[edit] Frances FitzGerald photo
Hello David, and thanks for adding the photo of Frances FitzGerald -- and for all of the other photos you've contributed! Awesome. Keep up the great work!
I was wondering if you could supply some details for the caption, i.e. when & where the photo was taken, the occasion, whatever else may be relevant. I'm guessing it was some sort of recent bookstore event? Cgingold 13:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Hold on Evan Wolfson
Evan Wolfson was nominated for Good Article status. Earlier this week, I did a full review of the article, and found that it was close to a Good Article, but needed some work. I left extensive notes on the article's talk page. The hold will expire in a few more days, at which point the article will fail its nomination, and need to be renominated. I noticed that you have done extensive work on the article, and so I thought I would bring this to your attention. If you have any more questions about the review, or anything else, drop a note by my talk page. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 04:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] personal attacks, no thank you
hi david, please do not insert personal attacks on my talk page. they are uncivil. au revoir! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.112.7.212 (talk) 05:45, 1 April 2007 (UTC).
- Well, what were you expecting, him to jump up and say, 'omigosh, I was the putz all along!'? Look at his Talk Page edit history. Half the edits there are him removing what he feels are personal attacks. For some odd reason, he doesn't get that anything he does here is transparent - whether they want it to be or not. He's accruing an enormous amount of bad karma, and we don't want to be within a five-block radius when his paycheck comes due. Best to simply ignore him until he actually does something that affects your rep. If his edits are disruptive, or he violates 3RR again, have him violated. I am sure he is more familiar with the stick than the carrot. We know the deal, and that's half the battle. Chin up, Mister Man. Arcayne 06:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: User:71.112.7.212
At this point the best way to handle this user is to stop engaging him directly. By responding to his attacks and comments, you only encourage his behavior, and we all know, DNFTT: They only keep coming back to feed. If he returns post-block and continues the same behavior, simply notify the admin directly that blocked him last. If we all just ignore and escalate to the admins, he will eventually either have to comply or go away. Either is fine with me. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 01:58, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Photo Request
Hi David, I stumbled across your name on the WikiProject Photography page. I was wondering, can you fill photo requests for NYC related articles, I am soon to be working on putting together articles for Central Park West Historic District and have a number of buildings that would need photographed. Any help would be appreciated. IvoShandor 11:54, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

- Awesome. I have to compile the information, I don't know if you saw the article, it had the boundaries listed, basically its the entire strip from 61st to 97th street, I believe it basically entails every building in that stretch except 80 Central Park West, but as I said, I am working on compiling this information as well as expanding the article, some of the buildings already have articles and thus, likely, photos, so I will try to get you a thorough list. Thanks again, your help with this is greatly appreciated as the likelihood that I will visit New York anytime soon is very small. IvoShandor 12:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

- Okay. I have compiled the list, I hope it's not too much. See it: List of properties (Central Park West Historic District). A bunch of the buildings, according to my reference, didn't have names, if you find out otherwise please feel free to substitute the names for the buildings on the list that are identified by only their address. Thanks again for doing this and if that is too much just let me know and I will pick out some key structures, as I said, many of the buildings that already have articles have photos, though I am sure some of them could be better, that is not to say all of the stubbed buildings have photos though.

- Also note, that any of these buildings may have been torn down, so they may not be there. My ref was the original National Register of Historic Places nomination form, so it lists all of the properties that were there when the district was nominated in 1982. For instance, I just found out that the Mayflower Hotel is gone, being a New Yorker, you would know better than I. Thanks again sir. IvoShandor 06:34, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New photos
Thanks for the great new photos for Daniel Rodriguez. Great work David! Bob 03:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ooh, scary!
Somebody really has it in for you…imagine, the horror of citing a source by an anonymous author! What ever will we wikipedians do – surely we can't judge content on its own merits! -Pete 02:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] self-promotion
dear david
please do not include your name in image names. your name is irrelevant to the images and could be construed as self-promotion. i'm surprised this issue hasnt been addressed yet.

- That's a little ridiculous, but not unexpected from a person who I and others have had blocked multiple times for poor, contentious behavior. And this issue has come up (mostly by trolls) and it isn't self-promotion; especially considering that attribution is required for the photographs. If you need further clarification, please talk to JKelly. She has 15,000 edits and is a Wikipedia and Commons administrator. She can clear up any confusion you have (at least, as it pertains to this issue). lol. --David Shankbone 04:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
