Proposed deletion of Squeeze job
editA proposed deletion template has been added to the article Squeeze job, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Not enough information to determine if this is process of sufficient notability.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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. -- btphelps (talk) (contribs) 19:51, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

DeWalt, Missouri City, Texas
editHi, Irv (Casey56), I didn't mean to imply that you'd done anything wrong when I opened the talk page discussion on your proposed move of DeWalt, Missouri City, Texas; I saw AjaxSmack's comment on the requested moves page and, based on a google search, thought the subject was worth talking out before a page move. I'll respond further on the article talk page. For future reference, if you are confident a move will be uncontroversial, you don't need to list it under Other proposals; you can move it yourself, add a db-move tag, or list it at Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Uncontroversial_requests, depending on what, if anything, is at the target name. Best wishes, Baileypalblue (talk) 07:13, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification on procedures, and see ongoing dialog on the requested name change itself. (It looks as if I'll probably by withdrawing my request after additional local research.) Irv (talk) 19:19, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
- I'm always happy to be of assistance. Good luck researching, I'll be interested to see future updates if they are forthcoming. Best wishes, Baileypalblue (talk) 20:35, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

editWelcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Quail Valley (Missouri City, Texas) has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \btypepad\.com\b (links: http://traction.typepad.com/qvgc/).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 22:23, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Belated response to WikiProject Houston comments
editI live in the Greater Houston area but not close to Galveston Bay although I have visited that part of the region many times. I just looked at this article for the first time, and knowing nothing about the editing history (or having the time to parse such) or of the Wiki politics going on among, say, members of various constituencies in the Bay Area, imho the CITATION NEEDED and UNRELIABLE SOURCE comments have been applied with an overly heavy brush. For example, why would the Bay Area Historical Society in Baytown not be a reliable source for "Some other definitions...used by some other sources..." as to whether Baytown is a part of the Bay Area? And the prose in the SUBDIVISIONS section seems quite descriptive of what most Houstonians understand about that part of the region. Does every subjective thought need to be referenced? The article as a whole already is extensively footnoted, including Jim Blackburn's excellent new book on Texas bays. My two cents worth and now I'll bow out... Irv (talk) 00:07, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
- FYI: I had gotten some feedback and responses after posting the query regarding Galveston Bay Area and had never checked back on the WikiProject page so I just noticed your comments now. Thanks for the response.
- This page sadly has attracted a lot of "Wiki politics" issues. Unfortunately this has made it extremely difficult to even stabilize the article much less more forward toward GA and beyond. Though some headway is being made the topic, for whatever reason, seems to elicit such strong passions that I truly don't know how there will ever be a credible consensus (i.e. all it takes is one editor to come along, put a bunch of new banners, and refuse to compromise to block progress). It seems that unless I put "Houston is the most important city in Southeast Texas" at the top of the article there is always going to be somebody who thinks the article should be deleted.

Face jug page?
editI saw your comment on Catawba Valley Pottery regarding a face jug article. That is a good idea. I've also been thinking of putting up a list of potters and potteries producing face jugs in the US. I also took a couple of photos of the subject. They are presently used on the Jerry Dolyn Brown page. Well, one is a pitcher instead of a jug but it is substantially the same artform. I'm fascinated by the style of jug produced by Robert A. Crook but I've not found any fair use photos of his decidedly bizarre art. Regards. Trilobitealive (talk) 02:12, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
- Started a stub list article List of American makers of face jugs today. Lots of people like your Georgia relatives who probably need to be included once their notability is estblished for the Wikipedia powers-that-be. Thanks for your reply on my talk page. I'll follow your talk page if you wish so we don't get lost. And let me know when you start the Face jug article and I'll try to help out. Drat the policy on original research!

"Take Me Out to the Ball Game"
editHi. I'm following up on an edit you made a few days ago to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." I don't know what stadiums you have visited, but in my experience, it isn't true that the line "Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack" is sung with a pause between "Cracker" and "Jack"; to my ear, the cadence on that line is the same as any other. I'd be interested in where you have had this experience or whether you've seen this written anywhere.
I do agree, however, that most people incorrectly sing "Cracker Jacks" instead of "Cracker Jack." Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:07, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments. I mainly hear the song at games of Houston Astros and new Atlantic League team Sugar Land Skeeters, who play in a nearby suburb. The latter's season is over (and the Astros' might as well have been with their opening-day loss!), so I won't hear it live for a while. It may be my imagination, but I do perceive it in the second of the two sound bytes in the Wiki article itself. otoh, renditions by Harry Carey on YouTube are at such a sedate tempo that I don't hear it there -- and definitely not in the version found as a sidebar to Note 5's reference. What I need to do is get that book mentioned earlier in the article; it has a CD with 16 different renditions.
- Meanwhile, I've revised my edit somewhat; does that look OK? BTW: my moniker "Casey" is for Casey Jones rather than "Casey at the Bat" because I'm more of a train fan than baseball fan. Casey (talk) 16:00, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
