Michael R. Macari

I see you deleted my entry on Michael. He is an active figure in the community, and has done well. He has some significance to our community and as such I chose to add him... what kind of significance is a person required to have to be added to Wiki?

Drexel Alumni: Pearlstein

I noticed that you added Leonard Pearlstein to the list of Drexel University alumni. I'm happy that you're contributing, however the articles that you cited don't actually say that he was an alumni, only that he was a contributer and that the gallery is named after him. In fact I can't find any source saying that he's an actual alumni. If you can then you're welcome to add it, or if you need help adding it just give me the link to the source and I can show you how to add the reference, but if you can't find a reliable source that says that Pearlstein attended Drexel then it will be removed. --TexasDex ★ 03:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Glad to hear you've got that straightened out. Thank you for doing the work, and let me know if you need any help with the article. --TexasDex ★ 03:14, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

K-368

Roads of the state highway level and above are generally agreed to be inherently notable. See User:Scott5114/Highway notability FAQ. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 01:37, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Basically, yes, because there are thousands (millions?) of roads in Kansas alone, and this is one of the comparatively few (~300?) that KDOT singled out to get one of those designations. Having a designation is sort of a big deal. State highways get extra signage and maintenance furnished by the state DOT and funded by the state government's tax dollars, which allow for a higher standard of quality than a county or city road. State highways also meet WP:Notability because they're the subject of many available sources: DOT records, maps, and so on... and you can say a lot about the highway too, even short ones; see Oklahoma State Highway 156, Oklahoma State Highway 74, Kansas Turnpike for an idea of what is possible for road articles. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 01:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, you

I'm the person that started the Higher Education in British Columbia as an assignment for my class. I realize Wiki is a public thing and anyone can edit and whatever, but what you did has really caused problems for me with regards to my assignment. I just wanted to let you know that I'll be uploading a final version in order to be graded so what you posted will likely be deleted, but I understand from a Wikipedia administrator you can reverse what I did, but I ask you to wait until June 11. Thank you. (Dawnalee8 (talk) 21:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC))

Oh, I agree with you neither I or my professor understand Wikipedia. I was actually against using it for the class project, but no, that's not the way the prof wanted to do things. I think the prof will re-think how things are done for future assignments when this course is taught again to a different set of students. Thanks for understanding though. Cheers. (Dawnalee8 (talk) 03:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC))

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Broadway world logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Broadway world logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:42, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikis Take Manhattan

Wikis Take Manhattan Next: Saturday September 27

WHAT Wikis Take Manhattan is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and StreetsWiki articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City.

• Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Spring 2008 (a description of the results, and the uploading party)
• Commons:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Gallery (our cool gallery)

WINNINGS? Prizes include a dinner for three with Wikipedia creator Jimmy Wales at Pure Food & Wine, gift certificates to Bicycle Habitiat and the LimeWire Store, and more!

WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, September 27th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.

WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!

REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.

WHERE Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's West Village office. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:

• Wikis Take Manhattan page at The Open Planning Project

Speedy tagging

Hi. I noticed that you tagged this article Brett allely for deletion. It was created only 2 minutes before, and it really is a good idea to give people a bit more time to figure out how to edit here before you tag articles for deletion. Tagging new articles too fast can be quite bitey as I am sure you understand. Keep up the good work though! --Slp1 (talk) 03:21, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't recall that page in particular, but in general I feel like people should develop their new pages within a sandbox and then once the page is at least a stub, they can post it to article space. Having the page be created and garbage is not good practice, in my opinion. --Mblumber (talk) 03:40, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

You are right that it is probably a good idea to prepare something in a sandbox first, but unfortunately not all newbies know or realize this. And of course it is only a good idea because some people are very quick to tag/delete articles rather than giving an editor a chance to improve their first save. That's why waiting a while to post speedy tags on articles is a good idea. Some people suggest starting at the bottom of the newpages list rather than the top for precisely these reasons. Obviously an article that already contains enough information to make a decision (an attack, test, utter nonsense) is a different matter. This particular article didn't consist of garbage, but instead some headings that were apparently going to be filled in by the editor. --Slp1 (talk) 23:23, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Evolution-Data Optimized

As far as the separate article goes...

I think that's a good idea. I have removed list-type content from a number of articles based on the amount of time I was spending maintaining them. My experience is that those types of lists grow explosively and tend to attract spam and other unwanted material.

Thank you for the work on the FratMember template

Thank you for the work on the FratMember template, being able to bring the images into the same structure with the entries appears *very* useful. Now, since I would like ice cream on my free apple pie :), is there any way that we can get the images evenly distributed vertically within the text section that they are associated with? My guess that should be discussed before being put in, I'm just curious as to whether it would be possible and your opinion. Naraht (talk) 14:22, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

That's a great question. I've never seen it done before, and with my knowledge of HTML I believe that it would be quite difficult. The issue here is that these pages render different on different browsers. So if we made it evenly spaced on my screen it would most likely look different for you. I'll look into it though, because it would be very nice to have. --Mblumber (talk) 14:28, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

I see. Well I would say that a majority of those articles also have NPOV issues. I'm not trying to cause trouble, but it just feels to me like these sort of articles don't belong in an encyclopedia. --Mblumber (talk) 00:19, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

The topic is notable. So too the Iran-Iraq War. You should nominate all pages for deletion if you feel they don't belong. I'm going to remove the tag from the U.S. support page but leave the Iraqgate with a template, so other users can expand it. Dynablaster (talk) 00:41, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I certainly agree that the topic is notable, because there's clearly a lot of international coverage. Let's just see a more balanced article rather than an opinion piece, and we're all good. --Mblumber (talk) 03:44, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Betty Brown Article

It's a work in progress, but it definitely meets Wikipedia standards for notability. Her remarks have indeed been very controversial and have genuinely ignited protests from Asian American organizations all over the country. I'm working on an unbiased article, plus, she IS a legislator and as such does deserve to have her own page.
