Pittsburgh WikiProject

You might be interested in joining the Pittsburgh WikiProject, which organizes and edits articles related to the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 07:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I joined. I would like to write an article on St.Peter's Episcopal in Oakland. I helped to get the Landmark plaque for it before it burned. Any suggestions?Pustelnik 12:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History of Pittsburgh - request for collaboration

I've put a lot of additional work into this article, based on feedback from when it was a Featured Article Candidate. Also updated the maps to give them a more standard appearance. I'm going to submit the article for peer review and then FAC again. Before I do, though, I need some help from the WikiProject Pittsburgh. Please take some time and help with these tasks:

  1. improve the article with changes, additions and deletions
  2. some stern proof-reading, please
  3. give it a quality/importance rating at Talk:History of Pittsburgh
  4. leave feedback at Talk:History of Pittsburgh

Thanks. I'll be leaving this note at the talk pages of the project members who have been most active in Pittsburgh-related articles. Tomcool 14:45, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Politics of global warming

Hi, Ronjamin. I've been around Wikipedia since it's first year, and I'd like to offer a bit of advice regarding this addition to Global warming:

  • The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a political body consisting of delegates of the United Nations that does not conduct scientific research, but relies on "peer reviewed and published scientific/technical literature"[1] to assess the risk of human-induced climate change. The (IPCC) has not considered or has minimized other scientific evidence, positions, or theories, such as Solar variation[2] in relation to global warming. [1]

If you feel an article on science is biased, don't try to prove it in the body of that article. Take it to a controversy or "politics of" article.

Wikipedia's science articles reflect whatever the current "consensus" is about science, even if that consensus reflects a bias. Remember, 140 years ago nobody knew that germs cause disease. It wasn't until the last quarter of the 19th century that men like Pasteur, Lister and Koch began to attract positive attention to their work (see Germ theory of disease and Ignaz Semmelweis). --Uncle Ed 19:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photo work

I've notice the great photos you have been adding to articles. Nice work! --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 10:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed--love the photos you took at Rolex. Hoping to get there myself this April and try to shoot a few, between watching the action. I dont suppose you have any of the dressage phase, do you? Eventer 04:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, I just came here to express my respect about the hptographic work myself. Thanks! --Klaws 15:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photos of Pittsburgh

Thanks for all of your work with Pittsburgh-related photographs. To make it easier for other editors to find and use these, please add [[Category:Images of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]] to the pages of the images you have uploaded. If you have any questions, please ask me. Thanks, Chris Griswold (☎☓) 07:32, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Even better, please upload your photos to Wikipedia Commons with Category:Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (or one of its subcategories). Thank you, -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  22:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it a word?  ;-)

<<Montanabw, is unencyclopediac really a word?  :-). Ronald C. Yochum, Jr. 05:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)>>

Well, correct spelling is actually "Unencyclopedic" with or without a hypnen and it appears to have been invented on wikipedia... http://www.reference.com/search?q=Un-%20encyclopedic&r=d&db=web

See also http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Unencyclopedic&redirect=no

Apparently will eventually be coming to a dictionary near you! ;-)

See also http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Uncyclopedia

So, given that spell-check would miss this...I'll remember to remove the extra "a" next time! Montanabw 19:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Rolex Sunken Road 1242.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Shinerunner (talk) 00:41, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When I originally tagged this image, there was no license information tag on it. I see from the edit history that you have corrected this problem and have removed the tag. That was the only problem with the image. Thank you for your understanding and help in this matter.Shinerunner (talk) 11:22, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Milkmen in US

I see you removed a reference here saying incorrect. Strictly it is not incorrect, assuming it was in fact reported that way-- that is, the report may be incorrect but the fact of reporting the report is not. Hard call I know, but I am tempted to reinstate it. Any ideas? SimonTrew (talk) 17:07, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why do I bother? Because I want to make Wikipedia better. That means trying to achieve a consensus not just saying the other person is wrong. SimonTrew (talk) 19:48, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
