[edit] Editing edit summaries

[copied from User talk:Raul654]

Hi. Is it possible to edit the edit summaries that appear of the history pages? Or maybe delete one revision? Jmturner included his email address in his summary on history: USS Elliot (DD-967), and on reflection, would rather not have done that. —wwoods 08:52, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

The developers can delete individual revisions, and have done it in the past, but only rather exceptional circumstances (like when Perl posted a bunch of Angela's personal information (name, address, phone number, where she worked, 'etc). If your friend would like that particular revision wiped (or possibly the edit summary modified, although I am not sure if that's possible) then he'll have to go to #wikimedia-tech and ask the developers. →Raul654 09:07, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hello there

[edit] Your first barnstar

The Original Barnstar
Thank you for taking those great pictures of buildings in Raleigh. Keep up the good work! AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peace College Main Building

Check it out. I used one of your pix and I think it will be a DYK featured on the main page in a few days. I found some sites with great pictures. I'm hoping to convince them to upload a few. I'm working on creating several articles with additional pictures you added. APK yada yada 13:31, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Sweet, APK! While the pic may be good, its your articles that really shine. Nice work!
On a related note, I'm setting up a sandbox so that I can create a few articles, too. After all, why should you have all the fun? :) Jmturner (talk) 13:45, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the compliment. That would be great if you create some as well. I just started on this one. APK yada yada 13:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I finished Long View Center and your pic came in very handy. I'm still working on Moore Square Historic District and I might create a separate article for Moore Square, I'm not sure. City Market, Artspace, and First Night are next. APK yada yada 14:10, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Another nice article. Great job, APK! Right now, I'm intrigued by the old Union Station (Raleigh, North Carolina). Maybe I'll wander down to the State Archives at lunch and scare up some old photos of the place. I'm a train buff and so I created pages for the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad as well as the Experimental Railroad. Short articles, but good practice, I figure.

Also check out the list of Raleigh Historic Landmarks I got from the City of Raleigh yesterday. As far as I know this is the only online version of this, if you can believe it. Do you think it would be better as a list or a category? Jmturner (talk) 14:47, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Another question: Should we change the Category:Buildings and Structures in Raleigh, North Carolina category to "Landmarks of Raleigh, North Carolina" or something like that? Jmturner (talk) 14:47, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, I've added the category to several articles that are not landmarks. I created Category:Registered Historic Places in Raleigh, North Carolina last week, so that should cover it. That's good of you to get a list of the Raleigh landmarks. I've been thinking about creating that article for a while, but I'm glad you went ahead and started on it in your sandbox. I'm not sure if you should make it a list or a regular article. I'm going to ask someone involved in the NHRP project. APK yada yada 18:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your picture of Long View Center...

...made the main page. ;-) It was a DYK feature today, so if you get this message in the next few hours check it out. APK yada yada 16:02, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject North Carolina May 2008 Newsletter

NEWSLETTER
Issue One • May 2008 • About the Newsletter

Cape Lookout Lighthouse
Cape Lookout Lighthouse

Hello WikiProject North Carolina members! A few of us at the The Newsroom Team decided to get together and re-energize the project, through these newsletters. This newsletter is hopefully the first of many to come. We want this project to be active in creating and expanding articles related to our state. If you're a current or former resident of the state, we hope that you will help spread the knowledge of how much there is to learn about North Carolina.

  • A great way to expand new articles is by keeping track of the new articles list. Please add any new NC-related articles or older ones you come across that have not been tagged with the project banner. When you notice an article has been added to the list, read over it and check for citations, grammatical errors, and spelling. If you've written a NC-related article in the past 5 days, read the requirements for Did you know... and add your article to the DYK nomination list. It might be chosen for the Main Page!
  • If you see a new member added to the project list, a great idea would be to leave them a welcome message on their talk page. Show them we notice new members and that we want them to become active participants.
  • If you have any questions in regards to the project, feel free to contact someone from The Newsroom Team. Thanks for all of your hard work and happy editing!
