Please do not butcher this article to please GA; they're not worth it. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have made relatively few edits to the actual article-- you should be more worried about the editors that actually make those edits. I agree, in fact, that the article should have many equations. However, I also feel that there need to be more references, and that a subject as important as this deserves to be at least a GA. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 00:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Our disagreement is on the importance of GA; this is too important a subject to hsve the article harassed by that bunch of incompetents. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 14:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Gatech buzz.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gatech buzz.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. fuzzy510 03:09, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Truthbaron

I saw his edits were reverted, so I checked his contribution history (as I tend to in such cases) and then his talk page. Since nothing was on his talk page, I figured the edit was still close enough to benign to go with {{uw-test1}}. I'll have to remember the uw-npov sequence; thank you for mentioning them! —C.Fred (talk) 02:32, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yes. I don't have to type WP:TUSER out all the way in the search box; Safari knows about it quite well by now. :) I just tend to stick with test, create, vandalism, and a few others, and then customize them to the specific situation with the second parameter, so it gives a much more specific comment on the situation. —C.Fred (talk) 04:33, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

UNC Charlotte

Thanks for the suggestion; I have amended the article to reflect it. --UNCCTF 12:45, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To Whom It May Concern: If further editing or changes occur on the Hans Godo Fräbel Wikipedia page, Fräbel Gallery & Studio will be forced to take legal action against you for Vandalism and Sabatoge of the Company's name and information. Please take note of this warning.

All those Wikis

09-July-2007: Hi, user Wikid77 here (as IP only). [I've encountered some revert-what-he-edits people and don't want them following contribs to your user acct#.] I finally located the "List of wikis" but it does not list P'cola. Should I add Pcola to that wiki-list or would that be like yelling "new guy" in a room full of serial killers? I keep meeting these dreadful types and regret that you have to mingle in this kind of society.

A Better Way: Bottomline, there must be a minimal review process before releasing articles. Some have suggested "this newly added text should appear in green" (with "Warning: green text is new and not fully verified"). Sounds like a good plan for hounding the text; have you noticed how images rarely get vandalized/botched as a modified image? More importantly, multi-article architectures need experienced article-group designers: there are just too many badly organized article collections and retro-fitting proper design is like fixing the Titanic from the last lifeboat (collapsible "D" floating upsidedown). Keep your patience and remember you're learning firsthand that "organized societies" exist for some very good reasons. Anyway... Let me know about Pcola publicity; reply in this message & I'll check here. Don't risk contacting me (except as logged-out IP "Dsv") until "sanity checks" are made on the latest band of stalking suspects. Egad! -Wkd 209.214.44.218 23:50, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the Pensacola wiki is notable enough to go on that page. There must be hundreds of wikis on the internet, but they only list ones of "comparative notability." I'm sure that if you added the Pensacola one, it'd be removed. There are other lists given in the external links section of that article, though. You could try adding it to one of those, if appropriate. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 23:58, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inline References

For inline references, do the sources need to be third parties or can it reference the organizations website? I'm not sure exactly what the standard is and want to make sure its done right. Jdweiss 00:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Typically, I use whatever works to cite the source. Sometimes, the only source on a subject is provided by that subject; for example, a press release. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 00:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Namespace, Blueprint

Thanks for the note about sorting by namespace! Hadn't even occurred to me.

Also, I guess you've noticed that I imported an old Blueprint copy (commons:Category:1910 Georgia Tech Blueprint). The only graduate I found who we have an article on is Y. Frank Freeman. There are also some interesting old building photos though.

I plan to import the remaining PD Blueprint issues as I have time - after I'm done I figured we could make an announcement somewhere at the Tech Wikiproject. There are some problems with the PDF of the first Blueprint - I'm going to eventually contact the office that scanned it to see if they have another version.

Yet another project I have is to eventually import some of the public domain Techniques. Let me know if you want to help with any of this :-) -SCEhardT 15:07, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I saw that 1910 Blueprint and was very impressed. I take it you noticed my work on the Tech-related Commons categories as well, then. Yeah, I'd be willing to lend a hand in some of this. Note that there were other student publications than the two that exist today; see the last paragraph of History of Georgia Tech#Early years. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 16:13, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
