Hi, thanks for undeleting the article. But most of the history is still missing. Please restore the history from the beginning - 19 December 2005. Jay ( talk) 07:50, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Chick. (Hey, I'm doing Lou Costello lines!). I haven't seen the deletion discussion (do you have a link?), but I do see that Boyd, Jim, "Rockwell Illustration 'The Runaway' Turns 50", TheBostonChannel.com / WCVB-TV, September 19, 2008, indeed says its state trooper Richard Clemens and not Obanheim.
I'd added the image based on information at Alice's Restaurant. I've now removed that uncited Runaway claim from that article.
Good eye! -- Tenebrae ( talk) 18:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
I saw your post on Talk:College town and am in complete agreement that the list of college towns part needs to be sourced or be deleted. I'm leaning towards the latter as "college town" is far too ambiguous and subjective for many cities to be definitively defined as such. I was wondering if you think we should give more time to reference that section or if it should simply be deleted? There's a grand total of 1 reference on the entire page and it's not even in the list section. A section could possibly be created to describe some obvious college towns (like Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge, etc), but I just don't see the need for a list. I'll add to your objection on that talk page as well so others can be made aware that you're not the only one who thinks this way. I just don't want people to get all upset at me for deleting it and was wondering if I had someone to support me on that. bob rulz ( talk) 07:42, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
A while back you closed out Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alured Ransom but you did userfy the article for me to User:Paulmcdonald/Alured Ransom. I've been working on this article off and on and have found some more very interesting and unique information from an offline source--the now defunct Pittsburgh Press ran an article in 1958 about how this gentleman was an advisor to the minister of education in Afghanistan for two years, helping set up the country's physical education programs for secondary schools and colleges. WOW, neat! Also, the "precedent" quoted in the AfD has since been restored (because it was learned that Walter J. West was also a professional football player).
Can you take a few moments look at the article in my user space and tell me what you think?-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 20:36, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Just to let you know that most cleanup templates, like "{{ Unreferenced}}", "{{ Fact}}" and , "{{ unref}}" etc., are best not "subst"ed , (e.g. Methodist Rome). See WP:SUBST for more details. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 19:51 22 October 2008 (UTC).
I have nominated Rob Miller (South Carolina politician), an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rob Miller (South Carolina politician). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

A non-composite image has just been uploaded, so I'd love your support if that remedies the problem you saw. Calliopejen1 ( talk) 21:35, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi!
I've been working on compiling numerous Dungeons & Dragons-related articles into longer articles so that there aren't as many short, stub-length pages, and I was wondering if you could restore the edit history of Faerie dragon so that I could merge the old content into another article. For now you could redirect it to Draconic creatures. Thanks! - Drilnoth ( talk) 22:21, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Individual wikiprojects are deleting infoboxes from articles, who'd a thunk it. -- Hoary ( talk) 06:53, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I just saw this project. Good idea. I checked some out and removed some fair use images. Now I am looking for some PD images. What is the best option for books already having a pd image? Right now they are striken, but I actually prefer to remove them, or at least to an archive, so that is easier to check which ones are still missing. After checking them, unfortunately for some books I saw that the public domain image was replaced by a fair use image.... Any preference? Since you currently seem to be the only member. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Garion96 ( talk • contribs)
Dear Chick Bowen, I noticed the disclaimer Paulicea Desvairada.jpg|here that says that we are not supposed to move this file to commons. But if you check at [ template], I understand that this cover was disclosed at 1922 and therefore is in the public domain. Can you verify that? Cheers, Editor br ( talk) 18:43, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi, this is back at AfD, could you undelete the talkpage? -- Banjeboi 19:24, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

My RFA passed today at 150/48/6. I wanted to thank you for weighing in on the RFA--I will do everything I can to uphold the policies of this site, and try to make it a better place. All the comments, questions, and in particular the opposes I plan to work on and learn from, so that I can hopefully always do the right thing with the huge trust given to me. rootology ( C)( T) 08:27, 1 February 2009 (UTC) |
Dear Chick Bowen , from observing your contributions, I found you to be a very reasonable person. I have voted against Mardetanha nomination and I appreciate if you read mine and other comment there. whether you decide to change your vote or not, but please keep in mind that this particular case is a very serious issue which can affect real lives of some wikipedia users. -- Kaaveh ( talk) 13:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
I have found more sources for the Houston Tower at http://www.google.com/search?q=Krahl+Houston+Tower&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS278US278 and have included a few to the external links. I havn't incorperated them into the article yet as the AFD is preventing me to spend time on writing and expanding it (as the Deletion Votes hold majority right now so there wouldn't be any point of expanding an article that has a majority vote of deletion even thought i found a way to fix the problem and even recreating (due to the AFD red tape) it will cause problems if I used the sources.) I am contacting you to determine that I believe that you should change your vote based on the new source results I found. Sawblade05 ( talk to me | my wiki life) 19:19, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
I've posted a general apology in my withdrawal statement at the Oversight election page, but I felt that as a contributor you deserve an individual apology too.
It was not my intention to let the election begin without a statement, but an IT gremlin "ate" my first attempt at posting there some hours before the election was to begin and then unforseeable RL issues prevented me from getting back to it until too late. Thank you for your consideration and sincere regrets for wasting your time. -- Dweller ( talk) 10:23, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi I am curious as to why the 'CAGE CANADIAN DICTIONARY' wiki was taken down in FEB 2006, the page www.cornerstoneword.com cotains no information now, I am wondering if it could be placed back up thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamoldgregg ( talk • contribs) 10:43, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for seeing clearly. I have now looked at the text of these category pages, and I have had another look at the pages that already existed. For this to make sense, changes must be made to some of them. I wonder if it would be appropriate for me to edit them, or if there is someone I should discuss each edit with first. I am taking the liberty of asking for your advice.-- Gamlevegen ( talk) 01:41, 11 February 2009 (UTC) Sorry. I posted this before I saw your message to me. I will try tomorrow as it is getting late in my time zone. To really make it perfect some of the other categories could be changed, too, not just the three. I will see if anything can be done without moving into controversial territory and creating difficulties for existing users.-- Gamlevegen ( talk) 01:56, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
I have never seen an AfD solicitation in a DRV close before. How common is that. It seems to be contrary to the 8–2 overturn responses.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 01:50, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello! Regarding Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2009_February_18#List_of_units_in_the_Age_of_Mythology_series_.28closed.29, would it be possible to note the DRV at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of units in the Age of Mythology series (2nd nomination)? I ask because in the past in instances where a history undelete and redirect was okayed after the AfD some have re-deleted the history thinking it was recreated in bad faith or the admin forgot to delete, etc. and thus to prevent any confusion it would be immensely helpful to add a note to the AfD regarding the DRV or linking to the DRV. Thanks! Sincerely, -- A Nobody My talk 17:24, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for giving me the chance to recreate my article. I have read your comment and the problem that I have is that I don’t know any other editors to ask for do the rewrite of the article. Furthermore, I don’t speak much English. So, can you recommend me any editor that would rewrite my article?
Thanks again. A greeting from Spain,-- Eleazar1954 ( talk) 19:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
The {{clear}} template places the text under the image, and prevents a narrow column of text appearing between the image and infobox. To my eye, it looks neater that way. It's no big thing, so I'm not going to edit war over it. I'll leave it up to you as to whether or not you replace it. Mjroots ( talk) 08:42, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
