No, you didn't miss the update, because it hasn't been posted yet! At least, it's not showing up on my PC.

Victuallers said he would do it and I know he posted the hooks to the update page, but the update is not yet showing up on the mainpage. Gatoclass (talk) 13:09, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

It's finally showing up, did you do that? Gatoclass (talk) 13:13, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, the right one is showing up now, what does that mean, did Victuallers forget to purge the cache? I was waiting around for the update to be posted so I could do the notifications, and suddenly you've done them all and the update isn't even showing! Gatoclass (talk) 13:16, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I was just wondering whether or not you are supposed to purge the cache. I think that it's part of the update routine isn't it? Gatoclass (talk) 13:19, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I see it's part of the routine. Vic must just have overlooked it, I guess because he is busy ATM.

Thanks for coming back to purge the cache anyhow, and for doing the notifications :) Gatoclass (talk) 13:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I saw your notification at WP:Rivers. I looked it over, and have a few thoughts about structure, but need to mull it over a little more. Also, some thoughts about the coord stuff, which is more general than this article, but I may bring up anyway. -Pete (talk) 17:16, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I've provided a few comments. But hey, we're up to yesterday now on the PR backlog. Good job all round I'd say! Wonder if you could roll this concept out to WP:GAN as the backlog there is always a bit of a nightmare.... The Rambling Man (talk) 18:06, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Is there any nice bot operator you could approach to run over the PRs and update the backlog notice say four times a day? The Rambling Man (talk) 08:17, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I too am pretty sure that the dam was built in the 1950s and it may say so in the pdf documents about the NRHP survey. Dincher (talk) 03:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I did see that Bok is up for review. It's a relief. The changes to Black Moshannon are looking pretty good. When do you expect it to be ready for PR? I see that the Larry's list is up for PR too. Dincher (talk) 05:17, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Your plans sound good to me. I am looking forward to seeing the detail map and the added history. Dincher (talk) 14:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Go for the geology section too. Question about Creeks in the creek section. Dincher (talk) 23:19, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I created the Black Moshannon State Park Historic Districts section. It's just a cut and paste for now. Off to Bok. Dincher (talk) 17:07, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I added this historic district article to state park article and cut out this parts about the specific districts since that are part of the historic district article. Is this okay? Finished with Francis for now.Dincher (talk) 18:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

The nomination is in. Dincher (talk) 18:58, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing what needed to be fixed. Is the DYK nom in the correct place?Dincher (talk) 20:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I am ready for Black Mo to go to PR if you are. Dincher (talk) 17:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

There request for PR is in. I think. Here [1] Dincher (talk) 18:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

But it is not completely correct. Something looks wrong to me. Hopefully you'll know what to do. It's not on the PR page that lists the other Geography articles for PR and I don't know how to get it there. Dincher (talk) 18:44, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I guess we could add the bits about the sizes of the park and some about the airport, but I don't think it is a pressing need. Dincher (talk) 02:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

You are more than welcome for adding you to the PR of Black Mo and also most deserving. You do a good job of polishing the articles that we've worked on. List of municipalities in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania is missing from here. Not sure how to add it. Does the Black Mo notice belong under announcements or wikiproject requests? Once I know I'll do it. I guess it could go under open tasks at the Protected area page. Dincher (talk) 00:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello! You had peer reviewed Bibliography of Edgar Allan Poe recently and made some great suggestions. I'm having trouble, however, figuring out how to properly cite the web references, including access dates. I've tried it a few times but keep messing up formatting. Could you lend a hand on a couple and I'll just follow your lead? --Midnightdreary (talk) 13:45, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks! I've just nominated it for FL. --Midnightdreary (talk) 12:30, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

You might wonder why I've been reading White Deer Hole Creek. It's because I've been using Larrys Creek as a model for Johnson Creek (Willamette River), which I've been pushing from stub class to something more complete. The two creeks are remarkably similar in length but remarkably dissimilar in other ways. Johnson Creek, though making something of a comeback, is urban and has been abused for many decades. I had no clear idea of how to do a creek when I started, but I learned a lot by imitating what I saw on the Larrys Creek page. That led me to White Deer Hole Creek, also pretty much your doing, also FA, and also of similar length. Excellent models, for which I say thanks. Finetooth (talk) 17:28, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, that's a lot of Licking Creeks! or lickin' cricks. Dincher (talk) 00:51, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

R, I have completed following your suggestions at this article's peer review. I believe that you'll be pleased with what I was able to accomplish. Could you please take a look at it and let me know what you think? Again, thanks for your input; as I stated on the peer review, I think that your constructive feedback has really made a difference and helped to substantially improve the article. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 21:37, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. While this is still going on, I've just made my final touch-ups on the list for a little known French/Canadian children's cartoon called The Bellflower Bunnies. I think I am the only Wikipedian who knows so much, so far, about the show and its original book series material.

I'm also willing to submit this as an FLC in a few days. Tell me what you think of the page, and I'll address concerns soon. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 02:35, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed that you actively help out in copy edits in addition to writing exciting articles of your own. I have this article in FAC currently. The biggest issue I face is with prose. Can you please help polish the prose in this article if you have the time. Thanks Dineshkannambadi (talk) 02:10, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your time reviewing this article and for the valuable feedback. Sincerely, BatteryIncluded (talk) 13:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey Ruhrfisch, thanks so much for your little award to me, very much appreciated! I just hope you, I and the other keen PR'ers can keep on top of the backlog of blank PRs. All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 16:12, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi I looked at the Pennsylvania source for the photo you asked me about. I have to say I don't know if it is appropriate to use that photo or not, it's not entirely clear to me. Facts and arguments to consider include: Not all NRHP photos, even ones on the U.S. National Park Service website, are public domain. Those that are labelled as NPS owned, or that are labelled as haven been taken by a NPS staff person who visited the site, are clearly works of the Federal government and in the public domain. However, they also use photos labelled clearly as courtesy of some organization that owns the photo. Or the photograph is a new photo taken by a private consultant, or by a state employee, or otherwise. This photo is in the last category. The NPS website has a statement that NOT all photos are in the public domain. I am not successful right now in finding the main NPS.Gov copyright statement that I recall, but this one relating to the HABS program copyright info related to HABS pics includes this statement: "Materials created or published by the U.S. Government in collaboration with a non-U.S. Governmental individual or agency may or may not be in the public domain. Materials fitting this category may require additional background research." Photos are not accepted into HABS unless they are all fully released into the public domain, but photos can be used to support NRHP applications without them being released.

Some other Pennsylvania examples might help:

In your case, the photo credit is not entirely clear. I would tend to believe the photos were taken by John Milner Associates, the "Local survey organization" on the Pennsylvania Historic Resource Survey Form. I assume they are be private consultants. Copyright of the photos could still belong to them, or it could belong to Pennsylvania, neither of which would put them into the public domain. Just submitting the photos as part of backup to the National Park Service, which even if you assume they did do that, does not put them into the public domain. So, bottomline, I do not see that these are clearly public domain, and hence I personally might not choose to use them. Certainly one could use them with little likelihood of anyone complaining though. It certainly also could be the case that Pennsylvania owns them and would freely give over use under GFDL, if asked, for all of their photographs, but I don't believe that anyone from WP:NRHP has yet approached any state department of archives and history for such permissions.

I am not a lawyer. Hope this helps though. doncram (talk) 06:41, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for dealing with this. As you may have noticed the fellow has a bee in his bonnet at present. I hope you enjoy your grill at 10th + Walnut. Ben MacDui^Talk/Walk 19:56, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I just want to say that I am new to the whole adding articles thing. I am still getting used to to the talk feature so forgive me if I do not comment to the deletion discussion appropriately. I just want to point out that, regarding the article about Lucas Carpenter I have been editing, there is not a lot of information on the artist and therefore can not be as descriptive as other artists. He is an up and coming artist who has yet to be signed. He also does not have an official website and uses Myspace as a makeshift site. The information for this article was taken from that, hence the reference. I have been following the artist since 2000 and since he is getting popular and just completed his first cross country tour, I felt it was a good time to try to help him get his name out there. If there is anyway you could maybe offer me some ideas or pointers in anyway to keep this from getting deleted I would appreciate it. I am editing it right now and I think I made enough changes to satisfy originality. Ndrammissi (talk) 22:08 31 March 2008 (UTC)

The Black Mo plans sound good to me. I will be taking a wikibreak today. Checking in here and there but not doing much. I am looking forward to the changes. Dincher (talk) 15:47, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Well I couldn't stay away. I added some about Mid-State Regional Airport and the Keystone Opportunity Zone which could be articles, remain as red links or get de-linked. I have looked and looked for evidence that the airport was built by the CCC and haven't found it, but I am pretty sure it was. The CCC did build an airstrip at Cherry Springs State Park. I am finished with the article for now if you want to work on it. Have a good one. Dincher (talk) 23:57, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I am pretty relieved that Bok finally made GA. I don't know if I will go for FA or not. Things are looking good at Black Mo aren't they and it's just a matter of time for Larrys list. Dincher (talk) 21:52, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

That's a good idea. How much bigger does the KOZ need to be? I could expand it tomorrow afternoon. Dincher (talk) 23:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

It can't hurt to include a park pic. Signing off the for night. Dincher (talk) 00:31, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Either hook is fine with me. Dincher (talk) 22:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I got some more references. Again, I am not sure how creditable they seem to be. But, they are references nevertheless. (talk) 12:17 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing 2 articles to the successful event! I enjoyed the misdirection on both of the hooks! --Royalbroil 13:22, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Wow. 10 more? I'm gonna need a rest after those... perhaps we should try to get a headstart on them assuming they'll be blank when the hit the backlog?! The Rambling Man (talk) 07:00, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

List of tributaries of Larrys Creek was fun to read, so anytime--but would you be willing to comment here? Thanks. the_ed17 12:11, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Heh, made me laugh to read your "..at last.." comment! Thanks for your detailed review. I'm sure Dweller and I will get onto your comments asap. Cool! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

He's won multiple Pegasus Awards, which look like notable awards to me. Therefore, I'd say he meets WP:MUSIC. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 20:44, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your peer review, which is being considered. Some of the points you have raised have been addressed, or are in the process of being addressed. However, there are a couple of issues that I wish to clarify. I believe that there is no need to wikilink all names of the locomotives to their counterpart in Arthurian legend, as this has already been done on the List of King Arthur class locomotives page. Also connected with this, Sir Lamiel is only listed in Thomas Malory's book Le Morte d'Arthur, as Sir Lamiel of Cardiff. Other than that, very little is known.

I hope this clarifies a couple of issues, and I hope you enjoyed the article. Thank you. --Bulleid Pacific (talk) 21:39, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

While you are asking GNIS about Lackawanna you might also want to ask about Ben Rush. I can't find it either. Dincher (talk) 00:26, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Tyvm... I've dealt with all of your excellent comments. Please review my responses, esp. as I disagreed occasionally and wasn't sure on a couple of things. --Dweller (talk) 10:39, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I was reading though your FLC, which brought me to read the article about Larrys Creek and White Deer Hole Creek. Seeing as you found an amazing amount of information on these fairly minor creeks, do you think you could work on Wappingers Creek or give me some suggestions? I've tried working on that article with little or no good results. Thanks, Juliancolton ^{The storm still blows...} 18:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the constructive criticism at the peer review. I hope to continue working on it and improve it to GA status. - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 20:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello Ruhrfisch. It might be time for a decision about this article that you left a report about at COIN. This is not a guy who has an academic rank like full professor, so it's hard to locate him in that way. I believe that an AfD nomination should be considered, since actual reliable sources that write about him are thin. I don't believe he is a Fellow of the IEEE or any of those kind of big organizations. If you still feel like going forward with an AfD, I might be able to help collect some data. Take a look at Category:SETI and see if you think his achievements will match what is found in that group. Otherwise, the article ought to be stubbified. Most of the material written about him does appear to be self-published, though the self-published material is written in an engaging way. Let me know how you would like to proceed. EdJohnston (talk) 03:38, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I've made tons of changes to the page Passions and although I know more work needs to be done, I think I'd appreciate another review if you have the time to at least prioritize what's left to do, I'd really like to try to get this to Good Article status. If you do go over it, adding fact tags to things you think need to be sourced would be very helpful too, since sometimes it's hard to figure out what should be when you are so familiar with the subject. Thank you. -- Dougie WII (talk) 08:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Not fantastically brilliant at these things but I'd be grateful if you'd close the PR. I have a few things to work on and will then go to FAC. Cheers! --Dweller (talk) 11:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Yo Ruhrfisch, thank you very much for your comments at Wikipedia:Peer review/CrimethInc./archive1. I've made a few initial comments and I would be interested in your responses. Regards, Skomorokh 15:30, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
