[edit] Category:Hurricanes in Key West
Per WP:WPTC (the wikiproject overseeing tropical cyclone content) guidelines,
- Storms should be categorized by region where appropriate; see Category:Tropical cyclones by region. Hurricanes impacting the United States should generally go into a category "<state> hurricanes" (like Category:North Carolina hurricanes). Nations follow a different standard; the category is called "Hurricanes in <nation>" (like Category:Hurricanes in Mexico. Obviously a storm should only be categorized into a particular region if it had a strong impact on that region (as opposed to all regions affected as the infobox will show).
There is no need for a Key West category. – Chacor 15:16, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation to new WikiProject
Sorry to disturb, but am wishing to take a moment of your time for something I hope will be of interest. I'd like to invite you to join a new WikiProject I've started, WikiProject National Register of Historic Places. Should you feel so inclined, please feel free to join. And spread the word to any other interested parties. :) -Ebyabe 19:27, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I love your photos
keep them coming, and I'll cover the Ft. Lauderdale / Palm Beach area, as well as Miami.
I need to get a better camera first, but for now, I'll use my 1.3 mpxl until I can get another 4+.

- Thanks for the compliment. I'll be sure and continue taking them as I see opportunities arise. - Marc Averette 19:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fixing redirects
I noticed you fixed a couple of redirect links in Little Haiti.[1] While your diligence is commendable, it is unnecessary and occasionally counter-productive to do so - see WP:R. Hope this saves you some work. --INTRIGUEBLUE (talk|contribs) 04:24, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, I see what you're doing. When you move a page, a redirect is automatically created from the original location to the new page. There is no need to go through and update all the links to the old page. However, if there are any redirects that pointed to the old page, they should be fixed. You can check this out using the "what links here" link in the toolbox on the lefthand side. --INTRIGUEBLUE (talk|contribs) 04:29, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I fixed the links to Biscayne Boulevard (Miami) & Miami Avenue (Miami) because they no longer exist. They are now just Biscayne Boulevard & Miami Avenue, due to unambiguity. I'm not sure I understand what you think the problem is here. - Marc Averette 14:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- There's not really a problem, it's just a waste of time. If you click the links you'll find that they spit you out at the correct page anyway, because the pages do in fact still exist - see [2][3]. The reason these redirects are created is so you don't have to go through and fix all the links every time you move a page. --INTRIGUEBLUE (talk|contribs) 17:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

- I see. I thought that it was proper Wiki policy to change the links instead of having them go to redirects. If it's OK to leave them, I'll do that from now on. There were only about 5 pages that linked to the old one, so it wasn't a big deal, but if there were many I can see how it would be a waste of time. Thanks. - Marc Averette 18:50, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Florida State Road A1A image
Oops! Thanks for the quick catch. Lost my head for a moment. Cheers! -- Mwanner | Talk 01:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please dont accuse me of vandalism
On your latest revert ofSouth Florida, you labeled the users who favored the other image of the Miami skyline as "vandals". Have a look at the wikipedia:vandalism -- my revert to the other image in no way constitutes vandalism. I even provided a rationale for this revert -- that it shows more of the skyline. As for the copyright status of the image, I must admit I didn't even check it before reverting. Careless perhaps, and I'll be more careful in the future, but hardly a huge deal (as there are procedures for dealing with copyright issues which have obviously been set in motion) and hardly vandalism. I am a long term contributor. I have created articles and made countless good faith efforts that I firmly believe have improved this encyclopedia generally and its coverage of South Florida specifically. I have even reverted quite a bit of real vandalism. I seriously resent being labeled a "vandal" because I disagree with you about which image of the Miami skyline is best and didnt think to check the image's use rationale before reverting your edit. An apology for throwing around such harsh accusations is, I think, in order, per wikipedia:civility. Captaintruth 05:16, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
