Enrollment Figures[edit]

I was wondering what source you used for the 101 figure. I found a site giving 258. I don't really have any idea what their enrollment is but I thought it best to know where the 101 comes from. Thanks. 12.220.47.145 15:10, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

here is a link to the day school enrollment figures... they break it down by grade so the high school numbers can be determined. http://www.admissionsquest.com/cfm_Public/pg_SchlInfo2.cfm/mode/execute/SchlID/229/level/none Randella 21:30, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
If you visit the school's website, and the other link you offered, you'll see that roughly 300 students attend the entire school, which is including K-8 grades. The table in question deals only with high schools.--YHoshua 23:56, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

At some point we should probably start adding profiles for the EVSC high schools, or do you think that's unnecessary? I'm not sure.--YHoshua 18:50, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

do you mean their own individual profiles like the one for north? i think that's a good idea. i recently added a media overview to the main page, but kept it short and sweet so there wasn't a long list of radio stations. Randella 22:54, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. I've also made one for Reitz. Since high schools seem to be fair game on Wikipedia we might as well have one for all of the local high schools.--YHoshua 19:02, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Award[edit]

For your very helpful work on the Evansville, Indiana page, I award you this Barnstar. --YHoshua 23:56, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent pic of the EVV airport.--YHoshua 06:22, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Boneyard[edit]

There is an unregistered user who is constantly changing the Evansville, Indiana page to include a vanity link to his website. The user in question is Evansvilleboneyard and the website in question is Evansville Boneyard. Do you think it deserves to be there? I certainly don't and I think it's just the website's operator who keeps adding. There's no evidence to suggest it is encyclopedia worthy. I've asked for an administrator to help us but I thought I'd get your opinion on the subject as well. On a related note, I think this is a good reason to have at least one Evansville native as an administrator to keep people from constantly reverting things.--YHoshua 03:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for getting that under control... i posted a reply on the main discussion page. i don't really care whether it's there or not, it is an interesting site but it doesn't rank up there with the primary media or deserve to be bolded like he was doing.

Halston[edit]

Hi! I'm contacting you because you once contributed to the Halston article. Unfortunately, this page has been discovered to be a likely copyright violation from its creation, and will be deleted if no one can write a temporary article to replace it. I'm not sure how much you know about this subject, but feel free to create a new temporary article if you know about the subject. Thanks for your time!

Image Tagging[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Reitzmemorial.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Dethomas 05:37, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i think it was a publicity photo, but i can't remember where i located it. if i locate it again i'll make sure to add the appropriate copyright info. Randella 20:09, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indiana[edit]

I apologize for being quick to revert those edits. They are logged as being performed by an anonymous IP address, so without any rationale included I was suspicious that any information removal may be vandalism. If they had been under your account I wouldn't have reverted, as I've seen your good work on other related articles. I agree that a great place to get the article under control is the people list, and your work is great as long as those people are still present in the dedicated list of people from Indiana article. I am a little partial to the historical religious affiliation information (for comparison), but if you don't think it's appropriate, I won't stand in the way of that either. Sorry for the trouble, Craig R. Nielsen 05:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the response. and yeah, i forget to login sometimes so i'm sorry about the confusion. anyway, someone else also reverted my last changes, so i'm gonna let majority rule. if you see any merit in my last attempts, feel free to make any changes you see fit. but as of now it's the way it was and i'm backing out of this one. Randella 06:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Center/Centre[edit]

Hi, thanks for adding to The Centre article. Just wanted to make sure the correct spelling of that skyscraper in Hong Kong was C-E-N-T-E-R rather than -C-E-N-T-R-E. Thanks. Somnabot 21:01, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

dunno about 'the center' skyscraper. i didn't create it but the official page is directed to that spelling. when i originally created one for the evansville convention center, there was a redirect page from 'the centre' to 'the center' spelling. figured it was easy enough to include it on the disambiguation page.

Reordering Evansville Museum[edit]

Regarding your recent change to the Evansville Museum article: it's not a huge deal, but I do believe that according to Wikipedia standard order, the "See also" section comes before the "References" section. I'm not sure why this is so, or who decreed it; but if you look at a lot of articles, I believe you'll see that it's the norm. MdArtLover 02:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i don't actually know if there is a policy on this or not... i've seen it both ways and just tend to prefer 'finishing' the article before sending someone to another page or site. Randella 22:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Marcia Yockey[edit]

An article that you have been involved in editing, Marcia Yockey, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marcia Yockey. Thank you. Brewcrewer 01:55, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the article survived the test... people just try to tear stuff down rather than create or build. Randella (talk) 04:21, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Oldcourthouse.jpg[edit]

This is a nice image but is currently orphaned, and there is nothing in the summary to identify the image. Can you attach the image to an appropriate article or write a summary as to what courthouse it is and where it is located so it can be moved to Commons. -Thanks Nv8200p talk 18:00, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the heads up... forgot all about that one. i will link it to the article on evansville. Randella (talk) 19:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional links?[edit]

I'm quite puzzled by a few of your recent edits, for example this edit. I fail to see how providing a link to a tall buildings database; one which is maintained by an international organization like the CTBUH and is recognised by many reliable sources as an authority of the subject, is in any way promotional. I have reverted the edits but am willing to discuss this further if you wish. Astronaut (talk) 11:46, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

you'll notice that the links i removed are repetitive database profiles. there really isn't a need to have multiple external links to what are basically the same database profiles (especially when they are already being used as reference sources). it is not wikipedia's policy to include lengthy external links and any link that is included needs to be justified. what is the justification for having both an external link to ctbuh as well as structurae on the empire state building? see external links.

Sorry, I didn't notice they had also been used as references. Your edits appeared to be pretty random, removing CTBUH from one, structurae from another and so on. And classifying them as "promotional" seems very odd to me - perhaps "duplicate" would have been be a better word to use in the edit summary. Astronaut (talk) 19:24, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
