about the reference here?

Life is supposed to be interesting. But, this interesting?

PS - you did notice the footnote/reference I put in on the Pittsburgh building? eeek
It's funny that you would ask... yes I do know about Mr. Coe. I would say his greatest work in Beaumont would be the Jefferson County Courthouse. It has some amazing detail work. He also did the First National Bank Building. Detailed pictures of this building can be found at houstondeco.org. I'm not sure what other buildings he has done, but I know someone who will know...

from Emil Siebern's niece. Not much new info, but the stuff about the lawsuit against Charles Niehaus might be fun. Also the Black Hand trying to burn his house down. Not all that relevant, but good gossip value, and isn't that what history is really about? Carptrash (talk) 17:47, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Some time ago, you did a huge and very nice gesture checking the article “Ethereal being” and removing the copy-edit Tag. This article has been improved the last six months until few days ago some user(s) messed it and filled it with tags. Would be possible you check again the copy-edit issue, and remove the tag if seems ok to you? Ah, you may find strange the article, that’s because, after that, other user downsized all the images (not the ideal, but he said that were wp rules… kind of, I think). If you are too busy, don’t worry, I absolutely understand, Thanks anyway.
Hi Lockley, sorry I have forgot one other thing (if it is not too much asking). I started a stub to French philosopher Jean Chevalier, do you know who could have the expertise to expand his biography? Best, Hour of Angels (talk) 17:16, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
I think the new labor template is a very positive addition. Thanks. Richard Myers (talk) 11:22, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on the short film categories. However, please don't remove the parent category of Category:American films, even if it has sub-cat, per WP:FILMCAT. If you have a query about this, please raise it at the Film Project's talkpage. Lugnuts (talk) 19:10, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Lockley, that's a great new feature started in the categorys of American silent films. Is that a bot or are you actually going through your paces linking up each film. While I'm not keen on too many categories, this new one sorts out 'features' from 'shorts' such as two-reelers and also 'serials' which are several films in one. Again great initiative . I don't know what's to happen to the old "American silent films" category, should we keep it as a supplementary category or do away with it. Also are you good with uploading film poster? I ask because of my bungling with The Barrier, a marvelous French release poster of this lost silent film. Thanks much again. Koplimek (talk) 16:48, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
I'm doubtful about the 21 December 2011 edits made to William_Desmond_Taylor. I have seen no contemporary evidence that Taylor directed A Soul Astray, A Story of Little Italy, The Son of Thomas Gray, The Beggar Child, The Song of the Sea Shell, or A Slice of Life. Taylor's film career is fairly well documented, and I have seen nothing to indicate that he worked for American Film until 1915. IMDB is very unreliable. According to scholarly U.C. Santa Barbara web site http://www.filmandmedia.ucsb.edu/flyinga , A Soul Astray was directed by Thomas Ricketts; A Story of Little Italy and The Son of Thomas Gray were directed by Lorimer Johnston; The Beggar Child, The Song of the Sea Shell and A Slice of Life were directed by Henry Otto; Even if Taylor did direct those films (which I doubt), what makes them "notable"? They were not feature films and made no impact, then or afterward. If they are listed, then I suggest the "notable" adjective be deleted. Pikabruce (talk) 17:15, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

that Morley was connected with the Fisher Theater. Gadzoooks, it is a small world. The Morley house in Santa Fe is one of the original Pueblo Revival events, now surrounded by an 8 foot (give or take) wall. Morley's efforts as a spy in Central America during WWI is another odd moment. I received a disc in the mail, a friend is looking at it for me. Life here is even more intense than normal.
a kindly but knowledgeable wikipedian made us a map of all the architectural sculpture in the US - after I supplied him with all the zip codes. I plan on posting it somewhere here (wikipedia) and will let you know when it happens. It might look nice on our web site too. Life is . . . . . . . . . . . ....... complex.

Hello Lockley. Thanks for the edit regarding the Selma Rome & Dalton Railroad reference within the convict leasing article. I think that there is still a problem in that the article includes a link to a Georgia and Alabama Railroad article that includes the statement: "The Georgia & Alabama railroad began operation on June 1, 1989..." Thus, it can't be the convict-lease-era Georgia & Alabama railroad, given the start date of 1989. (I was not sure if this comment should be on my talk page, your talk page, or the article talk page. Please let me know if I have responded inappropriately. Thanks. Cycloneta (talk) 04:09, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
Lockely, I like all the new dam articles you have been making, particularly List of United States Bureau of Reclamation dams which is a great overview to what they did in the west. I am curious though if you wouldn't mind adding Template:Infobox dam to anymore new articles you make. It will save an editor time later if they expand the article and you can plus the coordinates in for a map which can add context to an article w/o an image. Thanks.--NortyNort (Holla) 18:52, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Lockley, I noticed that you recently added some information to the Rasmussen Reports page. It looks like the information you added, as well as the reference that you cited, are already used in the article under the "criticism" section. I am new here and not sure how these things work, but should that information appear twice in the article? Let me know, thanks. Unlawfully blonde (talk) 01:17, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
Just wanted to point out that all of those articles are referenced. Just not in the usual format. If you look at the IDF, IDP and IDM columns most of them have a link to a page at historicplaces.ca that references the entries in the article. Cheers.

Hello, I appreciate the fact that you are taking interest in French films. I have got the very film at home and over the years I watched it about ten times. Before I wrote the English article I read the German and the French Wiki article and I watched the film again while I wrote the article. All the information provided in this article is covered by the IMDB and Allmovie, except for the plot. I was once told that the film itself was a source for the film's content. Obviously it is not. So I removed it. Please tell what I can do better in the future. Shall I provide the ISBN number of a DVD release of the film? Does the PAL version suffice or is the ISBN number of the NTSC (American NTSC that it, of course) required as well? NordhornerII_The man from Nordhorn 02:15, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi, while reading on the article of Paul Philippe Cret, I noticed that there is an errant reference that doesn't point to any part of the article, First chapter of "The Civic Architecture of Paul Cret". I looked through the history, and I located the entry being yours. (diff page) I didn't want to guess what parts of the data were from the source, so I thought to ask you directly if you wanted to make the link into a proper ref. ~ Nelg (talk) 21:54, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
Well I was banned from the Mens Rights Movement, which is just as well, I have other things to do. Like getting over my Dupuytren's contracture "proceedure".

Hi, you had tagged the E-CellID page as lacking proper inline references which it was quite true, I wonder if after the changes I did you would consider it a good idea to remove the tag. The article is certainly very short, but I have my doubts on how interesting it can be for people. Is there a good way of knowing how many hits an article gets?

went on a stub spree for women artists who showed at the Armory Show. I see that you have discovered some of them and are actually making them work. Many thinks. Just back from Akron, Ohio with a bunch of buildings - well 4 or 5 - but am having trouble figuring them out. It turns out that no one has really "done" Akron before. I did meet (see Very random occurrence on way to airport) Don Drumm (sculptor) and got his picture but not much else. He did do a few architectural things. Anyway, I did add the picture to his article. Life. what a place to live. eeeeeeek Carptrash (talk) 21:38, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Lockley,
In the Mammal Species of the World; Dipodinae [3] this subfamily belongs to Fischer, 1817, but two of the synonyms belongs to Dipodes Fischer de Waldheim, 1817 and Dipodum Fischer de Waldheim, 1817. Both Fischers wored in 1817. Could they be the same person? Or who might be the Dipodinae Fischer, 1817? Regards. DenesFeri (talk) 10:55, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent articles, including Jan Cybis, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like ((WikiProject Keyword)) to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. This can help you too, as the WikiProject members will often defend your work from deletion and try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information.

I think it was you who have introduced the phrase "Polish National Historic Monuments" ([4]) which now appears in a number of articles ([5]). First, thank you for starting this. Second, I believe that the name is incorrect, it should be [Polish] "Historic(al) Monuments", without National (or Polish), as pl name is pomnik historii. I've created a list that is redirected from Historic Monument (Poland), a term which is now properly explained in the parent Objects of cultural heritage in Poland. I'd appreciate if you could help fix the term as used in the 20 or so articles I listed above in this fashion (and I guess the text in the infobox should be changed from "National Heritage of Poland" to "Historic(al) Monument [of Poland]"?. Please note, I am not sure if Historic or Historical is better, feel free to comment on talk of the list and fix the usage in affected articles.

The article Lyndall Bass has a slight error: The date-of-birth (the one inside the list that contains the activities the person does, on the top) is written in British English and needs to be changed to American English because the article is written in American English. Also it doesn't contain Lyndall's age. NOTE: Although one of Wikipedia's primary rules for users is to respect all national varieties of English, my request is in no way trying to violate the rules of Wikipedia in any way.
Lockley, would you accept a revised red link guideline that requires a minimum of three blue links to existing stand-alone articles or lists, with at least 50% of all included links being blue, coupled with the clarification of the existing "succession" and "complete set" exceptions? Personally, I think that would be an extremely reasonable compromise, and if I can get 10 committed supporters, I'm ready to start lobbying previous !voters (not a violation of WP:CANVASS) in favor of compromise.

Labor spy is another labor-related article with, as far as I can see, entirely U.S. content. Is there any reason not to just rename the article to reflect this: Labor spying in the United States? Also, the over-enthusiastic author added so much material that has nothing to do with the topic (but belongs in the more general article, Union busting), that the genuine labor spy material is sometimes drowned out. Your input would be appreciated. Thanks. Plazak (talk) 13:34, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

I just walked in from seeing the new Jason Bourne movie with Ragnar, we see about 1 flic a year and this was it. Both enjoyed it but it will make neither's Top 500 films list. Other than that, sort of depressed since Mom died and not sure what to do with rest of life, so am doing a fair amount of diddly diddly do editing on wikipedia. No deep thinking stuff just lists and the like. Sort of slow motion, one little edit at a time sort of thing.

I feel foolish for not thinking of this building. Especially since I started the article on its sculptor, Edward Maene. Thanks for adding it. Best, == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 12:14, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
I'm going with tequila in my corn flakes today. And forget that spinach, I am opposed to that stuff always, but is the old PO missing from Gordon? Seems to be. The article says the groups (by DCF) were given to Boston, but where are they? Carptrash (talk) 19:22, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
Hey, Lockley. I'm not sure what you were trying to do with your recent edit. The original 1908-09 bank building had no pediment, although the NRHP nomination argues that its Ionic columns probably were reused when the portico & pediment were added, which seems to be 1931-32. Here's a photo from 1909.[7] Am I getting this wrong? Best, == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 01:22, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks so very much for your revisions of Coal miners' strike of 1873. The entry reads much better. It's great that you added information from the Tuscarawas Valley. My only objection is this sentence in the Afterward: "The 1873 strike was one of many in the region, with the Panic of 1873 an underlying cause." The Panic of 1873 began in October of that year, but the walkouts began in January [1]. WarrenRicheyKid WarrenRicheyKid (talk) 03:40, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I've been following the good work you've been doing on categorizing more precisely the known distribution of spiders. It's certainly helpful to break up North and South America. I am wary of going too far, though – Brazil, certainly; Argentina – well, ok; smaller countries I would oppose – the distribution of spiders is simply not sufficiently well known, and political boundaries are not the important ones. Consider Category:Spiders of India – does this really mean the country of India, i.e. excluding Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh? Or does it mean the Indian subcontinent? Peter coxhead (talk) 06:09, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
Great work you're continuing to do on spider categorization! I suspect there are enough spiders with a cosmopolitan distribution to have Category:Cosmopolitan spiders as a subcategory of Category:Cosmopolitan arthropods. What do you think? Peter coxhead (talk) 20:53, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

I'm inclined to think you're right, and 1909 is a more likely date for the posing for Isidore Konti. The unfortunate thing is that it almost eliminates the possibility that Munson posed for French's Mourning Victory, since the Melvin Memorial was dedicated on June 16, 1909. Rush job? @Carptrash: Did Munson ever claim to have posed for Mourning Victory?

Thanks for the addition, Lockley. @Carptrash: This might interest you, too.
I've long wanted to write something about Alfred Bendiner, and a couple issues from today brought me back to him.
You can find many of Bendiner's cartoons online, and I'm sure you'll enjoy them. It's a shame that they remain non-PD.

Since the "unencyclopedic tone" tag is rather ambiguous in specificity, can you review my recent edits and remove the tag if satisfactory. Appreciate it. - LuckyLouie (talk) 13:52, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
Dear Lockley, I am trying to clean and correct the tone of the page you tagged. I edited the article, rephrased or deleted the statements. I also deleted some of the quotes as I have found it over-quoted. I hope I didn’t delete too much (I wouldn’t like to be tagged for vandalism). I respect other’s work, but want to give it a proper form (according to the Manual of Style/Biography and BLP). Could you please advice me whether I should edit something more or rephrase some parts or quotes? Thank you very much for your time. (Bibliof (talk) 07:38, 3 July 2020 (UTC))
Because you asked about the bluegreen hair I checked out your user page and here's some of what came from that: ((Frederick William MacMonnies)), Category:Sculptures by Frederick William MacMonnies.

On 14 October 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Drinking fountains in Philadelphia, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Wilson Cary Swann organized the construction of several drinking fountains in Philadelphia, in part to stop people from drinking alcohol? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Drinking fountains in Philadelphia. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Drinking fountains in Philadelphia), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I came across that one looking to do some CAT:NN cleanup. I'm not convinced that there's a WP:NORG or WP:GNG pass here, as the coverage seems to be mainly government reports (affiliated with the agency helping run the prison) and some databases of prisons. As you've been active recently and created the article, I was wondering if you were aware of any coverage of this one that would make it notable before I AFD'd it.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Carl Fehmer, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Brookline, Second Empire and Oliver Ames.

The article Pedimental sculptures in Canada has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
List has not received attention as a group topic (some of the individual sculptures may be notable of course). Wikipedia shouldn't be the first to make a certain grouping of subjects.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fram (talk) 07:59, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

John Vanderlyn, Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos (c.1812), Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts |
Best wishes for a safe, healthy and prosperous 2022. | |
Thank you for your contributions toward making Wikipedia a better and more accurate place. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 20:04, 26 December 2021 (UTC) Moral lesson: John Vanderlyn was an American painter who studied in Paris, and his life-sized Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos was one of the first large nudes exhibited in the United States. Peddling the poison as well as the cure, this overtly sensuous work was presented to the public as a moral lesson on the consequences of lascivious behavior. Visible in the distance is the ship of Princess Ariadne's secret lover, Theseus, for whom she has betrayed her people by helping him to escape the Labyrinth and slay the Minotaur. Ariadne's bliss will come to an end when she awakens from her post-coital reverie, only to discover that the faithless Theseus has sailed away without her. |
