[edit] List of parks in Midland

I'm considering putting this up for WP:AFD, as I think it would fit into List of municipal parks in the United States. I wanted to get your opinion. Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share? 00:51, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah. I thought it was just going to sit there, being all independent-like. Nevermind then. Master of Puppets Care to share? 01:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] List of places in Florida: C

I reverted your change of 'Columbia, Florida' to 'Columbia City, Florida'. The USGS GNIS lists 'Columbia' as the designated name, with 'Columbia City' as a variant.[1] If you know of a reliable source that indicates that 'Columbia City' has priority, please cite it. -- Donald Albury 20:47, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gary Pajcic

Hey Mark, do you plan to start an article on Gary Pajcic? If not, then might I suggest removing the wikilinks that you placed on there? Frankly, I don't think that a) there's enough material on him to create a stand-alone article, and b) I don't think he'd pass muster per WP:NOTE. (In fact, you wouldn't believe it, but I had to fight a small battle because some editors thought that Steve Pajcic didn't meet WP:NOTE!) Anyway, it's up to you, but if it's just going to remain a redlink, I'd remove it. Happy New Year! Unschool (talk) 16:40, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, congratulations! I told you that it would get contested, but hey, it survived! Good job. I didn't think you'd be able to get enough to get that to survive. Thanks for writing it. Unschool (talk) 03:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jacksonville Port Authority

Hey, just FYI, I mostly just wikified your references, took out one dead link, made minor "edit for flow" changes. Good article, btw! Sallicio (talk) 19:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Sallicio

[edit] Gator Bowl Venue

Will please stop changing the succesion box of the Gator Bowl venue! In 1994 the game was held at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium because the Gator Bowl stadium was being reconstructed as JMS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.84.121.39 (talk) 12:48, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

The article may be about the stadium but the succession box is about the game. Specifically about the fact which stadium played host to the Gator Bowl which in 1994 was BHG Stadium. 83.84.121.39 (talk) 16:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Personal Info

Hey! Just FYI, you might want to take off some of your more personal information (e.g., Mark Greason, born 3/24/1955). Look yourself up with just the information you put out here on zabasearch.com. It's really scary what is "public information." Anyway, just trying to help. Sallicio (talk) 04:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Sallicio

[edit] Karpeles Museum

Hi Mgreason, it is nice to see your article on the Karpeles museum in the Wikipedia, since my great grand parents were called Karpeles (and in fact, I am related to Dave Karpeles). Apparently the system is unhappy about your article because of the lack of reliable sources. Could you maybe add the museum section of Jacksonville, Florida as a source? HPaul (talk) 21:56, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Mark, I think the addition of true sources has made the article much better. Thank you for acting so fast! I read your reference 7 with pleasure. I think it contains much about Karpeles' method and background that would go well into the article (not verbally, of course). The list of examples being shown should be much improved, I think. Where did you get it from? Jokingly, I asked Dave Karpeles whether he really had the stone originals of the Ten Commandments, and he explained what he does have. Similarly, the Star of Bethlehem seems like a joke. I think such very inaccurate statements make the whole thing look phony. Best regards, HPaul (talk) 21:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Mark, Dave Karpeles writes: If you are in contact with Mgreason, who submitted the entry to Wikipedia, can you tell him that the following sentence is out of date as that section of the museum (Sprinkle's) is closed:

The Sprinkles' When I Grow Up Museum is oriented to children under 8 years and offers interactive play in career-related theme areas, such as medical, athletics and performing arts.[5] The children's museum has a $3 admission. [6]

Thanks, Dave

It's amusing that two Americans get into contact via Austria (that's where I am). Thanks, HPaul (talk) 20:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Goodbread-Black Farm Historic District

Hey, thanks much for adding info to the stub. By any chance, might you know where it's located, exactly? I'm trying to get pics of all the Florida NHRPs, and couldn't find this place for the life of me. Found Falling Creek Methodist Church, which is close, but not the farm. :( -Ebyabe (talk) 20:47, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 31 March 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Berlin Rules on Water Resources, 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.

[edit] Sullivan Award winners template

Hey, I have a question to ask you. I noticed that you created a navigational template, Template:Sullivan Award winners. But that template isn't the list of Sullivan Award winners seen on this list, James E. Sullivan Award. So I was wondering why the list was a list of people who had won the Maxwell Award? Thanks Hatmatbbat10Talk to me 23:29, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, I was just a little confused their. Hatmatbbat10Talk to me 20:16, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:SITimShaw.PNG

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:SITimShaw.PNG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? XRK (talk) 21:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DCSB page

There is probably no one more supportive of expanded information about Jacksonville than yourself. But how far should we go? Specifically, do you support the creation of tables on schools that has begun over on Duval County Public Schools, an article that you started? Personally, I think the information fails to meet WP:NOTE. (I mean, do we really need to list every single school in the United States on their respective school district pages?) Anyway, I have a high level of respect for the contributions that you have made, and accordingly, seek your counsel. Cheers, Unschool (talk) 23:20, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:JFRescue.PNG

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:JFRescue.PNG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Original picture is in my photo album and was taken with a Kodak Instamatic camera in the summer of 1969 in Jacksonville, immediately before a Three Dog Night concert at the Jacksonville Memorial Coliseum. I scanned the image and cropped the sky and pavement before posting it. Mgreason (talk) 01:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
