[edit] Idaho-bio-stub

Hi - I see you have recently created a new stub type. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. In the case of your new creation, stub types ar not made for biographies on a subnational region basis except in cases where a person is significantly tied to a particular place by virtue of their occupation (such as politician-stubs) - instead, they are divided first by nation and then by occupation. the reason for this is that people tend to move around between regions, resulting in considerable use of large numbers of templates. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any reason why this stub type should not be proposed for deletion at WP:SFD. And please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 02:57, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the information and comments concerning the NRHP photos. Your list of places needing photos and your road trip discussion is interesting. I'm planning on taking care of the Brevard entries as soon as I have some free time. I'm not real familiar with WikiCommons, I'll have to take a look at that. Fl295 19:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks and a question....

Hey, thanks for fixing the template up for me; I wasn't even thinking of adding anything like that, but it sure is helpful. Hopefully, if no one else is working on the WP Del page, I should have it up and running (at least minimally) by the end of the week.

On a side-note, I was reading your userpage and the places you've visited, and I'm sorry to be nosy, but what brought you to Pedricktown? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by EaglesFanInTampa (talk • contribs) 19:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

You're quite welcome. I created the templates for all the non-existent state WikiProjects whilst I was assessing articles for WP:NRHP, in hopes they'd eventually be needed. So when one is birthed, I like to update them to be more specifically useful. Some projects don't rate their articles, which is why I didn't add the rating system initially. If you need more help fiddling with the template, gimme a shout and I'll see what I can do. :)

Well, yeah, it's a bit nosy, but I don't mind; it's kind of an occupational hazard with Wikipedia, doncha think? :) Anyway, I took a two-week roadtrip with my mum back in '04. The general route was from here in Florida to the outskirts of the Smokies in North Carolina, then to Nashville, followed by Kentucky and Ohio (Newark particularly, b/c it's where we stopped). Thence through West Virginia and visited an acquaintance in Allentown. After that to Pedricktown, to visit relatives of Mom's, whom we hadn't seen in years. Both my folks are from Philly, and some folks from both sides are in New Jersey as well. After that, it was down the Delmarva Peninsula and over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, then down I-95 back to Florida.

What was that? For me, that was the short answer! *lol* --Ebyabe 20:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Thinking ahead, I like that. Hey, who knows about the rating system; it might come in handy yet!

The reason I asked about P-town is, as I'm sure you know, it's only 1700 stong, and with not even a traffic light, no one ever vacations there. The thing is, as irony has it, I moved from P-town 4 years ago next Friday (lived on a 200 acre farm on Perkintown Rd. for 20 years) to St. Pete. So, chances are probably 95% that I know whomever you visited since everyone knew everyone else. Small world, isn't it? And to think, I thought I was the only one who knew where that place was. World's shrinking by the day! EaglesFanInTampa (formerly Jimbo) 02:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

Hey, I was wondering if when you're assessing IL Registered Places, could you just match the WikiProject Illinois assessment to the NRHP one?A mcmurray (talk • contribs) 03:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Now ya tell me; I'm just about done! Well, there's about a dozen left, but that'll do... ;)

Only reason I didn't is b/c I was only rating the NRHP project related info. So something I rate, say, 'stub' for the project might be 'start' (or even 'B') for Illinois, doncha know. Plus you know I tend to rate low, so my 'stub' might be someone else's 'B'. Which is one of the reasons I didn't add 'importance' to the template. The interstate rivalry would be ker-razy! :O

Btw, I know I've not said, but buckets of thanks and appreciation for all the work you've done, and continue to do. And congrats on the GA for the Glidden House. You da man, man! Better watch out, or they make you an administrator (eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!). Oh, I see you're wikibonked. Well, no surprise there; you deserve a rest. :)

Take a peek at my main userpage, when you get a chance, for the new userbox I did. It's right below the Antarctica Highways WikiProject one. Think you'll appreciate it. ;) --Ebyabe 03:34, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

And hey, who're you calling a crappy band?! Hope you at least like these guys. :) --Ebyabe 03:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I suppose I can tolerate them, unlike Journey. : ). Thanks for the thanks. Eeeek. Adminsitrator. Maybe. I will have several other projected related article up soon, I saw the B classes on several of the historic places articles I did, so I will be working to get them up to GA, from which I don't think they are too far.

Great infobox btw. Hahahaha. I may have to jack that one from your user page. The Department of Fun should be notified immmediately. ;).A mcmurray (talk • contribs) 04:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Wonder if you could assess a couple of articles for me, Chana School and Oregon Commercial Historic District? All part of my ongoing project to figure out which articles will be easiest to bring up to GA for this and the Illinois project. Thanks ahead of time. IvoShandor 11:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Maybe this one: Round Barns in Illinois Thematic Resources too. Also, about the titles, would Multiple Property Submission work better for all of them instead of confusing the issue with outdated titles? I would like to disinclude it altogether but that really wouldn't work considering the article isn't about every round barn in Illinois, just specific ones.IvoShandor 11:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, you would have to ask about those. I've been avoiding those last few, as I'm having trouble deciding whether to rate them "Start" or "B". Just remember, I'm kinda cruel on the ratings, so my "Start" might be another's "B". Look at Jesse Hall, for example. I'm probably gonna rate it a "Start", but WikiProject Columbia rates it a "B". Go figure.

As to the naming, I'd use whatever they're submitted as. I did one a while back, San Jose Estates Thematic Resource Area, as is. Just mention in the article body somewhere about the MPS thing and it should be OK.

Later on, "Ivo". ;) --Ebyabe 13:42, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

 : ). Ah yes. Anonymity being important, I figured I should. Also, your harshness is why I wanted you to rate them. : ) IvoShandor 13:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

And Jesse Hall is no B.IvoShandor 13:48, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New NRHP Collaboration Division

(Message generated via copy and paste, sorry for the impersonal delivery, but I am hitting up all members. So check it!) Hey, saw you were a participant in the National Register of Historic Places WikiProject. I thought I would let you know that there is a new Collaboration Division up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to Good article standard or higher. There is a simple nomination process, which you can check out on the division subpage, to make sure each candidate for collaboration has enough interested editors. This is a good way to get a lot of articles to a quality status quickly. Please consider participating. More details can be seen at the division subpage. IvoShandor 11:05, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
