Few questions for you regarding your photos of the station entrance pylons...

• What equipment did you use to take these photos?
• When did you take these?
• What other pylons do you have?

I think it does make for a nice addition to the articles you've added them to. But yeah, please drop me a note on my talk page and let me know... SchuminWeb (Talk) 12:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. My only suggestion for the next time you photograph the pylons is that you get the whole thing from top to bottom. It looks more "complete" that way. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Please look over the guideline at WP:SUBST, and please note the key sentence:

Template substitution is a permanent change that removes functionality; it should generally be avoided without a good reason.

Hello, Niagara. Due to the high number of inactive users at WP:USRD, we are asking that you verify that you are still an active contributor of the project. To do so, please add an asterisk (*) after your name on Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Newsletter/List. Users without one by the next issue in 2 weeks will be removed off the list and off the respective road projects as well. If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page. Thanks. TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 20:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the Erie, Pa., flag. I didn't know what was wrong with it but removed it so it wouldn't make the page look bad, figuring I'd look at it later on. Thanks!! --Write On 1983 22:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

You have been declared an inactive user and your name will be removed from the newsletter distribution and the projects you were a member of. If this is in error, please contact me on my talk page. Do not restore your name to the list. Regards, Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 21:01, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Please do not blank talk pages. This is considered vandalism and warnings will be issued (especially by more hard nosed editors). This is a one-time gesture. Please don't do it again. Thanks...SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Toil)} 20:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I kinda figured, which is why I didn't put an warn1 warning. I hate those things. But you do have a point though, it only puts a service grade signal into Erie during the day. Oddly, on Wikipedia and TVRadioWorld it is considered part of the Erie DMA. Is there a Conneaut, Ohio template...or an Erie Media one? So it is not classified as part of Erie, just Erie media. Let me know if I can help further. - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Toil)} 21:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Added the WP:WPRS template in place of the Erie one:) - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Toil)} 22:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

User talk:66.211.223.200 seems an unrepentant nonsense creator. It looks like the behavior goes back to early 2005 and is regular. The warnings should be over for this one. We've been too nice. Pat 15:03, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

We could track and manage the page from the Erie perspective and let the road warriors handle the more complex aspects of dealing with an article about a roadway. I see no problem in adopting it with that in mind, and I've seen articles with many WikiProject hosts. I guess it all comes down to whether or not we want to take on that responsibility. I would vote to adopt it, since the highway leads right to our doorstep and almost drops into Lake Erie. We have more right to it than most. I was concerned about tagging the plastics industry because it is international and we have no real say in it. If you wish to object to I-79, I'd go along with you, but I think there's no harm, we can be accepting of others and their contributions to the page, and we can help keep tabs on changes that impact us from an Erie perspective. Pat 22:43, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Take a look at Category:WikiProject Philadelphia articles. They have four or five Interstates and everything else that isn't nailed down. They even have a listing for the Baltimore Pike, an East Coast roadway. Pittsburgh has lots of articles, like Phillie, and one Interstate. Dallas-Ft Worth has lots of articles and several Interstates. Miami has no Interstates, but almost 20 Florida state roads. Boston has very few articles in their list, and no Interstates. Chicago and NYC both seem rather sparse, and no Interstates. I think we're fine including it, but I'm not invested in this either way. Actually, I've been wondering if I've been picking topics that are reasonable for the Erie Project. I've been looking for a connection and trying to bring wayward pages back to the fold. Let me know if I go too far astray. We can always compare thoughts.

btw, Category:WikiProject Philadelphia shows that Category:WikiProject Philadelphia articles page. It seems rather convenient to see a listing of all the articles. Any way we could get that too? I'm not quite sure how it is done. Pat 04:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable, then. I agree to not have I-79 included in the Erie WikiProject. Anything I need to do? Pat 15:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC) I think we're cool. The item I wanted you to add, was already there. You're just so good! ;-) Pat 21:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

How was your wikibreak? I've been to the forest before and usually its great. Hope the rain did not ruin your fun. I've made some major edits to the Erie, PA page and I am still waiting for someone to review it. Well; its nice to have you back! --T. Wiki 22:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I get it now. Your message was unnecessarily condescending btw, you should consider working on your manners. Marcus Taylor 13:32, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I apologize for making that bad edit at the WSEE article. What I meant was that it was the first station in Erie to have video on their website, but I was wrong. And, I thought the WSEE.com section was notable enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sean90 (talk • contribs) 20:58 Jun 14, 2007 (UTC)

Yes. It does not have anything to do with the pages, but why is Erie TV still in it's dark ages? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sean90 (talk • contribs) 2:22 Jun 16, 2007 (UTC)

I've created a template, Template: Erie Travel for Erie Transportation.(see below) I know there are large gaps of information, so please fill them in and tag erie-related transportation things with it. Also, the template in your sandbox is about ready to be moved to the template name-space.
Here is the template: {{Erie Travel}}
Thanks, have a great day. --trey 00:07, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

the color of Template:Erie Travel has been lightened so as to not drown out the blue link text that is in the headers - please let me know if you have any questions. but please don't include the templates on articles that don't fall completely within Erie PA. These articles don't focus upon the subject of the template (Erie) where as Erie_International_Airport and Transportation in Erie, Pennsylvania do. Thanks. master son^{T - C} 01:05, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Only thing seeming to hold it back is image issues. I have fair use rationaled all, but I need you to sign saying that you created (which I believe you did, seeing some paint marks ect.) Please sign off on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ERI_sticker.png and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Erie_flag.jpg Thanks alot! --trey 17:12, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 22:30, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello, fellow numismatic. Thank you very much for the infobox you added to HNoMS Heimdal OPV (1892). I really like it. I have a question I thought you might be able to answer; do you know of a converter that converts feet into meters for infobox use? Like the "55 metres (180.45 ft)" of the infobox you supplied, only the other way around? I would appreciate it if you could help. Keep up the good work. Manxruler 02:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. That's good info to have. A really useful template. Will get back to you if I have anything else at a later time. Be well. Manxruler 05:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the new ship's infobox that you put on the Moyie (sternwheeler), it looks great. I upgraded all the sternwheeler articles I created with it. Anyway, my question is about the Canadian red ensign flag, in which category did you find it? Can you point me towards where I can find the proper ship's flags for other eras ie: 1870 or 1910? Thanks.CindyBo^talk 10:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
