[edit] Tulsa photos

Well, it's just that the main picture needs to show the whole skyline. There is actually a spot near Turkey Mountain park where there's a great elevated view of the skyline at a good angle. I think that's where the old night picture was taken, and I was going to try to get a picture there next time I'm in Tulsa. Okiefromokla complaints 00:22, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More on the Mapits

The bit to which I was referring is found at the very bottom of the Guidelines page. Nyttend (talk) 23:07, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

The Mapit template causes the coords to display in the top right corner of the article. This issue was just discussed last month, with the current system (coords in several places, plus top of article) being considered appropriate. There's no reason that any individual community or a few communities have not to list these things, as long as it's appropriate for articles nationwide — and virtually all community articles nationwide have this format.

All CDPs have articles that were created a few years ago, in the early days of Wikipedia, at the same time that cities and towns' articles were created: a bot account was sent through Census Bureau archives and created an article on every single municipality in the USA that was recorded by the Census. Unless you have pretty strong proof otherwise, you can assume that a community without an article is neither a municipality nor a CDP. A good source for Oklahoma municipalities and CDPs can be found at http://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/general_ref/cousub_outline/cen2k_pgsz/ok_cosub.pdf . There are similar maps, by the way, for all other states: simply replace the "ok" at the end of the link with the postal abbreviation for the state you want to look at. For detailed USGS information on a place, go to this website, the form for searching the GNIS. Nyttend (talk) 23:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
By the way, if you're creating articles on communities, it would be helpful if you added them to the county pages. I'm not complaining: just trying to let you know. Nyttend (talk) 03:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tulsa Airport

I received the following message from you: "Also be sure to add a short edit summary to all your edits, Ive noticed your edits to TIA and you didnt leave an edit summary." Could you please explain what you mean by "edit summary?" chip1015 (Chip1015 (talk) 23:58, 21 May 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Verifiable Reference Links

Howdy there.

You added this link:

www.weather.gov/view/validProds.php?prod=PNS&node=KTSA

...As a reference to Picher, Oklahoma. But if you look at the link, it says nothing, zero, squat, nada. It is a non-REF. Need a verifiable one.

[edit] Photo

No problem. I noticed that Buaidh deleted some see also links with his edits and also merged the religion footnotes into references. I reverted the edits for reasons I say in my edit summary. Namely, as you mention, the lack of edit summaries or an explanation makes me a little baffled as to why the changes were done. Okiefromokla complaints 23:47, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I figured out what was done to the See Also section and restored Buaidh's version in that section. Okiefromokla complaints 23:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
I haven't been watching that page, but I looked over it and couldn't find anything that stands out. I don't know much about the tulsa airport either, so I wouldn't know if something is wrong... Okiefromokla complaints 19:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
How do the pictures at Tulsa look now? Okiefromokla complaints 16:44, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
