[edit] License tagging for Image:7-20 001.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:7-20 001.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Denton County Transportation Authority

Take a look at the article history. There are a LOT of tidbits that have been changed oh-so-slightly to reflect more poorly on the agency and obfuscate its rail plans. I'm seeing this a lot in Wikipedia lately -- instead of inserting wholesale attacks (which get removed for blatant POV), vandals with an agenda change the wording very slightly, using multiple small edits, and try to fly under the anti-vandal radar. You should see the trouble I'm having with the Tulsa Race Riot article!

You've got most of the substantial edits, so I'll let you decide what repairs, if any, may be appropriate. --Robertb-dc 17:53, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Also, the way you sign posts in a talk page is --~~~~, not ----~~. Computers are teh stup1d; they only do what you tell them to do, not what you obviously meant! :) --Robertb-dc 18:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uptown Dallas

Hello. Uptown Dallas is a well-defined geographic PID (public improvement district) in the city of Dallas. North Dallas High School is north of Blackburn Street (the northern boundary of Uptown), Victory Park is well west of Uptown, and so is the Azure. The boundaries are clearly defined in the lead of the Uptown Dallas article. It is a common misconception though. The name "Uptown" has become so attractive that is often loosely associated with anything north of downtown and south of the Park Cities. Cheers! -- drumguy8800 C T 21:03, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dallas buildings

Hello, and thank you for taking an interest on the List of tallest buildings and structures in Dallas page. If you can find a reference for the fact that the Praetorin Tower was taller than Southside on Lamar, that would be great. I do not doubt that your information is correct; I based the current list on a SkyscraperPage diagram, which often have errors. However, the table would simply need a refrrence giving the exact height. Emporis could probably be used; I would happy to add it myself if you can give me a citation (As you probably guessed, I do not know much about Dallas buildings with the exception of the city's taller skyscrapers :) ). And for the Republic Tower I, it is actually correct the way it is but only because the tall spire of Republic Tower I is included. Many sources do not count this, but Emporis and SkyscraperPage, on which this list is based, do. Therefore, the Adams Mark Center Tower and Republic II never stood as the tallest, as they did not surpass Republic I's spire. Cheers! Rai-me 11:03, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for finding that reference; it is great, and I will update the page soon. And thanks for the compliments about the page! I just have to create articles for all of the redlinked buildings, and then I will hopefully be able to nominate it at WP:FLC. As for the pinnacle height, there is actually a difference between pinnacle top and architectural top. The Sears Tower's antenna masts are not considered to be "architectural details," and are therefore not included in the building's official height. However, Republic I's spire is included in its official height, as it is considered an architectural detail. Therefore, Republic I is officially taller than Republic II and the Adam Mark Center Tower. Cheers! Rai-me 15:51, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DART

Hi, I noticed your contributions to DART. The Light rail in North America has a section dedicated to Dallas's light rail system but it is not written. What's needed is a 1-2 paragraph summary of the whole light rail system if you'd like to write it. Cheers.--Loodog (talk) 00:08, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
