[edit] Georgia Railroads

Thanks for the awesome updates on the A&WP and Georgia RR pages. You rock

[edit] Another real ky hick

I thought I was the only "real ky hick" around here. Great to see others around! Psy guy (talk) 20:13, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

I don't trust the Internet; therefore, I never talk in specifics, but I am from Southern KY. How about yourself? Psy guy (talk) 20:34, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kentucky State Highways

I am belated in my welcoming you to the Kentucky State Highways project. I had slowed down on the project while monitoring some other similar projects being pelted with AfDs, TfD and CfD nominations. I think they have started to die down. Your extensive editing on the Parkway system has been invaluable.  ;-). I hope you liked the signage I created. I did them with MS-Paint, so they could have been better!! Anyhow, please let me know how I can help you complete the named parkways, if your still interested, and we'll have a nice portion of the project fixed up! >: Roby Wayne Talk • Hist • E@ 23:48, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Foster Brooks

Thanks a million for your great contributions to the Foster Brooks article. The article now seems to be a much more complete tribute to this fine man. Cheers! Stevietheman 19:57, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind remarks. Oddly enough, the subject of Foster Brooks came up while I was poking around about his brother, "Cactus Tom" Brooks, and his work on WHAS-TV and the Crusade for Children. One thing led to another, as it often does with me and Wikipedia. :-)

[edit] General Jackson (riverboat)

General Jackson (riverboat) has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt the subject might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability for the relevant concerns. An example of notability guidelines can be found at Wikipedia:Notability (websites). If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus.

[edit] Western Hills Mall

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Western Hills Mall, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Western Hills Mall. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] AfD Nomination: Western Hills Mall

I've nominated the article Western Hills Mall for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Western Hills Mall satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Western Hills Mall. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Western Hills Mall during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion.

[edit] Image:Mikeprice.jpg

Hey Realkyhick . There is a lively debate about use of promo photos on wikipedia. My name is Jeff and I Do not support the interpretation of WP:FU as implemented by user's like User:Chowbok. They believe that Wikipedia should be free of all promotional photos that are "replaceable with an equivalent" (i.e. an amateur photo from flickr). Their rationale is being debated in many places, and take it a step further believing that all promo photos should be deleted and let someone else deal with finding and uploading a free alternative.

And many other places I've no doubt missed.

I and many others who support use of fair use promotional photos have not been successful in changing the actions of Chowbok and rampant deletion and changing of many hundred's of useful images from Wikipedia articles continues. One good example is the Jennifer Granholm article which had a great promo photo replaced by a terrible photo. I seek to raise the profile of this issue through challenging promotional photos on high profile article's like this one. I'm sorry, really I am, but fair use policy as implemented by Chowbok has left me with few viable options.

I invite you to join the battle for Promotional Photo usage on Wikipedia and the protection of Fair Use concepts. --Jeff 08:06, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
