Re: Image:Wells Fargo Bank Plaza, Houston, from base.jpg

I've repeatedly cleared my cache, but the image still shows up correctly for me. A screenshot in context. Could you please provide a screenshot, or try again? Everything indicates that the image is fine. —UED77 23:42, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Galveston Island

Hey! Just wanted to take a second to compliment you on the article. I made one minor change -- San Luis Pass doesn't have any road access to the mainland; if you want to get to the mainland over the pass you have to take a ferry (hence all the signs along San Luis Pass road screaming "NOT A HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTE!"). The causeway actually drops folks off on the west side of the island near the Strand, wharf etc. Best · Katefan0^(scribble)/mrp 01:20, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Regarding districts

There is such a thing as the "Toyota Center District". But maybe that could lead to the Toyota Center article? WhisperToMe 06:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

LOL, I didn't know there was such a district. I did a search on Yahoo and I couldn't find anythign on it. RJN 07:12, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Regarding more appropriate link

A long standing link was removed. (downtownhouston.com) The link that was added (downtownhouston.org) represents the quasi-governmental dealings of the Downtown Management District. Downtownhouston.com is open to citizen/community involvement in that it offers users a forum to interact in and share information. For this and many other reasons I believe that it is relevant and should be added back to the list of external links.

Los Angeles, California

Hi RJN. Would you mind summarizing your changes to Los Angeles, California on its talk page? Thanks in advance. Mike Dillon 22:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

City Infoboxes

I don't appreciate your attitude about "non-Texas" people. This is a wiki. Anyone can edit. My changes to the infobox are trying to improve the look of the infobox overall. It looks absolutely terrible with the image above the infobx and the image does not line up properly with the infobox. That is why we made it possible to place the image inside the infobox. And no, I do not use IE. Dr. Cash 04:31, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Well for someone with a Ph.D., you are quite immature to be engaging in an edit war with me over Texas articles and calling me "dumb." Don't you have anything better to do than going around city articles and forcing your personal preferences? RJN 04:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

In accordance with what Dr. Cash said, the kind of statement you made in your latest edit summary on the Houston, Texas page is not acceptable (see Wikipedia:Civility). The same goes for your above statement. Realize that anyone is allowed to edit a page, regardless of where they live and where they have been. That is exactly why each edit page at the bottom says If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it. About the image in question, I also agree with Dr. Cash. I'm not sure why you prefer it outside the infobox; it belongs inside the infobox. joturner 04:42, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I created a Houston infobox image:{{User Houston}}

User info boxes

Is there a list of the boxes I find on the right-hand side of user pages? (such as "This user lives in or hails from Houston.") I've taken to using a few I've found that I like from other people's pages (yours is where I found them first), but I figure there has to be a list somewhere. :) Wesmills 05:55, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

University of Houston

Hello! We've had a request for help on this article over at the Mediation Cabal. I've made an entry on the article talk page explaining things a bit, also you can check theMedCab Case page and add your own comments there. However, I encourage you to keep working at it on the article's talk page. If you want to contact me you can do it on my talk page, there's some other contact methods on there as well. Let me know how I can be of help. --Wgfinley 01:56, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
