Pittsburgh & Susquehanna
Hello,
I had to undo your recent edit as the Pittsburgh & Susquehanna ("Alley Popper") was not a PRR branch, but a competitor. I'll eventually get around to expanding that article based on Richard Adams' book, the only significant source I know of on the railroad.
On a more positive note, I'll have some time in which I can visit the Hagley this summer (it's fairly convenient to me), so if you need me to look up something for one of your projects, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Choess (talk) 02:40, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, and I see you were just acting on bad information already existing on the Air-line railroad page. No problem, I fixed that too. Best, Choess (talk) 02:45, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hopefully final note—I'm removing the "Frederick and Pennsylvania Line" from that list. As far as I know, "Pennsylvania Line" just indicates that it would be built to the state line to connect with a Pennsylvania-chartered railroad, not that it would be an "Air Line". We have a similar phenomenon nearer my area in the "Pomeroy & State Line", briefly the owner of what would later be the Pennsylvania part of the Pomeroy & Newark Branch. Choess (talk) 02:48, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. Did you mean WRT to Air-line railroad page or in general? As regards the former, I think it might be better to do away with the list from that article altogether; what it really is is a list of railroads with "air line" in the name, many of which were not really "air lines" in terms of construction. I'm not sure that's a really useful criterion for assembling an encyclopedic list. I haven't gotten back to the Hagley since my Pomeroy & Newark talk, but I'll see what they have in their holdings the next time I'm there. Choess (talk) 18:28, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
"air-line" was a term of art that was used contemporaneously .... It was used frequently as your article attests to ... I think it is useful to look at the term... rightly or wrongly in context... this article is one of the with any analysis or discussion I have found on it... I appreciate your effort and I think it adds value... best to you... Risk Engineer (talk) 18:41, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 16:01, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on File:1923 Bollman Truss elevation for HF, WVA Brothers.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
- state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
- add the relevant copyright tag.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:29, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, the comment is valid as I noted on the file talk page... I am separately seeking permission from the library to use the picture as it is unique... and will resubmit when and if I get it...
- Risk Engineer (talk) 11:53, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Currently I put the current-day values of old numbers like this: ($year=number), for example ($2024=72,284,000)
However I'm not too sure about its look. Maybe (year=$number) would be better, for example (2024=$72,284,000) or (year=$number) such as (2024=$72,284,000)
What do you think? Needs to be explicit but concise. John of Cromer (talk) mytime= Mon 11:32, wikitime= 10:32, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
- Another gentlemen edited those numbers into the article... personally, my vote would be for the subscript numbers... ($year=number), for example ($2024=72,284,000) less obtrusive... thanks ...
- Risk Engineer (talk) 11:56, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
- No, it was me! I'll leave them like they are. NB they should all automatically inflate with year change. John of Cromer (talk) mytime= Mon 18:14, wikitime= 17:14, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello! I saw that you are interested in engineering standards. While I do not know so much about this, I am a fan of the work of Carl Malumud who wants to give more public access to standards and I work for Consumer Reports, which is a nonprofit organization which tests for conformity of consumer products to standards.
If you ever want feedback or comments on standards work on Wikipedia ping me and I will come around. Also, at the end of May there will be a Wikipedia conference in NYC. If you want to meet others, feel free to join us. Also propose a presentation if you like. Thanks! Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:00, 16 March 2014 (UTC) |

An exciting month of wiki events!
Hello there,
I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.
First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.
On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.
The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.
There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!
All the best,
James Hare

About those speedy nominations
What exactly are you trying to do? I've nominated them under WP:CSD#A3 ("No content") as they are literally all just a title and a stub template, and from the titles they don't look like they should be WP articles. ansh666 06:59, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- I'd recommend making any potential new articles in your userspace (WP:USERFY), as that will give you time to come back and work at them at your leisure. The thing is, once you create something in the mainspace you are kind of honor bound to add at least some content to it to where it can't be speedied as a completely empty article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:35, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comment ...you are right, I should have worked in my user sandbox to develop more of the article than I did... I did that for the other proceeding articles leading into from the Board on Infrastructure and Constructed Environment... but more so.. I do intend to be "honor bound" to finish the articles... Separate issue ...but I had asked at the teahouse about any templates for these type of articles... many thanks ... Risk Engineer (talk) 13:12, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Board on Infrastructure and Constructed Environment, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Facility (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Disambiguation link notification for May 24
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Title 49 CFR Part 600 - 699, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Financial assistance (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Bad link on User Page
You link to a FAQ on Archive.org for removing carriage returns from old documents. The link currently points to the wrong item on the FAQ. My guess is that they added more stuff before that item. The correct link should be https://archive.org/about/faqs.php#171 . Zell Faze (talk) 14:31, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Frederick History Edit-a-thon
Just wanted to remind you that this is today. From noon to 4 PM today I will have access to the Maryland Room at Frederick County Public Libraries. If you need me to look anything up for you or anything along those lines, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for offering to help out remotely! Zell Faze (talk) 14:39, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
