Fitchburg State College edit

Great! I see that you've started reorganizing the article. Please let me know if you need help merging the sections or if you just don't know where to start. I've done few of these university articles already. I just hope I don't chop off something that's notable. Anyways, if you need help, don't be shy to ask. Have a great day! - Jameson L.

"Fitchburg State College has over 3,500 undergraduate and 1670 graduate/continuing education students, for a total student body enrollment of 5201." How does 3500+1670 equal to 5201? What figures are you using? Is it published somewhere? (If so, please ref). I'll be working on the article tonight. Please review it some time. Thanks! - Jameson L.

Never mind, I saw the specific figures in the infobox. Still, please reference these figures. - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 05:35, 11 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
OK... there needs to be a lot of prose rewrites. I'm not as good with those, but it seems your article is full of them. Please see if you can shrink the lists down into paragraph form.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Allston Street (MBTA station), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Griggs Street/Long Avenue (MBTA station). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Higgins Armory edit

I reverted your revert of my infobox cleanup. You had changed the architectural style to "art deco" due to the museums web site, while the nrhp data (based on the submission form) says international. It's not too hard to understand how this happened, International and Art Deco are very similiar in time and style. You could argue it's both. Anyway, just want to let you know more about why I kept it based on the nrhp ref, without changing the article's use of Art Deco. dm (talk) 19:03, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Annalees edit

I'm going home today, so would you like me to take a picture of an Annalee doll for you and upload it? My grandmother was a collector lol. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 17:54, 22 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

If you look at their website [1] there is no mention of "Mobilitee" (is that even a word??). Note the copyright in the bottom right corner "Annalee Dolls, Inc". Since the actual company shows no mention of this extra word I don't think it would be right to include it because a few sources do. The only source that matters on the issue is the business itself. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 00:26, 24 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
I disagree. quoted from here on the Annalee site "It was Chip Thorndike who designed the wire frame that held the dolls in position and made their positions poseable. The doll business was incorporated in 1955 as Annalee Mobilitee Dolls." The same page explains "Chip innovates an internal wire frame, transforming Annalee's felt dolls into poseable or "mobilitee" dolls." Also, this patent is issued to "Annalee Mobilitee Dolls." I actualy almost named the page "Annalee Mobilitee Dolls because it is the true name of the business but I went with the more common name instead.--Found5dollar (talk) 02:25, 24 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
That wouldn't explain the copyright on their site though. It is possible that they started out that way, but it seems that now they are not using "Mobilitee". Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 02:27, 24 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
According to the NH government Corporation Division, there are two distinct corporations Annalee Dolls, Inc., created in 2008, and Annalee Mobilitee Dolls, Inc. created in 1962. Both companies filed Annual reports in April 2009 so technically they are both active. Annalee Mobilitee Dolls Inc. is now legally known as "AMD Holdings, Inc." It looks as if there is a bit of legal trickery going on where two board members switched to one It does appear that "AMD Holdings Inc." still owns all property of the former "annalee Mobiltee Dolls Inc.," where "Annalee Dolls Inc." is just a legal entity to keep bad things from happening to the other company (since it is technical owned by Annalee's lawyer.--Found5dollar (talk) 03:03, 24 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
So it would seem that the name of the actual company creating the dolls is Annalee Dolls, Inc right? Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 15:53, 25 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
No, it looks like the companly actualy making the dolls is "AMD Holdings, Inc." "Annalee Dolls Inc." seems to be the ones that deal with all the paperwork, and i definalty do not think that the page should be renamed to "AMD Holdings." --Found5dollar (talk) 19:42, 25 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Regardless, the company markets itself as "Annalee Dolls, Inc" as exhibited on their website. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 00:50, 26 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
I proofread it, found and uploaded pictures, verified sources, etc. The criteria for being included for credit isn't doing the most work, it's getting the article up to standards. I didn't think it was a big deal. In fact I have been automatically added in the past to other DYK noms just for making similar edits. Neither of those two times did I even expect it. Don't take it as me "stealing" credit. Wikipedia is a team process. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 15:57, 3 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
It says "created or substantially expanded" not "checked sources and proofread."--Found5dollar (talk) 16:08, 3 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Winnipesaukee Playhouse edit

Hi - Great job putting together the article update! I took out the "Awards" section because it didn't add anything beyond what was in the opening section. Certainly when there is a longer list of awards (in a few more years?) a separate section would be advisable. At this point, the list of awards reads well in the opening paragraph so in my opinion doesn't need to be repeated. See you, --Ken Gallager (talk) 14:48, 25 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

I don't do queues anymore. Materialscientist does most of the queues these days, I suggest you ask him if he'd like some help putting the April Fool's hooks together. Gatoclass (talk) 02:02, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Quite honestly I think it would be best if you left it to a more experienced user. April Fool's is not the right day to initiate yourself into updating. Gatoclass (talk) 02:09, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Don't worry, someone will do them, plenty of time yet :) Gatoclass (talk) 02:16, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Put it this way, it's 46 hours before the start of April Fool's UTC, which is when we start - that's almost two days away. It only takes an hour or so to put together four updates, so if no-one else has done them by then, they can be done an hour or two before they are due - heck, even fifteen minutes before. Gatoclass (talk) 02:24, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
As I've said, I'd prefer to see an experienced user do this because, quite frankly, if there's something I really hate doing it's having to fix problematic updates. However, if you really, really want to have a go at this, you must first read and understand the rules of thumb for preparing updates. You must remember to put a funny or quirky hook last in the update. For April Fool's specifically, you need to count the number of verified April Fool's hooks and then divide the number evenly over the four updates for April Fool's. You do not cram in all the hooks in the first two or three updates and then have none left for the last one or two (which is a problem we've had to fix on several occasions).
If you think you can remember all that for your first try, then don't let me stop you. However, I would also remind you that some of the April Fool's hooks are still awaiting final verification or disqualification, so it might be better to leave things a little longer to see if any more are going to get verified, so you can adjust the queues accordingly. Gatoclass (talk) 02:49, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Okay. Gatoclass (talk) 02:59, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
You've got three British hooks in a row in the first update. Gatoclass (talk) 04:12, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Are you sure all those articles are from the April Fool's page? Some of them I don't remember seeing. Gatoclass (talk) 04:27, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Okay, well load them into prep, together with the credits, and delete the ones you've uploaded from the April Fool's page, and you're pretty much done. Gatoclass (talk) 04:34, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
No, I think you've done very well for a first attempt. They might need a little tweaking here and there, but overall they look fine. We seem to have a better batch than last year, one or two certainly gave me a smile. Thanks for helping out :) Gatoclass (talk) 04:40, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Re: Please Slow Down edit

Sorry about that. I hadn't realized how recent your edit was. Is there a fix for this particular problem with the tables? – Zntrip 04:27, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'm not too sure what you were trying to do with your last edit, but according to Help:Table: "With colspan and rowspan cells can span several columns or rows ... However, this has the disadvantage that sorting does not work properly anymore." I don't think it is possible to use sorting on either table in their current forms. – Zntrip 04:32, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Sorry about all the frustration. It might be helpful to use Template:In use next time. – Zntrip 04:41, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Congresspeople photos edit

Hey there. I'll do my best to keep looking for images for List of members of the United States Congress killed or wounded in office, though I checked the Library of Congress website and couldn't find them there, but maybe I'll try some old newspapers...I already found one, John Quitman! Great work with the list. BobAmnertiopsisChatMe! 20:35, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the Congress attacks list work! There's also an Embassy list... edit

Thanks much for your great work on the list of attacks on Congressmen. I made the article a year and some back, and it really didn't get much interest until this month's Arizona attack, at which point hits skyrocketed and editors like yourself made it 10 times more informative and better laid-out.

Not to pressure you, but once work slows down on the Congress list, very similar research/layout skillsets could be helpful at the steadily expanding List of attacks on diplomatic missions. There are plenty of serious attacks from earlier last century that have been forgotten but are still in the history books, and worth adding.

Thanks again for all your hard work, MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:11, 14 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Twenty-five Year Award edit

The award list has so much more impact with all the pictures now. It looks great.

This reminds me of all those years in architecture pages... I started adding one big image of the "star" project for some years at the top. I think this wikitable format for lists can really help the pages from getting too disorganized and personalized (am I rambling?) I don't have any Wikicake to give you in appreciation... thanks for some inspiration and another job well done.

Thank You! edit

  The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar
I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition.

It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal.

Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.)

Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future.

Response from wih_lim re MBTA edits edit

This is wih_lim's father. He just turned 7 today and, as you can tell, is very interested and knowledgeable about the MBTA. We didn't realize that, in addition to reading all these Wikipedia articles, he was now starting to edit and start articles, too. After seeing his talk page, we've spoken with him about the need to understand the policies and guidelines before he does this. So, aside from a couple of remaining changes that he wanted to make on the Assembly Square (MBTA station) page that he created, he's going to learn the policies and guidelines before doing anything else, and we'll review any changes or new articles that he wants to post after that. Apologies for the problematic edits and such to date. Wih lmi (talk) 18:54, 10 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks edit

Thanks for the Senate's gavel - glad to know my PR comments were helpful. Just to be very clear, some of the ideas were just that - ideas I had. Would it make sense to split the list? Maybe, but I am not sure. Hopefully some other editors will weigh in too. Thanks again, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:08, 15 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hahahahaha that sentence was a whole bait and switch tactic. I had misspelled a bunch of stuff and had poor grammar and over the years it has been fixed by random editors.

About Fuzhou Bombing edit

If you want to do some useful thing, please give some good information. Please. Also I suppose you should have a college degree, and knows about the citation rules in academic? Furthermore, if possible, I suggest you learn some Chinese.Otherwise, I strongly doubt your ability to edit China-related articles.MECHEMENG (talk) 00:19, 28 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Please do not assume that I do not have a college degree (I do), or that I do not know citation rules (I do). Also, as this is the English wikipedia, references that are in English are preferred over references in other languages when available. The beauty of wiki software is that "anyone can edit" it no matter their level of knowledge of the subject matter. I would suggest, as I have stated many times on your talk page, on the article's talk page, and in edit summaries, that it is completely counter productive to delete sourced information. Please stop doing so. Also, messages like the one I am responding to are not in line with Wikipedia:Etiquette. Showing respect to other editors and their additions to the article go along way. Deletionism is rarely the answer.--Found5dollar (talk) 00:48, 28 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

What is the most important thing in wikipedia? It is truth. Your so called source is wrong. You want to give a dead woman life again. Is this so called source? I strongly agree with what the creator of that page did, he/she just gave us reliable source and also kept improving the article. By the way, I also hate something which i think you can guess, but here we want to give readers a truth. You know the wrong information has spread in Chinese forum about his wife's "alive". I want to let you know many even cited from Wikipedia. MECHEMENG (talk) 00:58, 28 May 2011 (UTC)Reply


No matter what kind of language the source linked, the truth is the most important. MECHEMENG (talk) 01:01, 28 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Truth is not the most important thing in wikipedia. Verifiability is. Right now it can be verified through reliable sources that a woman who claims to be his wife has released a statement. That statement relates directly to the article. Therefore, it should be included. I will stress this again "Deletionism is rarely the answer," and again please stay civil in your discussion.--Found5dollar (talk) 01:12, 28 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Mechameng: The most important thing in Wikipedia is not truth. The most important thing is verifiability. If anyone is posting messages on article talk pages, would they please have the good grace to post them in English, and place the required warning template on the talk page of anyone who disregards the rule. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:42, 28 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ok,if there are two sources, one is obviously not right, the other is confirmed to be the truth. Which one do we need to cite? I am pretty sure most will agree that we should cite the right one. As a Wikepidan, we also have responsibility to improve our citation. I recommended two articles to you . http://www.technologyreview.com/web/21558/ http://news.cnet.com/Wikipedia-and-the-nature-of-truth/2010-1025_3-5979331.html
