Check out my comments here, Wikipedia awards committee. Thanks! --evrik 17:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation for Kevin Long

Is there some reason why I shouldn't make Kevin Long a disambiguation page? Kevin Long the football player was linked from another article and I'm going to write an article about him. Why would you just automatically want to revert someone's work? I don't get it. The point of Wikipedia is to improve, not delete. Anyway, I'm about to create Kevin Long (football).

I misunderstood you, my mistake. Peace. TheQuandry 04:07, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

DDT and Scientific American

Check me on the context of this quote, please:

"We are endorsing the use of DDT." {Scientific American, December 2005)

Is this an about face on using DDT to combat malaria, or what? --Uncle Ed 19:07, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Imageupload to commons?

Hi, Liface! Could you please upload your public domain pictures to commons so that they can be used in other languages of Wikipedia, too? For a translation of Poker tournament to de.wikipedia.org I'd like to use your photo pokertournament.jpg --Greetz, Constructor 06:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

sourcing skateboarding

Skateboarders in general are pretty bad about archiving their history. Thrasher magazine seems to be the most legitimate source and in the future I will refer to lot of pages from those to source the various skateboarding pages I've compiled work on. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nominay (talk • contribs).

Summary Legends

Thanks! I appreciate your comment.

Liface, I like to get creative with edit summaries. I've came up with my own style of editing. If you see:

Jill Hennessy-type error: Grammar error fixed. Jill Hennessy is an actress on the NBC nighttime drama Crossing Jordan. She used to play ADA Claire Kincaid on Law & Order from 1993-1996.

Jeff Hardy & Bam Margera-type/-like errors: Vandalism by an anon or a registered user defeated. (I've seen this many times). Sometimes at the end of vandalism notes, I'll write funny comments which involve Trivium lead vocalist Matt Heafy or Avenged Sevenfold lead vocalist M. Shadows, which I just used in the summary a few minutes ago on the skateboarding article. However, Jeff Hardy is a former WWE superstar in his mid-20s. Both were born two years apart, Jeff in 1977 and Bam in 1979.

Shannyn Sossamon (or Rachel McAdams)-like/type error: Spelling/punctuation error fixed. Shannyn Sossamon had a skateboarding scene in The Rules of Attraction. Rachel McAdams on the other hand starred in the 2004 film Mean Girls, which had a few skater girls in the film.

As you can see, when I provide an edit summary, I try to get people to just play along, as I put the real reason in parenthesis. Editing is very hard work. --D.F. Williams 18:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Little Caesar's complaint

Im sorry that you work for little Caesars and do not care about child labor laws. Commie. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.211.232.82 (talk • contribs).

SkateBoarder

Hi - Can you help? I want to edit SkateBoarder and change its title to 'skateboarder magazine'. At the moment it is confusing as the title gives no indication that the article is about a magazine. I can't find a way to edit the title, can you help? Thanks - Steve-g 16:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Ron Saxton

Hi, I'm also from Oregon. I happened to see your edit to the Ron Saxton article. Someone else put in a link to the Saxton Watch website, which you removed. I'm wondering why? Although it is anti Saxton, there's nothing that really says it's prohibited. Lots of other politicans who have articles about them in Wikipedia have links to sites critical of them.

Here are some noteable people and the sites about them:

Hillary Rodham Clinton [1] Newt Gingrich [2]]

Please let me know what your thoughts are on this. Davidpdx 07:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I apologize for confusing you with the person who actually removed the link. You may have noticed that the link was removed again and I restored it. I left a message on the person's talk page asking them to discuss it on the Ron Saxton talk page rather then reverting it. If you can, please make sure to have the Ron Saxton article on your watchlist (though I'm guessing you already do). If he posts something on the talk page, I encourage you to help me try to reason with him. Thanks for your help! Davidpdx 00:40, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Zoo York

Thank you for your concern and note.

I actually created a new page -- Zoo York Skateboard Company -- for the article about that commercial company. It is not compatible with the truth about Zoo York. Its creators "borrowed" the name, and know little or nothing of its origin and philosophy. I, on the other hand, was there at its inception in 1971, in the subway tunnel under the Central Park Zoo in New York City. Unlike the individuals who decades later incorporated the Zoo York Skateboard Company as a business enterprise, I know whereof I speak when it comes to this topic.

The Zoo York Skateboard Company is just that, the Zoo York Skateboard Company. Zoo York, on the other hand, was, is and always will be Zoo York.

Now I realize that in this Wikipedia forum, there must frequently emerge such squabbles, especially where there is money to be made. I want no money -- just the truth. I will never "vandalize" other articles in this wonderful free system; but I cannot and will not abide the combining of an original term defining one thing with a commercial concern cashing in on its legacy.

In order to avoid confusion by Wikipedia readers, I strongly suggest two separate articles, as I have rendered.... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dedonite (talk • contribs).

Ron Saxton

If he doesnt have Down Syndrome why does he have the classic features of it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 168.103.230.38 (talk • contribs).

Zoo York

Hey --

Thank you for your help! As you can see, I'm a new contributor to Wikipedia, although I'm hardly new to writing and research, being a professional in both fields -- and often in combination.

As a widely-bandied-about catch-phrase, now used by certain folks as a company name, "Zoo York" ought to have its history documented somewhere, in my opinion. Is this not the place? I ask this not facetiously, but in genuine concern that my efforts may be wasted here if what I write is not recognized as legitimate. I can site sources for certain facts concerning, say, the Central Park subway tunnel construction of 1971-73 and the character of the old City Zoo, but much of this article is, by necessity, anecdotal. Furthermore, many of the individuals involved with the true origin of "Zoo York" back in 1971 are no longer alive, thus have no voice here or anywhere else.

I, personally, lived this stuff -- I have in my personal possession early artwork by graffiti writer ALI (Marc Edmonds), which documents his earliest use of the term "Zoo York" in art, and I was planning to download it for this article/definition. Marc and I, along with Lenny McGur (FUTURA 2000) headed the Soul Artists throughout the 70s and 80s. Many surviving subway artists in NYC bristle at the abuse of ALI's brainchild by a bunch of self-described street-taggers -- not subway artists -- who co-opted his words for their own commercial use, and claim an origin in a fictional gang called "Soul Artists of Zoo York" based in Riverside Park. "Soul Artists of Zoo York" never existed; it's just a "bite" of both the Soul Artists and "Zoo York" -- names which were never linked as such by ALI, FUTU, CRUNCH or any of the old subway painters called the Soul Artists.

So there is conflict concerning the actual origin of "Zoo York" in usage. The tale the skateboard company spins is urban myth; what I am writing here actually happened.... But how to go about citing sources?

As I assured you before, I will never, ever, deface, erase, or in any other manner "vandalize" the work of others in Wikipedia. I wish to offer here a factual definition for "Zoo York" and credit it to its originator, Marc André Edmonds, who died a decade ago.

What can I do to render documentation to the satisfaction and best advantage of Wikipedia? I can't just write "I says it 'cause I knows it" here, now can I....

Thanks again for your kind attention to this rather arcane definition. -- John Cederquist ("dedonite")

you seem to be putting up good pictures

i would like to say that you have nice mpis up on wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Victorgrigas (talk • contribs).

Wikiproject Skateboarding

Hi, what is your progress on getting this thing started? I contributed some suggestios on the talk page (of Wikiproject) quite a while ago, but nobody seemed to notcie and I would really like to see some standard rules concerning skateboarding artices.--KoRnholio8 10:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Ohio Wesleyan University

OWU is very much affiliated with the U.M.Church, not loosely. It is historically and still a U.M. school. The President celebrates this affiliation. It is officially approved by the University Senate of the UMC. It is entirely appropriate to include it in this category. Thanks. Pastorwayne 18:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

  • This is a POV statement regarding the school. When does the president celebrate it when he is not even Methodist? I go to this school and its affiliation is only historic. The only person who remotely might share your POV opinion is the old chaplain, who, by the way, is very unpopular among the students and the faculty in the faculty meetings. Remrem 02:17, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
  • whether a school is affiliated with a Church is not a matter of if it is popular or not! It IS affiliated. Is a UM school -- always has been! Pastorwayne 18:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Magnet Trucks

Hi - I removed the edit to skateboard about 'turbo trucks' that work using magnets. I guess you think it should stay? I removed it because the trucks are only in a prototype stage and if we included all 'innovations' we'd have a very long page. I don't really want to argue the point, and I guess the info can stay, but should we include any invention? This one seems quite poorly thought out as it only works if the skater rolls forward. Steve-g 20:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

U Puget Sound

You say Puget Sound is NOT a U.M.C. school. Then WHY does the U.M. Church say it IS? Just because you see little sign of it does not make it not so. The U.M.C. says it IS a U.M. School. Please visit the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry of the U.M. Church for the definitive list [3] Thanks! Pastorwayne 18:40, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Ohio Wesleyan, Puget Sound, et al

  • the list at the General Board is accurate as of 19 September 2006!! Also affiliated and related, in this context, mean the same thing! Pastorwayne 18:50, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
