editI just wanted to thank you for all your contribs to the Daytona Beach related articles. I've been noticing all the edits you've been doing, as I watch just about every Daytona related article. So thanks for all of your contributions! Happy wikiediting! (P.S. I left a note on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bellair Plaza for you. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 00:06, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Please be careful
editAs most of your edits have been very useful so far, be sure not to break WP:NOT#INFO. Some of your additions include simple lists that may not belong on Wikipedia. I'm not going to remove anything, but I was just suggesting you read that section to make sure you understood some Wikipedia guidelines. Have a good one! --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 03:24, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Possibly unfree Image:Volusia-florida.jpg
editAn image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Volusia-florida.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Donald Albury 14:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use Image:Volusia-florida.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Volusia-florida.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Tom (talk - email) 16:10, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

editI checked it out. I'm about to put up what I thought was better, but I think for requests on improvement you request a peer review so that a broader audience can go and take a look at the article. I am going to put up my comments on the article's talk page.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Deland, Florida article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. -- Mwanner | Talk 21:31, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Daytona Beach Golf Course
editAn article that you have been involved in editing, Daytona Beach Golf Course, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daytona Beach Golf Course. Thank you.
Just read the article, and am wondering if there is anything notable about the course to warrant inclusion on Wikipedia, as it holds no events of note. I am inclined to think a single line in the Daytona Beach, Florida article would sufficiently cover the subject. As such I have placed it on the Articles for Deletion list. Please fell free to have your say there and update the article in the meantime. bigissue (talk) 16:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Why did you remove WVYB?
editWhy did you remove WVYB from Daytona Beach's FM radio list? The station's slogan is "Daytona's Hit Music Station" - Not only that but it's the only A/C Top 40 radio station that has studios in Daytona Beach. Why should the licensing city matter? --eric (mailbox) 09:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Ormond Mound
editIt doesn't look like you've done anything yet on this, so I guess I can still comment. Note that Indian Mound Park redirects to a dab page at Indian Mounds Park, so you should add a link to your article there. Ormond Mound sounds fine for a title. You could also create a redirect at Ormond Indian Mound. -- Donald Albury 00:28, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Daytona Beach, Florida, Demographics Table
editI'm so sorry about that, I found the census data for 1910 and 1920 for Seabreeze, Daytona, and Daytona Beach. The census population figures for Seabreeze was 308 in 1910, and 571 in 1920. The census population figures for Daytona was 771 in 1890, 1,690 in 1900, 3,082 in 1910, and 5,445 in 1920. The census population figures for Daytona Beach was 331 in 1910, and 825 in 1920. By adding the three together, the census population figures for Seabreeze, Daytona, and Daytona Beach consolidated together was 771 in 1890, 1,690 in 1900, 3,721 in 1910, and 6,841 in 1920.

Florida DOT Maps
editYou've been recommending a lot of maps by Florida Department of Transportation's Survey and Mapping Department, but I found my share of errors there. On the Hillsborough County map, the extension of County Road 589 is missing. On the Hernando County Map, Cortez Boulevard west of US 19 is mislabeld as County Road 50, when it was actually County Road 550 before I arrived in the state 10 years ago. On the Sumter County Map, Florida State Road 48 goes east of County Road 475 before reaching US 301, when it actually tuns south on Main Street before reaching US 301. The only Marion County map is out of date, and is missing the eastern section, and the Pasco County map leads to Pinellas County. I know I should really report this to the FDOT, but I just thought you should keep this in mind as well. ----DanTD (talk) 11:38, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Space Coast Area Transit
editI think this is a darn good stub article, one of the best I have seen of that length. I know how annoying it is to have an article deleted. Had that happened to me. Glad you restored it. I've looked for a discussion for deletion but could not find it. Accidental?
Being in the template may not be new, but it would assure me (normally) that the article has permanence. Not much more I can do, other than admire it. You've done a great job. I will be on the lookout for more info. You might ask the guy who put the "othersources" there if he is now willing to remove the tag. I think that is a bit much. Also, by inserting {{Florida stub}}, this should allow you (or someone) to remove the "need more information tag". That is ridiculous for a stub article IMO.
And I am picky! Student7 (talk) 00:21, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks to you and your question, we now have a template on transportation in another state where one was lacking. In fact, comparing your article objectively to one I wrote independently, yours is better. Let me know if you run into another snag! Student7 (talk) 00:53, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Florida's copyright status
editHi.
Copyright status of work by the Florida government needs clarification as the Florida government itself prominently displays copyright notices on its various websites. The article Lake George State Forest was listed for investigation for copyright concerns on April 4th. It has now been blanked and listed at Wikipedia:Copyright_problems#Remaining_older_issues.2C_consolidated pending resolution of this matter. Please provide any information you can offer there. I've also requested clarification of this discrepancy at Copyright status of work by the Florida government. I am concerned that you may have misinterpreted "public records" to mean "public domain". These are very different legal concepts. Public records are required by law to be accessible, but that does not mean they may reproduced and modified as public domain documents can. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:26, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
- I have also listed Tiger Bay State Forest, though it is at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2009 April 12 since it had not previously been listed for investigation at WP:CP. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:32, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

The article County Road 4040 (Volusia County, Florida) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable county road. Just because it linked Daytona to another town in the 20s doesn't mean its notable.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Re: Scenic Highways in Florida
editI went to the link for Scenic Highways in Volusia County, Florida, but for some reason, it keeps giving me "CODE OF ORDINANCES: City of DADE CITY, FLORIDA." ----DanTD (talk) 01:49, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
VCR's 4040 & 4050
editYou might not want to hear this, but the best advice I can give you is to try to see if they were former state roads tied to the Great Florida Renumbering of 1945. I've got some links for you, which you may already know about:
The fact that these roads connected towns which were eventually acquired by Daytona Beach may be the only thing about them that's notable. If those links don't work, your best bet would be to merge them into the List of county roads in Volusia County, Florida. ----DanTD (talk) 02:21, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hopefully, that will be good enough. It seems that way. ----DanTD (talk) 02:19, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Note
editThere is no other agenda afoot here Gamweb. You incorrectly processed three articles for deletion apparently trying to make a point as one of your articles was nominated for deletion. AFD is not grounds for tantrums or fights with other editors. If you have an issue with another editor, there are numerous avenues that you can take, such as getting a third opinion, request for comment, or The administrators noticeboard. Don't accuse an uninvolved individual as having an agenda. The articles would have been snowballed closed anyway. I'm also posting this on your talk page. Dusti*poke* 05:10, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
- If you had bothered to review the history of the three pages that are falsely "attributed" to me, you would have noticed that I do not have even one edit on any of them. The argument used is inaccurate and irrelevant. Gamweb (talk) 08:37, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

- I actually did, and if you notice the community was clearly against the proposed deletion of the articles. Don't accuse me of not weighing the community's concerns and looking over the situation. You have a conflict of interest in this situation, and therefore need to step back. I support you taking a wikibreak as you have indicated you are doing since you're being "harassed" which I see no instance of. Dusti*poke* 21:27, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
- I did not use the word harassed, but you did. I used the phrase personal attacks which you are persisting in. What is considered to be a personal attack? Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence. You have several times now posted that ...as one of your articles was nominated for deletion. I did not create, do not have any edits in, nor have any association with the three articles that are offered as "evidence" of your accusation. Futhurmore, I do not own any articles on WP (as no other contributor does, either). I find your conduct in this incident to be troubling, as you openly state on your user page that you are seeking promotion to Wikipedia Administrator. I do not support your promotion to be a Wikipedia Administrator. Gamweb (talk) 17:29, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Gamweb, I need to comment, if only to get you to understand the situation.Three Michigan articles were nominated for deletion after you were asked to comment on the nominations concerning three Florida articles. That is the connection, not any edit history. Those FL nominations were for redirection/merger not deletion. The nomination rationale for the three MI articles was very faulty, as notability is very clearly established in all three articles. Michigan has tens of thousands of county roads, if not hundreds of thousands. Only 7 have articles. Of those 7, 4 are part of a state-wide system with numbers assigned by the state, 1 (CR 492) contains the first highway centerline in the country, 1 (Brockway Mountain Drive) was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and is famous for its scenic value and 1 (Forest Highway 16) is mistaken as part of the CDH system on maps. To merge FFH-16 or any of the CDHs back into the list (they were merged once) would unbalance the list, hence the split. Non-notable articles, i.e. articles that don't meet the General Notable Guideline, normally should not have individual articles. A system of CRs in a county is notable, and coverage of the components in a list is appropriate. That's the only "agenda", if you will. Imzadi 1979 → 02:48, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Re: Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail
editI've got a version of it in my sandbox, but I'm not doen with it yet. There are some aspects of it that I have to write, rewrite., and try to find out if I can get away with describing it in a counter-clockwise direction. ----DanTD (talk) 19:59, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
Re: List of county roads in XXXXXXX County, Florida
editLooks pretty good. Although the following line;
"The numbers and routes of all Florida highways are assigned by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), while county road numbers are assigned by the counties, with guidance from FDOT. North-south routes are generally assigned odd numbers, while east-west routes are generally assigned even numbers."
Doesn't necessarily apply to all roads in all counties. Sumter County Road 673, for example is an odd number that runs east-west. I suppose we could leave that line there and point out that there are roads that don't always follow the E/W=even & N/S=odd rules. ----DanTD (talk) 13:27, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Might you know the boundaries for this, specifically? What the NRHP lists is kinda vague. Like, how far south it goes. I hope to get over there in the near future, and it'd help to know, ya see. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 18:52, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
- I've noticed myself that the NRHP description is rather vague. I can only speculate - "Seabreeze" H.D. is the one furthest to the north, "Surfside" H.D. is directly south of Seabreeze H.D. So - perhaps "South Peninsula" H.D. is directly south of "Surfside" H.D.? I wont know for sure unless I can track down someone from our local Hysterical Commission and ask them directly. :p Gamweb (talk) 02:13, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
- Another possibility about South Peninsula H.D. comes to mind - an episode from local history I remember reading: Around 1924, Daytona Beach (the old, little Daytona Beach, before consolidation) and Port Orange wanted to annex the whole South Beach Peninsula area. The local residents did not want to join either city, instead they wanted to join mainland Daytona. The State Legislature granted the residents their wish, and let the whole of the South Peninsula join Daytona. This is what prompted the consolidation talks in 1925 - Seabreeze, Daytona, and Daytona Beach became one on Jan. 1st, 1926. The new city gobbled up Blake (South Daytona) also (residents of Blake fought the annexation in court and won). The residents of South Peninsula changed their minds and did not want to be part of the consolidated Daytona Beach and the annexation was greatly reduced in size (Daytona Beach Shores and Ponce Inlet were organized almost 40 years later). So perhaps the "South Peninsula H.D." is supposed to represent the entire south peninsula area, that became part of mainland Daytona in 1924? (This is just speculation, of course) Gamweb (talk) 02:29, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
- Well, Halifax Road is one of the boundaries of the Seabreeze and South Peninsula HDs, so I can start from there. I seem to remember that the HDs are fairly well marked with street signs and banners, so I should be able to muddle thru. Thanks for the history lesson. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 16:18, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Infoboxes
editThere is an infobox for highway system articles in the US called {{infobox state highway system}}. I have added it to all of the FL list articles, but you'll need to deploy it to the remaining county road lists. It has the same links on the bottom of the box as will now appear in all Floridian articles using {{infobox road}}. The subtemplate was updated with links to the lists for Interstates, US Highways, State Roads, Pre-1945 State Roads, Toll Roads and the main article on county roads in Florida. We can program the subtemplate at some point to recognize the county name and add a link to the county-specific list. What you've been pasting into the top of lists isn't good because it's a hard-coded infobox. By using the template, your articles will be updated as the template is updated. (It was recently given the same visual facelift as the other roads infoboxes. In the future, the green color bars may change shades, and by using the template, your articles will change to match.) Imzadi 1979 → 21:07, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
- County-specific list logic has been added to the subtemplate. Now if a stand-alone CR has an infobox, the list of links at the bottom of that infobox will recognize the county name and link to the county list as well. Imzadi 1979 → 21:13, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Re: List of county roads in Volusia County, Florida
editAh, that's reminiscent of the list of County Roads in Rockland County, New York. That would be an interesting way to reformat the Florida County Road lists, although it might make many of them too big, and would require some splitting. Even if you do it that way, I still would like to make the Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail article seperatley, and if you find more Florida CR lists to make, you should do them. ----DanTD (talk) 18:59, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Daytona Cubs notable players inclusion criteria
editIt would be good to state what exactly makes these players "notable". Obviously, they are notable to Wikipedia, but why are they notable members of the team? Are they simple those who have played any games in the majors? Have they won some kind of MLB award (MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, Silver Slugger, Gold Gloves, etc.)? Were they selected to play in a major league all-star game? Do they hold Daytona baseball records? Whatever the case, it would be best to say why their name is on the list and make sure everyone who meets this criteria is included. NatureBoyMD (talk) 00:48, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- I understand. I copied them from this category but have not done any further research on them. I figured, since they have their own pages on Wikipedia, they must be considered notable already. Gamweb (talk) 00:54, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- It may be better to just mention that they have all played in the majors at the beginning of the section instead of adding "major league [position]" to each player's name. It looks crowed in my opinion. You could also add an abbreviation of their position after the name (ex. "*Matt Murton, OF"). NatureBoyMD (talk) 01:51, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- I did half of them - yes I agree it looks crowded now. I will try your suggestions. Gamweb (talk) 01:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

steinert high school
editHi. Apparently, you are not entirely clear on "fair use". The use of a logo copyrighted by Michigan State University is only fair use to illustrate an article about Michigan State University, or an article about a program of Michigan State University. It is not fair use to illustrate an article about a high school, even if the high school is "getting away" with using the logo themselves. I am not a lawyer, but it certainly appears the high school is itself making a copyright violation. Some schools (Notre Dame, for one) will aggressively pursue that type of violation. Others not so much. But it doesn't change the fact that MSU's logo is copyrighted by them, and fair use only allows for using copyrighted logos to illustrate articles about the copyright holder. Happy editing! Gtwfan52 (talk) 08:09, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- Steinert High School's Logo is illustrated on the school web site here: Hamilton East. You can easily see its identical. I suppose the legal issue is between Michgan State University and Steinert High School, although I can't imagine Michigan suing a public high school over it. I have separated the logos and I have a few other samples of items in my posession that I may be able to use. (I'm a graduate of Steinert, Class of 1980). Gamweb (talk) 08:15, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

edit You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Steinert High School. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Gtwfan52 (talk) 20:14, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Steinert High School logo.jpg)
editThanks for uploading File:Steinert High School logo.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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

Steinert & MSU
editHi. I an on my phone editing right now and due to the restrictions my small phone put on me, I can neither read the newspaper article nor reply on the old thread at the article. However, it is still doubtful that the spartan logo could be used on the steinert article, as its copyright status still has not changed. It is still copyrighted to MSU and it is not a fair use to use it to idenntify Steinert. Steinert has been liscensed to use it. That has no bearing on a third party such as Wikipedia. John from Idegon (talk) 22:18, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- And having read the article now, I see nothing in it that would dissuade me from that position. Wikipedia always is on the conservative side of any copyright question; that is to say that if there is any question the answer is no. A license to use it is just that and it has no bearing on a third party like Wikipedia. MSU is still the copyright holder and will be in perpetuity, as long as they keep up their paperwork. With the dollar value of the trademark, that is a forgone conclusion. John from Idegon (talk) 22:25, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
- OK thanks for your input. Gamweb (talk) 04:59, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
