[edit] Henry Miller Shreve

Thanks for the additions and source citations. Can you recommend a good biography of Shreve? — BrianSmithson 22:34, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Robert. Me again. Thanks again for your work on the Henry Miller Shreve article. The page currently includes a note that the article does not cite its references or sources, but you have been adding several of these. If you feel the article is adequately referenced from the sources you have cited, please feel free to remove the notice from the top. Thanks again. — BrianSmithson 22:18, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Alfred Hunt 2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Alfred Hunt 2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 13:05, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alfred Hunt image

Carnildo,

I thought that I had provided the source and copyright information on the image Alfred Hunt 2.jpg.

Since Alfred Hunt is a relative I have inherited this photograph. It is my personal property. I have no knowledge that this photograph has ever been published or granted a copyright.

Your assistance in this matter is appreciated. Kindly keep me informed.

Robert M. Hunt 13:54, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

In that case, probably the best thing to do is make a note of that fact on the image description page and add the {{PD-self}} tag. --Carnildo 02:32, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bone repair article

Hello there, Robert. Thanks for adding information to the Bone repair article, it's nice to see someone of your stature adding information to the wikipedia. I've updated the article slightly, in that it's layout has been tidied up, and added into headers so that if there's other information along those lines, you can add it easily, without having to re-arrange the article.

The references are quite easy to add , just make sure to add them after lines which you've referenced from a book. I already added the bone repair book you had referenced before, and given it the name "ham bonerepair", so if you want to reference it, just use; "<ref name="ham_bonerepair"></ref>" and it'll automatically appear at the bottom of the page.

Many thanks, James. James S 23:10, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Robert. Excellent submissions to this article; thanks for contributing. However, for the purposes of verifiability, could you include a short summary for the notes you have created? It would be much easier for people wanting to verify the information to identify which parts of the text you've used for referencing the article.
For example:
^  Author(xxxx) - In chapter title, author refers to x as being a key factor in the formation of granular tissue. Etc, etc.

Hi. I saw Your changes in the osteon article and looked at Your user page and discovered that You've worked in an area I'm insterested in (bone repair). Unfortunately, I can't find the Wik article on it that the above people refer to. What is the article's title? Kdammers (talk) 03:29, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Hunt (chaplain)

Mr. Hunt,

Thanks for your note re: Robert Hunt, chaplain at Jamestown. I am satisfied that the Sussex Archaeological records are correct on this matter, at least as viewed by the then-Archbishop of Canterbury (Richard Bancroft) and Hakluyt. Of all the sources over the years that've speculated on this, this is the most credible. I have indeed read Woolley's book, and am co-editor of the new edition of "Virginia's True Founder".

Per your suggestion, I've separated the references and added the names of Hunt's wife & children.--Blackehart 20:17, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Enterprise

Hi, got your message about the Enterprise sternwheeler. Yes, I should change it, now that other Enterprises have articles. We suspected this naming issue would come up[1] even in BC there were at least two notable Enterprise sternwheelers, and one sidewheeler and God know how many steamships. I'll move it tonight when I get in from work to Enterprise (1862), but I think an admin has to be the one to get rid of the redirect Enterprise (sternwheeler) that will be left behind.CindyBotalk 15:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

All done, I even moved the links so they don't hit the redirect should Enterprise (sternwheeler) need to be deleted, not sure on the policy there.CindyBotalk 00:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Monongahela and Ohio Steam Boat Company

I stumbled upon this article by pressing the "random article" button, and I've been giving it a facelift by incorporating old histories into the main text and other such things. Great job with the research, by the way. Because of wikipedia's rules on verifiability, however, I removed the facts that came from privately held letters. If a reader cannot verify the truth of a statement in an article, it can't be in wikipedia, and I'm assuming these privately held letters aren't accessible to the public. I'm writing you here because one way around this might be to scan them and upload them onto wikimedia commons (commons.wikimedia.org), where they could stay and be used as a reference for everyone to see them. I'm not sure if this is a perfect solution, because I'm not sure where wikipedia stands on using user-uploaded primary source documents that have never been collected or published elsewhere, but that would be ok in my mind. Anyways it's a thought. The commons would probably be the better place to put that sort of document (as opposed to uploading the image into wikipedia), since it might not be included in a wikipedia article as an image. Let me know if you'd like help uploading things to the commons. It's actually a better place to put your other public-domain images as well, because then they can be used easily by wikipedias in other languages. Happy editing!

[edit] Mount Pleasant (Burlington County, New Jersey)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Mount Pleasant (Burlington County, New Jersey), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Mount Pleasant (Shreve). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

[edit] Bethlehem Steel Plant Design

are you of any relation to Robert. W. Hunt? pioneering metallurgist, chemist, and mechanical engineer?

Not to my knowledge. Robert M. Hunt (talk) 13:03, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dave Robinson: Mount Holly vs. Mount Laurel

Your latest edit of Mount Holly Township, New Jersey removes an entry for Dave Robinson as a notable, noting an edit summary that "Dave Robinson and I grew up together in Mount Laurel!!!". I don't know you and I don't know Dave Robinson, but I so know that both sources provided show that Robinson was born in Mount Holly. Regardless of your personal relationship (which I will presume is true) or the number of exclamation points provided, the fact that he grew up in Mount Laurel with you does not preclude his birth in Mount Holly. There is no valid justification for removal of sourced material in this case; He belongs in both articles. Alansohn (talk) 23:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Dave Robinson was born in Mount Holly at Burlington County Memorial Hospital but he was never a resident of that town because he did not live there. After leaving the hospital in 1941 he lived with his family across from the school and near the Mount on Mt. Laurel-Hainesport Road, Mount Laurel, NJ 08054 until 1959. The information in this link supports my position which I know is accurate: http://www.americola.com/sites/Dave_Robinson It states: "Dave Robinson (born May 3, 1941) was a former American Football player in the NFL and College. He lived in Mount Laurel, New Jersey and attended Moorestown High School, graduating June 1959." Robert M. Hunt (talk) 00:04, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
    • I had an inkling that the source was questionable, but clicking on the Americola link proves it. The Americola page for Dave Robinson is an exact copy of the Wikipedia page for Dave Robinson. You cannot use Wikipedia as a source for anything, let alone using a copy of the Wikipedia page as a source to prove what's on that same page. Even if the source was taken as valid, it only says that he lived at some point in Mount Laurel and attended Moorestown High School. There is nothing in anything provided that contradicts the two independent reliable sources that he was born in Mount Holly. Alansohn (talk) 00:37, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
