[edit] Mark Belling

I noticed you improved the Mark Belling article by explaining his significance (frequently number one in his time-slot, has substituted for Limbaugh) as suggested by the Template:Explain-significance that was on the stub. Currently there's a discussion about actually deleting this template, at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion. Would you feel like saying a few words in the template's defense there? -- Antaeus Feldspar 11:53, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Good job

I've noticed that you've been active in recent days on articles concerning Wisconsin and Milwaukee. Although I'm too busy at the moment with other topics to create a wikiproject on the state, which might help us all focus on Wisconsin-related articles, I wanted to let you know that your contributions haven't gone unnoticed, and I applaude your contributions. Cheers. --BaronLarf 20:29, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment regarding Wisconsin articles. You're right, a Wisconsin/Milwaukee Wikiproject is in order someday. I created the Milwaukee article many moons ago, so I have tried to stay with it somewhat. (It was more of a shell or list, but prior to that all the page talked about was beer and partying...) I have seen your editing at the Milwaukee article; hope you can continue in between your other contributions. Keep up the good work! HollyAm 21:52, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Wow... I hadn't done enough research into your contributions. I see you took about a three year wikibreak from mid-October 2002 until mid-May of 2005. Well, welcome back! :^) --BaronLarf 22:19, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
Okay, I started a project at Wikipedia:WikiProject Wisconsin, but it's only in its beginning stages. You're welcome to join and give any input you have. Cheers. --BaronLarf 04:11, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chicago

Hi. As you seem to be interested in Chicago, I just wanted to let you know about WikiProject Chicago. Our goal is to improve the quality of the Chicago and Chicago related articles. In doing so, we hope Chicago will become a featured article. To read more or join us in our efforts, please see the WikiProject Chicago page. Thanks!

[edit] Chicago Main Page Picture Vote

Hi Holly, thank you for supporting my picture on Talk:Chicago, Illinois. I have now added my picture as an official choice. I would appreciate it if you go back and vote for my picture (Picture #4) in the voting area for that picture. Thanks! Shoffman11 23:08, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chicago Picture Vote

Hi, I noticed that you have made comments regarding the vote for the Chicago main page picture. As you might have seen, User:Shoffman11 interpreted your comment as a vote, which I reverted as I saw it as not a vote but just a comment voiceing support for the image. Therefore, you no longer have a recorded vote on the page, and I invite you to go back and officially vote for whichever picture you prefer. Thanks, --Gpyoung talk 21:52, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chicago municipality infoboxes

Great job on adding those infoboxes! It's certainly a time consuming task and I'm glad to see you took time to find all that info. One thing concerning the townships, the way I understand it, a municipality may span serval township borders, but unlike with counties, they only affiliate themselves with one township. If I'm completely wrong here let me know but I'm fairly sure about this. I'll call a few township supervisors about this tomorrow to make sure. — oo64eva (Alex) (U | T | C) @ 00:53, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Man Hours

Hi HollyAm, Have just been looking at your edits to man hours and learning a bit. I'm very new, UK based, but do teach in this subject area. So yes, I've already had a go at Wikifying it. I'm glad there was as little wrong as you seem to have found, but I've learned from what you did find. I still feel this item needs some decent References though, and I plan to check out my US and UK text books to see what I can suggest, at least from an engineering perspective. (Ynysgrif 01:22, 3 August 2005 (UTC))

[edit] BaronLarf's RFA

HollyAm — Thanks for you support on my recent RFA. Please let me know if I can help with any particular administrative responsibilities, or if you have any problems with the way I use the admin tools. I look forward to continuing to working with you on WP:WPWI. :^) Cheers. --BaronLarf 00:51, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jesse White(s)

Kudos. Now, the Big Question: Are you old enough to remember actor Jesse White? Wahkeenah 00:07, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

If you like old movies, watch the Jimmy Stewart classic "Harvey". Jesse has a small supporting role as a kind of smart-alecky worker at a mental hospital, i.e. a "man in a white coat". The way he played that was typical of his character roles. I'll see what I can do about adding something to his page.  :) Wahkeenah 01:00, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Social Technology

Dear friend,

Thank you for redirecting my article on Social Technology and marking it as a stub. I will try and extend this in the next few days. I am adding a section today.

I feel like Alice in Wonderland. Please correct any mistakes that I make. I have lot to learn yet.

[edit] A Question

Hi. Thanks for the welcome. I had a question about "editing" a page. If a page has the note on top that it needs to be cleaned up, what does that mean? Should I just try to do a general copy edit or is it more than that?

"This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. This article has been tagged since August 2005"

[edit] Request

Dear friend,

I need to post this message where many people can read it. Can you please tell me how to do this.

Best regards Nirupma Kapoor

neeray 15:19, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Dear folks,

Please, if you know of any one who has fought against “Poorly differentiated embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma“, or has a child suffering from this disease, request them to mail me at nirupama.kapoor@gmail.com

I know this young teenager who is fighting very bravely against this disease. The original malignant tumors have disappeared. Now there is a follow up every 3 months.

Is there any thing that can be done to prevent recurrence?

I have gone through the material on the net. It is mostly technical, meant for doctors. I need to get in touch with people who have won against this or are fighting against this. We need practical advice.

I hope and pray that no child ever suffers from this disease. If you have children or teenagers around, please ask them to inform you of any unusual growth or lumps. Early detection increases the chance of cure. Growing children may be painfully sensitive and shy. Please encourage them to communicate.

Please pass this message to as many people as possible.

Thanking you, Nirupma Kapoor

Dear Splash and HollyAm,

Thank you, I do understand. I think I have found two very good and compassionate people on Wikipedia.

He is under proper medical care at one of the best hospitals in India. He has had chemo and radiotherapy for a year. He is fine now and has to go for follow ups every 3 months.

The disease is not very common and the real danger is recurrence. That is why we are trying to get in touch with people who have been through this. I am going to try the group that you have suggested.

He is 16 now, very creative, very brave. He paints and writes very well. He is now preparing for his class 10 National Level examinations.

Please rest assured that we will not take any step without consulting the doctors.

Thanking you, Nirupma Kapoor

[edit] Governors of Wisconsin-

There is an important correction concerning the list of Governors of Wisconsin:Governor Julius Heil was not succeeded by Walter Goodland in 1942.Orland Steen Loomis defeated Julius Heil;however,Loomis died before he took office.The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Goodland having been reelected Lieutenant Governor would acting governor during Loomis's term.The Wisconsin Blue Book listed Orland Steen Loomis among the list of Wisconsin's governors but without numbering him.Also a biography of Orland Loomis is included in the Wisconsin Blue Book 1960.I did do an article about Orland Steen Loomis.Thank you- Richard Dungar-

Richard, thanks for this information, and your work on Wisconsin articles in general. I hesitate to put Loomis in the table of governors since he never took office, but maybe we could have a footnote after Goodland's name, explaining that Loomis was governor-elect and Goodland was ruled acting governor upon his death. What do you think? HollyAm 17:18, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Okay, I went ahead and did that to show you what I was thinking; have a look. HollyAm 17:34, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] tl|Uncategorized

I've noticed your good work at Category:Category needed, and kudos for that. Thanks for the message, but I'll give you the same response I have made previously. A basic rule at Wikipedia:Template namespace is that "Templates that provide information only of service to editors belong on an article's talk page." {{Uncategorized}} is unquestionably more meant for editors than readers, and thus should go on the talk page. - SimonP 21:18, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] cleaning up

I've been noticing you are being kind to some of the entries that I would question as to their place in wiki! thanks for what youre doing anyways, I do hope I havent given you a hard time by my random search 'cleanup' tags vcxlor 03:54, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lake Forest High School (Illinois) references

Hi, HollyAm! Thank you for adding some much-needed references to the alumni section. I did spend a fair amount of time poking around on their website without finding anything, but now that I know it's there, it's suddenly easy to find. :) Thanks again! HorsePunchKid 2005-10-21 03:28:46Z

[edit] hey thanks!

Hey HollyAm! Thanks for your support on my RfA. The final outcome was (57/4/3), so I am now an administrator. If you need help, have a question, or just want to chat (or if I get out of line!), please don't hesitate to let me know! Again, thanks! :D

[edit] Necedah Shrine

Hi Holly-I added a link to the Necedah Shrine article about the Diocese of La Crosse views of Mrs. Mary Van Hoof's visions of the [[Blessed Virgin Mary]].The link finally took hold, but after I had tried to experiment in the sandbox.However,it is not completely right.I needed to balance the Necedah Shrine article out.The Necedah Shrine is one of the many reasons Roman Catholic Bishop Raymond Leo Burke had founded the [[Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe]] in La Crosse,when he headed the Diocese of La Crosse. Would you please go to the Necedah Shrine and see if you could fix the link about the apparitions of the the Blessed Virgin Mary?It still not right. Thank you-RFD 14:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Raymond Leo Burke

Hi Holly-Many thanks for the help with the Necedah Shrine article.I hope additional information on the Necedah Shrine will provide some sort of balance.You may want to look at the Raymond Leo Burke article;I wrote some comments about the Guadalupe and Necedah Shrines.I do need some minor editing on the Raymond Leo Burke article;I wikified some additional items in the article.One of them is about the Cathedral of St. Joseph in La Crosse.There is an article about the Cathedral a stub in Wikipedia,but when I wikified this,it remain red and did not turn blue thus registering the article about the Cathedral of St. Joseph in La Crosse.Help!What went wrong? Thanks again for your help. RFD 22:32, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wausau

thanks for the edit help. i was planning on going back and doing it, but got caught up with things. as far as the images are concerned on official city sites, as long as they are used in an information/educational way, the city usualy doesn't have a problem with it. that has been the case, at least, with the houston page that i have been working on. i didn't see any copyright info on the city of wausau's website. maybe it should be confirmed that its okay to use those images...i also wish there was a better picture database that can be used. the downtown image, unfortuntely, is the best image i have found so far compared to others... Urban909

[edit] Raymond Leo Burke

Hi Holly!This is a SOS on the Archbishop Raymond Leo Burke article.First of all,I added a sentence about the Archbishop growing up in Stratford,Wisconsin. However,people are hijacking the article cocerning St. Stanislaw parish problem. Therefore,I recommended the following: 1.The Archbishop Burke should be reverted to the neutral point of view especially with the St Stanislaw problem 2.The Archbishop Raymond Leo Burke should be protected until these editing wars,etc.,are resolved.Thanks-RFD 18:48, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mel Laird-

Hi Holly-Mel Laird lived in Marshfield not Stevens Point so I made the change.Also the Marshfield Clinic has the Melvin Laird Center and I put in the external link in the articles about Marshfield,Wisconsin and Mel Laird.On the Archbishop Burke article,it is still a mess.I hope a adminisrator will step in.Archbishop Burke is not very popular in St. Louis or La Crosse. Thanks-RFD 15:24, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Many Thanks

Hi Holly!Happy New Year.Many thanks for your comments. Bishop Burke is very controversial especially with the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse.He also reorganized the catholic school system in the La Crosse Diocese.One item of note:reportedly,Pope Benedict XVI is rumored to create Cardinals sometime this year.Most of the Archbishops of St Louis were created Cardinals. Stay tune.Again many thanks-Holly,RFD 20:54, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Diocese of Madison-

Hi Holly-Many thanks for creating the articles about the Dioceses of Superior&Green Bay.I did tried to write an article about the Diocese of Superior in late October(???), but it got stuck for it never took hold. I made a change in the Diocese of Madison article.Pope Pius XII formerly erected the diocese in January of 1946.However,Bishop McGavick of the La Crosse Diocese got a private telegram in December of 1945 from the papal nuncio.To make up for the lost territory,the Diocese of La Crosse got Portage County(Stevens Point) from the Green Bay Diocese,hence the confusion in the Madison Diocese article about receiving territory from the Green Bay Diocese.If you have time,would you please wikified the counties mention in the Madison Diocese article.Thanks-RFD 18:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hezekiah Smith

Thank you for the help with Hezekiah Bradley Smith. Its a great story. How did you come across the article? (preceding unsigned comment by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ))

[edit] merging of "consentual reality"

You merged an article without any discussion what-so-ever? I actually have reasons for making them two separate articles. (Signed: J.Smith) 06:09, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Replied on user's talk page. HollyAm

[edit] Wausau

you need to give better reasons for deleting pictures. city websites do not mind the use of their photos as long as its used for informational reasons, such as this site... The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.240.99.8 (talk • contribs) 16:47 Jan 17, 2006.

Are you the uploader User:Urban909, or simply an anonymous user? In either case...First, thanks for the information, but since I am not a copyright expert it would help if you could give a reference for the assertion you made about city websites. Second, for clarity, understand that I did not delete the images; an administrator did. So s/he must have agreed with the the reason. And that reason was, that the images had no source and no copyright information listed on the image's description page. If an image is OK to use, the user should articulate why on the images' description page. This is done in part with image tags. As a courtesy, I notified User:Urban909 of this but apparently the user did not go back and add the info to the images' pages as now they are deleted. Wikipedia is being careful to ensure its content does not violate others' copyright. HollyAm 02:10, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episcopal Church in Wisconsin-etc.

Hi Holly!Welcome back! As you can see I started the articles concerning the 3 Episcopal Dioceses in Wisconsin.Why stop at the Roman Catholic Church.The user Rockhopper who knows about the Episcopal Church was a big help. Also I started articles on Alvin Baldus and William A. Steiger.There is an article about his wife Janet Dempsey Steiger, but none of her husband-Bill Steiger. Finally, I started an article about Ken Behring, because, he grew up in Monroe, Wisconsin. Again, my thanks for the help and encouragement you give people including myself with Wikipedia.RFD 13:52, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite)

Hi Holly- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite) have their headquarters in Burlington, Wisconsin ,so I added the church to the Religion in Wisconsin category. In the Wisconsin Territorial governors section I made a minor change and Nathaniel P. Tallmadge is now included.All of Wisconsin's territorial and state governors are now included.Thank you-RFD 13:06, 31 January 2006 (UTC) PS-I also added Voree, Wisconsin article to the Category:Churches in Wisconsin.Thanks-RFD 16:45, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I added a website about Voree, Wisconsin.It is an very interesting website.I also added the same one to the Burlington, Wisconsin article along with the Burlington Chamber of Commerce website.RFD 15:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Angus Cameron-

I started an article about Angus Cameron who was in the United States Senate from Wisconsin.Thanks-RFD 23:05, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Davidson copyright violation

Hi Holly,

User:Mortalseraphim reinserted the material on the Scottish clan Davidson that you had removed as a copyright violation. I see that it's taken verbatim from the ScotClans site, but I couldn't find a copyright notice there. If you're sure this is copyrighted, please remove it again and make a note on the talk page. Joriki 08:22, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wisconsin Territory-Delegates to Congress-

I started articles about Morgan Lewis Martin and John Hubbard Tweedy who were delegates to Congress from Wisconsin Territory.The articles can always be expanded.I figure just to complete the Congressional delegation from Wisconsin Territory, since there only 2 of them.Thanks207.230.211.19 12:29, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Sorry-I forgot to log in!RFD 12:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC) I added an article about Gardner R. Withrow;he was in Congress and was born in La Crosse, Wisconsin. RFD 14:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Tags

It's nice to see that you put clean up tags on articles, however if you are going to do so, I suggest you make darn sure you put something about it in the article's talk page. It isn't helpful if you just go around tagging articles with no explination. It would be much appreciated if you would write in the article's talk page. Anonym1ty 15:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Abner Race

Hi I added 2 articles:John Abner Race who was in Congress for 1 term until he got beated by William A. Steiger and an article about St Paul's Episcopal Cathedral in the Episcopal Diocese of Fond du Lac.Thanks-RFD 14:57, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] comment request

Since you're the only one who took the time to comment on the friendly dispute I had with Dhmachine31 on Template talk:Eau Claire, Wisconsin, I was wondering if you could review the issue and then look over the changes I've made to the templates (I haven't done Duluth, Madison or Milwaukee yet...they're gonna be real pains...) and comment somewhere. Thanks for your time. Tomertalk 02:06, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Are you OK? Tomertalk 21:04, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi HollyAm. I see that you're probably taking a wikibreak, like I did for about seven months. Too bad that I came back from mine about a month after you left; coincidentally, I was spurred to come back after Tshilo12 (Tomer) left me a message on my talk page asking if I knew where you were. Hope everything it going well for you, and we look forward to working with you again whenever the wikibug bites again. --BaronLarf 16:20, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Holly-I hope you are doing well-RFD 18:11, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I was actually more than just a little concerned...not to be morbid, but if I'd known your real name, I'd have searched the obits. :-\ I'm more than glad you're back, I'm outright relieved!  :-) If you look at my contribs, you'll see I've been less than stellarly-active myself of late, but that's what happens when a woman [yay!] and a job [yay!] start taxing your time.  :-D Anyhoo, I'm happy to hear you're alright, and your family member, and look forward to seeing more of you around here again in the future.  :-) Cheers, Tomertalk 03:27, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I just remembered that though Firstar changed it's retail branches to that name in 1992, they did change the corporate name in 1988. Thanks for clearing that up, I remember the changeover but I forgot they changed from First Wisconsin to Firstar four years earlier, I misread the sentence. Thanks for clarifying.

[edit] request for help

I'm not sure if you're around to help, but a couple of people hijacked the Snuh page, specifically the UseNet reference part. I think this page explains it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_neologisms_on_The_Simpsons#Boni

How can they call a vote to merge the page, lose the vote, yet change the page anyway?

I'm a total Wiki n00b, I'd appreciate your help. I can be emailed at h0plibbb_oili@hotmail.com . Thanks in advance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.140.225.62 (talkcontribs) 07:27, July 7, 2006.

Hi. A look at the contributions of the folks voting "oppose" about the SNUH merge here shows that they (basically) have no history at Wikipedia. "Votes" from such entities may be discounted. The last person who voted "oppose" obviously meant to support the merge, or at least a merge. So, I would have to say it seems that this merge was supported by at least four and opposed by no one of permanence in the Wikipedia community. HollyAm 03:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marc Bell

Hi, way back on 2005-09-03T17:08:42 you edited the Marc Bell II. Before it contained "Marc Bell", and you modified it to "Marc Bell II". Do you recall what information you had for this? Or was that the article namespace? I ask, because I fear that it could be false information, and this article should be moved into the Marc Bell space, or at the very least the Marc Bell (artist) space. Please validate your reasoning for adding "II" on the talk page, thanks.

[edit] New WikiProject Illinois Collaboration Division

Hey, saw you were a participant in the Illinois 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 11:23, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
