[edit] 1964 World's Fairs

Hey Doug, I saw your post on the reference desk. I did some research on the New York World's Fairs for a dissertation. I would suggest contacting the Queens Museum, they maintain the official archive of the fair. I met/E-mailed with a woman named Nancy who was helpful. You can contact her at nrattenbury@queensmuseum.org Gradvmedusa (talk) 00:02, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for info, great lead. So happens that I am working on writing an article on Cupaloy which was the 1939 Time Capsule from Westinghouse - and also an article on the 1964 NY World's Fair Time Capsule.--Doug talk 00:31, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Westinghouse Time Capsules

Hi Doug! I am indeed from the New York area and a big fan of the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs (though they're both a bit before my time). You can find some material you probably haven't seen about Time Capsule I at the New York Public Library, described here. You can also find the records of the 1964 Fair Corporation (which just might have a copy of the guestbook), described here. But the first person you should probably write to is David Grinnell, who is administering the Westinghouse collection at the Heinz History Center (see here, which includes his e-mail address). Please keep me updated if you find anything! I'll try to have a more thorough look at the Time Capsules article later.--Pharos (talk) 01:12, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I tend to go to the New York Public Library main branch once every few months or so... I'll try to look some of this stuff up next time I'm there. Keep me updated on what you find, so I'lll know what to look for.--Pharos (talk) 18:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media

Yes, I have found better images for the article Westinghouse Time Capsules and these below can therefore be deleted if necessary, however I have incorporated them into the article and I feel they should be kept as they are part of the history explanation of the 1938 time capsule on how it was constructed and buried.--Doug talk 13:36, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 106 famous women

Thanks -- took a quick look at the article and will read more carefully later. Mind if I fix some of the placement of the images? A few cover text with my browser and I'd be glad to fix them. 83d40m (talk) 22:42, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Was not sure about your message device -- left a note for you above 83d40m (talk) 22:43, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely, go ahead and fix what you think looks good. I have looked at this with several different computers at various locations with different size screens and they all looked good to me. Make the changes and then I will recheck on various computers to see that it went O.K. If it looks good on most I will leave as you have edited it. So........... what does the "83d" and the "40m" stand for?--Doug talk 23:07, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Atalaya and Brookgreen Gardens

Hi Doug -- I see you have been developing both Atalaya Castle and Brookgreen Gardens articles which i have just browsed. I have been developing List of National Historic Landmarks in South Carolina, and opened a new article Atalaya and Brookgreen Gardens to cover the joint designation of them as a single National Historic Landmark, and to hold links to the NHL webpage for the combination and to the NRHP text and photos documents. I am not sure whether the 3 articles now ought to remain separate, or whether any can be merged. Is there also an article on the Huntington Beach, I have not checked for that yet. It is an awkward situation, because it appears to me that Atalaya is not on the same property as Brookgreen Gardens, so the NHL designation is perhaps of two distinct, separated sites. Is that correct? (If so, that should be noted with the NHL description.) Perhaps the 3 articles should continue, but refer to each other, and all 3 could usefully incorporate the NRHP text and photos reference. What do you think should be done? regards, doncram (talk) 18:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Appreciate the question, however I am not qualified to answer it. I live in Michigan, but do spend the winters in the Myrtle Beach area. I have been doing this (off and on ) for over 20 years. I often go to Atalaya Castle and Brookgreen Gardens - but basically for the enjoyment and taking pictures. I know little of the history of these places, other than what is in the brochures given out by the state. All the pictures at Brookgreen Gardens is mine - including at the bottom a slide show presentation of additional pictures. All the pictures at Commons are also mine. All the pictures at Atalaya Castle are also mine, except for the B & W one. Also recently I added a slide show presentation at the bottom of the group of pictures of additional pictures I took in 2006. Do these slide show presentations work for you? I have checked them on various computers at various locations and they appear to work properly (especially of the high speed connections). Sorry I couldn't help more. I think probably your best bet is others that edit these articles, especially the ones that started them (if they are still around). There is an article on Huntington Beach State Park which I have edited, however basically from a formating "clean up" standpoint (removing peacock terms). Notice they are requesting additional photos of HBSP, so will have to go take some and enter into the article. Maybe even make a slide show. What do you think of this idea of a "slide show" of pictures? Should they be narrated or is classical music alright? How about amateur home movies of places like this? BTY, Atalya Castle is directly across Highway 17 from Brookgreen Gardens. Brookgreen Gardens is about a mile directly inland. In the slide show of Atalaya the first slide shows the original road going directly from the residence of Atalaya Castle to Brookgreen Gardens as the Huntingtons would have used it in the 1930's to move the large sculptures. Since, Highway 17 was built and has cut it in half. All this property was then owned by the Huntingtons. --Doug talk 19:42, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. Nice work with all the pictures, i meant to say before, and it seems like you have taken and put up even more than I knew. About the history, despite your reticence, you can become the expert. You have the state brochures, you now have the official NRHP text and photos document now linked from the articles, you seem to be a good and competent wikipedia editor. And I didn't notice any others contributing writing that used references in any of the articles. So, maybe it is your destiny to be the researcher who develops these better. Plan to visit a library or two when you're there on your next trip! Cheers, doncram (talk) 20:24, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Julian Price

A tag has been placed on Julian Price requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 23:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

That sure was a surprise to me that you determined Julian Price was not notable enough within 1 minute of the time I put up the new article. I listed approximately 3 dozen positions he is associated with in large corporations, banks, and insurance companies as well as other large organizations (i.e advisor to the 1939 World's Fair and the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University). I have expanded the article further with his Fortune 500 insurance company information. I'll be working on it the next couple of days and expanding it further, since there is much information on this very large insurance company. The Julian Price Memorial Park was made in his honor with the Price Lake developed on the Blue Ridge Parkway which happens to have the largest campground on the Parkway and is the largest recreational area developed for public use on the Parkway. I believe he is notable and worth an article. --Doug talk 00:35, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Michigan Logging Wheels

Do you know roughly how many sets were made, and how many are now preserved? This could be a useful addition to a great article. Mjroots (talk) 09:57, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Good question! So far the only reference I have found is that Overpack made "thousands" of his logging wheels. I live in northern Michigan and find them displayed all over - even where there is not an outdoor museum around or the like. I have seen them displayed by the roadside and the color pictures are just that which I took in 2004. I suspect there are dozens still around in Michigan alone + whatever might be found in other northern states and Canada. The museums that I know where they are at I have listed. Will keep an eye out for further on this. Thanks for the comment on the article - I have submitted it for a possible DYK.--Doug talk 11:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I know you submitted it for a DYK, that's where I spotted it, the piccy looked interesting so I had a look at the article and did the conversions of measurements. Can't see why this shouldn't get the nom. Mjroots (talk) 12:05, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
I take it you've seen my user page. One advantage of that is I can use "Related changes" to keep an eye on alterations to articles I've been involved in editing. It also enables me to quickly reach those articles if necessary. Mjroots (talk) 11:41, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
The issue of the red text has come up again. I like it, and as you created it that way I reverted it back to red. I'm now being accused of "owning" the article in respect of that issue. Do you think the text should stay in red, or should it be black? If you change it from red I won't object, but if you want it to stay in red please say so, and I'll argue for its retention. Mjroots (talk) 15:44, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Black font is alright with me - then the issue is settled. I changed it to black font. --Doug talk 16:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BRP Tunnels

I will check my data, I have some NPS data downloaded for the BRP including boundaries, waterways, etc. It just doesn't have any connecting roads. I will take a look to see if it happens to have tunnels and let you know. Otherwise, I should be able, at the very least, to make a map of just the parkway and appoximate locations of the tunnels could be added.

Sorry about the delay in reply.Exw81 {talk|contribs } 12:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, yes, I think a map would be appropriate either there or in close proximity to the list. I do not have tunnel data, but I can make a map with the Parkway and try to get approximations of the tunnels. Would you like the connecting highways or just the actual parkway itself? It may take a little while to do, but I'll be glad to help you out. Exw81 {talk|contribs } 14:55, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Just approximations of the tunnels (most in NC) themselves is all that is necessary. Appreciate whatever you put into this. A lot of time isn't necessary, so if it gets too involved just something minimum will do. Thanks!--Doug talk 15:01, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Great! I'm working on it and will upload it when its done, may be the other side of the weekend. My software will allow me to add that stuff in along with the state lines. Exw81 {talk|contribs } 18:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Please see my recent edits to Moses H. Cone. Notice that See Also, Early Life, External Links are incorrect forms according to Wikipedia:Manual of Style. You're supposed to write See also, Early life, External links, etc. I.e. the first letter of a section heading is capital; later letters are capital only when there's a reason to capitalize, and being an initial letter in a section heading is not such a reason.
