Deletion of Mallet Assembly

Hi, Ttownfeen

According to the (now deleted) history of Mallet Assembly, the original author of the article was 151.140.192.209, an anonymous IP. This doesn't match up with the claim in the article's talk page at Talk:Mallet Assembly that Streyeder was the original author. Now that doesn't mean that Streyeder didn't start the article, but Wikipedia admins cannot make guesses as to the correlation of particular IP addresses to newly registered Wikipedia users. There are a lot of articles on Wikipedia that, put simply, are copyright violations and need to be dealt with to ensure that the Wikimedia Foundation does not run into legal problems with unhappy copyright holders. Additionally, the article was extremely non-NPOV in point of view and would have had to be edited down significantly. I hope this clarifies things for you. :) Bumm13 18:26, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Maybe so, though I seriously doubt you (or rather, the Wikimedia Foundation) should be worryring about being sued for copyright infringement by a small non-university-affiliated fraternity-esque organization that I might add is always trying to think of ways to "stick to the Man" ;-). As to the extreme lack of NPOV, well, you get no argument from me. This was copy-and-pasted from a self-promoting site after all. An NPOV tag would have sufficed, I believe. I just find a complete deletion to be a bit draconian. Of course, this (quite literally) makes for a tabula rasa to restart the article.

Vandy logo

I dunno, it looks OK on both my monitors. I just thought the black-on-white logo was a bit drab. Resizing it was a good idea, though. Microtonal...(Put your head on my shoulder) 05:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

To be honest, I haven't looked at the article itself in quite a while. I'll try to give it a once-over next week sometime to see if there's anything I can add to it. Microtonal...(Put your head on my shoulder) 04:06, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Red wikilinks

There's nothing wrong with wikilinking to a non-existent article. Most articles are filled with red links. Microtonal...(Put your head on my shoulder) 01:33, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I guess. Just more of a pet peeve of mine. --Ttownfeen 18:02, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

thanks

Thanks for the welcome to Wikipedia. Glad to know I'm not the only person out there who's trying to help VU put its best foot forward.  :) Esrever 05:48, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Is this the correct place to post comments to you? If not, sorry : ) Anyways, I posted those comments to Esrever cause it looks like (in the history) that they were taken away by him, but I am not 129.59.44.34, but 129.59.46.252. I will read throught the article and see what I can do about taking more pictures for the Vanderbilt article. Reid Sullivan 00:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Reimaging

Not a problem... color correction isn't my forté : )

I just like taking pictures, whether the light is good or bad.

Have a great day, -- Reid Sullivan 22:40, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Kirkland caption

I changed the caption of the picture of Kirkland Hall; it's not the oldest building on campus. Old Central (where the history department's offices are) is older, as the structure actually predates the university itself. Just an FYI.

By the way, have you thought about adding the image of the old seal back? While I like our new "V," that image is still the official seal of the university, and it still appears on everything "important" around Vanderbilt: diplomas and their frames, class rings, etc.

Esrever 04:35, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

You're right to note that it's the first building on campus built specifically by the university for its own needs. Certainly feel free to change the caption to reflect that, too. As it was, though, it wasn't entirely accurate.

Thanks for adding the seal back, too.  :) Esrever 05:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Colleges

no need to get all upset. The fact is that Infobox Univeersity is becoming the standard for all colleges. And I will concede the fact that facuilty will work quite fine, that was wrong of me to change. Facuilty works well for a North American college. however, i would request that you never act as if you have anymore right to be here than me. I still have respect for you as you have done nothing to have me lose it, but please dont act as if your better than me in any way shape or form. I have just as much right to change that page as you do. I am changing all the templates to Infobox University as it is the best (I feel anyways) option available to standardize. i think the University2 makes the name too less pronounced. Anywho... if you need to contact me leave a line on my talk page. Until then, stay in (if your still in) school, dont do drugs, and never stay up past 2:00AM to edit Wikipedia unless your strung out on caffine! American Patriot 1776 04:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes I would agree that I should have left a line or something but I thought nothing of it at the time. Apologies. I also agree that it isn't the best looking box out there but in the terms of standardization its all we have. I myself dont have the skills necessary to create a template but if you do, I would encourage you to create one and bring it up at a naming convention or something like that. Once again I apologize for not making my beliefs as clearcut and straightforward as they could have been. American Patriot 1776 17:17, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Olympic bids

Will you be putting Olympic bid and selection information (complete with all the logos for the losing bids) onto every Olympics page? If not, Sydney is being singled out for special tratment. Figaro 09:01, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I have no problem with the way things are now, with the bid information near the bottom of the page. Cheers, Figaro 01:24, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

new headings in bengali language article

ah, sorry about the editing of your subheadings. i need to be patient and at least see where you're going with this, i guess! i'm excited about the prospect of upgrading to featured article status - if there's anything i can contribute to, please let me know. i think that a lot of the dialectal information is already in the article, just a little further down than where you initially placed the headings. but if you are adding some new information in these subheadings, that's even better! --SameerKhan 06:21, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Map

The county w/ city limits maps are taken from a series of map files I've generated for my own use, with the data cobbled together from various GIS sources and the most recent ALDOT county highway maps at Alabama Maps. I only have a few counties available--Lee, Macon, Chambers, Russell, Tallapoosa, Elmore, Montgomery, and part of Madison in Alabama, and Troup, Harris, Muskogee, and Chattahoochee in Georgia. If you're looking for maps of any of those counties, I could generate one pretty quickly for you, though the Montgomery and Elmore ones are somewhat out of date due to some large annexations by Montgomery, Pike Road, and Millbrook of which I haven't yet found maps. Since I figure you're probably looking for one for Tuscaloosa County, if you have a vector file of Tuscaloosa and Northport's city limits you could send me, I could probably get you a similar map within a few weeks. -- Lissoy 05:12, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I got the maps from the US Census Bureau. I basically copied and pasted the map of Jefferson County to my computer. I then took the map and basically drew all the cities in the county from that. Leonard23 10:37, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

State capital

I think this material is already covered at State capitol and Capitol. Perhaps simply redirecting your spelling to one of those articles is the best solution? A redirect is a good idea, since it's a common mispelling. Cheers. Dina 21:09, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, we also seem to have an article called Capital. Now I'm confused. Dina 21:11, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Apparently I'm not just confused, I'm also wrong. Sorry to bug you. Cheers Dina 21:13, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm trying to think of some way to disambig these at the top, succintly and accurately, to save others from making the dumb understandable mistake that I did. I'll try something... Dina 12:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Vanderbilt

Thanks for the kind words about my work on the Vanderbilt article. I just do what I can around here.  :) If you have time, feel free to implement some of the suggestions from the GA review (though I can certainly understand being too busy for WP!). Esrever 21:13, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

University of Alabama

"nobody in Alabama is obnoxious enough to call UA "The University", except for Auburn people posing as Alabama people" Too funny ;-). - auburnpilot talk 21:57, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Why thank you! I try to do what I can. --Ttownfeen 18:44, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Article for Duke University Newspaper, The Chronicle, on Duke Wikipedia Page

Hi there! I apologize in advance if this is the incorrect way to communicate with you, but I've never used "talk" before. I'm a rising sophomore at Duke University and am writing an article for the paper on Duke's Wikipedia page, and I had noticed you had edited that article. I was just wondering why you edited the page, if you have any affiliation with the University, and any and all comments you may have regarding the page. Feel free to reach me here, via email: haa3@duke.edu , or via AIM: haahaamagician . Thank you very much! Haahaamagician (talk) 18:29, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

University Infobox

I have made a request at Template talk:Infobox university, and I was hoping that you could take a look at it, place a comment, or even, perhaps, fulfill the request. Thank you, HuskyHuskie (talk) 22:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough! Sorry I doubted. ;) Esrever ^(klaT) 04:39, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Tuscaloosa, AL

Thank you for your appreciative comment in regards to the contributions I made to the Tuscaloosa, AL page. I was born and raised in Tuscaloosa, but moved away four years ago and I truly miss my native city dearly. --RollTide13 (talk) 05:13, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Midtown Village

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Midtown Village 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Inks.LWC (talk) 08:36, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport

Hello, Ttownfeen,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username SunDawn, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. You may find our guide for writing quality articles to be extremely informative. Also, you may want to consider working on future articles in draft space first, where they cannot be deleted for lacking content.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|SunDawn}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
