[edit] Yonkers Train Station
Thanks for letting me know that you replaced my photo on the Yonkers Station article. My photo only showed a small part of the station and I was planning on taking some better photos, but it looks like you beat me to it. Nice work!

[edit] Quick question
Hey Daniel. I love what you've done to U.S. Route 9 in New York; if we can get a map for the article, I think we may have a shot at making US 9 in NY the first NY road-related Good Article. Quick question unrelated to US 9: I noticed that you "piped" a couple of links on New York State Route 155 with the edit summary "fix this". Personally, I prefer to have the links expanded so that anyone who may not know what "NY 32" means does not have to figure it out prior to hovering or clicking, while a link showing "New York State Route 32" is much more obvious. The full link also stems from my interpretation of WP:USSH, where I believe that the common name as shown on the page is what should be displayed on links in the article proper. My full comments on that issue are available in the last section on the talk page.
The question is why do you consider piping the links a "fix"? Regards, TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 18:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] US 6 in New York page troubles
Over in the U.S. Route 6 in New York article, there's an error in the routebox. Could you change "Western terminus of US 16/NY 17 overlap" to "US 6" for me? For some stupid reason the PC I'm using won't let me make that correction(as well as a few others), nor will it allow me to go into my user page and talk page(@#%!%#! Internal Server Error!). ---- DanTD 15:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Never mind. Somehow, I was able to fix it without signing on. ---- DanTD 16:16, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Allegra Goodman.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Allegra Goodman.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. - NYC JD (make a motion) 17:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tagging
With reference to [1] Please don't place tags without discussing on the article talk page. Better still why not work on the problem rather than merely tagging.--Golden Wattle talk 04:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- I appreciate that the tag is self explanatory but ... in your reply you did indeed empathise with why I might raise the issue with you. I don't like tagging and running if the article deserves better. will see if I can work on it. --Golden Wattle talk 04:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry about the edit conflict - it is indeed a new article and needs still a lot of work including on the structure. Regards--Golden Wattle talk 04:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New NRHP Collaboration Division
Hey, saw you were a participant in the National Register of Historic Places WikiProject. I thought I would let you know that there is a new Collaboration Division up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to Good article standard 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 division subpage. IvoShandor 11:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] USGS river discharge data
Hi Daniel Case, thanks for your work on the infoboxes of these various rivers. I do have a concern about the river discharge data: it appears to be data for a specific calendar day, averaged over time, rather than an average of data for all calendar days over time. For instance the 2,250 cfs figure for the West Fork River from the USGS page is in a table labeled "Daily discharge statistics, in cfs, for Mar 13" (i.e., today). If you click on the "more" link just above the table it takes you to another table which confirms that the "mean" figure of 2,250 is only for March 13 and not the entire period of record. I've been looking for a reliable source for mean streamflow data for U.S. rivers for a long time (including going round and round in circles on the USGS websites) and was very happy to see some progress! But I think the figures as presented would be misleading (and not an accurate statement of "average" flow) if left as they are. Cheers-- Malepheasant 19:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- I see what you mean ... sort of assumed without looking too closely that those were the avg daily figure. Is this something more like what you want (average daily discharges per year)? We could add (2005) to the footnote in question. Or you could find a way to derive an all-time average from this data. Daniel Case 04:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- It's frustrating isn't it? For the life of me I don't understand why a long-term average flow seems not to be a basic figure associated with all of these USGS gages across the country. (The information doesn't seem to be on the internet, at any rate.) Of the suggestions above, I think the first one, a single year average with the year clearly noted, is probably more clear, and the safer option. A multi-year average could be calculated from the first link you mentioned above, but I'm not sure how much math it takes to run afoul of the no original research policy. Anyway, thanks for your work and please let me know if you ever run across a good source for these numbers. --Malepheasant 05:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Geobox River
[edit] Chapter one
Hi, actually all fields should already have the _note parameter, incl. all discharge fields. But I see some fields are just badly named in the template code, I'll fix it together with the whole code if you don't mind, they'll show up then. As of the year, I believe the _note field can be used for that too. It's not primarily designed for references, it's for any type of comments related to the data. I'll let you know when I finish the upgrade. - Caroig 18:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- The cleanup's finished. The _note fields on discharges should work as expected. 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'll update the documentation and blank templates accordingly. I don't think the label Discharge elsewhere sounds very good, any idea? I'm also not very sure whether Sources confluence is good English, shoudn't it rather be Source confluence? – Caroig 19:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- Just saw some your edits, FYI: you don't need to wikilink any name (tributary etc.) in the Geoboxes if an article with the same exist, the template does it for you. Of course, yopu can if you wish, this is just a function to make their use esier. Happy editing … – Caroig (talk) 21:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Chapter Two
Up to 15 states, regions, cities should get displayed now, I guess there were more supported states etc. before the major cleanup so this was sort of regression, sorry for that (the trouble with the current wiki syntax is that all such fields must be defined in the code, no abstraction's possible, that doesnn't apologize me though).
I added discharge_max_as_of and discharge_min_as_of, hope that works, I haven't tested it. Will that be OK this way? – Caroig (talk) 05:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Youtube
Hey Daniel,
Yes, I am the Ingrid Haas from the Youtube. I was trying to clear up some statements that were put in the media. Not realizing that it was a footnote I'm sorry about that. Everything else I edited- I think is fine- but the one footnote on the bottom will have to be changed back.
How to go about changing it back? This is my first time using WIkipedia; I hope this finds you well. I'm a bit confused about it all!! Cheers, Ingrid.
[edit] Wikiproject Actors and Filmakers
Hey see my proposals at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Actor and Filmmakers and the main WP Film and Biography talk page. Know anybody who is interested? Actors and all film people articles need a body on wikipedia to upkeep them asthey need more focus -it would be a part of Biogrpahy and Film. If you are interested or know somebody who would be, please let them know and whether you think it is a good progession for the project or not. Please leave your views at the council or biogrpahy main talk page. THanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Devil Wears Prada
I changed it from 40 million to 27 million because that is what the movie grossed in its opening weekend and it grossed 40 million in its opening week.
[edit] Re: DJvac
Thanks. If you didnt already know, he also added them to it seems as many high schools as he could think of. I went through and reverted some of them, but there are just too many to go through (and I dont have that kind of time to spend on here). I will work through reverting some of them now.

[edit] List of cricketers who were murdered
David Hookes cannot be called a "possibly murdered" cricketer because the court decided that the other guy acted in self-defence. Agree that "Other deaths" doesn't sound too good but we should go for something more accurate. Tintin 04:27, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Agree, Hookes should be moved or demoted to just a "notes" section unless the title is changed. Let me just check with others. Tintin 04:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hi! and welcome
Hi Daniel,
Welcome to the Fashion WikiProject! :D Don't worry about the "first" thing, we're all in it together; as you say, most fashion articles are pretty meagre here, and we fashionistas have to stick together. You're doing great work on the D. W. Prada series, and if we can help in bringing them to FA, please let us know. Looking forward to reading your contributions, Willow 13:31, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

On 27 March 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article U.S. Post Office (Ellenville, New York), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |

[edit] Ratings
Hi there! I noticed your rating on Talk:Trinny & Susannah Undress which was classed as a stub. It was a stub before when it only consisted of three lines, but I've recently (before your rating) added viewing figures, air dates, a synopsis of every episode plus an info box. Therefore I've raised the class to start and not stub. I hope you don't have a problem with this and feel free to consult me on my talk page. I was really pleased with your rating on Talk:What Not to Wear as it was a stub before I got my hands on it! Whether you would like to rate the articles of the presenters of What Not to Wear with your work on your fashion project — it's just a suggestion. Many thanks. Eagle Owl 21:09, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- Ah well it doesn't matter, it's fixed now! With regards to joining the wikiproject — it is something I would definitely contemplate in the future but right now I have so much on my plate! I would love to join it so we'll see in the future, I have observed all the hard working going on in those sectors and it's really good.
Some suggestions though, I was wondering if you would include Trinny and Susannah in your projects, I have already reformed their articles as they were stubs before. And I looked at the Talk:Donatella Versace article and it is only classed as mid importance. In my opinion she is one of the most recognised icons in the fashion world so maybe raise that to high importance? But that's just my view. Thanks for your reply. Eagle Owl 15:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vogue (dance)
Hi, Daniel. Are Vogue (dance) and Vogue (song) related to the Vogue magazine? Shouldn't Category:Vogue contain only articles related to the magazine? Best regards --Abu badali (talk) 16:18, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- The dance move was (I believe the article says somewhere) inspired by the poses on the covers of the magazine, and likewise the song was about the dance move. Neither of them would exist without the magazine. Daniel Case 16:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- Ok. I just wanted to be sure. I'm not that familiar with the magazine. --Abu badali (talk) 16:23, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
