Mark I detail in History of computing hardware

edit

It's a lot of interesting detail and I commend you for adding it, but if I might offer, you've put it in the wrong place. That article is a general survey of computing devices and should not include too much detail on any one device. Can you perhaps transplant the Mark I detail to its own article?

You said: "Would you recommend starting a new article with only a couple of sentences and hope others hang more detail on it?" What you describe is a stub, and when marked as such, is a valid and useful contribution to the encyclopedia. As a side-note, blanking a user talk page is bad form on Wikipedia, as difficult as the temptation is to resist, I know. Robert K S 21:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Beach Road Bridge

edit

Good afternoon, I have indeed seen the Beach Road bridge. I actually wrote most the Lane Avenue Bridge article as it is today, so I'm fairly well versed with it as well as bridges in general. I would recommend you create an article on it, as you have a fair amount of information regarding its history and construction. I even have some pictures that could be added to an article once created. My thought behind removing it was just that the Lane Avenue Bridge is not close to the Beach Road bridge distance wise, even though the design is similar. If you want to get started, click the following link: Beach Road Bridge and you can make a page. Best of luck to you.--Analogue Kid 19:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned fair use image (Image:BeachRdBridgeFranklinCountyOhio.jpg)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:BeachRdBridgeFranklinCountyOhio.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Primary Access

edit
 

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Primary Access, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion of User:Misaiato/Paradyne

edit
 

A tag has been placed on User:Misaiato/Paradyne, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Harrison County

edit

I moved are conversation here since we are getting off topic. I am familiar with Lamberts run. It runs from Gregorys Run in the Wilsonburg area all the way out to Spelter. It is a nice residential area. If you want any further information about that area I would be glad to help you out. I am a 911 dispatcher in Harrison County so i am very knowledgeable about the area and have access to alot of information. Thanks again for the pic's on Billy's page. I really appriciate it. Improved the look of the page 10 fold. Garkeith (talk) 19:17, 6 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

I tried to get to Lamberts Run Rd when I was in the area once, but came at it from the west, and it turned into a dirt road I didn't want to attempt on a motorcycle. My ancestor sold that land around 1790, and used the money to buy a larger tract in Lawrence County, OH. The home he built in Ironton is still standing. My dad and granddad were both born in Huntington, as most of the family ended up working for the C&O Railroad when it became the Big Deal in that part of the country. You may know that the City of Huntington was founded and laid out by the C&O, which was owned by Collis P. Huntington. Later Dad and Granddad moved to Charleston to work for duPont, which is how I came to be born there.

Do you happen to know Hayman Plaugher? His daughter is married to my wife's brother. I believe he's living in Salem these days. Boomer (talk) 00:45, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for File:Mantooth004.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Mantooth004.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:38, 10 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for uploading File:Mantooth004.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:42, 18 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hughes Mining Barge, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Catalina Island (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

March 2015

edit

  Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Herbert Hoover High School (West Virginia). Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. probably the most fundamental policy on Wikipedia is WP:V, which states that everything on Wikipedia must be sourcable to some already published source. Since both the NCES and the school's website disagree with you, you will need to find a source to verify what you want to change. John from Idegon (talk) 18:20, 21 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

I agree with John from Idegon here, though I understand the issue of unincorporated communities completely and it may well be true that local people commonly and unofficially refer to the community as "Falling Rock". But the high school's website and the school district's website disagree. We reflect what reliable sources say, not the personal opinions and experiences of individual editors. So, find a reliable "Falling Rock" source for the school's location. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:25, 25 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
