[edit] June Meetup in New York
Hi, I noticed you are characterized as a New Yorker so perhaps you might be in the NYC area in June. If you are interested we are having a meetup for Wikipedians in June in NYC. Take a peek at this and please tell any other Wikipedians that you think might be interested in participating about this event. Thanks. Alex756 02:25, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Prospect Park (Brooklyn) infobox
I'm getting the data for the infoboxes from the National Register Information System, which is available at the National Register of Historic Places web site. I downloaded the database to my PC and created a SQL query that checks the data and creates an infobox.
The year of construction comes from a table that lists the significant year of construction. I checked the data a little further and found that there are two significant years listed. One of them is 1865, which is probably the year that construction started. The other significant year is 1917, which, as you mentioned, was the year that the La Fayette monument was built. It looks like my query was returning only the last year that it found. I'll change it so it only gets the first significant year listed for a property.
Thanks for pointing this out. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 14:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reverting vandalism and a new message
I just reverted some vandalism to this page by I AM THE FIRSTLORD GEKKO. He seemed a bit upset that you speedied his article. (Sucks to be him, I guess.)
By the way, I did a query of the National Register of Historic Places database for buildings and developments architected by Frederick Law Olmsted. The results are at User:Elkman/Olmsted, so if you're ever interested in doing more articles about his projects, there's a place to look. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 03:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: proposed deletion of High Moon Studios
Hi, I'm 209.213.90.250.
I do have an account, but occasionally I forget to log into it.
It wasn't clear to me who was the primary author on the article, since no one had inserted any comments on talk for it. I guess that I could assure you that I don't have an axe to grind, but presumably that would carry little weight. I was just updating Sierra's page based on their recent aquisition of Wanako, and then followed the links for the other studios and noted that this particular article's tone was all wrong.
Obviously, I need to 1. Remember to sign-in in the future, 2. More agressively review the diffs on the article to determine who initiated the edits that resulted in the items that I took issue with. The article does need revision at the least, but ATM I don't have time to do it :(

[edit] Rhodes the Molly
You're very persuasive and I now agree with your plan--with the proviso that the Rhodes article be kept permanently. The main reason is we need an anchor that's heavily fact-oriented and has been vetted by professional editors of the American Historical Review, because of the intense POV that seems to surround this topic.Rjensen 22:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Gosgood - I've unblocked this user, per request. I'll keep an eye on him; maybe he needs more time to acclimatise himself to the way things work around here. – Riana talk 14:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
