[edit] Baird's History
If you really want to do more mayors of Jeff, get a copy of Baird's History of Clark County, Indiana. There are three copies available for checkout at the Jeff library, one of which I have.--Bedford (talk) 01:26, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] TableManners
There's an user named TableManners that is deleteing the Museums in Louisville category from any that are in Indiana. I am going to need assistance with this newbie that has already made self-righteous comments on my talk page about it.--Bedford (talk) 06:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rfc on Museums_in_Louisville problem
I made an Rfc stating the problem and proposing one solution. Please take a look and submit comments or propose other solutions. Should Museums in Indiana be listed in Museums in Kentucky?. Thanks. TableManners U·T·C 07:36, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Museums_in_Kentucky classifications too course
Please take a look at Template_talk:Museums_in_Kentucky#Organization. I am seeking input on the organization of this template. The classifications are a bit too course in my view. TableManners U·T·C 17:38, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A.J. Foyt IV
I feel that I have addressed your concerns about A. J. Foyt IV regarding good article criteria. -Drdisque (talk) 05:15, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Notability of John Minta
A tag has been placed on John Minta 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. Truthanado (talk) 22:16, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] List of Jeff mayors
I have a picture of a list of every mayor of Jeffersonville, including their time as mayor and their profession. I found it in Encyclopedia of Louisville. Let me know if you are interested in seeing this.--Bedford 00:58, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- I am very interested in seeing this. My email is kingjahnx@gmail.com if you don't mind sending it to me. -Jahnx (talk) 01:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
It has been sent. I included all three pages of the Jeffersonville entry; I apologize for the size. The book has some of its pages available in Google Books for free, but not nearly enough. It's available at the main Jeff Township library.--Bedford 01:42, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Louisville "This Day"
I've started creating a "This Day in Louisville History" at Portal:Louisville/thisday. I don't want to put it up until its fairly full, as I don't want to endanger the portal's probably featured status. But I thought you might like to know its existance, in case there is anything you might want to add.--Bedford 13:31, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Richard Vissing
Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Richard Vissing, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Thank you for the Photo Barnstar. I've been wanting that for some time.--Bedford 17:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

| For your fantastic addition to the History of Louisville, Kentucky article regarding racial events. That was the most substantive addition to the article in some time. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 18:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC) |
[edit] List of assault rifles AfD
I have hastily knocked together a sample treatment of an alternative format for the aforementioned page and posted it to the article's talk page. As you have weighed in on the previous version, I would invite your comments on the alternate I am proposing. Do you think this would make the page more worth keeping? Is it worth the effort to redo the whole page? Is the whole concept a lost cause? Inquiring minds want to know.

- I stand by my Delete vote even after the revision. Most of these gun lists I would consider to delete because of duplications of categories. Now all you have is some red links. If you list was something specific about the gun, then it would be different. Like List of Assualt Riffles made by (insert gun company) -Jahnx (talk) 00:13, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Barnstar of Recovery
Thankyou for the Barnstar! It means a lot! :-) Fosnez (talk) 06:53, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Your welcome, with your edits I think that article would have been deleted.-Jahnx (talk)
[edit] David Floyd Verifiability
Jahnx, you rated an article I wrote on Davis Floyd. You commented on the references. In the external links there is a link to a Carnagie Center exhibit in New Albany on the offical Carnagie Center website, that page recounts alot of the info in the article. The specifics of his involvement in the Aaron Burr plot I could not find online, i referenced a book in my library. Here is a link to a google book Google Book on Burr Trial, Page 62 sites that Floyd was also charged with treason but without an explanation. Also, the book i referenced is on google books here Google Book on Burr, check pages 88, 179, 255-6, & 333.Cool10191 (talk) 12:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] DYK

On 26 March 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article History of the French in Louisville, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Congratulations! --Espresso Addict (talk) 18:46, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] You're kidding, right?
You should know better than to think that "it's too short" (Buehler Foods) is a legitimate reason to delete. Don't go around trying to destructively nuke someone else's hard work just because you're not interested in doing something constructive like expanding it. If you don't know anything about it yourself, or you're just not interested in the subject, that's fine--so just leave it alone. Let people who care work on it when they're interested. This is patently ludicrous. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 05:31, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Remember to be Diplomatic and Kind on the wikipedia. The Article doesn't satisfy the WP:NOTE guide lines. It flirts with some speedy deletion categories such as A7. I am giving it a chance by placing the prod on it, it's called alerting the article creator that this article could be delete unless he/she does something about it. You have stopped the prod, now do something about it. If this article remains in this form for any significant amount of time I believe it would result in a deletion. -Jahnx (talk) 07:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Not legitimately it wouldn't. A short article is no reason to delete. That some people fail to understand how wikis are supposed to work is their problem, not that of article creators. The idea of "notability" is, quite simply, wrong; verifiable existence is the only legitimate criterion needed for inclusion of an article on a given subject. We now have a whole new generation of editors who can cite "policy" backwards and forwards, but who don't actually "get" Wikipedia. "Policy" is only a means to an end--and a pretty poor means at that; it's certainly not an end in itself, and it's absolutely NOT normative anyway, but merely descriptive of what has been done in the past. Ultimately, we are obligated to do what's best for the encyclopedia, "rules" be damned. So tell me, how would deleting this article be in the best interests of the encyclopedia?
That anyone would ever want to delete a perfectly legitimate article on a perfectly legitimate subject is both saddening and frightening. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 15:50, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- You're obviously consumed with this thought that you can do what ever youd want on wikipedia regardless of facts and if it's worth including into an encyclopedia. -Jahnx (talk) 17:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- Any verifiable, factual information is worth including--that's correct. The whole point of an encyclopedia, after all, is to present the sum of all human knowledge. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 16:45, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
