[edit] Delaware project
I think that there's probably enough reason to try to start the project formally now, particularly as you've created the banner. All that you'd have to do is move the project page to Wikipedia:WikiProject Delaware to give it a start. John Carter 15:04, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- A lot of other projects only have a few members before they're officially "launched", only to get more once others see the banner on a number of articles. And, if nothing else, having assessment criteria (I can create the necessary work for assessment), would really be useful to wikipedia as a whole, as it would let us have a better idea of which articles are closest to good or featured article status. Also, you might contact the people on the [1] page to see if they would be interested in joining once it's formally started. My guess is that at least a few would do so, once they know the project is up and running. John Carter 17:45, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

- If you want any help in setting up the page or related pages, and (maybe) in placing the banner, let me know. And using User:PockBot to see what the current status of the various articles relating to Delaware is, that might make filling in the "featured content" section easier as well.

[edit] Re:Thanks!
No problem. It was the turtle porn that got me suspicious. Thanks so much for the barnstar! ... discospinster talk 12:28, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phillies Season by Season records
Hi there, I was wondering how you felt about moving the Phils' season by season records to a separate page, as the article is fairly long. We could have a template that automatically displays it, or, (in my opinion) better yet, just have it as the main article with only maybe a preview of the table with a few current years displayed. It was briefly discussed here. Cole Hamels is electric. JesseRafe 01:14, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- No worries. As you can see on the talk page linked above, the article is fairly long. As in long-long. And navigating through the page without initially using the TOC can be a bit tedious when you have to scroll through so much, and the average reader isn't that concerned with the Phils' 1932 standings. Having a Main Article link at the header of the section will make it clear that they have more than 5 years of history.
- Other pros include the fact that the main page won't have to be edited day-to-day. This way we can monitor solely the content changes made, and it gives a much easier view of the overall shape of the article.
- In short it is easier for the casual reader (article length being much more manageable) and for the editor/page-watcher (fewer miniscule changes made). JesseRafe 01:43, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Not necessary"?
Define "not necessary", if you please. Flonto 00:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Necessary Explanation
Sorry! Something came up when I was about to type the rest and I finished off quick instead of coming back another time. In the article on the State of Pennsylvania, I added, after the state nicknames, some traditional nicknames for inhabitants of Pennsylvania. You appear to have deleted this information with only the comment 'not necessary' in your edit summary. I am not saying that you were wrong in coming to the conclusion that this information was "unnecessary". All I'm saying is that you appear to have deleted it after one glance, without consultating anybody, without explaining your actions on the Discussion Page and without even giving a proper edit summary. "Not necessary" explains nothing. By this definition of necessity, the nicknames for the state itself are also unnecessary trivia: but you did not delete them. I am not saying you were wrong: I guess calling Ohioans Buckeyes, Kansans Jayhawkers, etc. is pretty old-fashioned nowadays. Maybe I need to move with the times. Anyway, it's not a matter of life and death. But I would have appreciated you taking a moment to explain why you deleted my contribution to that article, which was intended to be informative, whether it succeeded or not. Flonto 06:40, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair Enough
Understand reasons for reversion. Wikipedia demands sourcing of info. I will not put those nicknames back - I think I must accept that they are part of a colorful American past that is now gone. On reflection, probably the only reason that "Hoosier" is still used nowadays is because 'Indianan' comes so awkwardly off the tongue. I guess I need to move with the times.

[edit] WP:NJSCR newsletter 4
 The New Jersey State and County Route Newsletter |
|
After a three-month hiatus, the fourth issue of the WP:NJSCR newsletter is out, by me, Mitchazenia. The foruth issue of the WP:NJSCR newsletter celebrates the passing of New Jersey Route 18 for Good Article Status. 18 is only the third NJ-based road to reach that rank with Interstate 295 (Delaware-New Jersey) and Pulaski Skyway being the other 2. |

[edit] Tallest Buildings by State
Hey, just wanted to fill you in on why I basically did away with your revisions you just made... I started out noticing the exact same thing you did. But in the effort to try to determine which numbers were correct, I found the copyright infringement and that the data was generally a bit outdated, and it wasn't immediately clear how many towers were of each type (it's actually difficult to determine at times... I need to go dig more to find out what is the actual greatest use of the Miami tower). So I decided to, temporarily at least, axe that stat. Didn't realize you'd edited.
Page needs some work, but I think it's much more useful and meaningful (and legal) now. And I'll bring some more revisions when I get some time... as well as some work on making linked pages for the few remaining unwiki-ed buildings.
Rest assured, it's nothing against you. I could never do anything negative to a fellow Floridian with road geekiness! Even if you are an Eagles fan!!! :-p JeopardyTempest 14:12, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
