== Weston State Hospital ==

My understanding is that bolding is useful if:
#The title is in reasonably common use (how likely is it that this "alternative title" will be used for a link, or in the search box?)
#The alternate title is in the first sentence, or at least, the first paragraph.
#The title is an alternate name for the article topic (e.g. [[Brady Leaf]] goes to [[Ryan Leaf]] but is not bolded).
Since this is neither the first (it's been called "Weston State Hospital" for nearly a century), nor the second case (the titles are much lower in the article), I don't think it's pertinent to bold randomly in the article. [[User:Circeus|Circeus]] 13:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

==New NRHP Collaboration Division==
Hey, saw you were a participant in the [[WP:NRHP|National Register of Historic Places WikiProject]]. I thought I would let you know that there is a new [[Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Collaboration|Collaboration Division]] up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to [[WP:WIAGA|Good article]] standard [[WP:WIAFA|or higher]]. There is a simple nomination process, which you can check out on the division subpage, to make sure each candidate for collaboration has enough interested editors. This is a good way to get a lot of articles to a quality status quickly. Please consider participating. More details can be seen at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Collaboration|division subpage]]. [[User:IvoShandor|IvoShandor]] 11:11, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for setting me "right" on the left/right thing (I guess I stuck with the way we list crossings, going upstream rather than down. [[User:Daniel Case|Daniel Case]] 13:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

===Discharge figures===

I see what you mean ... sort of assumed without looking too closely that those ''were'' the avg daily figure.

Is [http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/annual/?referred_module=sw&amp;site_no=01567000&amp;por_01567000_11=1821475,00060,11,1899,2006&amp;year_type=C&amp;format=html_table&amp;date_format=YYYY-MM-DD&amp;rdb_compression=file&amp;submitted_form=parameter_selection_list this] something more like what you want (average daily discharges per year)? We could add (2005) to the footnote in question. [[User:Daniel Case|Daniel Case]] 04:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Or you could find a way to derive an all-time average from [http://waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/dvstat/?site_no=01567000&por_01567000_11=1821475,00060,11 this data]. [[User:Daniel Case|Daniel Case]] 04:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

That math, I believe, would be OK under [[WP:A#What is not original research?|the new policy]]:
<blockquote>
<i>Editors may make straightforward mathematical calculations or logical deductions based on fully attributed data that neither change the significance of the data nor require additional assumptions beyond what is in the source. It should be possible for any reader without specialist knowledge to understand the deductions.</i>
</blockquote>
I've been incorporating this new data into the geoboxes I've been adding, starting with [[Wallkill River]] (which I can look at out my window as I'm typing, and definitely hear ... I live near [[:Image:Wallkill in October 2005.jpg|this]]. It makes what's already a very time-consuming and painstaking process even more so, but it's worth it.

I ''love'' these geoboxes. Since I added one to [[Catskill Mountains]] and then [[Hudson River]], I've been on one of my obsessive little tears putting them into every article for which a map was available in the Northeast. That's how I wound up getting so involved in those West Virginia rivers ... you've done a good job there! [[User:Daniel Case|Daniel Case]] 16:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

==  Geobox River Clean-up ==

I'm planning to do some major cleanup to this [[:Category:Geobox|Geobox]]. Based on this one I developped a few more similar Geoboxes to cover other geographic features and the "framework" has developped too. I'd like to bring the Geobox River template up-to-date with all other templates in this series. Don't worry, you would probably not notice – no fields are going to be removed, there will be no changes in  the output, it's just cleaning-up the code.

Anyway, you seem to be definitely the most active user of this template, the most experienced one so I'd like to ask for some obeservations. Are then any issues, bugs, do you have any ideas for improvement? These would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. (I've checked your edits, there's some inconsistency in some of the note fields concerning the field names, I see you corrected some, thanks for that, I'll try to track all remaning down.) – [[User:Caroig|Caroig]] 19:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

:The cleanup's finished. I've checked the cleaned template on some pages and it seems everything's alright, I'll update the documentation and blank templates accordingly. I've renamed (shortened) a few fields but their old names are accepted too. If there are any issues, I'd appreciate if you report them. There are also some extra functions and a field for a second map. I've made some rather cosmetic changes concerning home some values and fields are displayed. I don't think the label '''Discharge elsewhere''' sounds very good, any idea? I'm also not very sure whether it wouldn't be better English to have '''Source confluence''' instead of current '''Sources confluence'''. – [[User:Caroig|Caroig]] 19:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

::Second attempt. There's certain inconsistency in the template implementation which, until now, hasn't been very clear to me. Well, now I know. The problem was that some older pages have blank fields for metric fields when the values are in the imperial fields. Unfortunatelly, I was checking the imperial units (and actually the whole new code) on [[Monongahela River]] which is of a later date and doesn't have those blank metric fields. On initial lauch of the Geobox River I provided only one template which contained both types of fields, the newer blank templates have either metric or imperial values so one can't have problems with this. If you can, please start new pages with one of those blank templates from the bottom of the Geobox River page, they should always contain up-to-date fields. And another thing, when specifying the image or map width, you don't have to (actually shouldn't) put in ''px'', just the number. Under certain circumstances it causes problems with alignment in some browsers. I apologize for the temporary broken output. Should be Ok now. – [[User:Caroig|Caroig]] 21:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

:::Fixed, the problem was that all newer Geobox use ''long_EW'' fields instead of ''long_WE'' which is in the Geobox River. The template now accepts both, I'll probably swap this using [[AWB]] fro better consistency. I've also corrected this in the blank templates. Again, thanks a lot for your feedback. – [[User:Caroig|Caroig]] 07:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

== Big Wheeling Creek ==

Thanks for joining me on [[Wheeling Creek (West Virginia)|Wheeling Creek]] and creating the article. I simply started the watershed list and graph because I was curious. I've asked the Wikiproject editors about historical crests and floods, but do you think that should be on the article page or on a separate entry? [[User:Mphamilton|Mphamilton]] 06:51, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

== Maybe I need clarification... ==

Maybe you could clarify this for me. I really would like to include flood information on [[Wheeling Creek (West Virginia)|Wheeling Creek]] most notably the 1963, 1972, 1990, and 2004 floods on Big Wheeling Creek. Can these go on the Wheeling Creek article page rather than in separate articles for each event, or can a subsection be created on [[Wheeling Creek (West Virginia)|Wheeling Creek]] for historical flood events?

==External links==

Dear Malepheasant,

Why are our links being removed? These maps are community based and official maps of the city commissioned in some cases by the chamber of commerce, parks amd recreation department, or other local community group?

If a the local newspaper or radio station in a community has a link on this Web site for their respective community, then there should be a place for our community based maps. 

The cartoon maps are not spamming nor are they commercially selling any item.

I would appreciate a dialog over this issue.

Best regards,

Mark

== External Links / City Articles ==

Don't you think valid links on how to form a business in the city of Rochester is a valid external link. I don't see how it's not. [[User:Kiamori|Kiamori]] 00:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Was it necessary to come to my talk page to respond and then leave a rude/arrogant comment? Apparently so.

I have to disagree with your response.

<blockquote>
Regarding your question about the external links you're wanting to add to articles about cities in Minnesota -- the links aren't appropriate because Wikipedia is not a directory and it's not an indiscriminate collection of information. Per Wikipedia's external links guidelines, "it is not Wikipedia's purpose to include a comprehensive list of external links related to each topic." "Links should be kept to a minimum." Avoid linking to "sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: the link should be directly related to the subject of the article." Using more general logic, what if I'm in Minnesota and I want to obtain a driver's license? Should I look to the Wikipedia article about Rochester? No, because that's not Wikipedia's purpose. The same applies to learning how to start a business. 
</blockquote> 
If someone were to want to start a business in Rochester, they would follow those same links to legally register the business. [[User:Kiamori|Kiamori]] 00:41, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that you have edited [[Wabash Avenue YMCA]] this week, which is one of the new [[WP:CHICOTW]] stubs. This week, we [[WP:WPChi]] are focussing on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Stubify|stubifying]] the numerous redlinks in [[Chicago Landmark]] with a goal of getting over half the redlinks stubified (we began with about 25%).

When reviewing this week's new stub [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chicago/COTW/History/CLstubification|contributing editors]] your name was absent.

== Chicago Landmark Stubification ==

I am writing you because you either (1) edited [[Chicago Landmark]] 5 weeks ago when it was the [[WP:CHICOTW]] (2) edited it or created a stub last week when we had the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Stubify|stubification]] drive for it or (3) you nominated an article to be the CHICOTW in the last few days.

I have finally had a chance to take a tally on last week’s stubification effort.  Based on my manual count we now have 109 bluelinks on a total of 241 landmarks.  Preliminary indications were that for our article to be successful at [[WP:FLC]] we would need to eventually rename it (something like [[List of Chicago Landmarks]]) and get the majority of the landmarks linked.  Based on my cursory count we need to write 12 more articles to get to a majority.  It would be great if you might be able to assist by creating a couple stubs to assist in this effort.  Here are some of the stubs that were created during last week’s efforts: [[Black Metropolis-Bronzeville District]], [[Historic Michigan Boulevard District]], [[Arthur H. Compton House]] & [[One North LaSalle]].  Among the articles still redlinked are 2 buildings on this week’s CHICOTW, [[Magnificent Mile]] ([[Perkins, Fellows & Hamilton Office and Studio]], [[Woman's Athletic Club]]).  Recall that each redlink on [[Chicago Landmark]] has a footnote to a reference that gives you enough info to create a stub.  If you create a new stub please add it to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chicago#Newly_Created_Chicago_Related_Pages]] so that we can keep track of the progress.

== More help needed ==

If you have been following along at [[WP:FLC#List_of_Chicago_Landmarks]] you know we need help creating stubs for the List to make it a more useful list and help it achieve [[WP:FLC]] status.  Since I reminded people of this 7 stubs have been created.  We need about 40 more to be safe although we may have a successful candidacy with the article as it stands.

Some of you may also be following the success of [[WP:CHICOTW]] at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/COTW/Good Articles]].  For the last 4 weeks no one has been very active.  Thus, I am fearful that [[Historic Michigan Boulevard District]], [[Harold Washington Cultural Center]], [[Crown Fountain]], & [[Art Institute of Chicago Building]] will all fail at [[WP:GAC]] when their turns come up.  Also, [[Magnificent Mile]] did not experience the collaborative spirit.  Our reputation as a successful collaboration is at stake.  In addition to making stubs for the FLC we need your contribution to our collaborations. I am sorry to pull you away from whatever other wikipleasures you may be experiencing, but we need your help.

== Link ==

Why would you remove my link from the Mason/Point/Mason County sites? That link is for people who do not know about that site who are from Point Pleasant, Mason, or Mason County to look at and keep up to date on people in their home town and even look at the past. It's nothing bad so why delete it? I mean honestly. It's a great thing that I do and people here LOVE my site and want people to find out about it. I didn't know that showing people a link to the sports of their hometowns was a bad thing

Pretty bad thing to do to take people away from a chance of seeing their past.--<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Gobigblacks|Gobigblacks]] ([[User talk:Gobigblacks|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gobigblacks|contribs]]) 22:38, 11 July, 2007</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

First off, I was not ADVERTISING the site. I was putting it on there because it has something to do with POINT PLEASANT kind of like the MOTHMAN or anything of that sort. People appreciate that site and i'm sure people across the nation that went to our school would love to know that it exists. That site is a 100% volunteer site and I do not need to advertise so try again on that one.

People have Mothman links on the Point Pleasant page. Mothman is a figure in Point Pleasant just like high school sports are a figure in Point Pleasant. The Mothman has nothing to do with Point Pleasant, it just happened to happen here. 

It was not adverstising. People deserve to know that sites like that exist. ----<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Gobigblacks|Gobigblacks]] ([[User talk:Gobigblacks|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gobigblacks|contribs]]) 13:15, 12 July, 2007</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

==Very belated reply==
Some months ago I prodded you to disambig Laurel Fork to [[Laurel Fork (Cheat River)]]. I've meant to reply for a long time to say that you are probably right that there is no real need to disambig. Sorry to have made trouble. Contrarywise, I'm not sure if I posted here about it, but your comments wrt the Monongahela maps I made are something I reread now and then; reading them makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Just wanted to let you know if I hadn't before. Thanks very much! Also, I think I'd read something about the "hand" shape of the tributaries including Laurel Fork. I wish there was similar lore about the rivers of Washington state. It seems that in the east, and perhaps especially in Appalachia, there is an old and deep connection to the land, at least among some people. In Washington, there is a strong love of the outdoors, of hiking and wilderness, but even so, there seems to be a lack of depth compared to the Appalachians. ...someday I'll get around to exploring West Virginia!

==Historical Population Figures== 
I happen to have been looking over your user talk page to see where you got those historical population figures that you contributed to some of the West Virginia city articles like [[Charleston, West Virginia|Charleston]] and [[Huntington, West Virginia|Huntington]] that I saw, so I went to [[User talk:Caponer|Caponer]] user talk page and happen to find the [http://www.census.gov/prod/www/abs/decennial/index.htm web site] to all that information. I added historical population figure charts to Ohio city articles like [[Mansfield, Ohio|Mansfield]], [[Canton, Ohio|Canton]], [[Springfield, Ohio|Springfield]], and [[Chillicothe, Ohio|Chillicothe]]. If it wasen't for you then I would had never known where to look for all that information that I needed. Thank you so much for your support. Happy editing!---[[User:OHWiki|OHWiki]] 01:52, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

== Geobox 2 ==

[[Image:Globe.svg|64px|left]]Hello, this message is sent to you because you've shown some interest in the Geobox templates in past. There is now a new version (aka Geobox 2) which supersedes all older Geoboxes (aka Geobox 1). The major difference is there are no feature specific templates (Settlement, River, Mountain range etc.) but just one master template which can handle all type of data. There are a couple of new features and many new fields making the template much more versatile so now it can be used for virtually any geography related feature without the need to create a specific template. 

The switch to Geoboxes 2.0 is highly recommended as the new template has a much more effective code, which renders faster than the old one (with much smaller pre-expand size, it can be one third to one fourth of the pre-expand size of Geoboxes 1). To convert aa page from Geobox 1 to Geobox 2, there are two ways:
* By changing the template header: <pre><nowiki>{{Geobox Settlement</nowiki></pre>becomes<pre><nowiki>{{Geobox|Settlement</nowiki></pre>Although some field names have been changed in order to be unified, the old names are accepted too. For any settlement Geobox use ''<nowiki>{{Geobox|Settlement</nowiki>'' and set the settlement type (city, borough, town, village) in ''category'' field. Calling e.g. ''<nowiki>{{Geobox|City</nowiki>'' will work as well but it's not the recommended way (from technical reasons).
* By a [[Template:Geobox/legend#Geobox_1.0_.3E_Geobox_2.0_conversion|semi-automated tool]] which reorders the field names in the Geobox 2 style and also renames the few changed field names.

There are several unresolved issues at the [[Template_talk:Geobox#Issues|Geobox talk page]], please add your comments and of course any other ideas you might come with as well as bug reports. – [[User:Caroig|Caroig]] ([[User_talk:Caroig|talk]]) 09:36, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

== I Saw My Edits Got Removed! ==


Hi!

I'm new to Wikipedia and I saw that my edits regarding the Wabash River were removed. I guess I didn't site them correctly -- good catch! I'm working from a massive amount of personal journals that were recently willed to me. Fascinating stuff! I do I site this so that this incredible information can be part of Wikipedia?

Thanks so much, and sorry if I scared you! I didn't mean to!

From,

[[User:Your friend, Clay|Your friend, Clay]] ([[User talk:Your friend, Clay|talk]]) 01:34, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

== Also, regarding the State Capitol Building in St. Charles ==


You were probably right to take that one down. I was working off some stories my uncle had told me. He was an architect. Pretty neat guy actually. I thought he knew a lot more than he did, apparently. Thanks for taking that one down. I think I probably got it wrong.

Thanks again! Can't wait to hear what you think I should do about the journals and the Wabash River.

|-
| 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.

== Rights to your photograph ==

I was wondering how I might obtain the rights to your Wilmington, DE photograph, so I may use it on my website?

::::::::::::::Read your "edit summary" on Stephenson WV...ha ha ha. Look, the place that GNIS calls Stphension, is actually an old town named Devils Fork and they got it wrong. AND YES, I have spoken to Lou Yost at GNIS about it anmd yes, its a creek that comes off of the river. Stephenson, had mines in Wyoming County, Devils Fork, had mines in Raleigh, BUT GNIS says one became the other, no, not so, sorry. The deal was Devils Fork is from the 20's. AND after spending a few years in the WV Culture archives and after actually interviewing people who worked at the Devils Fork mine, and recalling a creek they fished out of, which did indeed come off of the river, swell.

Hi. You have uploaded many good photos :-) I think the files should be copied to Commons so they can be used on other Wikipedias. The transfer to Commons will look much better if the license is changed to "self" but I will not do that unless I'm sure to do it right. Just to be 100 % sure could you perhaps confirm that you are the photographer when Tim is mentioned? --[[User:MGA73|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73|talk]]) 13:13, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

== would like to use your image of the Missouri River at St. Joseph, MO in a children's book, please contact me! ==

Hello Tim Kiser! My name is Wanda and I'm a media researcher for Capstone, we publish children's educational books for struggling readers. I'm working on a book titled "The Diary of Sally Hester, A Covered Wagon Girl" and in my search for an image of the Missiour river found your great shot on Wikipedia!

I would like to ask for permission to use your image in our book..if you let me know your email I can send you the image I am looking at so you can see just which one I'd like to use. You would get a photo credit in the book as well as a copy for your archives when it is printed.

Well I guess I'll start there and see what you think Tim! Hope to hear from you soon and have a great day!

Sincerely,

Wanda Winch

== Event page ==

Hello, thanks for creating this page! I hope this event goes well. Just a recommendation - when you create an event like this, it's best to add categories for the event so it can be tracked (I've done this), and add it to the [[Wikipedia:Meetup#Future_meetups|calendar]] and [[Template:Meetup/March 2017|template]]. This allows people to find and track it, and also will likely increase the likelihood of remote support from experienced contributors who can correct mistakes on pages created and give feedback to new contributors. Hope this is helpful to you, let me know if any thoughts or questions. [[User:Blythwood|Blythwood]] ([[User talk:Blythwood|talk]]) 00:32, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

== Eagle River name change ==

Hi @[[User:TimK MSI|TimK MSI]], I see that in your [[User:TimK MSI/articles|page about articles]], you have a link to [[Eagle River (Wisconsin River tributary)|Eagle River]] in Wisconsin (the river, not the city). I'm writing this comment because I have moved the page title from "[[Eagle River (Wisconsin)]]" to "[[Eagle River (Wisconsin River tributary)]]" because the old title already was the same as the title of the article about the [[Eagle River, Wisconsin|city]] except for having "Wisconsin" in parenthesis. But I also changed the old title from a redirect to the new page to a disambiguation page, so the link should be updated.

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]
