Mobile

Hi there Jeff, I appreciate the great work you are doing on Mobile. I live across the bay from you in Daphne, also attended the UA and am a Registered Nurse. There are a couple of us around here. Let's all get together and have coffee one day. --JodyB yak, yak, yak 15:05, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

That sounds great Jody, anytime.Altairisfar 16:41, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Langan (Municipal) Park

As a native Mobilian, I too thank you for what you have done here. That said, I'm not sure Langan would survive a Notability challenge. Unlike some of the other articles you created for Mobile, Municipal park simply doesn't have the historical baggage. --Donovan Ravenhull 01:09, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate it. I think you're correct, I doubt that it would survive a notability challenge. But, among most people that I've talked with about parks here in Mobile it's usually the first or second one that they name as a city park, right along with Bienville. That's my main reason for starting the article. I thought Bienville notable, Cathedral much less so but a very used and interesting park. I would like to see an article for Washington Square too, but haven't found much reference material yet and most Mobilians don't seem to realize it's there. (I myself live in Midtown at the Loop, so I've been more exposed I guess) I also think Spanish Plaza is interesting even though it is modern, as is British Park. What do you think? Send more of your input my way anytime you feel like it.Altairisfar 05:18, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

User:Your Username/Userboxes/Mobile

It looks like you made a little mistake when creating this, so it ended up in the default (wrong) location. That's not a big deal; unfortunately, that page seems to set up to encourage such problems. I went ahead and moved it to User:Altairisfar/Userboxes/Mobile 2, since you have another Mobile userbox. If you feel one or the other is redundant, you can mark it for deletion by adding Template:db-author to the top of the page. Otherwise, it's fine to host two similar userboxes like that if you wish to. If you have any questions about what I've done, feel free to ask. — Gavia immer (talk) 13:55, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Church Street Graveyard (Mobile, Alabama)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Church Street Graveyard (Mobile, Alabama), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Church Street Graveyard. 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. This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 00:35, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Church Street Graveyard

This is not the right way to move an article. On that note, I'm not sure why you're trying to move it. There is no other Wikipedia article with a similar name (or is there one I don't know of?). In this case, there is no reason to move it to a more specific title. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Never had the occasion to move one before, should have named it correctly when I created the article in the first place since there are several Church Street Cemeteries around the U.S., though you are correct that there aren't any yet on Wikipedia. Altairisfar (talk) 00:58, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
If you need to move it in the future, you can file a request here. You could also do that now, and turn the original link into a dab page with a listing of the other Chruch Street Cemeteries (once the page gets moved, that is). Someguy1221 (talk) 01:04, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
I feel like an idiot, the correct tools were in front of my face the entire time. I'm going to put this one down to my hair color or to my one track mind! Altairisfar (talk) 01:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Mobile

I've got to say again, thanks for all your efforts regarding the Mobile article. What areas are still considered 'problems' for possible GA status? And how may I, a Mobile native, help? --Donovan Ravenhull (talk) 10:31, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Mobile, Alabama

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Mobile, Alabama you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 4 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. — Rudget contributions 15:36, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

You'll be very happy to hear that I have passed the article you nominated, Mobile, Alabama. See the talk page for the eventual comments that were made. Well done. Best, — Rudget contributions 17:45, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm glad I had the oppurtunity to review it! :) — Rudget contributions 19:12, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject LGBT studies!

Hi, Altairisfar, welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies!

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles of interest to the LGBT community. Some points that may be helpful:

  • Our main aim is to help improve LGBT-related articles, so if someone asks for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
  • Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
  • The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, peer review and a project-wide article collaboration, all of which you are welcome to take part in. We also have a unique program to improve our lower quality articles, Jumpaclass, so please consider signing up there.
  • If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign LGBT topics.
  • If you're planning to stay, have a square in our quilt! You can put anything you want in it.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again - Welcome!

Altairisfar - this is the same person who made the edits to the Portland, OR climate section. Those edits are correct, and I am glad to see that somebody else has put them back after you decided to delete them. Please do not delete facts that you have no knowledge of (i.e Portland, OR climate). I will likewise refrain from making edits to things I am not sure about, as was the case when I made the edits to the Mobile photo captions. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PDXman31 (talk • contribs) 06:40, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Are you 12.183.80.20? Check the revision history of Portland, Oregon. I've never reverted or even edited that page. I checked your edits to that page and left them as they were. You made a constructive edit there. As for the Mobile, Alabama, you changed three dates that were in the 1800s to a date in the 1900s, obvious vandalism of a page. And thanks for publicly identifying yourself,PDXman31, as the vandal. -Altairisfar (talk) 06:53, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I am the same person who was on 12.183.80.20. That's the company IP and I was in the office catching up on things and ended up wandering through Wikipedia, I'm sure you know how that goes. I also just created the login PDXman31 in the last hour, never used one before. Does that clear it up?
As far as the Mobile, AL revisions - when I saw the captions the first thing that jumped out at me was that it appeared the photos were taken in the (year) given. Cameras weren't around in the 1830's, so it appeared the photo dates should have been 1930's (and that somebody had vandalized them to show the 1830's). That's why I changed them. In retrospect, those are the years of those buildings being built and not the photo years. It makes sense now, but it was confusing at first glance. I also know now that you can trace the edit history by clicking the "history" tab, I never bothered with that before. Also, the Portland, OR climate edits that I made were reverted (or so it appeared since the old information came back), before my edits appeared again. I thought it was you reverting them since you saw my IP and thought I was "vandalizing" things again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PDXman31 (talk • contribs) 07:15, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
In that case, I really do apologize but please understand that I am also a vandalism patroller and people sneak little things like that into articles all of the time. I know that Wikipedia is way more confusing than neccessary sometimes, I'll try to rectify the date situation on that page so that it's clear. This talk page will serve to prove that you are not a vandal. Sorry, and BTW, I do have personal knowledge of Portland, it's an awesome city. -Altairisfar (talk) 07:24, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
I also added a clarification to User talk:12.183.80.20 to reflect this conversation. -Altairisfar (talk) 07:40, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

No worries. I know about the history button now so I can check to see what's going on. Thanks for adding that clarification also.—Preceding unsigned comment added by PDXman31 (talk • contribs)

No problem, and sorry to have "bitten your head off", I spent nearly 4 months writing the Mobile, Alabama article, so I am a little touchy about vandalism(or, in your case, my perceived vandalism) to it in particular. Happy editing..... -Altairisfar (talk) 08:02, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
