University of Dayton Ghetto

Wow, you've been busy! Removing the tags can be done by anyone, really, but it's better to let someone "outside" the page do it. I changed the top tag to one requesting additional sources (since everything is sourced from the school's newspaper). There's never been a mention of the Ghetto in even a local newspaper? I would think there would be something out there. The OR tag pretty much has to stand unless you can find a reference about all those houses names. Also, I did a little shuffling: I moved the "Darkside/Holy Angels" section above the "Features" section because Darkside gets mentioned in Features; it doesn't seem to mess up the article's flow at all. And I made subsections for the list of Frat houses + Unique houses.

I hope you aren't bummed out about the tags staying; hopefully they'll attract the attention of another editor who can supply additional information (and you won't get stuck with all the work. Anyway, great job! Closenplay 21:55, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I forgot to address your question about the anonymous IP editor. Possible avenues for you to explore: WP:3RR or WP:PPOL. I would recommend, however, that unless the edits are appearing more than once a day (I mean, I know they did today, but for a few days in a row), that you simply "watch" the page (as I imagine you already do) and just revert them as they occur. It's simple to do, and less of a hassle. Eventually the person will get bored and give up. (Or they will escalate things and you can have them blocked; either way, you win.) I'll leave a comment hidden by the list, warning people not to add more houses. Good luck! Closenplay 00:14, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, the article really could use some photos. Can you or someone you know get some photos of some of the buildings mentioned in the article? (McGinnis Center, maybe a frat house or "The Castle", things like that.) Two or three photos would help the article immensely, I think. Closenplay 01:12, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Dayton Ghetto

Yes, you can remove tags if you believe that the problem has been fixed. In this particular case, the article appears to have sufficient sources and/or references. If you come across a situation where you believe a problem is fixed and another editor disagrees (or vice versa) I would suggest asking an outside opinion at WP:3O.

With respect to the IP address editor, you could start by talking to him (e.g. pointing out our policies with respect to citation, as well as conflict of interest). Should this fail to resolve anything, you can request for the page to be (semi-) protected (WP:RFPP), or if the editor is problematic you can request blocks (WP:AIV or pages linked from there). Happy editing! >Radiant< 11:05, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

'This is a reply to your last message', I was confusing another article with somthing else. I did make thoes edits and it was not Shepstep. I was thinking that you were talking about another article. I will take what you have told me and I will be sure to watch what edits I make. thanks. Texas141 (talk) 19:13, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of University of Dayton Ghetto

The article University of Dayton Ghetto you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . It hasn't failed because it's basically a good article, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:University of Dayton Ghetto for things needed to be addressed. Eustress (talk) 02:33, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Just wanted to remind you that there are a couple days remaining for this article's GAN. --Eustress (talk) 00:32, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I've been waiting for Thursday - it's when I've got a nice chunk of time to take care of it. Newsboy85 (talk) 06:49, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

SVG Map

Hi there, I noticed your post on the Samesex marriage in USA svg file, and I was just wondering how you edit an svg map. Is there an easy explanation, or are you aware of a resource here on WP that explains how to do so? I am looking to update Map-of-US-state-cannabis-laws.svg, but I am not sure how to do so. Any help would be appreciated. If not, thanks for your work on the same-sex marriage map. --Another Believer _(Talk) 04:24, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply! I will look into the information you provided in the near future. Best wishes! --Another Believer _(Talk) 19:09, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Help w/ U.S. marijuana maps

Hi there (again)--I see I have communicated with you before! I notice you contribute to and discuss the same-sex marriage map of the United States. I am continually impressed with how up-to-date that map remains, and how much activity the talk page receives. I am finding it difficult to keep the three U.S. maps relating to marijuana found here up to date, so I was wondering if you might take a look and perhaps even add the images to your watchlist. I tried updating this one over at Commons, but the image has not updated yet (see NJ here). I am not sure if you have an interest in the legal status of cannabis or not, but I could sure use some help with keep the maps current. If interested, take a look! Thanks! --Another Believer _(Talk) 18:54, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Update Flyer Enterprises Logo

Doing some work on Flyer Enterprises presence on Wikipedia and on Facebook for a new alumni group. However, the Facebook community page that pulls in wikipedia is pulling in the old logo. Could you please change to new file? The image on the community Facebook Page is pointing here, and I'm not able to edit your logo.
