[edit] Dates on ATL mayors
While editing James Calhoun, I noticed that you had Calhoun's term as 1865-68. I knew this couldn't be possible since as mayor of Atlanta, he surrendered the city in 1864, so I looked it up and found this [1]. I corrected Calhoun's page, but you'll need to go back through some of the mayors around him and correct their terms. Otherwise, great job on the mayors of Atlanta pages.

Funny, just trying to fix all that tonight at the library! I should have corrected info soon Jolomo 00:59, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Richard Peters
Thanks for your help, and the Atlanta article. I'll add the first Richard as an article and to your disambiguation page. Keep up the good work. Lou I 12:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Herman Haupt
Cool article! Do you have any idea if Herman Haupt had a relationship with J. Edgar Thomson or Richard Peters? They were all from Philadelphia and involved with the Pennsylvania Railroad (Thomson was its president after the War). I couldn't find anything. Thanks Jolomo 20:05, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, I had to stretch to get as much info as I included. Those names didn't come up in my research. Hal Jespersen 20:24, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Henry W. Grady page
Are you interested in working on the Henry W. Grady page? If not, I will do the work, it seems you are busier than I, but possibly a better Wikipedian and more knowledgable on Atlanta history.
BTW, where do you live? I'm just a thirty second walk from the Hurt mansion and the Candler mansion (founder of Coke)!

[edit] IN THE NEXT WORLD YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN
Hey, nice infobox you added for ITNWYOYO. That was going to be my wikiproject for the day but you beat me to it. So I ended up fixing the hack job someone did on TV OR NOT TV by Proctor and Bergman instead. I've been working on a few of these Firesign articles a week and now that the ones that are already there are about done, it's about time to start in on the ones that have no articles at all. That'll take more time but it's nice to know someone appreciates the stuff I'm doing and is willing to help out.
See you around man,

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Great Atlanta fire of 1917, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |

[edit] Alexander St. Clair-Abrams
I see that you began the article Alexander St. Clair-Abrams. I'm trying to confirm that he is the same person as the author of the book The Trials of the Soldier's Wife, which has recently been transcribed for Project Gutenberg [2]. Do you think this is the same person? Andrew Sly 17:04, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MARTA stations
I like your work on adding station pages for marta stations. I would love to work with you to get these pages flushed out. Earlopogous 03:09, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
How do you like the Peachtree Center (MARTA station) infobox? I changed it to look more like the MTA articles. Earlopogous 02:35, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Maynard Jackson
I think with the way the infobox is set up, that's as good as you can get as far as the succession boxes go. However, feel free to edit it to make it clearer. Also, I'd edit out the party affiliation as well, but isn't it true he was a Democrat? Mike H. That's hot 16:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- I think I found it on a Mayor of Detroit article, so I assumed it was the standard for all mayors. Mike H. That's hot 22:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tucker, Georgia
Thanks for the reference on the naming of Tucker. Krakow is a great source, so I think it best to cite both and note the conflicting info. What do you think? --Roswell native 02:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Atlanta Neighborhood Image
I like your image Atlanta-hoods-shields.PNG but I'm wondering why you show a few neighborhoods in southwest Atlanta past the perimeter but nothing on the northeast side (like Brookhaven). Akubhai 20:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks! When I did it there was *nothing* to give people a spacial idea of where the various hoods were. I stuck to things inside the city limits (Brookhaven is just to the east of the line) and only displayed neighborhoods that were listed in the template at that time -- I'm sure it has changed since back then. Jolomo 03:07, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Senior Senator
Hey. I do not know you, but i see you are a member of North Dakota Wikiproject. Please, could you answer my question. I would like to point out that in 1992, Kent Conrad retired, and Byron Dorgan won. Dorgan is still in the Senate. And then Conrad ran and won a few years later. Wouldn't this make Dorgan senior senator from North Dakota??
Thanks,

[edit] Wikimania in Atlanta!
Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta!

If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!
P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 09:39, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimania 2008/Conference of the Americas
Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008 [3]. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.
As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see [4].
For more information about the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas see http://www.cota-atlanta.org and our wiki http://www.cota-atlanta.org/wiki.

[edit] Ross Overbeek
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ross Overbeek, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Ross Overbeek.

[edit] Requesting another of your photographs
Your photo of the old container of moth killer is very good. I can read the wording on the container label, but only the front of the label is visible. Do you still have access to the container? It would be interesting as a matter of historical issues to read the rest of the wording, e.g. the usage instructions. I wonder could you take another photo showing the rear of the label? If you reply here, I'll watch your talk page and followup here to keep the thread of conversation in one place. - Neparis (talk) 19:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:PATH-logo.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:PATH-logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy.

[edit] Help please
Hi Jolomo, I was hoping I could ask you a big favor regarding one of the images you uploaded a while ago. It was a photo of an old container of moth killer. I was wondering do you still have access to the container, and if so, please could you take another photo showing the rear side of the container and the label? I have an academic interest in historical product labeling standards. If it is too much trouble or you don't have access to the container anymore, please let me know. Sorry to bother you. - Neparis (talk) 01:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
