Olive
May I query what your concerns at Olive are? - there's 15 paragraphs, none of them conspicuously the 'main paragraph'. I agree there's a lot that needs editing, but it would help if you could put down the main problems on the Talk:Olive page. Or go ahead, be bold, and edit it yourself!

Vandalism
Thanks for reverting banned User:Gibraltarian's vandalism. I guess he finds a meaning to his life doing that. Regards, E Asterion u talking to me? 00:07, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- You're welcome... He was banned a long time ago, wasn't he? --Jhortman 02:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes but unfortunately he never actually stopped... See Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee for the latest news. Regards, E Asterion u talking to me? 02:55, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- By the way, I just finished reading the 9/11 entry in your blog. My experience so far restricted itself to read about it in the mainstream media. I am profoundly moved by your account of the story. Best wishes, E Asterion u talking to me? 03:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

- Wow, some folks just don't know when to give up, I guess. Thank you for your kind comments about my 9/11 page. --Jhortman 03:20, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Career abuse
Hey -- I changed your speedy into a prod here. Just so you understand, violating WP:CORP, WP:MUSIC, WP:BIO, et cetera, do not constitute criteria for speedy deletion. Deletion, yes, speedy, no. Advertising/spam is also not a speedy deletion criteria. Check out WP:CSD for the list of criteria; it helps if you can point to the specific criterion you think applies when using speedy tags. Thanks! Mangojuicetalk 03:35, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- My mistake, thanks for setting me straight--Jhortman 03:49, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
prod for Kiddy Grade characters
I'm curious as to why you {{prod}}'ed only some of the Kiddy Grade characters for Fancruft and not others. I'm not a Kiddy Grade fan or anything... just going through the AFD category, and I noticed those. --Jhortman 16:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- I prodded all those I could find. If I find more, I will prod them too. Stifle (talk) 21:58, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Georgia congressional district maps
The ones you removed are still the current district maps - the new maps go into effect at the start of the next Congress in January. Qqqqqq 23:19, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree. The districts became official as soon as they were passed by the Georgia State Legislature and were signed by the Governor. The first elections to be affected by this new redistricting process were the elections in the 2006 cycle, which started with the party primaries on June 19. The only significance of January is that the officials elected under the new districting system take office in January. The districts themselves, however, were "official" long before that. --Jhortman 02:24, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well, the current members of the House from Georgia are representing those old districts through next week. In any event, how about if we up the new district maps now? I'm not sure they're out yet, other than those poor-quality ones produced for information purposes by the General Assembly. I suppose the National Atlas will be putting them out soon. Qqqqqq 03:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Exactly... they're representing the old districts. You're right, though... in a week, it won't matter. There are actually some pretty good-quality current maps in a PDF file at http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/gacdmap.htm. Unfortunately, that site is owned by UGA, and is protected by copyright. I agree with you that National Atlas will probably have the new maps up before too long... it might be easiest to wait until they post the maps. (Though it would be pretty cool to make your own district maps... very time-consuming, though.) --Jhortman 03:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- It would probably be too difficult to use those UGA-produced maps, but they're better than nothing. Although I wonder now whether it might not be valuable to have historical maps of these districts -- perhaps including the old maps with a caption indicating that these were the maps used in the 2002 and 2004 elections, and then later we can add the new maps, noting that they will be used in the 2006, 2008, and 2010 elections? For the sake of completeness, that seems like it would be a viable solution. And on another note, what do you think about making a page with a statewide map (again, perhaps after the new maps are entered into National Atlas)? That big red link at the bottom of each district's page cries for some backup. Qqqqqq 03:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- It's funny you should mention that... that's what I requested they do with the files over at Wikimedia Commons, where the files are hosted (that is, I requested they changed the name of the file to "blah blah district, 2002-2005"). I think a statewide map is a great idea, but I'm not sure I'd want to create it. I'm a much better editor than creator. :-) --Jhortman 03:48, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds good. When (if) they rename those files, I'll stick them back on the district pages, then, with proper notation as to the current circumstances. I'll notify you know when I do that. And I'll a shot at a page for all of the state's districts as well. Nice talking with you. :) Qqqqqq 03:54, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
