The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Thanks

Thx for the heads-up about the anon deleting talk page comments. I was out of town for a couple days but I've reverted his vandalism. I'll continue to do so as long as necessary.—chris.lawson (talk) 23:50, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Williamson County

Messing up that link was purely accidental. I cannot even figure out how I did it. I corrected it. -Sorry Nv8200p talk 15:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I must have been editing your previous version and saved that accidently. That's the only thing I can figure. -Nv8200p talk 15:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

River Oaks, TX

I remember seeing Pflugerville ISD mentioned in River Oaks' website. Let me check again. WhisperToMe 23:13, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NRHP listing for the Cathedral Church of Saint Matthew

Hello, and thanks for the compliment! Writing an article is much more difficult than I had thought when I began this project! I love the dear old cathedral. It is a great place.

The category I chose was Registered Historic Places in Texas. When I found that category, I did not see the distinction that this is for national listings only. For example, Lubbock High School is listed there, so I assumed this category was for any kind of historic registry. The cathedral is listed on the Texas Historical Commission - not the national. Here is the Texas link:

http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/common/viewform.asp?atlas_num=5113006861

Could you clarify for me, then, if Registered Historic Places in Texas is strictly for national listings for Texas places? If so, certainly let's edit the article accordingly.

Speaking of categories, I have a question for you, if you don't mind. Oher Wiki folks delete some categories. The way I have found categories is to look at other articles and see how they are categorised. If I feel my article fits that category, I add it to my article. I identified all of these categories:

Category:Cathedrals in the United States Category:Episcopal cathedrals of the United States Category:Anglican cathedrals Category:Cathedrals Category:Episcopal churches in the United States Category:Churches in Texas Category: Dallas landmarks Category:Registered Historic Places in Texas Category:List of Registered Historic Places in Texas Category:Religion in Texas

So given that people are deleting the categories, how do I determine if there is a fit or not? Is there an explanation for each category somewhere, or do we just go by the title? If the title, then I don't understand the deletions. I would be grateful for your guidance on this. Is there a limit to the number of categories one should have?

Thank you for the clean-up edits, especially the link to the THC. I couldn't figure out how to get it to go exactly there.

I appreciate your help very much! I'll make a small article for the Diocese of Dallas (see that nice little red link on the cathedral page) and I hope you will look at it as well.

Thank you very kindly again! Yes, it would be fantastic if, at your convenience, you would construct and populate a list of Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks from the THC Atlas. I am enjoying Wikipedia and learning more about it every day. It is just amazing. Sarum blue 13:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for closing the link! I wrote an article for the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas today. It's rather short. Take a look if you wish...and maybe look at the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth. It has some very ugly text I think. Sarum blue 14:50, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Smackbot Suggestion

Thanks so much for the suggestion about using Smackbot to add 'US' to the census articles. I have been in touch with the robot's owner and he's going to do it. Your suggestion has saved me much time. Thank you! Henry Maustrauser 11:20, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hell's Angels are Trolls - not teenagers...

Interestingly enough most teenagers who's parents have recently moved into a new neighborhood fit the description of a "troll" by being "someone who comes into an established community..." and makes "...inflammatory, rude or offensive..." remarks "...designed to annoy and antagonize the existing members [of the community] or disrupt the flow of discussion..." traffic or anything else that is in their way. Please be mindful that in the majority of cases such behavior is simply the result of making the transition from one community into another and is relatively temporary and therefore does not fit into the same catagory as when the Hell's Angels ride through town. -- PCE 00:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but what are you talking about? Deh 01:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

FM and RM

I didn't realize the RM roads were using the same infobox, I've re-added the variables. I ought to assume, since they are sharing an info/succession box, that there is no number shared by an FM road and an RM road? If there's even one such case, I'd recommend a separate prev/next system. — May. 26, '06 [05:05] <freak|talk>

Nevermind. That question has already been answered at Template talk:TxFMBox. — May. 26, '06 [05:11] <freak|talk>

RE: Anderson Mill

Thanks for the tip on the differences between the Anderson Mill CDP and the Anderson Mill listed in the Handbook of Texas. You're right about the sometimes misleading double nature of CDP names and Wikipedia's shortcomings in dealing with those -- I ran into that with Canyon Lake, Texas (the CDP) and Canyon Lake (Texas) (the lake). At any rate, I'll double check before making the CDP/HoT connection from now on. Thanks again, and take care. --JFreeman 04:03, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup tag on Texas 45

A new system is being implemented to replace {{cleanup-txsh}} using the to-do list and a parameter in the WikiProject banner on the talk page due to heavy views against custom cleanup templates. Therefore, please do not use cleanup-txsh from this point. Thank you. master son^{T - C} 15:13, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. I saw the changes on the talk page, but it wasn't clear to me from your article edit summary that it was a replacement. Thank you for explaining. Deh 18:15, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
