Re: Cuyahoga County townships
Hi. The map from the 1874 Titus Atlas shows all of the townships currently on the page, with the exception of West Park (which you already wrote about) and Riveredge townships. As far as I know, the best source for more information is the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History. In addition to the articles, the Encyclopedia also has a series of maps showing civil subdivisions in 1843, 1903, 1928, and 1995, and another series displaying population in 1910, 1930, 1980, and 1990. From a cursory look at the maps, it appears there are a few townships that need to be added to the list, like Goldwood and Rocky River townships. - EurekaLott 12:46, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
1806
Actually, the Roman empire lasted sometime after the fall of the Byzantine empire, in name anyways. The Holy Roman Empire lasted untill 1806, and clearly it was a "Conscience attempt to ressurect the western Roman empire, which was considered to have ended in 476" (See wiki Holy Roman Empire) so if you wanna get technical the Roman name (As a political entity) wasnt wiped from the face of the earth untill 1806. --Sir Kindle 23:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Just name of Rome
I was really saying that the "name of Rome" lasted untill 1806, being that Fredrick II called himself the Holy Roman Emperor, and his realm the Holy Roman Empire. So even if the HRE wasnt a true heir to the Roman Empire (which could be argued) the name still exsisted(on paper).
I do believe the HRE was a heir to Rome for many reasons, but that it was also a Romano-Germanic empire, I dont want to list all the reasons here, but they exsist. But either if it was or not the name exsisted untill 1806, and I believe that is noteworthy. --Sir Kindle 01:40, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Re: Places in Ohio
Actually, Volapük Wikipedia has articles of most US cities and towns. The only problem is that they were isolated, i.e., no other Wikipedia "knew" about their existence through interwikis. I just ran the bot against the whole Volapük Wikipedia and voilà! Volapük interwikis started appearing everywhere ;). Cheers, Malafaya 17:26, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Revert Vandalism
I seen that you reverted vandalism without an automated edit summary. Probably meaning that you dont have an revert tool. If you want one you can try WP:TWINKLE or WP:POPUP which are the most popular ones. If you don't, then i'm sorry to have disturbed you. See you around :) -FlubecaTalk 04:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
huh?
Wat are you talking about? I didnt vandalise. Please provide evidence NOW. --Jaasermieneer 13:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- For anybody who wonders, this guy replaced the text of Sbarro with something like "Sbarro's is the best pizza chain in the world!" and was reverted — twice. Nyttend 13:07, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- == ok fine ==
Ok you shown no evidence, so I think this is a sick twisted joke and I want an apoligy NOW! For accusing me of vandaling when I actually didnt. I did NOT vandalise "Sbarro". --Jaasermieneer 13:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- Answer me please. --Jaasermieneer 13:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- No thats not a proper answer. You didnt show me the supposed "vandalism" I did. Now make an apology please. --Jaasermieneer 13:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- OK Fine dont answer me you gimp. Jaasermieneer 1-0 Nyttend. I win you lose.--Jaasermieneer 14:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- Why are you going to watch me I ddint even do anything! AND I didnt get my apoligy. All you have to say is one word, "sorry". That is all. Now are you going to say it or not? --Jaasermieneer 14:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Fighting game article
I'm writing this here because I don't know how else to contact you. I received a message from you about a change I made in the fighting games article. I have made the change again but this time addressed it in the discussion for that page. The change is not at all unreasonable and, in fact, I am just the latest in a chain of people that have attempted to remove the ridiclous rant about SEGA Lindbergh PCs that an individual has repeatedly posted in the fighting games section. This section that I have removed comes across as an advertisement, lacks any references, and is more of a rant than an encyclopedic article. Thanks.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.79.40 (talk • contribs)
Prebilovci
Could you please help me move the page I just created (you showed interest in on the talk page, doubtin accuracy which I am not suprised as the crimes of ustashe are sometimes hard to believe) - it should be titled Prebilovci massacre, not Prebilovici as I titled it by mistake (second letter i should be omitted). Thanks! Roramaster
- Thanks for moving the page. I disagree about POV tag however - the article merely lists what happened. How is this POV? I also thik you may be missing that this happened in WWII, and that genocidial policies of Ustasha regime are undisputed fact. It is not the issue from the 90s war, and villagers were certainly innocent - but that is not mentioned in the article. You seem to say that you have a problem with implication that ustashas were commiting crimes against innocent serbs. However, that is exactly what was going on in WWII - I do not think you can dispute mere description of this as POV. Ustasha regime in WWII had a policy by Pavelic and Mile Budak, that explicitly called for extermination of Serbs. If you have an impression that it is wrong to call this genocide an evil, thats up to you, but the article does not qualify that as evil explicitly - how can you write about a massacre in NPOV way except by being factual? Roramaster

not attacking, just curious. why did you revert the vandalism after someone already had?????? very confused... Bouncehoper 06:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Fighting games
The edit you reverted at Fighting game was not vandalism, it was actually the removal of some very unencyclopedic material constantly reposted by a spammer obsessed with the game Kwonho (which I refuse to link to out of spite). Easy mistake, but please read the material before you revert an edit. For the specific problems, see the talk page. JohnnyMrNinja 07:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Re: Counties in Ohio
I didn't even realize that list existed. Actually makes my job a lot easier, so sure, I'll merge those contents in. Thanks for pointing that out. Wizardman 23:18, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Wizardman is ahead of me - it's already been done. (Alternatively, I have such mighty powers that merely asking me causes something to be done even if I don't know about the request). By the way, have you considered adding your name to teh lists of participants at WP:COUNTYLISTS. Tompw (talk) (review) 11:04, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Ah, I'll make a note of that. I found another reference that has the entire date instead of just the year, so I'll use that one for that section. Wizardman 16:35, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- Well, certainly if there are contradicting sources, then it would be best to show all possibilities. Luckily the ohio ounty etymology wikipedia article has plenty of references. Ideally the secretary of state site would be most reliable, but just having the options as you said would probably be best. Wizardman 23:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Transferred licenses
- If the executor of the estate agrees that the copyrights to the photos belong to your father, then yes, he can release them however he wants. Releasing all rights is nice, but if he's not comfortable with that then any other free license is good too. See WP:ICT#For image creators for some suggestions.
- You can either buy the rights or get him to release the photos under a free license himself if he has no intention of profiting from them anyway. Licensing options are the same as above. TCC (talk) (contribs) 19:25, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

The Atlantean Language Institute
The article was deleted without anyone reading my explaination. I followed all the steps you gave me.
My page matched the Klingon Language Institute in detail and it remains. That is the third site ever on the Atlantean language, and the second of two that remain in exitance. It's important for the information that it contains and it's important for its being rare. I am the foremost scholar on the language, though my degree is in the Humanities.
I was going to use that page as a spring board for a new article on the brother site to The Atlantean Language Institute, The Vulcan Language Institute. I feel very frustrated. I was doing the Encyclopedia a service by providing articles related to Marc Okrand's languages.

Ovni
The group Ovni appeared on Conciertos de Radio 3 on TVE 2 (a national channel in Spain)- a 1 hour special. Their video "Tu Necesidad" is on rotation on MTV Tr3́s, METV, Mun2, and many other channels. Their album Aterrizaje is released by Nacional Records (a part of Warners)in the United States, and for these reasons (all of which would fulfil the notability criteria) I added them to Wikipedia. Before leaping to quick deletions for articles regarding contemporary culture, could you possibly take the time to find out whether your lack of awareness of a subject is mirrored by a similar level of knowledge within the general readership of Wikipedia. I don't believe Wikipedia is the place for promoting groups, but the purpose of the article was to explain what Ovni means, as the name would not make sense to a non-Spanish speaking audience who would now be aware of the band.I didn't spot this in time to do a hang on. Thanks. Sarcasmon 18:56, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello again, please help
Hi Nathaniel, sorry I haven't contributed or contacted in a long while, but if you see my Userpage you'll know that's changed.

afd
thanks for withdrawing the nomination and saving everyone further trouble. By the way it took only 5 minutes on Google Scholar--it would have saved even more trouble to have checked first. But there are lots of people out there who are indeed not notable, so keep right on looking for those articles. I have a trick in newpage patrol--instead of looking at the first screen, I go down at least four or five groups of 600 to catch the ones that may have escaped. Most people look at the top, and we need editors to do an additional screening. DGG (talk) 03:02, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Reply to your message
Yup, Doctor Gupta is just trolling now. I'm going to AIV with it now, alas. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 23:55, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- Reply to your second message. Yup. I have had a few dealings with Dr. Gupta during the week, but I had forgotten about him until I was looking at New pages and saw him pop up with a new article about himself, which said:
"Dr. Gupta has been sought after for many years for his ability to travel through time in a DeLorean and alter events. Despite the temptation, Dr. Gupta has never used time travel to his own benefit but only to assist others."
So he might be back :O) FlowerpotmaN·(t) 00:29, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Queen Elizabeth Cannon image
Hi, I got your message about the licensing for the Image:QueenElizabethCannon.JPG. It is from a page in a book. When I used the file upload wizard I selected the link for "a cover or other page from a book". However after that there was no licensing tag specific for "a page of a book" only a book cover so that is the one I had to use. If you can suggest another that would be great. It is a photo of an item over 100 years old. Over 250 years old in fact. Thanks Psycotics1454 19:49, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Commons Pics
I created my commons username/account. I have also uploaded two pics. However, I don't think I have uploaded correctly (category?).

Contribs to de.wiki - re
Hello Nyttend, thanks again for your contributions to de.wiki. I (and also Zollernalb I saw) wikified your new articles. The spelling and also formatting have been already very good. Maybe as you live there you have some more information, such as history, economy, infrastructure, culture and sports. Feel free to add them if you have time and feel like it. Whenever you need help no timidity to ask for. --Oxymoron83 10:50, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello Nyttend, it is the normal practise of the German Wikipedia to use the official title. I was irritated by the few inhabitants and thought it was an translation related error. I've changed it back now, sorry for any inconvenience caused. I've had problems with the word 'district' in the past as there are a lot of German words for which have different meanings (e. g. Bezirk, Stadtteil, Kreis, Regierungsbezirk). If you want to expand the aricles, don't hesitate with the sources; e. g. I think it would be no problem to insert infrastructure related information as you live there though dubious statements should ever be sourced. --Oxymoron83 22:06, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nyttend, thanks for your request. I will enregister myself to this project and adopt you :) First I have to prepare a suitable template. FYI: I will be on vacation in mid august, I hope that won't interfere. --Oxymoron83 17:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Not a problem
Hey not a problem. I was just editing a page about a Portage County village (Brady Lake) and noticed the listing of cities and villages, so after checking the template it looked like things just got mixed up. Thank you for reformatting it in the first place! --JonRidinger 18:49, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
DrVarkey
My appologies wiki-person. I did not understand this sock puppett message. I had assumed it to be a vandalism of my site, as my photo was also removed without just cause. I had assumed that i had the right to edit my own user page at will. The Page should have noted that deletion of this sock master would be justification for blocking. How can I vandalize my own user site, after all? What is my recourse when being accused of such dastardly things as sock person? Thanks. DrVarkey 12:53, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

- The first one I can do no problem. With a widesreen I try to take normal comps into account, but it was hard due to the sizes and everything. For the number of townships, I honestly don't know how I'd add that in, since the county template is pretty set in stone. You could talk to tompw about making a template that includes that though.

Editorial comments
Obviously, Nyttend is much more familiar with Wikipedia standards than I. However, I have reviewed the basic standards and fail to recognize exactly where this page "falls significantly short" of meeting those standards. Perhaps Nyttend would be willing to enlighten me, since I am unable to find any direct link to communicate with Nyttend directly.
Why don't you just leave a message on my talk page, rather than leaving it on yours? What you want to do is go to Wikipedia:Manual of Style, where you can see "In headings and subheadings: only the first letter of the first word, and the first letter of proper nouns are capitalized; all other letters are in lower case (for example, “Rules and regulations”, not “Rules and Regulations”);" Moreover, what you've written sounds like an essay about the history of Linwood, not an encyclopedic section. Nyttend 13:49, 10 August 2007 (UTC) As well, please don't plagiarise other websites, especially without attributing it. It's obvious that you've worked with this webpage, simply changing the wording slightly. Please don't do this; it's better to do a complete rewrite, as I've done. Nyttend 13:54, 10 August 2007 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:Spmatthews"
Obviously, I am new at Wikipedia, so please accept my deepest apologies for offending your highly cultivated sense of Wiki style and etiquette, since you have 27,000 posts and obviously have nothing better to do than police new Wikipedia entries. It would have been considerate of you to contact me BEFORE making editing changes to an entry and submitter you could tell was new, but hey I guess being European explains that. I appreciate pointers regarding Form and Style, but how about leaving the picky details of my writing style to me, unless it VIOLATES Wikipedia rules. I'm trying to offer people facts and information. If you're trying to get people to delete their entries, you're succeeding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spmatthews (talk • contribs)
I can't imagine what you mean by asking me to read Wiki:NoPersonalAttacks, unless you're trying to apologize for your rudeness. Maybe you don't have any responsibility to ask my permission to make changes, but yours seem to stick and mine keep getting revoked, so you've got the inside track on me Nyttend. Not to mention that your "rewrite" of my entry is nothing more than a "rephrase", and if you're going to edit something how about finishing the job. If you're going to add a footnote, then add the footnote, not just the notation for a footnote. Since you're the expert, how about telling me exactly how my writing style violates Wikipedia "rules" instead of just claiming that it does. If you are intersted in helping out a newcomer, then take some of your presious time and help! Don't just criticize! If that's not in the "Don't bite the newcomers" guide it should be! I hope you're happy with your Linwood, KS entry to Wikipedia. Silly me, I thought it would be my work, but hey it's your Wiki, so enjoy. Spmatthews 18:19, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Laramie
Hi Nyttend. Thanks for the improvement to the Reference section of Laramie. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia editing though not new to editing in general. Your fix resolves an opaqueness problem I had been wondering about. I wasn't sure if the general reader would know enough to click on a tiny blue footnote number to check a reference. You've solved the problem, and in the future I will do footnotes in the manner you've illustrated.
I do disagree with one other change you made to Laramie. Another Wikipedia editor suggested to me that multiple references to the same source (such as the one to the Laramie Museum) should not be reduced to ref=name after the first instance but that each instance should include the full citation. Otherwise the possibility exists that a future editor might delete the first instance and, thus, accidentally ruin the whole set. If you agree with this line of reasoning, I'll put the full information back into the subsequent Laramie Museum instances. Finetooth 17:00, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

- I used popups to revert the edit (after checking the history to make sure I wasn't reverting to a previous vandalism edit), so I didn't see the vandalism counter, but will try to remember to update it if disgruntled natives of small Kansas or other towns strike again.

Hi! Regarding your edit summary 'my 2RR', just to let you know that WP:3RR does not entitle an editor to be able to revert three times each day, nor does it endorse reverting as an editing technique.

Fairfield article
Thanks, Nyttend, for your attention to the article on Fairfield. The issue of the links made me realize that there are some things that should really be added to the article, like the new civic center and the trails. So I think I'll add that and then remove the links. Will try to get to that in the next couple days. IT's good that you brought this to my attention. TimidGuy 10:44, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
List of counties in Ohio
My apologies for not replying to your first message sooner on including the number of townships. Should you still wish to include them, use {{Countyrow}}. I added my thoughts about the FL nomination to its pafe at WP:FLC. You might also want to check out WP:COUNTYLISTS (and add your name to the list of particpants) for general advice and information.

Shawnee Twp
Saw your revert to include Lima as part of Shawnee Twp. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing an old map of Allen County with a separate Lima city and Lima Township, which of course would be a paper township now. Lima was included in the original survey township but is not (or is not longer) part of the civil township. (I don't see much distinction on wiki articles - but I'm sure no one in Lima pays any sort of tax to Shawnee.) It all boils down to the complicated annexation laws (withdrawal from township or "partial" annexation where it joins the city but stays in the township. I'm going to look for source on Lima Township and the legal position of the parts of Lima in the survey township. I'll keep you posted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Prinzwilhelm (talk • contribs) 21:07, August 20, 2007 (UTC).
Shawnee Twp
I've seen the maps before and it's not 100% accurate. For example, Dayton was never a part of Mad River Twp in Montgomery County although it appears it was.
Reagardless, Lima is no longer part of the township and hasn't been for quite some time. Fort Shawnee remains in the township. I'm not sure how to make that distinction, although other Ohio township pages seem to leave out cities that have withdrawn from the townships:Symmes Township, Bath Township, Sylvania Township, etc**
I suggest we list cities that are no longer part of townships as bordering neighbors.
- Other cities, mostly rural in nature do not withdraw from their township for example Wapakoneta, Fort Shawnee, etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Prinzwilhelm (talk • contribs) 22:01, August 20, 2007 (UTC).
Wailea-Makena, Hawaii
To Nyttend: hope this is the right place to put this comment, sorry if not so, I also placed on "Wailea" page talk page. Hi, I created this page originally on 11/11/05 and contributed the bulk of the non-statistical information, and my contributions you are removing represent valid and useful external links to reference materials not covered here such as Hawaiian cultural resources, books, film festivals, as well as urban planning guidelines for "Wailea" which is a master planned community on Maui. I believe your deletions violate the spirit of Wikipedia policy in that my contributions do not represent vandalism. When I created the Wailea page in 2005, which later someone merged into a "Wailea-Makena" page which also had only very minimal dry statistical information at that time, the intent was to provide more cultural depth to the resources made available to the Wikipedia visitor. Although technically the film festival site and the cultural Hawaiian book sites may be for-profit businesses, I would suggest to leave it to the intelligence of the Wikipedia user if they choose to go there or not. The external links are at the end of the page and if the reader is at that point and still reading that may mean he/she is seeking additional information in which case those external links may be useful to him/her. P.S. The Hawaiian language dictionary link has popup ads but it is still a highly useful cultural resource as Hawaiian words are used in place names throughout the islands. The popups are outweighed in my opinion by its benefit as a cultural resource. When I created the Wailea page in 2005, which later someone merged into a "Wailea-Makena" page which also had only very minimal dry statistical information at that time, the intent was to provide more cultural depth to the resources made available to the Wikipedia visitor. I read all the instructions at that time although I am not highly skilled in Wikipedia policy but everything I did seemed to be in keeping with policy at that time. Your slashing out large parts of my 2005 contributions seems to be not in keeping with the editorial policies I looked at recently. Wailea 19:08, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Geneva College with Bmstephany
Pictures
Dear Nathaniel: Let me first say that I work for Geneva College. Second, the pictures that I posted are owned by the college. I know this not only because I work there, but because I work with the college Web Master who explained the process by which they acquired the photos and now own them. In fact, these pictures were taken from the Geneva College website. Also know that I am not new to Wikipedia but I am new to editing content. With that said, it may be proper ediquette to notify you of any changes but it is certainly not a requirement. Additionally, any copyright issues concerning these photos should be policed by Wikipedia and not yourself. Finally, if you insist on replacing my pictures with your own please do the college a favor and put a respectable photo(s) on the Geneva College Wikipedia page. The picture of the track and soccer field is covered in snow! Nathaniel, please understand that once I figure out the technicalities concerning the copyright issues with my pictures they will be going up in place of your less favorable photos. My hope is that this is the end of this episode. However, if you would like to talk in person so as to resolve this issue please stop by the Admissions Office when you arrive back on campus and ask for Bryan.Bmstephany 02:06, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Pictures...Again
Nathaniel: Just wanted to note that I took a few of my own pictures today and put them on the Geneva College Wikipedia page. I did replace your picture of Johnston Gym only because I feel it is a slight aesthitic improvement (more green and less snow). Please do not be offended. Also, I believe I have included the appropriate copyright tag on my personal pictures. If there is a violation please help me through it as I am new to uploading pictures. Finally, at some point I think it would be a good idea to replace the picture taken from the south end of campus as it is difficult to make anything of the picture with all the snow on the ground. If I get a chance I will take one today and post it tonight. Let me know what you think. Nathaniel, please know that I respect all that you do for Wikipedia and that I only want what is best for both Wikipedia and Geneva College. Let us both do our best to give an accurate and respectable depiction of our wonderful institution. Grace and Peace!Bmstephany 17:20, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Notable Alumni
Nathaniel: I have reverted your changes (to my changes) on the Notable Alumni section of the Geneva College page. It is without question that both Dr. Steve Garber and Walt Mueller are of notable distinction. The definition for notable is: 1. Worthy of note or notice; remarkable, 2. Characterized by excellence or distinction; eminent. Additionally, these men are no less "notable" than individuals already on the list such as Casey Hageman, Joe Beggs, and Norman Clyde. Any variance in leaving Dr. Garber or Walt Mueller off of the Notable Alumni list is purely a matter of individual preference (based on your social and intellectual networks) rather than a matter of what can be considered popular opinion. I hope this is reasonable enough explanation to leave these two gentlemen on the list. Grace and Peace!Bmstephany 21:26, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Removing Alumni Again
Are you trying to upset me? If so, it is working. You edited the page and then remarked that "no reason is given that they're notable," when I was very thorough in my explanation concerning their notability. Additionally, I have consulted the the notability criteria and the Wikipedia:Notability (academics) page. Under these guidelines (which I am sure you are familiar with) these two men are "notable". If you took them off the page because they are redlinked then please take off Casey Hageman and Gerald J. LaValle before I do. Also know that I am working on creating a page for both of these individual as adviced by an administrator (who did not change my edits). Honestly Nathaniel, what is your problem? You don't own the notabilty list and you don't own the Geneva College page. I am one of many people both on Geneva's campus and off that feel Dr. Mueller and Dr. Garber are notable, so get over it and leave my edits alone. I am not vandalizing this page, I am trying to make it better but your ego is getting in the way. Grow up, get a life and get an intellect. Once again, I am more than willing to have this discussion in person if you are willing to talk when you get on campus. My guess is that you are too childish and immature to do so. Grace and Peace!Bmstephany 23:43, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Criteria for notability of people
A person is generally notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. As you can see, the bullet points you copied me do not mean that your two notable alumni are "inherently notable". Also, if Gerald J. LaValle and Case Hageman are notable then make a page for them.Bmstephany 00:54, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Resolving our Dispute
Nathaniel, I would like to respectfully engage you in a dialogue about adding individuals to the notable alumni section of the Geneva College article. I feel that you have not only been too quick to revert my edits but also that your reverts are based on personal opinion and not Wikipedia guidlines. Let's talk this through before having to go to Wikipedia: Third Opinion or an Administrator. I have begun the discussion on the Geneva College talk page. Additionally, it may be best to handle this conversation in person with all the proper documents in hand, such as all Wikipedia guidlines and other materials. Your thoughts?

Location map templates
I saw your question at User talk:Ruhrfisch. (Actually, I posted the same reply there, but just in case you aren't watching his page...) It would probably be more convenient to use {{Infobox Settlement}}, which calls {{Location map}}, which in itself calls {{Location map Ohio}}. Using {{Location map}} takes an existing map image and superimposes a dot on it with a caption. That way, nobody has to upload extra maps. I've added {{Infobox Settlement}} to Adams Mills, Ohio as an example. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 22:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Nyttend, Elkman's solution was what I was going to suggest as well, although I knew of the same feature in {{Geobox Settlement}}. Just to be clear, if you have latitude and longitude in the box, the maps are calibrated so that the dot is in the right location. Hope this helps, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, thanks for finding those guidelines. I knew they existed, but my search was fruitless. More then other places, Wyoming towns are more about who visits then who is native. I personally take a very strict interpretation of who is eligible for those lists - I think it should only be people born/raised in the town, and established residents who contribute back to the community (Like Harrison Ford who lives in Jackson, Wyoming), rather then just a vacation home, or worse, a visit (Sheridan, Wyoming is particularly guilty of that). This might be something we can clarify as part of the WikiProject Wyoming effort, since Wyoming is probably only one of two or three states with super low population, but heavy celebrity visitation.

An Apology to Nyttend
Last night I vandalized Nyttend's home page after he removed an edit that one of my friends made to my hometown of Upper. The edit was indeed vandalism but we were hoping that it would last for a while since it was on such a farflung corner of wikipedia. The vandalism that I commited against Nyttend included making fun of his colorblindness and his faith--at the time this didn't feel like such a horrible time since I was doing it to a faceless moderator, it was a few minutes afterwards that I realized that it was a really meanspirited edit. I am always a smartass but in general I try to not be a meanspirited one, so I am sincerely sorry, Nttend.
Also, I wanted to send this in a message form but I didn't know how to so this will have to suffice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.67.124.188 (talk) 23:43, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
A bit of local politics. Ho-Chunk variety. It's the name of the local sports teams. Indians they are (and girls basketball has done spectacularly in the past two years), but Ho-Chunks they are not likely to become, for obvious English-language reasons. Serious debate is involved locally, and all edits are presumed local (don't get involved unless this becomes an edit war; recently its mostly polite, even jokey). Chiefs and Chiefettes have been proposed. Again, don't get involved in the local joke, as well as the involvement of the Ho-Chunk tribe.--Ace Telephone 05:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Coordinates confusion
I do know that coordinates should appear at top of articles.

If you could give me a link to the article you were talking about I'd be happy to fix it. Psychless 01:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- If you go to Casey, Iowa, you can see that your re-addition of the mapit links make the coordinates look very strange. I feel that the mapit links are unnecessary, as any user can find them by clicking the linked coordinates. My previous revision still showed the coordinates at the top. If you are a very ardent supporter of the mapit links, I will however, not mind if you just change |display=inline,title to |display=inline. Otherwise you can just revert your edit.

I am pissed off! How do I get the Atlantic page I spent 4 hours working on back to looking good? I spent 4 hours of my life trying to make a basic page that nobody cared about look good, and I am rewarded for my time with my stuff being deleted and having pictures from 1875 put in their place. I dont understand why nobody cares about the page until I make it look good and add an infobox and everything and then somebody finally takes intrest in it and basically ruins the page. Everytime I change the picture back to more favorable modern images it gets deleted. HOW DO I FIX THE PAGE I SPENT SO MUCH TIME ON? That is all I want to know. Oh and thank you for the threat to ban me. I guess WikiPedia doesnt care about having things look good and they dont care about peoples time and efforts. How about you undo everything Ive added and let old ass who put the old pictures on their start from scratch how I did. I would appreciate an email back with how I can go about fixing the page, and I would like to know how come when I change the image it gets deleted but when they changed the picture that I had theirs stuck.

Re: Cedarville, Ohio
Although we probably are at a complete impass when it comes to opinions, I have to completely disagree with you when you say that multiple pictures constitutes a "gallery" and has no place in wikipedia. The information gleaned from photographs is invaluable, and would take up far too much space if all that information could even all be typed out. You do a great disservice by removing photographs that are pertinent to an article. I can not agree that 1 photograph is enough in an article, if many more are available and will help provide immensely more information. if 20 pictures are available, that that's perfect. Even more. People can pick and choose what they're interested in. I don't believe that's your job.
Also regarding the article on Cedarville, Ohio, all information relating to public "parts" of the town (i.e.: schools, churches, organizations, etc) most certainly have a distinct part to play in a Wikipedia article. How can you say that these don't play a part? A wikipedia article is for information on a particular topic or subject. By removing specific "public" information, all you do is discourage people from contributing information, and keeping information from reaching people who have an interest.

Diebold NOT and ad
I entered this into Green,Ohio to give credit where credit is due. Diebold made the last national voting machines in the last election spurring political controversy and ire among all involved. It is not an ad, simply stating the facts on where the facility is located. Please desist from this deletion. It is a statement of fact. Should anyone want to visit the facility, the location was erronious - It's the location of the company - no advertisement content was added, nor were any sales of any kind mentioned.
The address is Diebold, Incorporated 5995 Mayfair Road P.O. Box 3077 North Canton, Ohio USA 44720-8077
Look at the address - physically located in Green - the Post OFficer box is located in North Canton, Ohio - PO boxes can be located anywhere in the lower CONUS: Fact remains - headquarters physically located in green. Check with GOogle maps, maqquest, or as the local police department since thy will tell you if they get a call to investigate a disturbance at Diebold at the named location, they will not answer it because it is simply NOT IN THE CITY. Another Law enforcement agency will handle the call. Being a retired Police Lieutenant in the area, I know what is is whose jurisdiction. So please let me correct the situation or I will keep on this till the cows come home. Mayfair road is in summit County, in Stark County it turns into Pittsburgh Road. Mt. Pleasant separates the two counties. Give this a rest. It is what it is. The employees do not have cubicles or office space inside the PO box in North Canton. Why Are you being so hell bent in publishing missinformation? That is not what this is about - I can't believe you didn't catch the Klingon reference which is undisbutable and you let slide, but actual locations are actual location. I will take you there myself, personally with the county engineer(s) if you like. But lay off the location. Your original rationale for removal was that it sounded like an advertisement, yet good old Stephen Colbert gets tons of edits, well deserved on his Wiki. I was physically present in front of the building. Please allow me to introduce you to some fellow former and current Law enforcement officers in front of Diebold HQ, if your opinion is correct - I will stand down.
Checked the address on Diebold's website, it's certainly physically located in the City of Green. You can't always tell the actually city based on a place's postal address, especially in cities as young as Green. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prinzwilhelm (talk • contribs) 04:39, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
