[edit] Welcome

Hi, and welcome to Wikpedia! I've noticed your edits to various Pensacola, Florida-related articles, especially the creation of Fort McRee... great job! Are you from Pensacola, out of curiousity? Again, welcome, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions or problems with anything. blankfaze | (беседа!) 18:44, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I was about to chime in the same question. We're both from Pensacola. Mike H 18:46, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Simming

Hello, Do you mind if I make some changes to the simming page?

Some things off the top of my head... Move the first sentence up to the top and start overview with info about players and how the basic premise is to play a character in an imaginary universe, etc. With the blurb about simming organizations, I want to add that unlike most role-playing games, there is no company or central organization behind simming... so people have organized clubs.

I also want to move how to play up and expand it, and add a bit more about history.

Thanks --Chas Hammer 04:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't mind at all. I've had writing a proper introduction for the simming article on my list of things to do for a while but I haven't gotten a chance to do it. I look forward to seeing your changes. :) Let me know if you need any help with it. WarpFlyght 03:38, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar - Simming Organization

For numerous additions to a horrific links hub, turning it into an article that actually details simming organisations. - Hayter 11:25, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Georgia Tech

I think I'm about ready to move it out of my userspace, but I'd like you to have a look at it before I do so. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 20:13, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I think the WikiProject page looks pretty good! Have you looked at laying out the "Articles to work on" section in a full-width box, though? It is very long, admittedly, but it's kind of distracting having things off to the left of it for its entire length. • WarpFlyght (talk) 20:39, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I could move the images, templates, and categories sections to the right, but then the page feels "lopsided" to me. Perhaps you'd like a project subpage with a {{todo}} box that points to that list as its content? The title of the section could be a link to that subpage, and it's an easy matter to redirect the todo box content to the /Article subpage. A little complex, yes. But it sounds workable. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 21:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

How does this look? It is currently linked from the title of the "Articles to work on" page. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 21:29, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Looks great! I say go for it. Send me a note when you get it copied out of your userspace! :) • WarpFlyght (talk) 21:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

It's all moved. You get the honor of being the first person invited to the project! Check out this sweet template I made:

As a current or past contributor to a related article, I thought I'd let you know that I've started WikiProject Georgia Tech, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Georgia Tech. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks and related articles. Thanks! —Disavian (talk/contribs) 22:51, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Location of Crawford Long Hospital

FYO, Crawford Long Hospital is in MIDTOWN, not downtown Atlanta. However, it's been said that she was killed at Peachtree Street around the 140 block in downtown, so I don't know which 'place of death' is correct so we can leave it as just "killed crossing Peachtree".→ R Young {^yakł_talk} 13:47, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I stand corrected, my apologies on that. It's a bit further up Peachtree than I thought it was. Leaving it "killed crossing Peachtree" is fine by me! • WarpFlyght (talk) 23:53, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gulf Breeze High School Article

Thanks a lot for helping to make a decent article for GBHS and all of the other articles you've contributed to that had to do with the Pensacola area. You've done a great job to help represent the Pensacola area on Wikipedia.Pat 02:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the compliment! The same definitely goes for you. I have been seeing your name appearing more and more in the edit summaries on my watchlist. Keep up the good work, and thanks! • WarpFlyght (talk) 07:01, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Self-promotion in Pensacola Beach article

Great work on the Pensacola area articles.

I noticed you deleted the annoying self-promotional paragraphs about the band Lunamantra from Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, and Destin. The same sort of thing is still listed on the Pensacola Beach article and probably should be deleted as well, but I don't think I'm yet qualified to do so. Want to take a look?

Thanks, Amanal 06:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I did some cleanup, but it needs more attention than I can give it right now. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 15:20, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out, Amanal – and thanks for beating me to it, Disavian. ;) The Pensacola Beach article definitely needs attention. I added a few sources and reworked several paragraphs. There's a long way to go, obviously... Again, thanks Amanal, and I look forward to seeing you around Wikipedia! • WarpFlyght (talk • contribs) 23:02, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Unfortunately, we don't have much to work with there. I think removing most of the external links significantly reduced the article length :p —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 23:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent news

• Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate nominated for GA status
• I created Image:Pensacola City Density 1433px.jpg and put it on Pensacola, Florida#Demographics
• Pensacola, Florida has a thought-out todo list based on the content and layout of Columbus, Ohio and others
• I'm writing articles for people on List of Georgia Institute of Technology alumni. Not that you care about a hundred one-year NFL players in the 70s, but hey, the FA reviewers expressed a concern about redlinks. We do care about Chris Klaus, though. $15 million should have bought him an article by now :p
• There's a new panorama at the top of Georgia Institute of Technology#Campus
• Most of Georgia Tech traditions has been referenced. It's almost GA class IMO.

And that's just the past week or so. :) —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 06:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
