For information on photos which I have uploaded, have yet to upload, or if you have any requests, you may wish to visit my userpage at Wikipedia Commons.

Please do not contact me via email. Instead, I prefer that you post messages to the bottom of my talk page.
I get a lot of emails everyday and yours may be lost in the midst of them or may inadvertently find its way into the spam folder. Additionally, posting here ensures that I will at some point have to respond. Via email, I can just delete it and ignore you should you ask me a question I do not wish to answer due to laziness, lack of knowledge, or lack of will to think enough to answer your question (which is really just laziness); whereas by posting to this page it'll show up in my Talk History if I am being negligent :) Sláinte! --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 04:09, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Results of Italian abroad

Hey Ho!
I've occasionally found results we talked about --> Dato estero. So, if you have time and will you can add them to Wikipedia.

I realize afterward, they are not complete but majority of them are here.

[edit] Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania

Hello! I noticed the message you posted in 2006 on the discussion page for Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania (the borough in Westmoreland County). I have taken you up on your challenge - better late than never - to write about the town's history. I hope you like the end result. I am originally from Latrobe, nearby, and I had never heard of the Morehead Massacre. Now I am better informed! However, the events at Morehead actually occurred outside the municipal limits of Mount Pleasant borough, and with that in mind, I limited the coverage of that labor conflict to a sentence.

I have also added to the histories of Ligonier and Calumet-Norvelt. I'll try to do more. Canadian2006 (talk) 21:43, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Well done! Thanks! --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 23:01, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your images

Hi, your Commons user pages says you'd like to be informed about the use of your images. I was able to use some of them at Kramgasse and Gerechtigkeitsgasse. Many thanks!  Sandstein  22:26, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks; and great work with those articles! --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 23:01, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Beach Haven, NJ

Hi, I noticed you edited some of my posts and commented that you took out some untrue statements. Just curious which statements you thought were untrue? Thanks, Adelmang (talk) 22:19, 6 June 2008 (UTC)Adelmang

Sure thing: not all side-streets end at a beach. As for the parking issue: that's more a POV thing, but I've never had problems finding parking. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 01:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Southern Hypocrisy

"I think it's a bit rich that we're defining Maryland as "Southern" on this page. That to me seems to be a fairly radical reworking of the demographics, economics, politics, and geography of the region, particularly for an encyclopedia that says it is not a database for "original research."

I for one actually am a Southerner and find this classification to be not only inaccurate but borderline insulting; Maryland shares very little in common with the rest of the South, and I speak from the perspective not of a Texan, Floridian, or South Carolinian, but rather as a Virginian.

This really, really bothers me. From a cultural perspective (rates of church attendance, religious identification, household income, voting tendencies, music, cuisine, etc) it just doesn't make sense."

This coming from someone who uses their own subjective views to state what they believe, yet criticizing others for supposedly doing the same thing. I'm really sick of people using outdated Civil War politics to determine what is "Northern" & "Southern". Sounds like a lot of people need a crash course in 2008.

"Borderline insulted" and such? Good lord, take a chill pill. It isn't that serious. If you knew anything about Maryland, which you obviously don't, you know that it shares many similarities with both the(historic) North & South. I guess in your clearly limited Virginian view of the world, every Southerner is a poor, gun-toting, bible-thumping, Confederate-loving, Republican-voting, country bumpkin with a country accent to boot.

Oh and you lost all credibility when you said you were a Virginian. Southern-like in history(just like Maryland)it is, but is becoming a hybrid, just like Florida(!!), Texas(!!), & everywhere else in the country. In fact, if you wanna get really technical, a strictly defined North & South, etc. doesn't exist anymore. to really segregate the regions of the US in this day in age, it would be urban/suburban vs. exurban/rural. With so much relocating and redefining of boundary lines, how can you possibly say one is "this" and the other is "that"?

A REAL Southerner(not one who defines it as an old government that was defeated over 130 years ago) would know that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.244.19.51 (talk) 00:01, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm Virginian? I care? Keep this in the proper forums. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 01:02, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
