Maps

I noticed you've been busy making municipal maps... Well I have been too! I was wondering if there was any sort of coordinated project? --"DICK" CHENEY 01:00, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Though my project is not quite dots, I would be more than happy to be added to your list. I've already finished four of New Jersey's 21 counties, and I'll try to finish the remaining 17 counties in the next couple of weeks. Just for the record, my primary source is the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's GIS website. Best regards and happy mapping. --"DICK" CHENEY 01:13, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Dot Project Reservations

Seth, no need to reserve Kansas or Ohio for me. If someone else wants to do them, fine. I only wanted to 'reserve' Arizona because I've started doing some advance work on it, and wanted to lock it in.

I went ahead and put Arizona in the Dot Project section of your page. Do you want folks to do that, or do you want us to communicate through your user page and you'll do it? Some don't mind others updating their user page and some do. I thought in this case, if it were me, I wouldn't mind.

As far as Missouri, I'm working on Stoddard County now. I could conceivably finish tonight; if not, in the next few days. I recon that Missouri was around 1000 maps and 1000 article edits. I think Arizona will be less than 200 + 200 based on my eyeballing so far. Thanks. Brian Rock 01:31, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Seth said...I really do appreciate other people working on the project; it gives me some confidence that I'm not crazy in attempting it. :)

• I wouldn't use the fact that I'm working on it as much evidence against craziness. At least one Wikipedian and my wife think I'm crazy for taking it on. But then others do jigsaw puzzles... Brian Rock 01:39, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Ballet question

Hi, I saw you nominated (ballerina who invented en pointe) for Article of the week, and figured you might know this. Would it be appropriate for ballerina to redirect to ballet, or are the two concepts separate enough for two articles? Best wishes, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 22:17, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

OK, I'll hold off on creating the redirect then. Such was my suspicion anyway, but I wanted to be sure. You're right, our coverage in this area is shockingly weak. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 22:33, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

hello, i see you have a big presence on Wikipedia, ballet is not my strong point (dance technology, dance notation, 20th century concert dance are more my thing) but glad to be of help, the ballet section is weak. perhaps you can add what you think needs to be done as a liston the talk page as point and i will do the same?

Natick, MA

Hi there, not sure of the etiquette of this really but I believe that you edited the Natick, MA with dates of incorporation and settlement (at least that's what it looked like to me... I'm a wikipedia newbie though so apologies if I got that wrong). I grew up in Natick and as far as I know those dates aren't correct but I'm certainly not a historian... what I do know is that 1651 is on all the road signs. I think that I've even got some 300th year celebration thingy from 1951 that my grandfather gave me (couldn't rummage it up though). Also, this page shows the same year. Anyway, figured I'd drop this note here before trying to alter the entry. - Dan Reagan

BCE Redirects

I finished creating the BCE -> BC redirects you had listed on User:Seth_Ilys/Test3--Wclark 19:26, 2004 Jul 11 (UTC)

North Carolina Congress

Specifically, US Congressional Delegations from North Carolina. I'm starting to work on these for other states (I'm actually in Concord, North Carolina, and your work on the list inspired me to spread the love the other forty nine), and I was wondering, where did you get the information on congressional districts over time? Was the "Political Graveyard" link your only source of information? Also, just curious, why are there *s next to some of the congresses; are those the ones you're not entirely sure about? Thanks!! --Golbez 21:09, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)

Sethbot

What is this: Monroe (city), WI? The redirect doesn't work, I think because of the other text on the page, but I can't tell if it is supposed to be that way or not. older≠wiser 02:40, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I noticed that somehow %28 and %29 got substituted for the parentheses--don't know if that's something you can control with the bot or not or if it really shouldn't make a difference. older≠wiser 02:55, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

US coin productions

Seth,

what do you think about keeping production stats in the data tables for US coins? the US mint releases them at their web site, and I have Redbooks detailing them as well.

oh, and I also think a image size for coins should be standardised. my old collection is in photographic format and will shortly be made available free, along with ~6000 other photographs from the person I sold them through.

Stage: Larval

I'd like to grow Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. politicians from its current not-even-larval stage to being a beautiful butterfly. :) Thought I'd recruit you because your super-amazing work on N.C. politicians. :) I so don't have time to be running a WikiProject, but I think it's a good idea, if for nothing other than normalizing the navtables for 'murricans.

Aymags of Mongolia

I thank you for your mass contribution on aymags of Mongolia, but your romanization method doesn't seem popular. If there is no objection, I will change the romanization of Mongolian aymags to this method. Also, I will add the suffix "aymag" for each page title because aymags share their names with other entities. --Nanshu 01:23, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thank you. I will make changes in a couple of weeks. --Nanshu 03:52, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

dot map: Pinehurst, Texas

Seth, there appears to be a map error:

Pinehurst, Orange County, Texas has a doton map that apparently belongs on Pinehurst, Montgomery County, Texas. I'd fix the error myself, but I see you are still working on the Texas doton maps, and have not yet created one for Pinehurst, Montgomery County, Texas. I figured it would be better to let you know of the confusion between the two towns in the same state with the same name. Kevyn 10:29, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sabiha Gokcen Internation Airport

Hello,

I just wanted to say you that there is no any "Sabiha Airport". It should be "Sabiha Gokcen Internation Airport" or just "Sabiha Gokcen Airtport"

Regards..

Dot on project

How do you handle this? Do you go through a state and create all the maps then add them? Or check first which ones need maps? If I create some maps for cities I work on, with no intention of completing an entire state, would it be helpful or time-wasting? Rmhermen 04:42, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)

Seth, could you check Edward Fincke when you have a chance please? Someone replaced your text with an exact copy of [1]. —Joseph | Talk 23:44, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)

thanks for the moderation on the Badnarik page. Before I added the section on Badnarik's political views, the article was biased in favor of Badnarik for a variety of reasons -- these positions should not be omitted. However, your edit helped make my section on Badnarik's political views be more neutral, and I appreciate that.
