We abolished General Government some time ago and redirected it to History of Poland (1939-1945), but this anonymous Polish nationalist idiot recreated it. I intend abolishing it again soon, so please do your River Bug disambiguation at the other article. Adam 23:51, 29 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Will do. Thanks for the pointer. -- Jredmond

Please edit Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit when you are logged out. -- Tim Starling 01:47, Oct 30, 2003 (UTC)

Done. Thanks! --Jredmond

No you haven't, look: the article history (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Changing_attribution_for_an_edit&action=history) shows one edit by Jredmond, and none by 66.134.157.122. Special:Contributions/66.134.157.122 shows no edits relating to a change in attribution. -- Tim Starling 00:07, Oct 31, 2003 (UTC)

You're right - it's done now. Sorry. -- Jim Redmond

Hi Jredmond, as you have contributed to Baseball/temp, I'd like to ask for your opinion whether it's time to move the rewritten article to Baseball. Please comment at Talk:Baseball/temp. Thanks, Kosebamse 16:56, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hi Jredmond, I've just reverted your edit to January 27 which changed (d. YYYY) to († YYYY). The consensus is that the dagger symbol looks like a Christian cross and as such is POV, so another user and I have been changing all the anniversary pages to the standard (d. ) and (b. ). I asked on the village pump before doing this, and no one liked the daggers (even though I did). Cheers, Fabiform 16:33, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Ah - I see. Guess I should have been paying more attention at the village pump... :) Thanks for the heads-up, and I'll fix any other improperly-formatted birth/death years that I see. Jim Redmond 17:13, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

What I didn't mention was that I changed about 2 months worth of anniversary pages _from_ (d. ) to the dagger symbol before someone told me I should be doing it the other way round. ;) I'm somewhere in February at the moment, and another user started with December, so if you're really _bored_ have a look at one of the January pages for guidance, and then start in the middle of the year!

Thanks for the copyedit

Thanks catching that typo in 1974 in gay rights. Davodd 07:15, Mar 2, 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I read your note at Talk:Jim Thorpe, and took it as an incentive to start a much more extensive article about him. I've posted a working version just now. However, my knowledge of baseball and football is not that good; could you have a look and maybe add/correct some of the base- and football related stuff? Thanks, Jeronimo 19:36, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Wow, that's a pretty dramatic improvement! I especially like the photographs and the stamp image. So far, everything looks good, but let me dig through and see if I can find anything amiss. - jredmond 20:16, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Ah, yeah. The punctuation was what I was getting stuck on. Thanks. -- Jim Regan 05:31, 22 May 2004 (UTC)

Hello. I saw that you made an edit to VfD (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion&diff=3685329&oldid=3684145) to remove some punctuation from someone's MediaWiki links. You got that right, and it's a help, but you have to be sure to check the old link as well. There was a comment (the original deletion reason) at Template:VfD-VP3.2 Public License, and changing the link to go to MediaWiki:VfD-VP3pt2 Public License doesn't transfer it. I copied it over, so it's fixed now.

I'm glad you're helping in VfD, it's a time-intensive process.

Have a nice weekend,

Hi there, I found you when I read your comment at the vote regarding Pro-American sentiment. Unfortunately no one has yet taken care of it. But there are more important things. I started a project about learning, mainly vocabulary. Some guys discussed it with me on my user page. Maybe you are interested, if so, please let me know there as well.

Thanks for removing the POV from National Rifle Association. --H. CHENEY 01:14, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates#Che_Guevara . Are you still objecting to the article because the iconic image has not been moved up? You have a point, but policies state that portrait pictures are the ones that should be placed toward the top. Notice that this is the case for virtually every bio piece. 172 18:43, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

No; I'm still objecting to that article because I haven't had the chance to check it out post-updates. (Past few days have been weird. Sorry.) I'm reviewing it now, and will be updating my objection shortly thereafter. - jredmond 19:08, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. 172 19:15, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

.int

Yes, I am aware of wikilinks, and I just forgot about it for .int. I edit often from here, as it's work. I don't log in from work. It's a nat with only 8000 ip's, so I'm probably not posting from the same address as my .int edits.

Sorry. (p.s. I'm suprised the 'you have new messages' went to the right address, I heard there was a bug with messages for anons.) --207.181.42.20 20:09, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Mel Carnahan

Thing is, I meant to type Jean Carnahan there, since Mel never took his seat (for obvious reasons). But I guess I had Mel on the mind. Thanks for fixing that, and yes, I'm going to put a footnote there. :) --Golbez 17:22, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

Seismic retrofit

Thanks for the needed copyedit on the article - up to this point it has been mostly a dump of related topics, not cleaned up, so the help is appreciated.

One small thing, however - The gallery was carefully constructed with no small effort and so placed for a purpose - too often images are resized smaller in width by users with small screens (800 pix wide) to get room for the text, while users with wide screens will find that right margin stacked images will leave the sub-article boundaries, since so little vertical space is taken for text on a wide screen. Either way the article winds up with images so small that they must be individually clicked to see important details, and even if not, much of the visual impact of an image may be lost. A floating gallery solves the problem neatly for users of screens of any size, but requires some thought both as to image width (especially with varying aspect ratio images) and the amount of title text must properly progress - all to avoid having left adjusted images hanging up on minor descents rather than moving properly to the left margin. Note that non-floating galleries simply do not work well on a wide variety of screen widths - either you have excess white space on the right on a wide screen or have to scroll (if the browser even properly allows it) on narrow screens. (For examples of extensive floating galleries please see Shanghai#Architecture, Tiananmen Square and Military engineer). The three external truss images that were in a neat little gallery now looks rather bad on my (1280x1024) screen - the dormitory extends down into a blank area on the right and the two orange truss images are off to the left, with a big blank space between on the right margin. I was also planning to add another related picture to the gallery - I will offer you an opportunity to restore this since you are actively editing and as always I am open to arguments as to why this should not be done. Answer here as I will watch, otherwise I will restore this part Sunday evening (PDT). Best wishes, and thanks again for the edits -- Leonard G. 03:22, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

P.S. I moved some unedited chat concerning floating galleries to my talk page - see User_talk:Leonard_G.#Floating galleries -- Leonard G. 03:33, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Cuisine of Trinidad & Tobago

Hi Jredmond, I saw your editing on this section, especially about callaloo where you needed some expert reviews. The article concerning the callaloo as it was before editing was alright. Being a Trinbagonien cook makes me an expert of the matter. The italien influence on Trinidad & Tobago cuisine although is represented by Pizza Boys only.

Would you mind calling a newspaper reporter?

Hi, I'm Curtis Krueger, a reporter with the St. Petersburg Times in Florida, (which you can see at www.sptimes.com). I am writing a story about Wikipedia and would like to talk to some Wikipedians about why they like to contribute their time to this project. I got your name from a list of most active Wikipedians. I am hoping to speak to people either today (Thursday Oct. 14) or tomorrow. You can email me at krueger@sptimes.com or call toll-free at 1-(800) 333-7505 ext. 8232.

Thank you! Curtis Krueger St. Petersburg Times

Happy Birthday!

Jesse Liberty

You reverted the addition of Jesse Liberty to List of famous gay, lesbian or bisexual people. Following the link to the blog in question, it does appear to check out however I've never heard of him. Is your contention with the fact that he's not famous enough for the list (fair enough) or that there's something wrong with the claim that he's bisexual and noteworthy enough for wikipedia? If the latter, perhaps an edit/vfd for the JL article is in order. Thanks in advance --fvw * 15:57, 2004 Nov 11 (UTC)

I don't doubt that he's bisexual, but I do doubt that he's noteworthy enough for Wikipedia. Additionally, the edit that inserted him into that list smacked of vanity: nine of the thirteen edits from that anon user are about Jesse Liberty and were done in a fifteen-minute span this morning. I'm heading over to VfD now... - jredmond 16:28, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new)| talk)

Steve Bartman

Good job of making it more succinct. As a forever-Cubs fan, when the Bartman incident happened, I said to myself "This is trouble!" not so much because of the so-called "interference", but because of Alou's reaction to it, of the bad karma or distraction it could cause. And when Gonzo dropped the ground ball, I said "This is REAL trouble!" The events are all interlinked.

Notable artist

Please help us understand why you are systematically expunging the entries around Nathan McClain (1973-1997) the U.S. illustrator, artist, and painter who died at 24? We've recently become aware of this deceased artist who has received international recognition and is developing a passionate following.

I cannot find enough background on him or enough evidence of international recognition to warrant inclusion in this encyclopedia. Google only gives a memorial page and an "artist of the month" bio; if he were truly internationall recognized there would be more. Of course, you're welcome to chime in on the VFD listing (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Nathan_McClain&action=edit&section=1) if you like. - jredmond 16:35, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

expos/nationals debate

There is a major debate going on, and I wondered if you might want to chime in. The debate involves how to deal with franchise moves in baseball. The question is whether Montréal Expos should be its own article or if it should redirect to Washington Nationals. All other instances of franchise moves in MLB redirect the old team name to the new team name, and the history of the franchise is covered within the new team name (for MLB, NBA and NFL examples, see here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Votes_for_deletion/Montr%E9al_Expos). Some people are confused and think the Expos and the Nats are different teams. Some people don't want to upset Canadian readers.

Indeed, the Washington Nationals are not a new team - the Montreal Expos franchise has moved to Washington, and the old franchise name should redirect to the new franchise name, just like the 20+ instances of this occuring in Wikipedia. For example, Brooklyn Dodger history resides in the Los Angeles Dodgers article. New York Giants history, including the Shot Heard 'Round the World, resides in the San Francisco Giants article.

If you have the time, maybe you could chime in on the conversation there, Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Montréal Expos. Kingturtle 17:23, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
