[edit] AfD nomination of List of buildings in Lower Manhattan

An editor has nominated List of buildings in Lower Manhattan, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of buildings in Lower Manhattan and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 16:44, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I was going to close it as delete, but I wanted to know if you wanted to put it in your userspace and make it a category. Please respond on my talk page. Regards, J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 04:17, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I did copy the text to my userspace at User:ChrisRuvolo/List of buildings in Lower Manhattan. Perhaps you can make it a move in order to preserve the edit history? I'll categorize later. Thanks for your help. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 18:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

As in move to Category:Buildings in Lower Manhattan? I'll wait for your reponse until I close it. J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 18:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

No, as in do a move, moving List of buildings in Lower Manhattan with history on top of my copy at User:ChrisRuvolo/List of buildings in Lower Manhattan. The GFDL says that the edit history must be preserved. Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 14:17, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Mmm, I'm going to ask a more experienced admin to do that. It was already deleted, but I'll talk to another admin. J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 16:25, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, I took care of it. J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 16:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to interrupt. Sorry I closed without moving, but I didn't see this request. I also followed up and deleted the cross-namespace redirect created by the move when I happened on it today. Pastordavid (talk) 16:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks to you both. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 17:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why did you tag Kate Atkinson Boehme?

I noticed that you recently tagged the Kate Atkinson Boehme article for non-notability. Why did you do that? She was a well-known and well-respected New Thought writer of her era and at least some of her books are still in print, 100 years after their first publication.

I think it is always better to add data to Wikipedia than to suggest taking an article away.

I suggest that in the future instead of tagging a stub about a long-deceased author as non-notabile that you do a simple amazon search on the author, pick up the status of any current in-print books and current ISBNs and add same to the author's article. That's what i just did. And then i removed your spurious non-notability tag.

cat yronwode Catherineyronwode (talk) 04:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I tagged the Kate Atkinson Boehme article with {{importance}} because it does not explain her importance. That label suggests improvement, not deletion. What I would suggest is adding information about what her writing introduced or meant to the field. What did her contemporaries think about it? And what do modern writers have to say about her conclusions? How did she shape thought in her field? Thats the kind of information that is needed to explain her importance and the importance of her writings. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 15:05, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I have added more about her philosphy and the general content of her books, and also listed two more book titles by her. I have no biographical information on her but, due to the "Atkinson" name, i have always wondered what -- if any -- relatioship she had to William Walker Atkinson, another New Thought writer. Both of them worked for Elizabeth Towne, but i have found no record of them ever living in the same place at the same time. As for what her contemporaries thought of her -- well, i could quote Elizabeth Towne, i suppose, but i don't have time to pull down my old Nautilus mgazines and copy such stuff out. She certainly was regarded well in her time, but if i wrote that in so many words, someone would put a cite tag on it, so i'd rather just let the fact that her work remains in print speak for her popularity, since the current ISBNs function as citations for that. cat yronwode Catherineyronwode (talk) 09:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Looks much better. Nice work. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 12:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the laugh.

Miltary-Boy Scout-Industrial Complex. Thats the funniest thing I've read on here in a while. Hope this returns the favor. :) --ChrisRuvolo (t) 19:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I was offended by the sinister implication that all of us folks from New Jersey have gathered together to defame a real American hero. I couldn't help but use the line, once it popped into my head, and it reminds me of the bit from the Austin Powers movies, where Frau Farbissina is introduced as the founder of the militant wing of the Salvation Army. Your userbox is a classic, and I am thinking of adding it to my user page, even though I am particularly deadset against using the darn things. It's good to know that someone is reading the article's talk page, and I am still trying to come up with a text that will satisfy the bourgeois lackeys of the Military-Boy Scout-Industrial Complex who should really be spending their time more productively at the factories where they construct their plutonium-powered merit badges. It's always a pleasure to cross paths. Alansohn (talk) 20:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template

Hi Chris, would you consider deleting this userbox? It's not in the best of taste, disparages our processes and seems to be an attack on another group of editors (consider how such a userbox would make the NJ Project members feel if something similar were directed at their group. Also, comments like these are uncivil. Thanks. Dreadstar † 05:37, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps it is in poor taste, but it was created out of frustration that information is being excluded contrary to policy. And there is nothing tangible that I can do about it since the people excluding that info are admins. So since I'm just a powerless peon, the only thing I can do is make others aware of this dispute. That is what this userbox is for. Also, I don't see how saying that someone else's joke was funny is uncivil. But, that all said, I'm a reasonable guy (and a peon), so if you still recommend that the template be removed, I'll do so. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 13:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Chris! I went ahead and deleted it for you, your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated.

As for the admins in the Coker dispute, none of them have used their Admin tools in the dispute, their actions are the same as any other editor. And yes, Alansohn's comments at the end of that post are definitely uncivil, and actually may even cross the line into a personal attack for insulting and disparaging other editors.

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:NBC logo.svg)

Thanks for uploading Image:NBC logo.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 15:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. Replaced in NBC and NBC logos articles. The image that it was being replaced with had no source information. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 21:04, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] STOP VANDALIZING NBC!

The source of the NBC logos I have uploaded is the NBC Logo Legal Usage Guidelines. It is an internal NBC document. I provided source information, it is from an official source unlike the ones you posted from a dodgy Russian website. STOP YOUR VANDALISM!!!! Hopefully, this should satisfy you. --Also We Brief (talk) 20:50, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

You have not provided a verifiable source for this logo. Please specify an ISBN, URL or some other way to obtain this source document. See WP:NONFREE and WP:CITE --ChrisRuvolo (t) 02:56, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

You want a URL, here is your stinking URL: [2] --Also We Brief (talk) 03:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Campbell's Soup Cans

Since when doesn't a city care about its art. I thought Big Apple folks were cultured. Are you speaking as a member of WP:NYC that your project does not care about its important artworks. I run WP:CHICAGO and we care about ours. Meet me at the talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Symantec.svg

A tag has been placed on Image:Symantec.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Gary King (talk) 20:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Okay, I'll create a new map.

Yeah, I'm not an expert on copyright law, but thanks for your map. It's much larger so the map will fit better with the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jps57‎ (talk • contribs)

[edit] Proposal to remove claims of alleged controversy about Raritan Valley

Thanks for your past contributions to the article Central Jersey.
