What's up? How's college going? Ok, I'm confused; so the 102d is an intelligence wing, and their main squadron is an air operations squadron - who the heck thought that up? Sorry for my squirrely attitude today - most intel wings/groups have intel squadrons under them. Is the 101 AOS primed to backfill Air Operations Center duties somewhere or ???

Before you unilaterally empty ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Rapists if its contents, you should be aware of this recent decision. It's certainly OK to create "convicted of rape" categories for those who were indeed convicted of rape, but there are some in these categories who were not convicted of rape, so the ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Rapists categories would presumably be parent categories of the ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:People convicted of rape categories just as ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Murderers is a parent of ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:People convicted of murder. Once the "convicted of" categories are established the deletion of the "rapists" categories could be reconsidered, but they shouldn't be unilaterally obliterated.

FYI - I think you typed an extra tilde in your sig - [2]. 7 04:34, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Holy block of text batman! Let me break this up and answer a point at a time:
I was reading over your site, when I noticed some things that might be of interest to you. You mentioned the age of the Pawtucket Street bridge over the canal. From what I read on the state website, the bridge was built in 1919. This is a great thing to know since I use the bridge every single day.
From what I read on old maps, University Avenue Bridge was also known as the Textile Avenue Bridge.
On the second page, the building on King Street was torn down and there is now a rubble parking lot. We had a parade down there last Saturday and we offloaded there.
On the second page, you mention the Freudenburg building, but you don't have a photo of it.
From what it looks like, the pictures on page three might be part of the original canal system. This makes sense since all the structures are removed, but they don't resemble the modern canal locks. They also are part of a narrower canal system which better resembles the Middlesex Canal.
For page 5, do you have a picture of where your father's church sat and the one which you belonged to?
How old are the brick and mortar projects around the Acre as they resemble factory housing, but they also seem to be an imitation per se.
On page six, you might want to mention that the School Street Bridge has been replaced as that might confuse a few people.
A good incident with the Spaghettiville bridge involved me getting lost in Lowell thinking that I was going towards Cawley Stadium when I was actually going towards Chelmsford. Needless to say, I got there, but I wish that they would mark some of the roads like they do in downtown.
On page 9, did that Boy Scout ever finish his Eagle Scout project?
I was wondering if you had any idea why some of the Umass North buildings and Lowell High buildings use a yellow brick.
On page 11, that truck in the middle of the parking lot is the marching band equipment truck. Around the area where the plant is, the band spraypainted hashes into the lot, which has supposedly angered the university. This of course made band camp hellish. From what I saw on old maps, the GE plant location was originally the "International Cotton Mills". I also remember from aerial photos what looked like a bridge between the plants. Where the plant was across the tracks exists the foundations of a dorm that the university was building before the city told it to stop. Now there is just the first floor and some rebar sticking out. The dorm was built to replace Smith, because of the whole nanotech thing. You know the rest, I hope.
Looking down at the river rocks, I thought you might be interested to know that the rocks down by the University Bridge and it looks like the falls appear to the roots of mountains. Don't cite me on that, as I need to confirm that with a book that I have at home.
That is just the first 12 pages, so I'll get back to you tomorrow with the rest. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:16, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Now for part two. On page 14, you mentioned the Worsted Mill. I Googled "Worsted Mill" and apparently Worsted is a brand name, as a few other mills pop up under the results. Nothing is mentioned when it comes to if Worsted is something.
I love the line painting on 14 as I have experienced firsthand the lack of lines on Pawtucket. I think at one point I did an illegal maneuver, but I didn't know since there are absolutely no lines on the road! That and the fact that the stop lights are timered makes me hate driving in the city.
On page 15, you mention the reservoir in Belvidere. I wasn't able to locate anything on Google Earth, using photos from 1996. Of course it was filled in that year, but there is usually a sign that somethign "big" happened in a city the size of Lowell.
The band practiced in the an enclave of the Appleton Mill on Saturday before the parade. Amazingly, you can fit 100 college students into a perfectly fitting arc within that. That was also the only parade other than a Boston one where I felt like I might have my teeth knocked out on the cobblestone. On page 17, the stones are pretty spacy when you consider that one of the cemeteries off of I-95 in New York has then within inches of the other. I noticed on a previous page, you mentioned that they would have to lay rail to Nashua should they ever extend service. You mention on page 18 that there is track, which is correct. You might want to clarify that a bit.
On page 19, the railroad granite thing copied that of the Quincy quarry railroads.
Page 20:"second picture are ca." Typo?
On page 21, It's Martha's Vineyard.
I've wondered where the city treats its wastewater and gets its tap. Coming from the Cape, I can't stand the chlorine, but it wouldn't suprise me if they recycled the water here.
I was also looking out across the river from Leitch Hall today when I saw what looked like a wooden structure in the woods just above the Merrimack. Do you have any idea what that might be?
Also, does St. Joseph's still operate as an independent hospital, or was it absorbed into the nearby rehabilitation hospital?
It looks good though!
I was looking at your contributions closely and I feel that you are well-qualified for WP:RFA. Seems like you significantly improved since your last RFA (four months ago). Are interested in a nomination? Thanks Secret account 18:28, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Snap! Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Bravedog. We submitted within two minutes of each other. Fences& Windows 19:09, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
And I was right behind the both of you. Three users ... wow! And even after submitting I found yet more evidence (And when you submit an SPI in the future, make sure you submit evidence as extensive and detailed as you can find. It takes a while to compile all the diffs, but the clerks and checkusers appreciate it as it makes their lives easier). Daniel Case ( talk) 19:48, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Actually, Bravedog has voted keep at least once. Daniel Case ( talk) 00:08, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
No problem. I haven't initiated too many of them myself, and this actually did turn out to be the most contentious of them, the only one where the suspect responded, and responded at some length. "That's his story and he's sticking to it" ... basically sums it up. I suppose I should admire his determination, but in actual fact it really upsets me that he refused to admit how strong the evidence was and basically fold the tent ... I mean, did you note he never addressed those edit summaries, which were the most convincing evidence?
I suppose I can also be amused from the way the two accounts started communicating with each other and editing simultaneously only after the SPI was filed. It's almost as good as the time someone sent a link to a YouTube video to "prove" they were different people. Daniel Case ( talk) 09:00, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, am concerned about image uploads sourced to the Massachusetts state government website with claims of US Government public domain. This file obviously wasn't taken by a US Government employee: it has a copyright notice from a private photo service written on the print. Have nominated two others from the Camp Edwards article for PUI, although really they all could be marked that way since we don't have a date or a direct source link for any of them (a top level link isn't helpful). Don't want to flood your user talk with notices, so wanted to discuss this with you before going any further. Is there a misunderstanding, perhaps? Durova 372 00:23, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
Thanks for your efforts in POTD scheduling. However, I have changed the photo, as the one you chose, File:Clifton Beach 5.jpg, is far too recent. The POTD is selected from the Featured Pictures roughly in order of promotion (with exceptions made for special events, anniversaries or birth/deaths), and there is currently nearly a 10-month wait between FP promotion and POTD appearance. Jumping the queue would be unfair to the other contributors, I'm afraid. Best regards, howcheng { chat} 06:29, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. You mentioned you wanted to run for RFA, personally I think that's a good idea. If you need help with that, feel free to ask me. You might want to consider requesting a
username change before doing so though. You are currently already signing as "Kevin Rutherford" instead of "Ktr101", so people might not make the connection to your nickname from your signature.

There is a discussion at WT:USRD#Which SH WPs are inactive? regarding a proposal to demote several state highway projects to task force status under USRD. The benefit of this is that while the project will be done away with, its goals will still have a presence at a new task force subsection at USRD, which may also increase participation by more serious road article editors across USRD.

Thank you for your participation in my RfA which I withdrew after concerns of my knowledge of policy. Special thanks are owed to Coffee, who defended me throughout and whom I cannot thank enough for the nomination; to 2over0 for being supportive and helpful; to A Stop at Willoughby for the thorough, thoughtful and articulate support rationale; to IP69.226.103.13 for maintaining composure and for a pleasant interaction on my talk page and, last but not least, to Juliancolton who was good enough to close the RfA at my request and, frankly, because an editor whom I respect so much found the time to support me! If the need for more admins at the main page is still apparent in a few months, I may try again. Thank you all for a relatively drama-free RfA and for providing me with much material from which to learn from my mistakes. You're all welcome to drop by my talk page any time.

Antons gets pretty far into Massachusetts, but they sure enough started here in Lowell. I didn't notice the Hub Hosiery sign was back - I haven't been down that way probably since I took that photograph...been sticking to this neighborhood. I should go back now that the construction debris is clear. I have been in the weave rooms, etc but never photographed them. That is something I should do. As you saw, I have the River Transformed exhibit in the Wannalancit building covered. I also didn't cover, but have frequently been to, the Visitors Center in the Market Mill building. That's where they keep most of the city history. The people history is in the Boardinghouse next to Boott Mill. The real serious stuff is in that building as well - the Mogan Center.

What images are in jeopardy of being deleted? Are you talking about the Jim Parker (chiropractor) photo? If so, that photo was photo-shopped to remove MY picture standing next to him. This is my license to give this photo.Someone in the Stephen J. Press discussion made a snide remark about this photo. Want to see the whole picture? What else is questioned? Д-р СДжП,ДС 18:40, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Are we kidding? She took the photo of us, with MY camera, at my request. Is this not splitting hairs? Are you an admin? If she opens an account logs on and I request permission to upload will you grant it? This is really ridiculous. Honestly. Д-р СДжП,ДС 20:38, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Oh, and its not a matter of promotion of myself. All I want is for this to tell the truth. I would never use the absurd shall of what has become the result of some grudge match of a vandalism of what was a descent article, after the work of Skelapstick, DGG, DigitalC, and others to anyone. It's an embarrassment as the latest editing has completely distorted what was all well documented. Take, for example the ridiculous argument that the edition of DC magazine, which has been long determined to be a RPOV, is now not acceptable as reliable for the purpose of proving that Dr. Press was "Founder" of FICS, only because they overlooked to include the FRONT PAGE article in the first edition ever archived in the online chiroweb.com. Because, the preposterous argument goes, it could have been deliberately overlooked due a later retraction.
Thus, by this convoluted logic, unsupported by any evidence, all off line citations of published matter are threatened, because it MIGHT be possible that the authors COULD have retracted the statements they published; MAYBE, somewhere??? If anyone can find a retraction, or even ONE statement published anywhere that says there is a dispute over who Founded FICS, then perhaps there could be some water held in this sieve of an argument. And this is typical of what I perceive to be essentially the vandalism that was done to the article. If you are going to punish me for telling the truth, then so be it. I am about ready to stop working for this group anyway. I am not sure it is worth my time to continue under these circumstances. I am convinced that the editor who started this edit war, has some gripe with me as an editor, and took out his frustrations on the bio of Stephen J. Press. I really think, if you take the time to go through all the garbage, you will see this to be true. I am not angry, just disgusted. Д-р СДжП,ДС 21:18, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

OK, I will tentatively accept that you're intentions are good. I cannot say the same about the guy with a number in lieu of a name. If you really have good intentions, then help me fix what you must know to be a travesty in the editing out of the word "chief", and "founder". These are key word which I earned and have more than documented. The arguments against them are far flimsier then those against the parker photo. Also, you know very well that though unofficially frowned upon, it is even legal to do one's own bio. That COI tag is absurd and not earned, as all I have contributed since it was completely re-edited were a few comments to point to citation needed in the discussion page. Help fix the travesty and we can kiss and make up :) Д-р СДжП,ДС 20:56, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
I have already said, when I tried to reconcile with the "anonymous number guy", who refused my rapprochement, that I can understand why it seemed that way to whomever "caught" that. And, I suppose in retrospect that it is possible that after all the facts were actually known, it may have been so technically, but I will maintain to my death that it was not intentionally so; and INTENT is really the crux of any such law. I have many times apologize for my initial ignorance when I first came online, and the errors I made then. I am not spending my life apologizing for stuff that I never intended to do incorrectly. I will apologize for any such perception of wrongdoing. I hope that you can accept this as sufficient (if you really want all of the facts, you have permission to call me; (my phone number shouldn't be hard to find from the external links), as it is from my heart.

I saw your post on WP:ERRORS, and I thought you might like a longer explanation: obvously Anglophone-Wikipedia uses the most common English-language transcription of "al-Qaeda" (that is "Al-Qaeda" at the start of a sentence). The "al-" is the Arabic equivalent of "the", so "al-Qaeda" is literally "the Base". We use the hyphen because there is no space in Arabic between the the symbol for "the" and the rest of the word. Obviously, we capitalize "Qaeda" (or any other transliteration) because we are talking about a specific terrorist group, not a 'base' in general, even though there are no capitals in the Arabic alphabet. It's a compromise, but it seems to work. Physchim62 (talk) 23:02, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi. The article Anniston Air Force Base was marked as a copyright problem by another contributor on 15 January, but you don't seem to have been given the requisite notice. The copyright problems listing cannot be closed until a week after you have been. A review suggests that the contents are heavily drawn from [6], which site indicates "© 2002, © 2009 by Paul Freeman. Revised 8/11/09".
For instance, you placed the following into the article:
Anniston was used as part of the Basic Flying School headquartered at Courtland which utilized Vultee BT-13s for the Air Cadets as well as a specialized 4-Engine flying school that flew B-24s, and a school for transition from B-24s to B-29s school opened up in early 1945. The airfield was also used by the Army Airways Communication System with the 108th AACS Squadron being assigned to the airfield.
The source says:
Anniston was used as part of the Basic Flying School headquartered at Courtland which utilized Vultee BT-13s for the Air Cadets as well as a specialized 4-engine flying school that flew B-24s, and a school for transition from B-24s to B-29s school opened up in early 1945. The airfield was also used by the Army Airways Communication System with the 108th AACS Squadron being assigned to the airfield.
Since you cited that source, there's little doubt that it was used. Though you also put a public domain template on the article, I have not been able to find that text in a PD source. Can you clarify?

Hi Kevin, thank you for your reply to my proposal.
In order to avoid diverting and dominating the conversation, I am going to reply here to a tangential point you have made, if you don't mind.
From the looks of it 124, you seem like you would be a great asset here. Have you put any thought into creating an account? - I am glad you valued my contribution, thank you. However, I think you have made a couple of erroneous assumptions in this remark - apologies if I misinterpreted your intentions.
I do have an account. In fact, I have many. I have been contributing to Wikipedia and MediaWiki for quite a few years under those accounts, as well as under my (dynamic) IP addresses. Over time, however, I have practically stopped using the accounts and now almost always contribute as an "anon". One of the reasons is that I was intrigued by the fact that, as an IP, I received a completely different treatment by editors and admins than I did as an "established editor". In my experience this is getting worse, and I think that IPs are still too big an asset for WP to close its doors to. I do understand that watching a vandalised article and reverting vandalism is boring and time-consuming, but I am convinced that we can come up with tools that alleviate this chore. Bots, tags and filter are going in the right direction - but I digress.
That's why I edit as an IP now, and that's currently my main contribution. I stand here for all IPs who I have seen being treated unfairly, with prejudice, didn't know where to appeal to, and left the project in disgust.
See, even your comment betrayed you. You seemed to assume that an IP could not possibly be "a great asset" at WP. Why not?
I think all "Wikipedians" should try editing as IPs from time to time. Just for one day or so. Do everything you would do normally, only as an IP. And as soon as an abuse occurs, highlight it and, failing that, report it. It's fun! :) 124.100.40.131 ( talk) 07:24, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Is the army field in itself notable, or can it just stay where it is, under the history section of the stadium article? Pats1 T/ C 22:52, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Hey, Kevin, I found some sources from Air Force Historical Research Agency that state that PACCS was a SAC-only system consisting of airborne assets. I'm not disputing the name you chose for The Notch article, but I think the mystery of the facility goes a little deeper than just being a PACCS facility - i think its chain of command goes farther than just the military. I'm going to flesh out some FOIAs for FEMA and DHS and see what falls out. Hope college is going well. TDRSS ( talk) 04:57, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Kevin, I've just taken a look at your contribs, logs, talk page and whatnot. Overall, I think that if you were to run RfA right now, it would do a lot better than your last one in July. You have ample experience now, so I don't think that should be an issue. Nonetheless, I do see a few potential issues. The general feeling at your past RfAs seems to be that you had you lacked the maturity, knowledge, and integrity to responsibly manage the bit. I do think you have improved in that regard, but I'm not exactly convinced just yet. Looking through User talk:Ktr101/Archive 3, I see a couple recent concerns regarding copyright issues, and since admins are expected to understand copyright policies, even if at a basic level, I think that might be brought up at RfA. Hunster's comments above are also a tad worrisome, but it seems like a simple mistake, which I'm willing to look past. Additionally, some of the opposition to your most recent adminship candidacy was based on potentially poor-form canvassing. Again, I'll AGF, but I think this might also be pointed out again. All things considered, to be perfectly honest, I don't think you would pass at the moment. I could be wrong, but knowing RfA, it'll be close either way. Your best bet would be to work in some more heavy-duty areas of the project (dispute resolution, copyright investigations, sockpuppets) so you have evidence of a comprehensive understanding of policy. Hope this helps, – Juliancolton | Talk 17:29, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I disagree with your ruling. There was considerable sentiment to delete. I suggested merging with AN because there is not a clear reason to have ANI and AN. In general, if you want to stir up a lot of drama, you put it in ANI. If you want a calmer discussion, than AN. That's the defacto treatment.

Hello... FYI, I have restored the request for a check on the IP. Let me be perfectly clear - I mean no disrespect at all to your position as a clerk at the CU page. Ordinarily, I would support your assertion that this might be perceived as "fishing", and as such would not even have made the request to begin with. However, as the admin who has had to oversee a large portion of the EHC matter, I can speak with authority in stating that this individual - who has been banned from the community - has a clearly defined pattern of block evasion, facilitated by use of multiple IP and registered sock accounts. As such, I have restored the posting with the request that this application be judged by a checkuser, given that it involves a long, long history of abusive behaviour. A simple review of this individual's contribution history, his sock account lists, and related incidents will demonstrate how these socks have been used in attempts to control article content, disrupt formal Wikipedia procedures (such as RfAs, ANI proceedings, and the like), and actively target Wikipedia users through extremely abusive behaviour on- and off-site. While the IP block at 65.31.103.28 may prevent him from using accounts from that location, he has a history of linking in form other ports with these sock accounts. -- Ckatz chat spy 05:15, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Hey there, I read on the WikiProject United States History page that you are knowledgeable in the American Civil War.

Thanks!-- Valkyrie Red ( talk) 21:12, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
What I stated above: proving that Gettysburg was decisive.-- Valkyrie Red ( talk) 02:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
I decided to work on it because it personally is my favorite battle of the Civil War (which I am a buff in). As for the credible evidence, that's where I fall short. Basically I'm using common sense, but Hlj refuses to accept that. There are plenty of authors out there, but he'll always find some sort of reason proving them wrong. To try and solve the problem he created that decisive victory? subsection near the bottom of the article which, if you read, is still more biased towards Gettysburg being indecisive. If you notice on the Vicksburg article, it was originally labeled as simply a Union victory, but now another user managed to beat Hlj and relabel it decisive Union victory. After that, I realized that Hlj was beatable (as the coalition realized that Napoleon was beatable after his failed Russian Campaign. So please, do help. -- Valkyrie Red ( talk) 20:22, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
First off I never edit-warred. What Wikipedia deems as an "edit war" I deem as a heated argument. Wikipedia just has some "extreme" editors so to say.
And those sockpuppet accusations were false. Wikipedian editors, as I said above, can get a bit extreme while editting and thus some crap goes off.
So there you have it. You can help if you want, but if you don't I'm fine with that. Afterall, there are plenty of other Civil War editors out there.-- Valkyrie Red ( talk) 14:26, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I'd never heard of this and read the AP article that appeared in my local paper. I thought, as you, this'd be a fine article and found you beat me to the punch. Hehe. I was then going to nom it for DYK, but you beat me to that too!. Great minds think alike!! So instead I've reviewed and approved the DYK. — Rlevse • Talk • 14:23, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Ktr101,
Thank you for your help! I'm just a bit anxious. Aside from the obvious that Dar book is the oldest account, is there any advantage to the switch? For example, would they still compare IronBreww against one of the anons (or with Petersantos) or will they just check on Dar book compared to all the suspected socks? My aim is to check IronBreww against Dar book, Petersantos and all the anons. Will it still work that way despite the switch? – Shannon Rose Talk 21:56, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps I have misread the comment you left in regards to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Snookerman.
You cite the essay WP:DUCK as a reasons for declining the checkuser because I may have used too many indirect words.
I'm not sure how to report that in any less words. The only reason I included a third paragraph was because I often find that admins come into situations with out knowing all the facts about the revert in the first place and wanted whomever to be fully apprised. Since I have removed that paragraph and another IP has since shown up re-adding the spam. Mkdw talk 20:09, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

There is never any reason to close an AFD before the week has ended, unless the nomination is withdrawn and there is no one that says delete or the nominator was a sockpuppet or someone just being pointy. The article Lady will most certainly end in Keep, but there is no reason not to give everyone time to speak their mind, no matter how ridiculous their cases may be. On the other side of the coin, snow deletes never have any possible justification for being done at all. I've seen nominations start off with a dozen people spamming delete, only to have more rational minded people, who take at least a brief moment to click on the Google news search at the top of the AFD, state valid reasons to keep and add in references.

Hi, although your edits are in good intention, please do not undo my edits to Nicolo Giraud.

Thanks for your understanding.-- Tonalone ( talk) 15:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Yes, it is a featured article, but that doesn't mean it is impervious to error. If you have an understanding of the topic, in this case English literary history, specifically Byron, and also have come across the banned editor's work, primarily Haiduc, you will understand that this is another case of his damage gone awry and undetected. Please discuss with me before undoing it again. I am trying to comb through the work to see what is legit and what is not. This has been done with several of his other articles. The difference here is this is a featured article.-- Tonalone ( talk) 15:35, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
I try to fix a longstanding problem and you respond by calling me disruptive.

So I was looking through one of the government-endorsed biology textbooks in the bookstore, and it has a section on genetic modification. At the end, there's a pretty green box headed "Exercise". Inside, it says
Look up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food and answer these questions, using your own diagrams and analogies where appropriate: <three pages of questions, a sizeable number about stuff that's not in the article anymore>.
I wasn't sure whether to laugh or to cry. Also, it affirms why I chose Music as my major, but that's not relevant. The music geeks I've met, for some reason, are so much more wiki-savvy- which is ironic. Maybe it's because of imslp.org, who knows? {{ Sonia| ping| enlist}} 10:40, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Please assume good faith when dealing with other editors. See Wikipedia:Assume good faith for the guidelines on this.
If that is the case (a link would be handy), then the rule is a nonsense. The "event" is over and the tag is therefore misleading. I don't want to get into a edit war over it but surely some common sense should apply rather than a strict application of the "rules" (as if the "rules" are something that absolutely must be enforced anyway). -- Mattinbgn\ talk 21:30, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

I left a message on the talk page of User:YadkinRiverRat. He/she is the only one who has NPOV concerns about this article, and his/her only contributions are to the article and its talk page. Yet he/she hasn't responded to me. The NPOV concerns were justified, and I was the only substantial contributor, so these were my fault. I was hoping someone could take a look to see if NPOV is still a problem. I'll look harder for positive information about APGI.

Back in 2004, the Hanscom Air Force Base website had several publicly-available pages on the history of Hanscom AFB and the ESC. I believe these pages were maintained by the 66th Air Base Wing Library and History Office (this might not be its exact name). The website was redesigned in 2005 or 2006 and the pages are no longer available. I wish I could be more helpful. I'm sure the information is somewhere, either available only on the Hanscom intranet or in print format. That's not so useful for Wikipedia unfortunately.

Ktr101, just a quick question on your edits to the Stony Brook Field talk page, which I have no problem with whatsoever, just a question. The order in which you placed the projects makes perfect sense to me- sport specific project, then any sports related projects, and finally any geography related projects (in descending order of size of area covered by project). I had always used this order, but I saw someone a little while back using alphabetical order for projects, so I started doing that. Is there a WP policy on this issue that you know of? Or do you just order the projects by natural order of importance? Thanks, Kithira ( talk) 20:26, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Looking good, but I'd suggest a run through portal peer review first. There are various nitpicking points that occur to me on a lookthrough which, although largely cosmetic rather than structural, would slow down FPoC. If you get some good feedback at PoPR it "clears the decks" for FPoC. Ideally, you want a couple of "Support, all my issues were addressed at peer review" comments to encourage others... Up to you, though. If you go to peer review, let me know in case I overlook it, and I'd suggest asking Espresso Addict ( talk · contribs) for his comments too: he's largely responsible for Portal:Cheshire, which might give you some ideas (it did to me for P:OXFORD, anyway).

Hi Ktr101
I am going to remove the {{ recent death}} template from the above-captioned article again. The guideline in the template documentation suggests a threshold of 100 unique editors in any 24-hour period. This article is unlikely to have even a fraction of that--in the nearly three days since the first edit reporting the death of the subject, there have been only 59 edits in total (60 with my next) from just 20 unique editors—clearly this is not edit frequency coming close to even a reasonable handicap of the intended threshold.

Hi Kevin. This is a friendly reminder that declining cases based on the fact that you feel they are "obvious" socks should really only be used in cases where it is 1) extremely obvious, and 2) a situation where the case would not benefit from a CheckUser being ran. Specifically, the above case is not quite your average dry sock case and as such should not have been declined.

Hi, you mentioned in the discussion about your Thomas Hannum DYK nomination, that there is or was "a master plan to create an article for every building on campus that isn't a storage shed". I don't know if such a plan is still in existence, or indeed may not have as wide a scope as you suggest, however I thought I would comment anyway. Such a plan is really not a good idea. A building existing on the campus of a well known university, and being larger than a storage shed, does not by itself confer notability. There are many such buildings that will not have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
Using mere physical existence as the criterion for beginning the article, in the assumption that notability can be established or challenged later, seems to me to be very unwise. Also, the apparent existence of a similar approach by members of a similar organisation, does not support or justify it, according to WP:OTHERSTUFF.
Of course this isn't to say that you shouldn't create whatever articles you wish, and then see how they are received by other editors; I am just saying I don't think this particular masterplan is a good idea. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 16:42, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
