[edit] Area Code 330

Next time in the future, please be sure to create the article first then add any redirects. This way, things can go a lot smoother and your redirects won't be deleted. Thanks. --Tuspm ^{Talk | Contribs | E-Mail Me} 01:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Who are you?

Who are you? I'm a Hudsonite as well. It would be interesting to see if we know eachother. Feel free to drop me an email.--treblig ^{Talk | Contribs | E-Mail Me} 05:16, 8 August 2006

So, what happened (or will happen) to the site on which this tavern was? -- SwissCelt 03:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Summit County

Please note: I have created maps showing the location of each community in Summit County, Ohio. However, I have not uploaded each of them yet. Please allow me to upload all 31 of them before creating your own. --DangApricot 14:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hudson, Ohio

Please see the "linking" part of WP:USSH. --NE2 20:32, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay. Well, it all goes to the same page anyway. :-) --DangApricot 23:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stow, Ohio

I'm looking for a little assistance on the matter of copyrighted material in this article. What do you think? Catfood73 16:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Naomi Slodki

Are you planning on creating a page for her? Her name was intentionally left unlinked, along with the other production designers' names: they're not notable, and don't deserve Wikipedia articles. In any case, the first mention of her name should be the one linked, and that is in the section above. Cheers! Robert K S 00:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Heh, thanks for the tip. I'm wavering on it. I try to avoid vandalism involving PA's — unless they're really off the wall. I haven't decided how high leprechauns score on the bizarre scale for me yet. Anyway, thanks for sending it my way, I got a laugh out of it. Tijuana Brass 01:26, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

Thank you for your help and support in the AfD discussion for Heinen's Fine Foods. Recently reviewing this article, which I originally created, I was completely shocked to learn that it was nominated for deletion. About 7 months ago, I spent a great deal of time and energy putting the article together, fighting for its presence in Wikipedia, and lastly editing it to meet aspects of both neutrality and notability. I cannot believe that it could so quickly be nominated for deletion and even considered by some as possible db-spam. I agree that perhaps parts of the article were written in a way that lacked neutrality, but I do not think the additional sections were pieces of advertisement. I especially find it ridiculous that once again others tried to support its deletion, claiming non-notability. However, I understand the relative difficulty in meeting Wikipedia standards and I understand that it is not uncommon for members to challenge the presence of an article. Dealing with the issue of advertisement, though, I do not see the reasoning behind the removal of the advertising slogan or the unique (uncommon to many grocery stores) services offered. As much as I should avoid comparing one article to others, I must point out that numerous articles dealing with grocery chains (national and local alike) provide information related to advertising, branding, and in-store services. Perhaps these parts of the Heinen's Fine Foods article were written incorrectly, and perhaps rewriting these sections would prove to settle the dispute behind the neutrality of the article. I am just afraid that in the condition it is in right now, the article will be nominated to AfD again for supposed non-notability. I read your suggestions in integrating the deleted information and I appreciate your support in the matter. The article needs some deal of work in the information it contains and in its overall structure. Any further support or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

[edit] Fair use image gallery

Hello. I followed a link from Image:FairfieldOhioSeal.png (the city seal of Fairfield, Ohio) to your user page where I found that you have a whole gallery of seals. I'm not sure if you're aware, but according to the Non-free content criteria policy, fair use images aren't allowed on user pages. There are copyright issues involved and it's not a case of Wikipedia (or me!) just making arbitrary rules. I know you're proud of the images you've uploaded, but you should really erase that gallery from your user page. Sorry to have to tell you about this. —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 17:39, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FairfieldOhioSeal.png removed from your user page

I'm not going to clutter up your talk page with all of them, but I have changed all the images of seals used on your page into links people can click to see the images. Thank you for your understanding, and my apologies for having to mess around with your user page. —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 14:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Ohio Newsletter

Issue II - May 2008
From the editor: Here's Issue II of the project newsletter. We're trying to decide if this is sinking or floating. If you would like to contribute to next month's newsletter please jump right in at the News Desk! Have a great May. The Ohio Portal The maintainers of the Ohio Portal are looking to get it to featured status. They would like to ask all project members to help improve it any way they can. What needs to be done most is the supplying of selected articles and images. Selected Article: Indian Head Rock There is a eight ton rock in Ohio that was removed from the Ohio River. This rock is known as the Indian Head Rock Dating back to the early 1800’s, this rock was seen sticking out of the Ohio River and used as a navigational mark for barges along the river. The names of citizens from the town of Portsmouth, Ohio are carved into the rock from the late nineteenth a early twentieth centuries. Some of the names were of well known families from Ohio. They would swim out to the rock, have their picture taken with it or simply carve their names into it. With the advent of the Locks and Dams along the Ohio River, the rock eventually was submerged, but the legend lived on. A gentleman from Ironton, Ohio located the rock after searching a very long time for it, and he and a crew of scuba divers recovered the rock and took it to the shore to be donated to Ohio for historical value. After hearing the news about the rock being removed, Kentucky introduced legislation against the removal of the rock. They also want the diver who found it to be prosecuted for removing the rock. Kentucky owns the greatest part of the land the river runs on. Even the Army Corp. of Engineers got involved as to how to move the rock without damaging it. Kentucky wants to have it returned to the river. Billy Massie	Article Assessment Reedy Bot and ShepBot are currently hard at work tagging all of the Ohio articles.
