I hereby award Douglas W. Jones the Tireless Contributor Barnstar for his vast number of exceptional edits and seemingly unending devotion to improving the Chicago Tunnel Company. Lost on Belmont (talk) 06:37, 25 February 2010 (UTC) |
I have reassessed Chicago Tunnel Company. You would do well sending the article through a full WP:PR. You could also improve the article if you address some of the comments I made on the talk page.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 08:16, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for adding pic to Ned Ashton House and developing it a bit, thereby actually making it a lot more useful as an article. I see u've developed other NRHP articles nicely too, such as B'nai Jacob Synagogue (Ottumwa, Iowa). I wonder, are you aware that you can obtain free very good NRHP nomination documents for use in developing these, by email request to the National Register (see wp:NRHPhelp for details). Also, please consider joining WikiProject NRHP (at wp:NRHP) -- you'd be very welcome-- and feel free to announce your new articles in the section for that purpose, there. Keep up the good work!

I have been watching with interest as you add information to various Iowa community articles of late as I patrol all Iowa communities (counties, cities, unincorporated communities, townships, etc.). I wanted to thank you and to tell you I am pleased to see you citing a source for all the information you have been adding, it is what I do also. I also wanted to alert you to a Communities help section at WP:IOWA/C and encourage you to join. I see you have just added a couple of ((Historical populations)) templates recently. I was using the same template until I ran across the ((USCensusPop)) and then I started to use it as it is a narrow version and has some other parameters built in, (in the ((Historical populations)) you could use the parameter |width= 20% to accomplish the same thing) either template works, I just thought I would alert you to the choice. I also wanted to inform you that the Iowa Data Center has a updated to include the 2010 census figures that can be downloaded in either PDF or as an excel document. that can be found at IOWA DATA CENTER. I downloaded the excel copy as I find it easier to use but you could download the PDF file if you prefer and use that as a direct reference source. I also thought I would show you an example of how I have refined my population reference (footnote) in the ((USCensusPop)) template. <center>Iowa Data Center <ref name="IADC">((cite web|url= http://www.iowadatacenter.org/archive/2011/02/feb10|title= Data from the 2010 Census|publisher=State Data Center of Iowa|accessdate=2011-06-03))</ref> This centers the footnote in the table and places the source cited in the References section. I also have a US Census source that I use that lists just the 2010 population and the occupancy data in a table at US CENSUS BUREAU. An example of these are at Nevada, Iowa and you can see the changes at NEVADA CHANGES. I do not mean to infer that you need to add your information exactly as I have, just showing you my way. By all means please continue adding information as you see fit.
Keep up the good editing.--RifeIdeas Talk 00:58, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
thanks for the excellent feedback on File:Side by side comparison of a Suspension bridge to Trestle Bridge, located in Steubenville Ohio..jpg, can you give me a little guidance on how to rename the title? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmiller wiki (talk • contribs) 15:51, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
I saw your addition to Teleprinter ... note that in 1921, the Morkrum Company started production of the Model 11. The name "Teletype" was first applied to this machine and also used in the company sales literature. ... By 1928, these Teleprinter machines were being produced by Teletype Corporation based on their equipment trademark. ... I'm thinking that your information could better be viewed in the section under manufacturers section (Teletype) rather than in the history section of the general teleprinter article. ... .Wa3frp (talk) 23:26, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions at Lawrence W. Jones. I had entered him on the New Trier High School article as an alumnus, but that entry was reverted because yearbooks are not considered reliable sources. Do you have any suggestions to document his high school graduation with reliable secondary sources? I've run out of search ideas. Cheers! Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 05:46, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi, You have attempted to link the Tipple article to rotary car dumper. The latter article only describes a machine used to unload a full-size railroad car, typically at a coal terminal or a power plant. In a tipple, a much smaller rotary machine is used to unload a mine car into a full-size railroad car. Currently we don't have a separate article describing the smaller rotary dump machine, and as such I have removed the link to the wrong article. There are some pictures of small rotary dump machines available at Commons: Category:Rotary tipples. Moreau1 (talk) 16:07, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
