Vaucluse

IMO, your edit is credible and appropriate here. See comment at User talk:OSX#Vaucluse. --Tenmei (talk) 16:10, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Georgia post-2020 court cases

Georgia being listed as having one 'Appeal Ongoing' should be updated since Lin Wood's case was dismissed by the Supreme Court on March 10. Not by me because I'm useless with tables and code: whoever did the otherwise comprehensive table and updated all other States besides Georgia and Pennsylvania should do it, as I said not me because I would make complete a mess of it.

The Culture vandalism

Hi Timmccloud - while I realise you might be frustrated with the petty vandalism going on at The Culture, calling it 'idiocy' isn't really that diplomatic - there is a list of more conciliatory template messages over at Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. Thanks, Arctic Night 16:15, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Point taken. Huh - I thought we couldn't use templates in user pages anymore, I've seen at least one bot undoing them. Thanks, will try to do better! Timmccloud (talk) 05:08, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nora, Wisconsin

Sorry, but multiple sources indicate that Nora is a community, not just a bar. The USGS recognizes it as a community, as do the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (on their Dane County highway map) and the Wisconsin Historical Society. There also appear to be several houses surrounding the bar based on Google Maps street view, which indicates that the bar is not the only thing at this location. Nora may have once been a larger community as well, though I don't have any sources about its past. Keep in mind that not all small unincorporated communities are census-designated places with boundaries, nor do they all have post offices, and some don't have signage. That doesn't mean they aren't communities if reliable sources indicate they are, which in this case they do. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 03:10, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per the result of numerous AFDs, verifiable named populated places (even very small ones) are considered notable. Since Nora is marked as a community on WisDOT maps and listed as a populated place by the USGS, both of which are considered reliable sources, it's a verified populated place.

The Culture article renaming

Hi. We don't know each other, but I see that you have an interest in the Culture. There is currently a dispute over article naming (which I instigated, I suppose). I don't know what your views are, nor do I care; what I do hope for is a consensus that involves more than the opinions of two people (I've seen discussions with three users responding over the course of three years, which makes for some poor consensus), so I'm bringing this to your attention and hopefully get some additional voices into the mix. Thanks. erc ^{talk/contribs} 04:08, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brando, at Eagle Rock versus Brando residing

I have a pic of JFK at Ona, West Virginia. Did JFK, reside at Ona West Virginia? NO. Did he reside at Slab Fork WV? NO. Did he reside in Helen WV? NO. He was indeed there. He did indeed get interviewed by the local news and the National media, there, but, did he RESIDE there??? NO. Did Marlon Brando, reside there? NO. The pic specifies that he was studying for a role in a film, in that area.........I will read the source again to make 100% certainCoal town guy (talk) 17:44, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The pic of Brando is in a wheelchair at the Vets hospital in Van Nuys, not Eagle Rock. He did stay at a relatives house there for a filming, but did he RESIDE there....NO.Coal town guy (talk) 17:50, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

HERE is the wiki standard on Notable Residents. Brando is NOT in any way qualified. The entire list would need to be reviewed.Coal town guy (talk) 18:19, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My reply is in the talk page where consensus can be built. Your basis of denial is one online reference, when in fact Brando spent a lot of time in Eagle Rock over many years during filming at his Aunt's house. That movie is one where there is an online reference. Also, in those days filming could take over a year, many actors would split their time between two to three roles, filming would stop on weekends and be 8-10 hour days instead of the current normal of 16-20 non stop. And that essay is not a wiki standard, it's an essay - please read the talk notes, even the essay has some disent. Thank you for your work on the wiki!

Everything You Wanted to Know...

I'm sorry you didn't care for the tone of my comments, however, I stand by the content. Dr. Reuben's book is riddled with outdated misinformation and outright bigotry, which he dresses up as scientific fact. It's notable that he first published his screed in 1969-the year of the Stonewall Riots, among other things. What would be an acceptable way, to you, to raise that his book is wildly opinionated and deals in poorly sourced information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.80.41 (talk) 18:15, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm KoshVorlon. An edit that you recently made to United Township High School seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! KoshVorlon. We are all Kosh ... 13:24, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Outrageous deletion of your talk contrib

Your article-talk contrib 2 days ago was reverted on cluelessly invalid grounds. I'm presently indisposed from reverting or weighing in, but other experienced admins & editors should not be hard to find if needed.

TEP crest

Hi Tim,

Could you update the crest on the TEP page? The one shown has the wrong number of pearls. Thanks.

File:Tau Epsilon Phi Coat of Arms.png

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Cheesehead

You've been down this road before. You need to reread the talk page and restore the article to its consensus version. "Cheesehead" as used by the Dutch is NOT the origin of the U.S. term. The arose independently of one another. 32.218.104.153 (talk) 01:24, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
