[edit] Department stores

Hey, thanks for the help on the Parisian rewrite. Let's talk sometime about working on some other department store stuff. Scottporch 18:23, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Memphis article

Traveler, I wanted to drop a note of thanks for your work on the Memphis article. Your edits are definitely improving it. :) - Jersyko talk 18:00, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Arkansas Highway 100

I caught your revisions on Arkansas Highway 100, adding the Maumelle segment. Good work! US 71 19:15, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! It's just up the hill from where I live, so how could I not add it? — ArkansasTraveler 20:31, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Battlestar Galactica

Please check out my comment in the discussion section of the BSG article. (Revised series) — Unsigned comment from 141.161.69.157 at 23:23, January 18, 2006 (UTC).

[edit] re: Veronica Mars

Thanks... it was looking pretty messy. I'm hoping that if enough good work gets put into it we might be able to make it a featured article before long - anything I can do to raise the profile of one of TV's most under-rated shows. Still a long way away from that yet, though. - dharmabum (talk) 21:42, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Goldsmith's

Nice work on the Goldsmith's page. Now if I could just keep others from trying to delete what I added all the time. There's a big debate over deletion of my entry on Riverbend Mall. I'd love to see a history of D.H. Holmes in New Orleans. Glad you enjoyed the Rich's page that I greatly expanded. I would have loved to have photographed Goldsmith's like I did with Rich's, but Rich's was quite difficult at that. You see some of what I have there on Wiki, which was originally intended for my currently defunct Rich's tribute website.

[edit] Minor edits?

Hi, I saw your recent changes to the Riverchase Galleria page. I appreciate your help in improving the article. I also see that this, and most of your other contributions, are marked as minor ones. Keep in mind that "minor" implies trivial changes only, such as typo corrections, formatting and presentational changes and rearranging of text without changing any content. If that's what you've been doing, then great! Please ignore my comment. If you've been making non-minor edits, then I recommend you review Help:Minor edit to determine when minor edits should and shouldn't be used. If you didn't realize that your edits were all being tagged as minor, you can change your settings (using the edit tab under "my preferences") to uncheck "Mark all edits minor by default". Thank you for your contributions to wikipedia! ClarkBHM 15:38, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the flag!

I've never been to Pinnacle Valley, but my wife grew up in Jasper, Arkansas and I have been there many times. NawlinWiki 01:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Sci Fi Channel (United States) programs

Ello there, Arkansas Traveller.. I'd rather like for you to give your input on the future of List of Sci Fi Channel (United States) programs since it may invariably suffer the same fate as Other films aired on The SciFi Channel, so please do so if time permits. I feel it a rather pertinant piece of information concerning the Sci Fi Channel, and its demise may compromise the article in its entirety. DrWho42 05:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations on the mention in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette!

I'd meant to thank you for your work on behalf of improving Arkansas articles (I've run into you on the Cabot page, for instance) and thought I'd finally do it now that you're famous! Congratulations on your quote in the paper - InvictaHOG 11:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Aw, shucks! All in a day's diversion from work! -- ArkansasTraveler 18:58, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My revert

Hi, I'm not trying to cause any offense but i reverted your colour changes, while they are inspired they are really bad sorry. They dont blend well or go well with text and have no cohesion. Please dont be offended. Matthew Fenton (contribs) 21:33, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

O.k, I've used your previous edits and changed the template using some of your colours minus the yellow, i think it is nicer and easier to read now[1]. Matthew Fenton (contribs) 18:35, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Conway ar city seal.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Conway ar city seal.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 14:25, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ANTM Promo Images

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that there's a big discussion going on about the ANTM images (including the initial promo shot, the individual photo shoots, images of the judges, etc.). So I've been keeping an eye on each of these pages, and I've seen that you've got them on your sub-pages. Unfortunately, Fair Use images cannot be used in the User: namespace. So I'm going to go ahead and replace them with links to the actual images by putting a ':' at the front of the link. This is especially important while that discussion is taking place. Let me know if you have any questions! tiZom_(2¢) 18:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article in need of cleanup - please assist if you can

[edit] Brooks-Baxter War

hey, I'm working on the Brooks-Baxter War article and trying to get it featured. I was wondering if you would read it over and see if there was anything wrong with it. Thanks man. — Unsigned comment from: The stuart, 20:04, December 13, 2006

I'll see what I can do, as I appreciate work on Arkansas history. In the meantime, please don't forget to sign your posts on talk pages. Thanks! — ArkansasTraveler 15:40, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Macy's History Template

That template I believe only accounts for direct conversions. What about stores that indirectly converted such as stores converted to Marshall Fields or Kaufmanns. You can get a good start on indirect conversions by looking on What links here for each store if you want to account for indirect conversions. TonyTheTiger 01:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

P.S. do you think you should add this template to the Federated page? TonyTheTiger 01:57, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I am in the process of setting up templates for conversions to predecessors to Macy's as well. So far, templates have been set up for Hecht's, Foley's, Filene's, and Robinsons- May. As for why I haven't included the template on the Federated page, I suppose it could go there, but it really seems to fit the Macy's page more directly, as the Federated page accounts for both Macy's and Bloomingdale's. -- ArkansasTraveler 02:12, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Lrseal.gif, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 17:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Nikkigriffin.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Nikkigriffin.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Yamla 17:40, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Nikkigriffin.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Nikkigriffin.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 17:40, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mississippi Project

I have contributed to the Mississippi project, just wanted to let you know that I will be chiefly working on it as my main Wiki Project since I am a citizen of the State and will work to improve information regarding her :)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:WildOatsMarketplace2006.png)

[edit] AfD nomination of List of Veronica Mars cast members: A

I've nominated List of Veronica Mars cast members: A, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that List of Veronica Mars cast members: A satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Veronica Mars cast members: A and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of List of Veronica Mars cast members: A during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Entire alphabet has been listed. Improbcat 18:47, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
