The above message is a generic template, and I see that you have some of those things down pat, but it does have some helpful stuff. Anyways, good to have another editor on board that is interested in WV articles. youngamerican (talk) 01:02, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Every little bit helps. youngamerican (talk) 02:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello there :) Great contributions to West Virginia as a whole. Do you know if there is a page dedicated to the Hatfield-McCoy trail system? I linked to a proposed page on Corridor G if none exists. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 01:33, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, that was what I was looking for! As for Beech Fork State Park, I don't have any current photos of that. Next time I am in the area I can try and grab one. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 03:35, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Robert Milligan McLane

John Kenney added the list to the article with this edit. I merely noted the fact that McLane was DNC chairperson after noticing it on the list when I was expanding his biography. You'll have to ask him where he got the list from, because I can't seem to find it on Google. --tomf688 (talk - email) 22:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The hoax template thing

Did everything work itself out ok? youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 12:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blackwater River (West Virginia) - thanks!

Hi WVhybrid, sorry I didn't respond to your earlier message (I'm easily distracted sometimes...) But big thanks for adding the great information to the Blackwater River article! I made a few very minor changes just now, mostly just adding a few wikilinks and taking a few away, but the information is useful and interesting and solidly-sourced, and I'm very appreciative of the addition. --Malepheasant 04:42, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Audra

Here ya go: http://www.audrastatepark.com/recreation.html

I hope this helps. Feel free to rewrite my mention of the remnants, if so desired. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 12:05, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

No worries. Not too long after you dicussed "foot in mouth" (which you were not guilty of btw, you just spotted a needed citations), I suffered from a serious case of said disease over naming conventions. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 00:01, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New River Trail

I'm a bit occupied in the Grand Canyon trail articles at the moment. What I looked up was nice, though and would make a good article. We need more thru-trails, on Wikipedia and on Earth! Notary137 05:40, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Catbird seat

Hi, I think you should still list whatever webpage you found about his daughter on Talk:Catbird seat; maybe others can dig up the reference. Cheers, AxelBoldt 19:32, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hawks Nest State Park

I think the redirect actually led to Hawk's Nest, West Virginia. It was decided long ago that there need not be an article on both the location and the state park, and that the best place for an article was at Hawks Nest. However, people started writing other articles on other places that happened to be called "Hawk's Nest" and whantnot. I still tend to think that there only needs to be one article to cover both the state park and its location, but I am totally open to revisiting the discussion over where it should be located. Cheers and keep up the good work on WV articles. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 12:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cropped image of your image

I wanted to let you know I have made a modified copy of one of your photos (Glade Creek Grist Mill.jpg). The cropped image will be eventually used as a clickable button on List of West Virginia state parks, that will click through to your original image description page. I cropped the image to fit it in the list table I am creating. You can see a draft version at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:WVhybrid/My_own_sandbox . The cropped version of your image can be seen on the irow for Babcock. State Park. WVhybrid 23:59, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Wonderful work so far! I'm glad my photo has found its use in a West Virginia-related article! Keep up the great work :) —UED77 17:31, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stonewall Jackson Lake photo

Nice picture of the dam at Stonewall Jackson Lake.

By any chance do you have any nice photos of the state park? If so, would you mind posting one at Stonewall Resort State Park? Thanks. WVhybrid 00:50, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't have any photos of Stonewall Jackson Resort SP, but I do have a number of photos of other West Virginia state parks, forests, and lakes that I'm working to upload.

[edit] Beech Fork SP

I haven't been ignoring you, I just don't make it out that way too much. But I'll see what I can do in the next few weeks about snapping a pic. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 13:11, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Audra state park

I thought they deleted a bunch of stuff too at first, but upon careful examination, there was no deletion, just moving some text that LOOKED like deletion due to the red markup in comparing versions. They basically made a new paragraph and clarified a word or two. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 22:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Now I'm a joiner

WVhybrid is a member of WikiProject KYOVA Region, a project which aims to coordinate work for and expand coverage of the Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia "tri-state" region. Please feel free to join the project.

[edit] Thank you for your message

I'm assuming it's appropriate to write here -- please forgive me if it is not, and chalk it up to ignorance, not malice. (There seems to be a lot of "first contact" going on here, at least on my part). I wanted to thank you for your message from earlier today. As is quite obvious, I am not well-versed in the ins and outs of Wikipedia communication (as well as other more technical aspects of the website). I have in the past resisted getting to know these ins and outs, preferring to treat the website as strictly a user-editable online encyclopedia. Nevertheless, as I've said before I respect the overall venture and as such I will try a bit harder to familiarize myself with the conventions attending Wikipedia generally.

As instructed, I'm leaving a four-tilde signature with the hope that I'm at least doing that the right way. 71.224.218.188 04:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beech Fork SP

The images have been taken. I need to sort them out, and then I'll upload a couple of the best. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 20:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] State park list

Has it had a peer review yet? They know more about featured standards than I.

BTW, the Beech Fork SP pics are up. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 02:01, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Does WV have a designation for "state parks" and "state resort" parks like Kentucky? The latter indicating that it has overnight lodging... Seicer (talk) (contribs) 04:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beech Fork pics

Touch them up if you wish, just don't make them look fake or too touristy. I'm a fan of warts-and-all realism, especially on Wikipedia.

Alos remeber that they are on the Wikimedia Commons and not on Wikipedia, so fix them up over there. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 14:04, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I just found it. It looks great. If you wish, you can upload it under the "new version of the file" on the original photo. This will prevent having the commons cluttered with two nearly identical images. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 14:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Done

I've uploaded your touched-up image at the original name (I have also given you credit for your touchup) of my old, bland versions and changed the links back to it. I have also put the "image A"s up for deletion as they are now redundant.

I did notice one minor point, however. I exclusively license my images on the GFDL and nothing else. Please do not add creative commons licensing to any of my photos, even if you do touch-ups on them, as I a pretty sure that I am still the author and it is still my call (I could be wrong about that however. Even if I am correct, I politely ask you to respect those wishes as professional courtesy).

So anyway, what did you use to touch the photo up? It is, quite frankly, awesome. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 14:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

No worries. So back to my question: what software makes them rock like that? youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 23:26, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
You already answered. :P I was scrambling to get the bird in before it flew away. I've got other pics that had the bird at a better angle, but didn't look as nice otherwise. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 23:28, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The 2000 Campaign=

Why did you delete the nominations section of the article? It was important.

[edit] copyvio

Post the link to the article and to the source from which it was ripped off and I'll check it out. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 00:57, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Done. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 02:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chirality

I left a note on my talk page, with best wishes, --Smokefoot 13:30, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pink Bridge Incident

Someone slapped up an AfD saying it was "per nom". Comments are welcome at Pink Bridge Incident. Thanks, Seicer (talk) (contribs) 15:49, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support! It is well appreciated and noted. Cheers Seicer (talk) (contribs) 05:14, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
