From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greetings, wikipedia mavens.
My name is Paul. I have been a resident of the state of Colorado, USA, since 1961. My initial interest in Wikipedia revolves around the local history and geography of the state of Colorado, and specifically my home town, Boulder.
I welcome your comments.

[edit] Boulder
Thanks for you help in trying to get the Boulder article under control. The strange political/self-bashing nature of it has been gradually getting out of hand over the past year or so. I think it will continue to be a problem, especially given the nature of politics in Boulder. I think it's also important to battle the bloat in general, as people keep adding unimportant events and trivial details (like the nude pumpkin run or the cost of every newspaper) for some reason. --Junky 21:42, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] British vs. American terms
Regarding your 20:04 1-1-2007 editto Denver International Airport, please be aware that we need to use the naming conventions of the topic being discussed. Your subject said that you were changing the wording to be consistant with British usage. However, Denver -- and DIA -- are in the US. Hence, British usage is incorrect. You need American usage.
An editer has already reverted the mentioned edit. Frankly, I have lived in America all my life and I can't say that whether "paved area" or "pavement" would be more correct. However, the subject of your edit was enough for me to bring this up. Will (Talk - contribs) 05:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- I would say no. However, you should probably consult with the person that reverted your edit. If you do switch it back, rather than saying you are using "British" terminology, try stating that you are using "clearer" terminology. Will (Talk - contribs) 21:59, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fifth Down
I reverted this edit to Fifth Down as I think the subsequent fallout and controversy over the Orange Bowl is important to the fallout and aftermath of Fifth Down. I also removed a line that you added stating "No team with two losses has won the NC" (paraphrase) and then cited a source that was a copy of another Wikipedia article. Cite another Wikipedia article (even if it's copied elsewhere) isn't a valid source, and there was some questions over this during the peer review and GA nomination review. If you are going to add cites, please copy the style used in the rest of the article. I do think you are trying to improve the article, so keep up your efforts. Thank you. --MECU≈talk 15:25, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- You apparently haven't looked at my userpage. I'm a Colorado fan, so any bias I have for tarnishing their championship to favor GT doesn't fly. All your objections on my talk page didn't address the one critical one I mentioned above: The aftermath of the Fifth Down included a tainted NC, for which completeness of that subject (the tainted NC) requires the mention of this clipping call. The other subjective factors you've mentioned aren't relevant. I won't undo my revert of the sentence, and if you choose to remove it, I would prefer to go through some dispute resolution process that you and I would agree to; even an informal one. --MECU≈talk 13:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Charlie Johnson
Hello, Paul. What do you think of this: Let's rename the Charlie Johnson (Colts football) article to Charlie Johnson (offensive tackle) and rename the Charlie Johnson (Eagles and Vikings football) article to Charlie Johnson (nose tackle) to comply with the Wikipedia naming conventions. Naming teams and colleges in article names does not comply with the current naming conventions. Let me know. Manningmbd 19:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wiki Project
Hey, I am also a wikipedian in Boulder, and I am wondering if you would like to start a wiki project. --Jimbo Herndan 18:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] OK
Allright then. I see what you are saying. But there is one thing that I would ask you to do. Could you rearange the list of shops in 29th Street in to a table? thanks. --Jimbo Herndan 03:12, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Todd Bertuzzi talk page
The first of Wikipedia's five pillars states: Wikipedia is not the place to insert personal opinions, experiences, or arguments. Wikipedia's official guideline on talk pages states: Talk pages are not for general conversation. Keep discussions on the topic of how to improve the associated article. Irrelevant discussions are subject to removal. Therefore, I have removed your personal opinions from the Todd Bertuzzi talk page. --Muéro(talk/c) 18:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Need your help
You may be interested in these edits by an editor who seems to be on a mission to rewrite secularity, secularism, and the disambiguation page for "secularity" in order to conflate the two terms. Since you did such a good job demystifying this conflation earlier I figured you should know. See [1], [2], [3], [4]. Some of your wisdom might be of use here since, as I said, you have done such good work on these entries.PelleSmith 16:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello again
I havent talked to you in quite a while, so, hi again. Anyway, I was wondering of what you thought of the City of Denver template I have been working on. Add content if you wish. I will be working on it from time to time. --Jimbo Herndan 07:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
