What are you doing to Gahanna? Regardless of what anyone else has done to the article, there is no reason for it to be deleted. Nyttend 22:52, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know!! It was a complete accident, for I am trying to get rid of that crap that some jerk is doing to it. I have tried contacting Wiki officials to get the IP address of the other user blocked. Have you read the history of this page??? I need help in blocking this guy!! OhioVanguard

Regarding AIV

[edit]

You posted a large number of IPs on AIV, without a reason. Could you please edit the page and add a reason (either for all, or individually), why they should be blocked/investigated/have other action taken? Thanks! Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 01:34, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was clear. In any case, I just tried going back to add the info you requested, but there's nothing to go back to. OhioVanguard 02:46, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please assume good faith, and read NPA and BITE. They are very important policies. Also, before reporting users, please warn them appropriately. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 01:36, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lastly, please remember to sign your posts on all talk pages, including warnings. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 01:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all the above info. I'm just glad that someone has finally addressed this and locked Gahanna down. However, I guarantee that the page will once again be vandalized by the same anonymous user. When this happens, what will be the next step?? What will admins of Wikipedia do??

WikiProject Ohio Newsletter

[edit]


Issue II - May 2008
From the editor:

Here's Issue II of the project newsletter. We're trying to decide if this is sinking or floating. If you would like to contribute to next month's newsletter please jump right in at the News Desk! Have a great May.

The Ohio Portal

The maintainers of the Ohio Portal are looking to get it to featured status. They would like to ask all project members to help improve it any way they can. What needs to be done most is the supplying of selected articles and images.

Selected Article: Indian Head Rock

There is a eight ton rock in Ohio that was removed from the Ohio River. This rock is known as the Indian Head Rock Dating back to the early 1800’s, this rock was seen sticking out of the Ohio River and used as a navigational mark for barges along the river. The names of citizens from the town of Portsmouth, Ohio are carved into the rock from the late nineteenth a early twentieth centuries. Some of the names were of well known families from Ohio. They would swim out to the rock, have their picture taken with it or simply carve their names into it.
With the advent of the Locks and Dams along the Ohio River, the rock eventually was submerged, but the legend lived on. A gentleman from Ironton, Ohio located the rock after searching a very long time for it, and he and a crew of scuba divers recovered the rock and took it to the shore to be donated to Ohio for historical value.
After hearing the news about the rock being removed, Kentucky introduced legislation against the removal of the rock. They also want the diver who found it to be prosecuted for removing the rock. Kentucky owns the greatest part of the land the river runs on. Even the Army Corp. of Engineers got involved as to how to move the rock without damaging it. Kentucky wants to have it returned to the river.

The WikiProject Ohio Newsletter


Issue III - June 2008
From the editor:

This is the third edition of the WikiProject Ohio newsletter. If you have any project announcements feel free to drop them by the NewsDesk. It's request that you watchlist our talk page; so you can chime in on current discussions. Have a great June!

The Ohio Portal

The maintainers of the Ohio Portal are looking to get it to featured status. They would like to ask all project members to help improve it any way they can. What needs to be done most is the supplying of selected articles and images.

Getting the Project Moving
  • WikiProject Ohio as an entity doesn't have as much action as other state projects. For this reason it has been proposed that the inactive WikiProject Ohio Townships be added as our taskforce. There is a !poll going on at WT:OH and your opinion is essential in the matter!
  • Stepshep has also proposed sending an invite to everyone in Category:Wikipedians in Ohio with an invite to join the project. If you are already a member you would not receive the notice of course. Once again, please note your opinion on the project talkpage.

The Central Avenue Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located at 201 to 338 Central Avenue in Dayton, Ohio. It consists of late 19th and 20th Century Revival-style houses as well as late Victorian-style houses, which were all originally single-family residences.

On December 16, 1982, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Each month a new Ohio related stub is the selected article. If you have a new stub created feel free to nominate it at the NewsDesk.
