Kinzua

The Kinzua Bridge article looks really good. How about, DYK...that Kinzua Bridge in Pennsylvania at Kinzua Bridge State Park was the world's largest and tallest railroad bridge at the time of its construction in 1882? This hook might be a little too long. Ruhrfisch always has good ideas for DYK. I would suggest running it by him. Dincher 21:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

• Sounds good - I made two copyedits to the verion above (remove ' and add ?). Here is a slightly shorter version: DYK...that Pennsylvania's Kinzua Bridge was the world's largest and tallest railroad bridge when it was built in 1882 and now its ruins are a state park? Pick whichever you think better and good luck, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:13, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
  • No, the state park was established in 1970, long before it fell. How about: DYK...that Pennsylvania's Kinzua Bridge was the world's largest and tallest railroad bridge when built in 1882, became a state park in 1970, and was knocked down by a tornado in 2003? I think that was the year? Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:46, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
    • I think that the final DYK suggestion is the best. Very good. Dincher 04:16, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
      • The DCNR page says the park was opened in 1970 (not 1980), so I will change the list date (and changed it above and in the nomination). I added a bit about the park to the bridge article as all things mentioned in the hook must be in the article. I also played with the pictures a bit. Good luck on the DYK nom and thanks, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 16:29, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
        • Woohoo! Congrats on the DYK and the coveted first slot too! Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 17:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
        • Congrats! Dincher 21:09, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

An article which you started, or significantly expanded, Kinzua Bridge, was selected for DYK!

On October 10, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Kinzua Bridge, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks for your contributions! Nishkid64 (talk) 16:16, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Mayors et al

Thanks for the heads up on the mayors and burgesses merger. I've lost most of my Wiki battles to preserve detail. I'm wondering if people want Wiki to represent their worldview and not attempt to place people back in history. Airport and former airlines are excellent examples of what I mean. Try to find out which airports Eastern Airlines served, or which former airlines served a particular airport. Look at the history of Erie Intl Airport's page to see how quickly any evidence of Delta's former service there was removed. We only want to know today's airports, something you can find on any airport website. We've systematically removed all historical information about the relative size and reach of airports, abandoning a Wiki rich in history for Wiki Yellow Pages. It's maddening to me. I offered my two cents on the mayors, but I'll be content however it turns out. --Pat 23:18, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I guess I'm a hopeless inclusionist in a world of deletionists. --Pat 04:36, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

You can replace your User:Dtbohrer/Navimage with just {{rpotd}} and it will show the image you want. - Presidentman (talk) Random Picture of the Day 20:59, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I thought you just wanted RPOTD images. Sorry. - Presidentman (talk) Random Picture of the Day 21:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Imperial triple crown jewels

I, Durova, am pleased to award these imperial triple crown jewels to Dtbohrer for outstanding contributions to Wikipedia's coverage of Pennsylvania. Thank you for building a better encyclopedia. Durova^Charge! 05:23, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Your Imperial Majesty, I wasn't aware that Pennsylvania had covered bridges. Maybe I did a jigsaw puzzle of that one years ago? Great work! Durova^Charge! 05:24, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for supporting my RFA

	Thanks for your support, my request for adminship passed 62/0/0 yesterday! I want to thank Snowolf and Dincher for nominating me, those who updated the RfA tally, and everyone for their support and many kind words. I will do my best to use the new tools carefully and responsibly (and since you are reading this, I haven't yet deleted your talk page by accident!). Please let me know if there is anything I can do to be of assistance, and keep an eye out for a little green fish with a mop on the road to an even better encyclopedia. Thanks again and take care, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:39, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

PS Thanks too for your kind words on my talk page - hope we can work together on more articles, maybe Erie Bluffs State Park can be a GA someday? Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 18:00, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Erie county flag.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Erie county flag.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Thanks for the pickle - I hung it on the tree, but it is on the back so you might not be able to see it (go the other side of your computer and look from that angle ;-) ) Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 05:00, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Curtze Article

I just submitted it to Did You Know? I expect some back and forth on the write up, and possibly rejection, but it will be a learning experience. Thanks for the suggestion. --Pat (talk) 22:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I revised the first alternative to include his post at the Bureau of Ships. It looks promising. --Pat (talk) 23:14, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
