[edit] Welcome to Wiki!

Hello Blauwkoe, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

One of the more important ways you can help Wikipedia is by cleaning up articles in the cleanup backlog.

If you need any help, see the help pages and glossary, add a question to the help desk, or ask me on my talk page. You may also find me on my personal blog or xMule's website.

I hope you will enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Good luck! — HopeSeekr of xMule

[edit] Image Tagging Image:GJohnsonMap Burnetts.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:GJohnsonMap Burnetts.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Hunter 16:41, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for expanding Bill Monroe

Thanks for adding more stuff in Bill Monroe. I really wanted to have special mentions on the Martin-Lyle and Rowan-Greene-Grier-James Monroe line-ups. I'd add a mention on the influence of his manager Ralph Rinzler, but I tend to be busy even during weekends and might not get around to it quickly. If you want to write it up before I do, please go ahead. --Lazybum 15:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Keith style

What was the reason for your removing of the reference to the Keith style of banjo playing from the Bill Monroe article? --Lazybum 22:06, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Response re: Keith style

Thanks for asking -- my fingers slipped before I had completed my comment and I could not figure out how to edit it! Anyway, there is a link to Keith which the user can click, and in the Keith article is all the info. about Keith style. That's where it belongs, not in the article on Monroe. His time with Monroe was not relevant to his development of Keith style. Now, if you want to say that Monroe hired him *because* Monroe wanted to show up Flatt & Scruggs and show that Scruggs-style was not intrinsic to BG... then go ahead! I know some people believe this but I am not sure it is documentable. I.e. it's a question of the article's point of view. The Monroe article is from his point of view, not Keith's.

An interesting side note is that Keith has said that the longer he worked with Monroe the more he got away from "Keith" style and more back into Scruggs style, it just seemed to fit better. You can also hear the discrepency between styles on Salt Creek and Sailor's Hornpipe -- Baker can not play melodically and the two styles sound dissonant.

[edit] Line of Property

I'm interested in what your source was for the Actual Line section of the Line of Property article. Was it all from the 1850 E.B. O'Callaghan book? In particular, I was interested in the fact that the line followed Beaver Creek and not the present Unadilla River from the creek's mouth on up -- just looking for a reliable non-Wikipedia source to quote when using this information. —— Nonenmac 18:12, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Response re: Line of Property

It is interpretation from the maps, and especially if you try to draw a line from the known end point west of Rome through the known monument on the Hamilton College campus, and see where it intersects the upper Unadilla drainage.. Beaver Creek is equal size to the named upper Unadilla and farther west, so that fits also. You can also see the current property orientation in the Marshal, NY area between these points. The O'Callaghan book does not state this explicitly, it only gives the verbal descriptions.

You've hit on the fact that much of this section is interpretation from various evidence. You'll find similar in the Prevention Line article. I suppose this should be out of Wikipedia by strict guidelines. Probably the Oneida County and Madison County land records should be consulted.

[edit] Ithaca-Auburn Shortline

Just saw your update. Glad to see someone else is watching this. I have some other pictures of the ROW in that area, but none as scenic and Wikipedia-worthy, IMO. By the way, were you aware that your Pennsylvania & Sodus Bay pictures have disappeared? Choess (talk) 01:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Response: someone had hijacked my pages and copied them elsewhere, you must have found the wrong ones when searching. I've corrected the link in Wikipedia.
