[edit] Notable Pitt people

Do you happen to know the year that the men you added to the List of notable University of Pittsburgh people graduated from Pitt or what degrees they earned? It would help a lot. Thanks for adding to the list, by the way.--Chris Griswold 20:26, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Richard M. Simpson graduated in 1923, degree unknown. Harve Tibbott graduated in 1906 in pharmacy. Robert J. Corbett was in 1929, degree unknown.

Thanks. Bachelors' degrees?--Chris Griswold 00:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, unknown. I'll keep it in mind as I continue to do research and let you know if I come across anything else.Npeters22 12:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. --Chris Griswold 13:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Jesse Leonard Steinfeld received his B.S. in 1945

[edit] Project Congress

Based on your recent (great!) contributions to articles regarding Pennsylvania's past members of Congress, you may want to consider joining us at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Congress. —Markles 04:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Francis E. Walter

If you find a page with an incorrect title, then the technique to use is to "Move" the page. "Cut and paste" moves lose the edit history of the previous article. -Will Beback 20:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Charles Clarence Pratt

Is there a typo in this article? First paragraph is about Pratt, but the second starts out talking about someone named Henry W. Palmer. I know you've been doing a lot of congressmen. Some other congressman's name? I happened to stumble on this one, thought I'd let you know. Fan-1967 19:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I use cut and paste to save me some time and achieve consistency, but every so often I miss a required change.Npeters22 19:20, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage

I came across some of your congressional articles and am glad you are contributing in this area. I note on your userpage that you are trying to get an article done on every Pennsylvania Congressman "from the US Civil War to 1900" but then you list several 20th-century Members. Is "1900" a typo, or did you expand the scope of your work? (Also, Rep. Hoyer's first name is "Steny" with one "n".) Best regards, Newyorkbrad 18:18, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing. I had been working on the Congressmen from 1900 to WWI most recently, but I completed that project just today. The last one was Samuel A. Davenport added at 17:18, 25 August 2006. I try to work in a managable time period, but also will drift off in random directions if a subject interests me or I get into a "Tetris" mode of editing. Sometimes I just hate seeing that spot of red in a sea of blue. Npeters22 19:37, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree with you -- some of my own biographical articles get started for the same reason. Regards, Newyorkbrad 19:53, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of islands by name

Hi Npeters22, I saw your contributions to the list: great work in progress! :) Best regards, Brz7 22:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing. Something hypnotic about those flags. Npeters22 12:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimeet?

Since you indicated that you live in Pittsburgh, you may be interested in a Wikimeet I'm trying to set up in Pittsburgh. You may join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Pittsburgh if you're intersted. We currently have 4 interested users, and we're trying to get that up to 5 or more. Once we have at least 5 interested people, we can then discuss the time and location. (Note: If for any reason you do not wish to participate, simply ignore this message.)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for your efforts at ENMU! Amazing that someone in PA knows about this small school in NM! --198.59.190.201 19:55, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Once again, thanks for your newest efforts at ENMU. --198.59.190.201 20:10, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ==United States Congressional Delegations from Pennsylvania==

You seem to be the keeper of this article. That's why I'm coming to you. The reps need more than just color-coding for parties (although the colors are good). Each rep should have a party abbreviation. See United States Congressional Delegations from Massachusetts, for examples. Thanks! —Markles 20:43, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I've found a nice, reliable, online source for getting the names of the people in Congressional delegations: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/serialset/cdocuments/hd108-222/index.html , but I'm not sure how best to incoporate it into the many, many articles we have that could use it as a reference. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. JesseW, the juggling janitor 04:33, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for doing a great job by adding new content to wikipedia! Keep up the good work. (P.S. i gave you a barnstar on your main page. If you dont want it there, you can move it) Chris Kreider 18:30, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing! Npeters22 13:45, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of United States Representatives from Foo

Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States Representatives from Minnesota. It is about to get deleted (any day now) and I think that would be a shame. —Markles 21:01, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Isaac Van Horne

Hi, I seem to be having a bit of trouble adding info to his biog. He was a member of Congress from Bucks Co. before and maybe during the first year or so that it met in DC. Then he went West and became really perhaps as important in Ohio. His biog info has aleady been kind of a fuss, as the Congress Website folks dug in their heals after they made a typo in his place of residence, and wouldn't even accept that they have the correct info in their own Library. IVH was b Solebury Bucks Co PA and lived there until 1805 when he went to Ohio, also I've got quite a bit more info on him, since he wrote an autobiography and was Adjutant General of the Ohio Militia during the War of 1812, was a founding member of the Society of Cincinnati, and President of a number of Businesses in the then State Capital of Ohio (Zanesville) any help here appreciated John5Russell3Finley 00:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Please see my note at Talk:Pennsylvania's 1st congressional district#General ticket. What do you think? (You can answer here or on that talk page. You needn't answer on my talk page).—Markles 21:56, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roman Catholic Diocese of Oudtshoorn

I just looked at Roman Catholic Diocese of Oudtshoorn and you mistakenly wrote Senegal for South Africa. I fixed it but wanted to let you know quick in case you're cutting and pasting. Rigadoun (talk) 16:02, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks. I was doing a cut and paste and missed that change.Npeters22 20:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested merges

Hi Npeters22, two articles you created, Twelve Mile Island and Fourteen Mile Island, Allegheny River, have been proposed for merger into Allegheny Islands State Park. Your comments on the talk page about the proposed mergers are welcomed. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 15:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to WikiProject Catholicism!

Hello, Npeters22, and welcome to Wikiproject Catholicism! Thank you for your generous offer to help
contribute. I'm sure your input will be much appreciated. I hope you enjoy contributing here and being a Catholic Project Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to discuss anything on the project talk page, or to leave a message on my own talk page. Please remember to sign all your comments, and be bold with your edits. Again, welcome, and happy editing! --Thw1309 20:33, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sporting clubs established in 1911

Hi Npeters22. FYI, I have reverted your recategorisation of Indianapolis 500 and Porto-Lisboa from Category:1911 establishments to Category:Sports clubs established in 1911 on the basis that there articles describe sporting events rather than clubs/teams. I'm happy to discuss further if you like. (For example, I would support these articles being moved into a category called "Sporting events established in 1911" but I'm not confident that such categories would contain sufficient articles to make them worthwhile). Regards. DH85868993 23:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Good work on Christianity and Dioceses in Africa. This is the kind of thing that takes wikipedia to the next level. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 20:27, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roman Catholic Diocese of Bungoma

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Roman Catholic Diocese of Bungoma, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Rambutan (talk) 16:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that anybody would wish to read about it; I don't think it passes the notability policy - just because it's part of something notable doesn't mean it's notable itself (notability is not inherited).--Rambutan (talk) 17:09, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I admit it is a stub, but by including it in the encyclopedia, it should encourage others to add more information. I do provide source information. And there is definitely interest in the topic. If you do a search on Google, you will find many links to Catholic and other religious organizations regarding this Diocese. To people interested in missionary work, individual dioceses in Africa are defineitely notable.Npeters22 17:32, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Roman Catholic Diocese of Bungoma

Roman Catholic Diocese of Bungoma, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Roman Catholic Diocese of Bungoma satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roman Catholic Diocese of Bungoma and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Roman Catholic Diocese of Bungoma during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Rambutan (talk) 07:46, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On 24 November 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Allegheny Arsenal, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
