[edit] Mojave

Both you and I have some common interest in the west and deserts. Lets see, if you want, if we can collaberate on areas of common interest. I want to contribute pictures and editing work. Let me know what you think. I think I jumped the gun in a few areas and misunderstood your intentions toward me. I think we can work together. BTW offer suggestions. Thanks, Dave

[edit] St. George Pictures

Would you happen to have pictures for the St. George area that are up-to-date? I am from St. George, but am currently living quite a ways away. I'm really looking for some good downtown pictures...VBlack 18:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:LVCityFlag.jpg has been listed as a possible copyright violation

An image that you uploaded, Image:LVCityFlag.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Context?

What do you want to know in the article Steam (band) that is not already in there?

  • Oops, sorry, I did not see your question at first. It's because of the Sox-Cubs rivalry. I will add something about that, and take away the context banner. :) Wahkeenah 13:59, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Actually, the article already says that. Unless you have other questions, I will remove the context banner. Wahkeenah 14:03, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Las Vegas, Nevada

I reverted your changes since most of what you added is already included in Las Vegas metropolitan area and Clark County School District. Text should only be in one place, otherwise you create an update nightmare. I believe that all of this is already linked in the article, but if clearer links need to be added, that could be done.

[edit] Nevada State parks

Dear M, instead of adding {{stub}} to the park articles you create, I urge you to consider adding {{nevada-geo-stub}} and save the stub-sorting team some work. Thanks. User:Crzrussian 14:47, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contact

I have not decided to turn on e-mail for wiki yet. So that option is currently not available. Vegaswikian 06:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mt trumbull

thanks for adding the picture to the Mount Trumbull Wilderness page. improve it further if you can.--Tainter 04:01, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Capitals and Capitols

Next time just move the page. This takes all the previous versions to a new page, and sets up a redirect from the old page (in this case the misspelled version). Cutting and Pasting to a new article leaves the old history behind. Not a big issue but it can be quite significant if you don't properly move more established articles, or those with a lot of discussion on the talk page. Keep up the good work! --Steve (Slf67) talk 08:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Association of Members' Advocates/Requests/February 2007/MojaveNC

Hi. This case looks interesting. I'll take a look at the edits and photos and have a chat with User:Staplegunther. If you want to provide more background, or just want to have a chat, leave me a message on my talk page or send me an email. Regards SilkTork 22:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I've left a message on Staplegunther's talk page. I agree that the images are misplaced. It looks to me just like a new user who is unsure how things are done. I have sent him a welcome message and given him some soft words of encouragement. I have suggested some reading, and that he should get in touch with me. If he continues to misplace inappropriate pictures in articles that you are watching, please let me know and I'll speak to him. Regards SilkTork 23:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)


==Mormon Corridor==It is one thing to edit, it is another thing to remove citiations that don't meet your personal criteria. Please be more considerate of others who contribute to Wikipedia. Thanks. -Staplegunther

Hi. Staplegunther appears to be OK now. I am monitoring his edits, and there are no real problems - just another editor finding his feet. If you see any other of his edits that you feel could do with some advise then let him know - I think he would welcome your support and encouragement. Any problems let me know - I'm always willing to help out. And thanks for bringing this to our attention. Unless you have any objections I will now close this case.

[edit] Image:BDPine_Park_Wash.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BDPine_Park_Wash.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 22:39, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Urban areas template

I noticed that the title Urban areas on the template links to Metropolitan areas. Is this correct? Also, Dallas really should include Ft.Worth since it is listed that way on the reference found on the Urban areas article. Postoak (talk) 01:25, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop reverting the MSA ranking. The MSA definition is the only one applied unifomrly throughout the US. Please see Talk:Combined Statistical Area for details. MSA data conforms to the single urban core definition. CSAs are not approporiate for definining single metropolitan areas as they contain several central cities. --Polaron | Talk 05:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop reverting the template. You have already reverted to your preferred version where you mix and match CSAs and MSAs four times. I have changed to the urban area definition instead of the MSA definition yet you still revert. If you persist, you may be temporarily blocked from editing per the three revert rule. --Polaron | Talk 22:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your 3RR report

The report you filed at the 3RR noticeboard actually ended up highlighting your own 3RR violation. While I'm not issuing a block for anyone at this time, I have protected the template temporarily and I encourage you to continue the discussion on the talk page. The main conflict seems to be over an understanding of semantics, so I hope 48 hours is enough time to resolve it one way or another. If need be, please get help through the proper conflict resolution process rather than continuing the edit war. Kafziel Talk 09:07, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Black Mountain / Henderson

Thanks for the clarification. It is interesting that just about every public entity, including the company that builds those radio and tv towers (http://www.americantower.com/OASISPublic/SitePublicPage/SiteListGeneratorResults.asp?SiteListType=2&cmbState=32)....

Similar in some ways to Kansas City, Mo., being across from Kansas City, Kan. Not to mention that there are Black Mountains Arizona, New Hanpshire and North Carolina.

Being as that we seem to be renaming and rebordering parts of the Vegas Valley constantly, perhaps some renaming is in order here.. Perhaps a Vegas-sounding name for our TV tower mountain. My vote: Mount Elvis. Spitwater (talk) 00:11, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Review-journal-cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Review-journal-cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
