[edit] Change comments

How about either putting in useful change comments or just skipping them? The ones you're using are entertaining, but they make it look like you're a vandal. Thanks. –BozoTheScary 04:03, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

No apology necessary. Keep up the good edits and thanks for replying. –BozoTheScary 03:56, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreeing with BozoTheScary, you really need to put in edit summaries that reflect what changes you are actually making. Edit summaries such as "poop" and the like are extremely childish, and are really starting to get on some people's nerves. SchuminWeb (Talk) 17:51, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cities in Virginia

To let you know, since this has come up on a few occasions, cities in Virginia are independent from their surrounding counties. Therefore, despite being entirely surrounded by Augusta County, the cities of Staunton and Waynesboro are NOT part of Augusta County. They are three completely separate jurisdictions. Please do not continue to add information about Staunton and Waynesboro to material about Augusta County, and please do not add information about Augusta County to material about Staunton and Waynesboro. Thanks. SchuminWeb (Talk) 07:03, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Staunton

The White Star Mills picture got deleted, again, so I removed the blank image from the page, again. I recommend that you sort that out before posting it, again. Thanks. –BozoTheScary 21:39, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Cool. Nice pic. –BozoTheScary 18:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I can't help with pics of Staunton, but Schuminweb probably can. You also might want to peek at his talk page about why he deleted the White Star Mills pic again. Good luck. –BozoTheScary 21:45, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Do you have a shot of the White Star Mills building without a date stamp on it? SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I AM TICKED OFF

Look, Mr.Schuminn, Have you ever been to Staunton, Virginia? You know that it has a lot of very very interesting buildings, and you know that the page here on wikipedia does not tell anything about the city. And i hope you know what White Star Mills is. I have many more pictures of staunton, and I know a lot about its history. So im just trying to contribute to wikipedia, and if you don't want my "tacky" contributions then I will delete my account and never visit this site. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Weatherdude (talk • contribs) 00:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

First of all, calm down. That said, as for whether or not I have ever been to Staunton, yes. I have. Many times. I live in Stuarts Draft. And therefore I am quite familiar with Staunton. My concern is not as much the image, but the watermark contained therein - the date stamp. The date stamp needs to go, that's just all there is to it. I'm neutral on the image itself. The stamp can easily be photoshopped out of the image with very little effort - even more so since the object that the datestamp is sitting on is out of focus. And lastly, as to whether or not you wish to continue posting on Wikipedia, that is entirely your own decision. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Staunton Post Office

Oh mighty Dude of the Weather, I have a sneaking suspicion that you are not 110 years old and that you are not the creator of the Staunton Post Office image. (I figured that you probably had to have been born by 1897 to be old enough to take the pic in 1909.) I realize that saying you are the creator is the easy way to get a pic into the WP, but in this case it is clearly not true. You might want to sort it out before someone else notices. Cheers. –BozoTheScary 21:58, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Check out the Wikipedia:Uploading_images page. The short of it is that if you didn't make it, you have to contact the site you took it from to find the image owner to get permission. The image policy supposedly specifies what is needed for adequate proof of permission.

For the lazy submitter, like myself, I don't upload any images that I don't take, period. Since I don't take any pictures suitable for the WP, I don't submit images at all. –BozoTheScary 14:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Matthew Showalter

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, an article you recently created, Matthew Showalter, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 13:21, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Additionally, I see by the passage "edited by:Stephen Showalter (matthews brother)" on the page that you may have inadvertently violated Wikipedia:Username policy by allowing someone else to use your account. That could lead to your screen name being blocked. Be careful out there... SchuminWeb (Talk) 13:25, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images and such

You know whether or not you created the images in question. As we discussed last night, I would like to see you do the right thing and change the licensing on these photos. Wikipedia is a great community, and a great tool. You have to remember that as with everything, there are rules and you agreed to those rules when you signed up here. I am willing to explain not only how, but why things work. Remember: "trustworthy". I happen to personally know ShuminWeb and his work. He is correct on his observations and comments, so there is no call to take it out on him. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 14:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Waynesboro

The photo of Wayne Avenue just isn't that notable. You have some road, some trees, some cars and a bit of house. There are a lot of interesting things in town, but I'm afraid this is not it. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 20:09, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
