I just filed a case regarding Doncram's editing behavior. Since you spoke up strongly for him in a recent AN/I discussion, I wanted to make sure you saw it. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 06:39, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In the arbcom request, SarekOfVulcan has cited a recent edit by you to the Architects of the National Park Service article as evidence. I would welcome your reviewing that and providing your characterization of the same, if you are willing.

I replied to your relatively recent reply at Talk:Architects of the National Park Service about the Chattanooga and Chickamauga National Park item, too. Further, I note in history that you recently removed a number more items from the list. This is fodder for the arbcom apparently. I did ask at the Talk page for you to move items to the Talk page rather than simply removing them, because it would be relatively easy for you to do so in the process, while it takes more effort later, and in my judgment it would be worth remembering and being able to reconsider those removals later. On the Chattanooga one, although I agree with your removal in the end, I believe that finding the NRHP documentation and considering it was worthwhile, and easily could have led to our agreeing it should be restored. However I gather your judgment of the relative costs involved and of the likelihoods of restoration involved are different than mine, and I won't bring up this request again. Thanks. --doncram 20:34, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cbl, I noticed your comment and doncram's talk page. In fact, we can contribute "evidence" to the case at this stage. Below is the notice I received of it at my talk page. The original deadline was Jan. 17, but the date originally on my talk page was Jan. 24. Subsequently, doncram asked for and received an extension until Jan. 24. (There is clearly something wrong with my notice, because the date advances a day each day.) Lvklock (talk) 02:32, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An arbitration case in which you commented has been opened, and is located at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Doncram. Evidence that you wish the Arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence sub-page, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Doncram/Evidence. Please add your evidence by October 14, 2013, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can contribute to the case workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Doncram/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, (X! · talk)  · @812  ·  18:29, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's still time to submit evidence in that Doncram arbitration case, if you have anything to say, and there are several more days for "workshop" discussion. I'm particularly concerned (on Doncram's behalf) to see that Doncram hasn't submitted anything yet. Maybe you can encourage him to do so... --Orlady (talk) 21:35, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cbl, would you be interested in creating a List of University of Michigan Olympians? I've left similar messages for Tony and Jweiss. It would parallel similar lists for the University of Florida, Princeton and other major university contributors of Olympic athletes. Good references are available, and I'm happy to point the way for anyone who wants to create this list, including a roster of swimmers, sources, etc. There is a partial list included in List of University of Michigan sporting alumni, but it's not even close to complete. Let me know . . . I am contemplating a major clean-up of the University of Florida Olympians list, and I'm looking for ideas. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:25, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cbl62, I noticed that you wrote the section in Americana at Brand called "Fireworks display causes controversy." I'm a Glendale resident who shops at the Americana occasionally, and when I read this wiki article, that section just seemed a little out of place and not that relevant anymore. I lived in Glendale in 2008 as well. I remember the incident being a little annoying, and probably relevant for inclusion in the Wikipedia article in 2008, but four and a half years later, I just don't think it matters anymore. I'm not an employee of the Americana, nor was I paid to write this. I just think that a small mistake made by a company a single time several years ago, that didn't establish a pattern, doesn't deserve a large negative section in their relatively small Wikipedia article.

I notice that you have been removing nicknames from the introductory, bold listing of name in many baseball player articles in recent days. This struck me as being odd. It's always been my understanding that the nicknames should be listed when a player was commonly known by the nickname. E.g. Baseball Hall of Famers Babe Ruth', Whitey Ford, Pepper Martin, Sparky Anderson, Yogi Berra, Chief Bender, Catfish Hunter, Lefty Grove, Kid Nichols, Rube Foster, Dizzy Dean, Home Run Baker, Cool Papa Bell, Candy Cummings, Jocko Conlan, Goose Goslin, Gabby Hartnett, Chick Hafey, King Kelly, Happy Chandler, etc. Has there been a more recent discussion reflecting a change in consensus on this?

Hey, thanks for your comment at time of arbitration process, which may have had some effect. And thanks for your collaboration in the ND articles, now recognized in "Articled" graphic. (If the graphic here is not updated, this seems to show full status.)

By the way, i notice that just 48 in San Bernardino Cty, 70 in Orange Cty, and 36 strategic others that i'll work on would make a swath of 100% articled counties from the ocean to North Dakota and Canada....  :) --doncram 13:27, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, it's turned out the swath is coming out through NRHPs in Ventura County instead of the O.C. All but 2 archeological sites have articles there now, and dark red runs from NRHPs in Kern County all the way to Kansas now.  :) An interesting one just found is User:Doncram/Charles M. Pratt House, an ultimate bungalow arguably more spectacular than the Gamble House. Out of all that I've touched in quite a while I am guessing this one might be the one you'd be most interested in further developing...your taking that one over would be most welcome, if you're interested.

Just wanted to drop a line to say although I am not a Michigan man, I am always impressed with the work you do on Wolverines football history and season articles. After seeing your recent "History of ..." articles, I was inspired to start one for Alabama Crimson Tide football under Nick Saban and look to gradually knock more off the list of Bama coaches back to at least Wallace Wade. I know it will take a while, but to see another editor on here consistently produce such top-notch content on the college team they are passionate about, really motivates me to develop more about my beloved Crimson Tide. It's not said enough around here, but thank you for all of the excellent work you do to produce comprehensive, interesting and cited content in the college football realm.

I just realized that Tom Scott (American football coach) (found on {{Brooklyn Dodgers (AAFC) coach navbox}}) might be the same as Tommy Scott (coach) (found on the Old Dominion football, basketball, and baseball navboxes). I'm only basing this possibility on them sharing the same name and being in the same era. Can you confirm whether this is the same person or not? Jrcla2 (talk) 18:59, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jweiss11. First, I'm going to say that User:Cbl62 is the best editor I've ever seen at digging up historical resources and verifying cases of "is this the same person?" That being said, I think you're pretty darn good at it too. I left Cbl a message (found here) but he might be busy and hasn't gotten back to me. Do you have any inclination to see if you can tackle this potential case of same-identity? If not no biggie. Thanks! Jrcla2 (talk) 13:26, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cbl62 is indeed a great researcher and editor. I found this 1946 NY Times article that says Tom Scott of the Brooklyn Dodgers was 26 at the time. Blurb from another article found here says the Brooklyn Dodgers coach played at Army in the 1940s. So, looks it's not the same guy as Tommy Scott (coach). Jweiss11 (talk) 03:15, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not you that's causing my frustration (actually, your feedback improved the article) and your efforts are appreciated, but general atmosphere in Wikipedia is killing any leftover patience I might have.

I noticed that the William Perigo article had some contradictory info. At one point, it said he played for the Indianapolis Kautskys from 1933 to 1935, but in the infobox and lead, it gave the date range as 1934 to 1936.

Cbl62, I was hoping you could solve (or at least address) the age discrepancy in the Connie Hill article.

The infobox, which bases the age on the actual birth and death dates, gives 83. The sources—the Providence Journal obituary cited, which I can't see in full and the abstract of which doesn't include any dates or ages, and the FN4 UMich source cited in non-date capacities—apparently say 82, which is what is listed in the article. Can you recheck whichever source you used for the birth date, and if it is indeed 1918, then the article should probably note the discrepancy between birth date and obits, as having the two ages is a bit confusing.
