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)
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)
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)
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)

I would like to ask you to take another look at the Herbie Redmond that you rated as a stub today. While it may not be perfect, it truly surpised me to see it rated a stub. It may not be that relevant to the Alabama Wiki Project,as he gained his fame in Detroit, but that would only affect the importance rating and should not result in it being considered a stub. Anyway, if you wouldn't mind taking another look and reconsidering, I'd appreciate it. Cbl62 ( talk) 03:28, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on ST Mobile Aerospace Engineering requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's 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.

It is from an 1895 Architectural Digest. I am unsure, however, of the copyright status of such a picture. Would you know? The photographer was Frank H. Child and the photo comes from a larger set of 5 - 6 pictures, two of which are on the LOC American Memory (the ballroom and a grand hall). A lot of it seems to be in the public domain, but I am not sure. I have some privately owned colour photos of Belcourt that I took when I spent a weekend there, but they are of a facade which has much changed since Alva's time and it doesn't have the same "feeling" as the vintage photos, if you know what I mean. I have no issues with uploading those photos, but I would prefer the black and white photo from 1895 because it's rather beautiful and from the era. Charles 09:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey there Altairisfar. You seem to take some interest in the Carpenter Gothic article. I am curious to your thinking on your picture editing on the article. The first image is tilted and has telephone or electric cable running through it. The third image, being brick, is stylistically related but atypical of the style. The American Gothic House is both prototypical and quintessential. I will also post this on the article Carpenter Gothic discussion page, which is probably where the discussion should unfold. Thanks.

Interested in ports-related articles? | ||
I notice you recently made major improvements to the Port of Mobile article, and I thought you may be interested to know there is a WikiProject working to improve articles about port-related topics. Your help would be greatly appreciated on similar articles (especially other US east-coast and gulf ports, which need a fair bit of work) so please consider joining WikiProject Ports. |
You have been 1 granted with the rollback permission on the basis of your recent effort on dealing with vandalism. The rollback is a revert tool which can lessens the strains that normal javascripts such as twinkle put on the Wikipedia servers. You will find that you will revert faster through the rollback than through the normal reversion tools such as javascripts and the undo feature, because the rollback feature does not require fetching the data from the page history and then sending article data back to the Wikipedia server as the javascript requires, therefore you could save time especially when reverting very large articles such as the George W. Bush page. To use it, simply click the link which should look like [rollback] (which should appear unbolded if you have twinkle installed) on the lastest diff page. The rollback link will also appear on the history page beside the edit summary of the lastest edit. For more information, you may refer to this page, alternatively, you may also find this tutorial on rollback helpful. Yamamoto Ichiro 会話 02:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

HI Altairisfar -- Got your note back in response to my posting at Talk:Trinity Episcopal Church (Mobile, Alabama). I was not aware of the development of the Richard Upjohn article, but I do see now that you have improved it greatly. It is looking good. Very gratifying to see development, on an article that I had visited and contributed to just a little, a while back. I find the ties of common architecture between New York State properties and Alabama properties to be very interesting, personally.
About Faunsdale Plantation being part of an MPS. For MPS's each property gets a separate refnum and is on its own a regular NRHP or an HD. Actually Faunsdale may be an HD on its own. But the MPS as a group is not an HD. I do think there should be mention of the MPS, and a way for readers to navigate to other properties in the MPS if they are interested. I noticed no MPS mention in the NRHP infobox for Faunsdale, while you had said it was in an MPS. So I used the Elkman NRHP infobox generator to see what it reported for Faunsdale, and in fact it includes an MPS line. So I copied that line in, and further made it into a wikilink, and further went and started (minimally) an article on the MPS. The MPS article could mostly just be a listing of the members of the MPS. With development of the MPS article, I think that is then the correct treatment for Faunsdale. You're doing great work! cheers, doncram ( talk) 07:29, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Are you familiar with the cobbled or bricked streets once used in downtown Mobile? I was down along the docks the other day and saw some places where the bricks are still visible beneath the cracking asphalt. I would guess there is some historic value there and probably an article modification or creation. However I have never seen any reliable information about the streets. They may link to Fort Conde but I am not sure. I can grab some images if you have any ideas about where to find some information. JodyB talk 19:02, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I notice that you tagged the page Image:Davids.jpg for speedy deletion with the reason "a file other than an image, audio, or video file, which is not used in any articles and has no encyclopedic use". While that's a valid reason for speedy deletion in general, this page does not qualify for speedy deletion under that criterion because it is an image file; this criterion only applies to files like PDFs. If you still want the page to be deleted, please consider tagging it with a speedy deletion template which does apply, redirecting it to another page, or using the WP:IFD process. Thanks!

Not sure why you would have deleted the Middlesex Lodge website. It was not using copywritten information with out permission, I felt that it was an unbiased factual history of the lodge and it was not there as an advertisement. I truly believe that this lodge is an important lodge in the history of Massachussetts lodges as it was one of the first chartered lodges in Mass by then grand master Paul Revere. Since this is my first attempt to submit an article and I can't see that I had done anything wrong could you explain your actions to me? Middlesexlodge ( talk) 03:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC) Adam / user middlesex lodge
I had published this article about Middlesex lodge feeling that it is 1. interesting and 2. of historical significance. I have had no less than three moderators tell me that the article was a conflict of interest, copyright infringement and/or blatant advertising. I have read and re-read the policies and I honestly can't see how any of these apply. This is my first article on wikipedia and I really just want to be able to make a useful contribution.
P.S. sorry about the multiple posts, my computer was acting up a bit there.

Granted I am a member but that by itself according to the policy is not reason for coi. Under the Coi page it does say that it is strongly discouraged due to unintentional biases and self promotion. And while this makes perfect sense to me I think that it is possible that none of you read a word of that article. The article contains no opinion and is simply a historical recount of 200 year history of the lodge. If the inclusion of an external link is reason enough for a deletion that would be easy to fix. If there is something specific that I am missing other than the fact that I am member of the lodge please, please tell me...Thank you again for your help on this...

I hope this is helpful, I know from personal experience that it is frustrating to attempt to comply with rules that you didn't know existed.

Hi Altairisfar, thanks for the nice note to my talk page. Very interesting thoughts, and neat pics at the Elm Bluff commons page. Even if the Elm Bluff place seems not notable enough for a separate wikipedia article, couldn't it be described (and the commons link included, etc.) in the wikipedia article for NRHP-listed LaTourette House in New York (currently a red-link)?

Sorry for the late response, I see you found the info on Gorgas. I respect the plagerism thing, the book was quoting the actual diaries, which I referenced.
I am very much a fanatic on correct info. Having owned Thornhill for 45 years and being a decendent, I am amazed at all the inaccuracies in the various publications- "Silent in the Lamb" has 5 inaccuracies in a very short article, as does "Historic Homes of Alabama", and "Mansions of Alabama", although "Mansions of Alabama" by Ralph Hammond is by far the best book on the house. Hammond said in the book that Thornton's second wife was his childhood sweetheart, when in fact she was born twelve years after he was. Hard to imagine that they were childhood sweethards when he was almost a teenager when she was born. "Historic Homes of Alabama" has Thornhill as the home of William Thornton, pretty big mistake.

Just a minor thing on Rosemount. I believe the DeVesci family bought the house from a Mrs. Glover Legrae in the thirties or forties. My grandfather bought the house and 100 acres in the mid 1950s at auction (Brockway Jackson from Eutaw) and sold to Joe Simpson (prominent family from Birmingham) a couple of years later. He sold to Joyce Gravit (sp) around 1970, she sold to David Mitchell (from Georgia) in the mid 1970s, he sold to Marty Lyons (UA, NY Jets) in the 1980s who sold to the present owner around 1990. I didn't want to put this in because the dates are not exact and the DeVesci info is not for certain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thornhillplantation ( talk • contribs)

I looked up Isurus mantelli in the paleobiology database, and the results came up that that species is nomen dubium. So it appears that the taxonomy of Isurus mantelli is questionable. From what I can see in Kent's book(I can't locate much know, as I am in a hotel for the Tucson show), Isurus mantelli appears to be very similar to a broad-form Isurus hastalis, formerly known as Isurus xiphodon. I can look it up further once I get back home on the 19th. -- Spotty11222 ( talk) 16:24, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Just to let you know, i am a bit hurt by just now coming across your comment at Reywas92, from this edit, which seems to refer to me as the sole problem in an FLC. Indeed, I do have difficulty compromising with some FL reviewers and I don't disagree with your perspective in a summary way, but still your comment seems a bit unfair. In the context of me having done a lot on the AL NHL articles, too. In particular about what u said, revisiting the FLC, I think that Sephiroth_BCR's participation in the AL NHL FLC was abrasive or worse, and Orlady's participation there also was difficult (in light of her previous participation in the PR and FLC for the List of NHLs in NY). Certainly my participation in the AL NHL discussion may have brought in trouble, in particular attracted Orlady's attention there. I remain troubled by what has gone on, and frustrated by the prospect that getting the NY list to FL status seems unlikely, despite it being clearly among Wikipedia's best works, IMHO. doncram ( talk) 19:04, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for a great collaboration - you really deserve this after all the work you did to take photographs and find out the heights of those buildings. Cheers! Rai• me 14:45, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I came across Furman Historic District and Furman, Alabama, and they look like they're talking about the same place. Since you created both articles, can you clarify how the boundaries of these two places are related? Are they distinctive enough for two full-fledged articles? Thanks. -- Polaron | Talk 22:41, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Would you please visit the discussion page for Troy King, the Attorney General. I have been working to keep this page up to date but there is someone who feels that his page should include the name of an employee in his office that was mentioned in an article about salaries. I don't see the added value and I think that the rules surrounding living biographical inclusion says to err on the side of privacy. Since this person is not the subject of the biography and not an elected official, but rather only a state employee I am concerned that including such name could unfairly harm them. Furthermore there have been numerous rumors people have attempted to add to his page, some of which include references to this person. I feel that the determined inclusion of said employees name is a way to attach this stigma since the posting of the rumors have otherwise been disallowed. Please visit the page and offer your direction. Gray10k ( talk) 02:25, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
No, I won't — because I don't know which ones you mean :-) Would you give me links for the ones you're talking about? Nyttend ( talk) 14:13, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
I noticed that you had nominated two middle schools for deletion. Usually articles about non-notable middle or elementary schools are merged into the article about their school district or their locality if there is no article about the school district. High schools are generally considered notable, even without references. Individual middle or elementary schools can be notable if they have won an award or qualify under the general notability guideline. You may wish to review the discussions about school articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Schools/archive and more recent discussions at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Schools In light of this, please consider withdrawing the nominations of the two middle schools. - Eastmain ( talk) 05:08, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for cleaning up many of the listings for museums in AL and adding in all the regions. However, some of your changes make the article very inconsistent with other lists of museums in other states. In particular, in the Type column, the convention has been to define museums differently, i.e. Natural history, instead of History - natural. This is also true for ethnic museums, like Native American and African American, living museum and historic house museum. Most of these types of museums have their own museum categories. See Category:Museums by type. I suggest using this convention.
Thanks. It would be great to have actual articles for all the larger museums in each state. If you do create new articles, please remove the website listing from the List of museums, so that the actual website is on the article page. This is to minimize the issue of updating links everywhere. I see that needs to be done for some existing museums on the list now. Also, articles on museums should be included in their city or county, and they may fall into several museum type categories. Jllm06 ( talk) 23:02, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
