[edit] Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week
I would like to revive this project. I noticed that you've added yourself to the list of available Spanish-to-English translators. Are you interested in working on Spanish Translation of the Week? — J3ff 06:27, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV in UE entry
Just curious as to your NPOV tag in the University of Evansville entry, if you could clarify? Thanks. Jeremiah Cook 00:58, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Quarto by email
Hi JB82, a new mailing list has been set up to distribute news about the Wikimedia foundation, specifically at the moment to publicise Quarto. I saw your name on the quarto talk page requesting a copy by email, and I think this mailing list is how we're going to do it for the moment. It'll be a html email, which I've added to the Quarto talk page m:Talk:WQ. Mailing list is called Foundation-news-l (We also need translators!) Cheers w:User:Cormaggio
[edit] Patriot's Day
Should Patriot's Day be on April 19 ? -- PFHLai 02:24, 2005 Apr 18 (UTC)
- From what I heard, Patriot's Day is the third Monday in April; we could just use April 19 as the traditional day. -- JB82 02:28, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've changed Patriot's Day accordingly. -- PFHLai 02:39, 2005 Apr 18 (UTC)
[edit] Twin Towns
Hi, it looks like you're the one who split the List of twin towns and sister cities in France off onto its own page. Although I can see why you did this (the main list is getting rather huge now), I think it's worth considering a) how best to split the page, so we can be consistent and do the same for all situations; and b) whether splitting is the best idea anyway - given the disadvantage that it will further discourage people from keeping the listings consistent. Anyway, if you fancy discussing the best options, come and give your opinion at the main list's talk page. - IMSoP 16:58, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Dr. Don
I had labeled the article Dr. Don Rose partially to reduce any possible confusion with infamous Don Rose on Cincinatti and both baseball fame and scandals. Is their a Wikipedia naming convention for this? I think he is best known as Dr. Don Rose, but mostly just wanted him remembered in WP. Yours in Richmond, VA, Vaoverland 23:52, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] lots of edits, not an admin
Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 22:56, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] wikiquote - Al Pacino
You've never seen 'Heat', am I right? So please, don't add entries if you have no idea about the film. Thanks. -- Neil
[edit] Bridge-stub
Hi JB82 - just thought you should be told that bridge-stub has been put up for deletion at WP:SFD. Not only was it not created in accordance with the procedure at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting, but it cuts directly across the hierarchy used for stubs, in that bidges are already sorted by location, which is the organisation which editors are most likely to hunt for when looking for articles to expand. Grutness...wha? 23:00, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] News 10 Now / Capital News 9 Partial Merger?
Have you heard anything of a News 10 Now / Capital News 9 partial merger? An anonymous poster posted this in the News 10 Now article, but I haven't been able to find any sources, using Google news, web search, or on any Time Warner sites. Since you created the Capital News 9 article, I though you might possibly have heard something. -newkai | talk | contribs July 4, 2005 08:16 (UTC)
- Nevermind, found an article... There will be some minor consolidation... Looks like news anchors will be in Albany, weather people in Syracuse. -newkai | talk | contribs July 4, 2005 08:22 (UTC)
News anchors in Albany and weather people is Syracuse? Sounds a bit like Sinclair's "News Central" operation to me. JB82 4 July 2005 15:37 (UTC)
[edit] Image tagging
Hello, JB82. I ain't a lawyer, but I am not sure if the GFDL licence applies to the logos you've added to Wikipedia. Are you the graphic designer and is your firm okay with this ? I've re-tagged the images with {{logo}} for now. -- PFHLai 23:39, 2005 August 27 (UTC) BTW, Image:Windoid logo.gif appears to be a duplicate of Image:WB45 WEWB.gif, ditto for Image:WNYT.jpg and Image:WNYT Logo.jpg. Shall I delete the extra one ? Any preference which gets deleted ? -- PFHLai 23:45, 2005 August 27 (UTC)

[edit] Hannaford (supermarket)
Was there some reason you tagged this article with {{vfd}}, even tho you created it? --Mairi 00:39, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- Yes. I didn't know that it had already been created until I saw it. JB82 01:35, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

- Since you're the only author, you could tag it for speedy deletion as being created as a mistake. --Mairi 02:54, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] SP-stub
Hi - I note you've recently created a new stub category. Did you realise that stub categories should normally be cleared by Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting before creation? That way they can be vetted to check that there are a viable number of stubs (at least 60-100) and that the category does not cross the existing stub hierarchy before the stub is created.
If you can provide any information on why the stub was created, please add a note to entry for the stub at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Discoveries giving the reason for it. In addition, if there is any Wikiproject associated with the stub add that information. Thanks. Be aware, however, that if the stub category does not soon reach a viable level of activity, it is likely to be nominated for deletion at WP:SFD
In the case of this stub, it will probably be useful, given the number of South Park articles there are. The name of the new template, however, does not conform to the WSS naming guidelines, so it has been moved to {{SouthPark-stub}}. Grutness...wha? 01:44, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Rhode-island-geo-stub
Another stub that wasn't suggested at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. It's now mentioned at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Discoveries, if you care to comment. If nothing else, the template will probably be moved so that "Island" is capitalized. --Mairi 04:28, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] New York stuff
Thanks for helping out with upstate New York. Keep at it! Stepp-Wulf 00:38, 10 October 2005 (UTC).
[edit] U.S. Highway WikiProject
The template goes on the talk page and it is {{U.S. Highway WikiProject}}. Just thought I'd mention that. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:28, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sources for Jesús-Rafael Soto
Hello, good work on Jesús-Rafael Soto, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Jesús-Rafael Soto? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or see WP:CITET if you wish to review some of the different citation methods. Thanks! Lupin|talk|popups 23:17, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Rinat dasaev.jpg has been listed as a possibly unfree image

[edit] new collaboration project
You'd you be interested in participating in a new Collaboration project that aims at translating good and featured articles in the French Wikipedia to English (much like the Spanish Translation of the Week)? I'm trying to see if there's enough users interested in this project before creating it. Thank you. CG 17:47, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
