Welcome
You might also like to take a read at WP:UNDERLINK and with that WP:OVERLINK; a link hould only be removed if it is used elsewhere in the article, not counting infoboxes, templates etc. Another thing I keep in mind when editing GAs, FAs, or FLs is to check my spelling and punctuation in an external editor like MS Word as these are the best examples of articles we have. I hope you like what you see and stick around! §hep • Talk 03:15, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Php logo.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Php logo.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:06, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
A non-free logo tag has been addedTexas141 (talk) 23:15, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Apparently I am a little confused about how to upload that type of image on Wikipedia. I have uploaded images before, but thoes images were entirely of my own work, so I never needed to ask permission. But this image is different. I would like the Image (Image:UD_arena.jpg) deleted because I apparantly did not upload it correctly and I feel that I cannot fix it to allow it to stay on Wikipedia. I will be sure next time with this type of image, to upload it correctly after reading about how to do so properly under the tutorial links. Thank you for your understanding.Texas141 (talk) 22:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Removed
I removed the speedy deletion tag because the article was not blatant spam. I removed what I could see on obvious glance, but I would like for you to jump in and see if I missed anything. Thanks. ZabMilenkoHow am I driving? 02:57, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Thank you ZabMilenko for you help. I will go back and rewrite what was deleted. I did not copy and paste from the site, but when I rewrite it, I will make it more of my own words. Another thing, it was not written like and advertisment, I never have and never will write an article that way. I have absolutly no idea what that user was talking about. I was simply stating facts about the company which is by no means a violation of wikipedia standards. But thank you for your help.Texas141 (talk) 17:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Economy of Ohio
I have undone three of your edits at the page Economy of Ohio. This edit has been undone here on the grounds of factual accuracy, as page five of the document matches the data exactly. This edit has been undone here on the grounds of factual accuracy, as page five of the aforementioned document states "Ohio Employment Estimate Headcount" and matched the page's data exactly. You say that Kroger has employees worldwide, which is true, but 38,000 do work in Ohio, with 323,000 worldwide. This edit has been undone here on the grounds that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, or: Wikipedia is not a place for speculation, even that speculation that may be well-reasoned. If you have any questions, please post them on my talk page. Regards, Jd027 (talk) 20:02, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Texas141, Why do you consider my edit to be vandalism? I believe it to be an appropriate editing decision to move information on NCR to the end of the section. In reality, I believe it should be deleted since it doesn't reflect the Economy of Dayton TODAY. It's ancient history, water over the @#!*% . You may believe differently, and you can certainly edit, but don't call it vandalism on my part. You are the one that is making capricious decision here. Why do you think the paragraph should stay 2nd?DjKinDayton (talk) 17:27, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
It is information that is cited and belongs as part of the economy section. It is not ancient history, it occured not even a year ago and is an important development of Dayton and it's changing economy. And yes, it is vandalism to knowingly blank properly cited information in an article. Texas141 (talk) 17:32, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Texas141, I did not blank or remove any material, I reordered the section in good faith. You may not like it, but it wasn't vandalism. Now, removing edits capriciously and without summary detailing why, could easily be considered vandalism. Please review the following definition of vandalism: "Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not vandalism. For example adding a controversial personal opinion to an article is not vandalism, although reinserting it despite multiple warnings can be disruptive (however, edits/reverts over a content dispute are never vandalism, see WP:EW). Not all vandalism is obvious, nor are all massive or controversial changes vandalism. Careful thought may be needed to decide whether changes made are beneficial, detrimental but well-intended, or outright vandalism." DjKinDayton (talk) 17:42, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Even if it is just reordering, what would be the difference if the information would be the last paragraph or the second paragraph? Whether the information is moved or not, it is still there. As for my reasoning, that paragraph's placement helps the flow of the section for ease of reading and for proper layout purposes. And sorry about jumping so quick about vandalism. Texas141 (talk) 17:47, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
The order of information is everything so please work with me on my latest edit. In general, you put the most important information first. What do you want your customer (our readers) to take away from the section. That info has to go first. Next, stylistically, I like to group positive and negatives because they then reinforce each other. The way it is currently ordered, they get a positive then a negative and the reader goes away confused - does Dayton have a good economy? As a member of the Dayton community, I would like readers to see our community in a positive light. So I would like the positive info to go first.DjKinDayton (talk) 18:15, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
I am a member of the Dayton community as well. I love Dayton and I want to see the best for Dayton. But, I am sure that most readers can see that with all of the other information on the article, that Dayton's economy is very powerful. I will work with the article to place the information last as you suggest. (and by the way, your last edit was great! and it was cited and relevant!) Thank you for finding it and placing it in the article. Texas141 (talk) 18:19, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi Texas141, I have noticed that you split up the destination list again into several tables (one for each concourse). Do you really think it's nicer that way? Having it all in one tables gives one the possibility to sort for airlines as well as terminals. I can't see any disadvantages (having one table seems to have become mainstream here at Wikipedia), but maybe you have some good reasons, though? I appreciate your thoughts. Merry Christmas. Per aspera ad Astra (talk) 18:05, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Well, one page that I watch very closely is Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. If you look at that article, it is also split into concourses. To me, it seems to look more organized and helps with ease of reading. The edit still should hold true to Wikipedia's standards, but I based the edit off of the Cleveland Airport page. Thanks! Texas141 (talk) 02:42, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Sorry Texas141, I read your answer above only after having merged all destinations at Cleveland Airport into one table. I dare say that your argumentation is not a good one. Single dest-lists are now applied to all major US and International airports (and to make it clear I changed only a small part of them). Therefore, I will also apply this new layout - which obviously meets high consensus under editors - to Dayton Airport, too. Best regards Per aspera ad Astra (talk) 10:45, 22 December 2009 (UTC).
thanks for all your help on WSU's SOM! :)Boonshoft (talk) 04:02, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
Dayton, OH
Other Regional Airports
Hey Texas141, Why do you keep removing my section from the Dayton, OH website? People or corporations considering relocation to Dayton OH need to know this information. It is what separates us from a 1000 other cities. Your comments about quality of my citation is unhelpful to me and apparently inaccurate. Or, perhaps we disagree on the material that needs to be cited. With the exception of the population served (which I verified and documented), all of the material is general knowledge and easily verifiable on Wikipedia (logistics hub is in the 2nd paragraph) or Google (distances between airports). All that remains are linking verbs.
Re: Page Protection
Re your message: I don't recall reverting any vandalism on Dayton, Ohio. As noted in response to your request at WP:RFPP, the vandalism on the article is not particularly steady, so I agree with the admins there at semi-protection doesn't seem necessary at this time. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 01:20, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I accidently sent the message to the wrong person. And for the page protection, I can somewhat agree with the other admins. But if the vandalism is to become more extensive, I may put the article back on to get it protected.Texas141 (talk) 01:44, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:FutureFestLogo.png
Thanks for uploading File:FutureFestLogo.png. 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.

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).
PLEASE NOTE:
- I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
- I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:50, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Corn maze
With all due respect, I don't think it's better to retain information that we know must be partially incorrect. I have added a tag to the article, but I doubt that will do anything. Do you know of any sources that could help us resolve the problem? The most recent edition of the Guinness book doesn't seem to say anything about corn mazes. Zagalejo^^^ 18:54, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for adding the tag. I will look at some more sources and see what I can come up with. We would need one that is pretty consistant about what corn maze is the largest. Once we find that, we can rid the tag. Texas141 (talk) 09:48, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

The article Honeywell First Responder Products has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- This company doesn't meet the notability guidelines of WP:CORP.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

US Banknote Contest |

|---|---|---|
| November-December 2019 | ||

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here | ||
