:Hello! [[User:Tyx|tyx]]

== Question about [[Weis Markets]] ==

Why do multiple anonymous users feel the need to continually add the same nonsense to [[Weis Markets]]? -- [[User:Jim Douglas|Jim Douglas]] [[User talk:Jim Douglas|<sup style="color:green;">(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Jim Douglas|<sub style="color:gray;">(contribs)</sub>]] 04:41, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
*I'm wondering the same thing. --[[User:Captadam|Captadam]] 12:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

:The guidelines for when it might be appropriate to semi-protect an article are described here: [[WP:SEMI]].
:If it turns out that you do need for a page to be semi-protected, the request is made here: [[WP:RFP]].
:But if the vandalism is only coming from one or two users at a given time, the appropriate response is to warn them on their talk page using progressively more strongly-worded messages, typically in the following sequence:
:#<nowiki>{{subst:test1-n|Weis Markets}} -- ~~~~</nowiki>
:#<nowiki>{{subst:test2-n|Weis Markets}} -- ~~~~</nowiki>
:#<nowiki>{{subst:test3-n|Weis Markets}} -- ~~~~</nowiki>
:#<nowiki>{{subst:test4-n|Weis Markets}} -- ~~~~</nowiki>
:(You can find these template messages and many more here: [[WP:UTM]])]
:If the vandalism persists after each successive warning, give him the next one; if it persists past the final warning, go to [[WP:AIV]] and follow the instructions there to request that an administrator temporarily block him. -- [[User:Jim Douglas|Jim Douglas]] [[User talk:Jim Douglas|<sup style="color:green;">(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Jim Douglas|<sub style="color:gray;">(contribs)</sub>]] 14:41, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

:Ok, I've had enough.  I just requested semi-protection for [[Weis Markets]], here: [[WP:RFP]]. -- [[User:Jim Douglas|Jim Douglas]] [[User talk:Jim Douglas|<sup style="color:green;">(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Jim Douglas|<sub style="color:gray;">(contribs)</sub>]] 01:22, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

:It's now semi-protected.  That should slow him down a bit, at least. -- [[User:Jim Douglas|Jim Douglas]] [[User talk:Jim Douglas|<sup style="color:green;">(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Jim Douglas|<sub style="color:gray;">(contribs)</sub>]] 01:41, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

== Retail company infobox ==

Hey why is [[:User:Captadam/template:Infobox Retail|this template]] in your user space?  I think it's rather a good idea, because this template could address a few parameters that are missing in the general [[:Template:Infobox Company|company infobox]] that are specific to retail companies.  Namely, the number of stores or locations is mildly important when comparing, say, [[Weis Markets]] to [[Albertson's]], right?  ...And I'm sure there are other parameters that may be helpful.  I've come up with a few solutions to this problem and left them at the generic infobox's [[Template talk:Infobox Company#Additional Parameters|talk page]].  Let me know what you think! [[User:Tomtheman5|<b style="color:#08457E;">tiZom</b>]][[User talk:Tomtheman5|<sub style="color:black;">(2¢)</sub>]] 07:05, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

== [[Weis Markets]] Semi-protection ==

It's been a month; let's take a shot at unprotecting it.  I've responded to a comment on [[Talk:Weis Markets]] and I've requested unprotection.  If our AOL friend hasn't found himself a new hobby, we can always slap the protection back on. -- [[User:Jim Douglas|Jim Douglas]] [[User talk:Jim Douglas|<sup style="color:green;">(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Jim Douglas|<sub style="color:gray;">(contribs)</sub>]] 04:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
:Sounds good to me. He's probably moved on to bigger and better things to vandalize. --[[User:Captadam|Captadam]] 14:12, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Just a quick heads up -- it's unprotected now, but we'll slap the protection back on if we need to. -- [[User:Jim Douglas|Jim Douglas]] [[User talk:Jim Douglas|<sup style="color:green;">(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Jim Douglas|<sub style="color:gray;">(contribs)</sub>]] 02:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

== South Penn ==

What's with the "first" and "second" distinction? It was the exact same company, just under new management. [[User:Choess|Choess]] 01:03, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

: Well ... not really. Vanderbilt's group picked up an unused charter and used it for an entirely different project. The fictitious person entity might have been the same, but everything surrounding it--backers, financiers, right-of-way, history--were different. Anyway, I was just trying to figure out a way to differentiate between the two because they had entirely different histories. "First" and "second" might not have been the best choice ... perhaps a better solution will arise. --[[User:Captadam|Captadam]] 02:03, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

== Our persistent friend ==

Just for fun, I checked whois for several of his IPs.  FWIW, it appears that he lives in [[Altoona, Pennsylvania]]:
:{{ipvandal|72.72.192.250}}
:{{ipvandal|71.162.44.179}}
:{{ipvandal|209.158.14.75}}

And he goes to school at [[State College, Pennsylvania|Penn State]]:
:{{ipvandal|128.118.173.47}}
Since this is clearly a persistent long-term vandal who has no intention of stopping {see [[User talk:71.162.44.179]]}, it would be a good idea to send him {{template|test4im|Weis Markets}} each time he shows up and posts the same old nonsense from a new IP, then if he repeats it from that IP, report him to [[WP:AIV]] with a note about his long-term abuse. -- [[User:Jim Douglas|Jim Douglas]] [[User talk:Jim Douglas|<sup style="color:green;">(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Jim Douglas|<sub style="color:gray;">(contribs)</sub>]] 04:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

== Randy Newman ==

According to [http://www.scr.org/season/99-00season/snl.99-00/snlms6.html]: "When you write a song for yourself, people sort of tend to expect the 'I' in the song to be yourself. That's not the case in my songs."  So if you want to say that Newman's background is described by "Dixie Flyer," you're going to have to come up with some evidence.  Yes, it is based on his experiences, but that doesn't mean everything that happens in the song happened to Newman.  (By the way, I see you're a fellow E/Eels fan.  I assume you've heard the French interview where E mentions Newman as an influence and the interviewer isn't sure whether or not he's kidding....)  Anyway, I have the box set liner notes somewhere and that might have something to say about it when I find them.... [[User:Calbaer|Calbaer]] 01:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
:Good old Randy. If you're curious, I wasn't the anonymous poster who posted the lyrics originally, but I saw them (after you reverted them) and thought, "hey, done right, that could be a cool addition to the entry." --[[User:Captadam|Captadam]] 14:29, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

=={{{header-text|[[:Ohio Central Railroad]]}}}==
A tag has been placed on [[:Ohio Central Railroad]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G11|the general criteria for speedy deletion]], particularly item 11, as well as [[WP:SPAM|the guidelines on spam]]. 

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> on the top of the article and leave a note on [[Talk:Ohio Central Railroad|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|citations]] from [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] to ensure that the article will be [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiable]]. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.<!-- Template:Spam-warn -->  [[User:Dougie WII|Dougie WII]] 14:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

: I disagreed with this assessment, because [[Class III railroad]]s are generally considered notable on Wikipedia.  I restored the article, so if you're willing to continue expanding it, please do.  If you want any assistance with it, or just want to collaborate with others, check out [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains]] where you can find a large number of participants.  --[[User:Elkman|Elkman]] <sup>[[User talk:Elkman|(Elkspeak)]]</sup> 15:44, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

|-
| style="color:#000"| 
There is a eight ton rock in Ohio that was removed from the [[Ohio River]]. This rock is known as the [[Indian Head Rock]]
Dating back to the early 1800’s, this rock was seen sticking out of the Ohio River and used as a navigational mark for barges along the river.  The names of citizens from the town of [[Portsmouth, Ohio]] are carved into the rock from the late nineteenth a early twentieth centuries.  Some of the names were of well known families from Ohio.  They would swim out to the rock, have their picture taken with it or simply carve their names into it.<br>
With the advent of the Locks and Dams along the Ohio River, the rock eventually was submerged, but the legend lived on.  
A gentleman from [[Ironton, Ohio]] located the rock after searching a very long time for it, and he and a crew of scuba divers recovered the rock and took it to the shore to be donated to Ohio for historical value.<br>
After hearing the news about the rock being removed, [[Kentucky]] introduced legislation against the removal of the rock.  They also want the diver who found it to be prosecuted for removing the rock.  Kentucky owns the greatest part of the land the river runs on.
Even the Army Corp. of Engineers got involved as to how to move the rock without damaging it.  Kentucky wants to have it returned to the river.

[[User:Reedy Bot|Reedy Bot]] and [[User:ShepBot|ShepBot]] are currently hard at work tagging all of the Ohio articles.  We may need to have an assessment drive when the bots are finished.  Think of it as a late [[spring cleaning]].  Please note your opinions on the project talkpage if you would be interested in helping!
