Nanjing Massacre (no images)

I'm unaware of any policy that would support the creation of an alternate, image-free version of an article, any more than it would be alright to create an alternate version without "objectionable" or "graphic" descriptions. Unless you can point me to such a policy, I am going to list this for deletion. Postdlf 15:33, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Chattanooga

I was just reading your excellent article on Chattanooga when I noticed a sentence fragment. In the second paragraph of the "Economy" section, you'll see the sentence "Following the city's industrial decline, many businesses in the banking and insurance industries." I wasn't quite sure where you were headed with that, so I thought I'd call it to your attention. Dmleach 12:17, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The sentence fragment has been fixed. Thanks for pointing it out. Chattanooga is my adopted hometown, so I decided to adopt its WP article as well. --ZekeMacNeil 15:10, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

My pleasure. My wife and I visit Chattanooga four or five times a year to help with the many quizbowl tournaments UTC hosts. We were just there this past weekend, as a matter of fact, and that's what led me to check out the Wikipedia article about the city. Dmleach 16:16, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Dave Thomas

From where did Dave Thomas hail if it wasn't Knoxville, Tennessee. He lived and worked with the Regas brothers. -- Fingers-of-Pyrex 17:44, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)

It appears that Thomas lived in Oak Ridge during WWII and rode a bus into Knoxville to work in the restaurant. I remember reading somewhere, though, that he actually lived with the Regas family in Knoxville at some point. Another research project for another day. -- Fingers-of-Pyrex 21:55, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)

Re: Tennessee Highways

Collaboration is good. I have the "official" list of state routes from TDOT, and I'm working on making the "official" list for Wikipedia. I've got routes 1-200 done, but they go up to 457 (plus State Route 840). Send me an e-mail, and I'll reply with the source document and the wiki text; then you can do some and I can do some. -- Fingers-of-Pyrex 18:18, 2005 Jun 19 (UTC)

Send me an e-mail via Wikipedia. Then I can reply directly with the attachments. -- Fingers-of-Pyrex 20:22, 2005 Jun 19 (UTC)

I've updated the page List of Tennessee state highways sans routes 201-300. -- Fingers-of-Pyrex 04:31, 2005 Jun 20 (UTC)

A sort of small thing

You "undid the actions of a vandalizing infantile retard" in your own words on New Orleans. While correcting vandalism is great, many people live with, work on behalf of, and take care of "retards." Please consider your word choice. Marskell 22:47, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

95 Theses

Thanks, Zeke! I fumbled the revert. --CTSWyneken 18:28, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Category:Clan MacNeil has been proposed for deletion

Category:Clan MacNeil has been proposed for deletion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion#Family name categories under the assumption that it is a "family name category". Please provide your opinion on that page, especially if it is meant to be something other than a "family name" category (e.g. a clan history category). Mike Dillon 22:45, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Grace Moore

What was your basis for saying that Grace Moore moved to Chattanooga as a child? All sources indicate that she grew up in Jellico, which claims her as its most famous citizen. For example, see http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/imagegallery.php?EntryID=M119 , http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0601254/bio , and http://www.gracemoore.net/biography.php --orlady 18:13, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Gilbert du Motier, marquis de La Fayette

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thanks, and happy editing.

Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks!

Note also the need to give sources for claims. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:01, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Good catch!

Thanks for fixing the typo on Zechariah. Figma 21:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I came all the way here to say the very same thing: Thanks! Funny, I was looking at my own name's page today too (it's a different one).  :-) Hope you like what I've done with "yours"; it was a bigger project than I anticipated! Fayenatic london 21:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Oops -- according to Zeke, that's not what it's short for. My bad. Fayenatic london

Chattanooga History Project

Hey Zeke. I'm thinking about starting up a wikipedia Chattanooga History project. I've been slowly over the last few weeks creating, expanding, and cleaning up notable Chattanooga related articles (persons, places, business, and organizations). I've been focusing a lot on the families and persons who've played such a big role in the development of the town: Carters, Luptons, Pattens, Probasco's, Johnstons, etc. I figured it may be a good idea to get us all chattanooga interested wikipedians collaborating together. Waddya think? Qmax 21:57, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to give you a headsup that I moved St. Elmo to a new page with the correct name: St. Elmo Historic District. I have the history of St. Elmo book, which I'm guessing will come in handy once we start putting together the Chattanooga History project. Oh, and I'm a PK too. :) Qmax 21:43, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I joined WP:TN and am gonna start up the Chattanooga History Task force. BillCJ is in too. Qmax 23:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

The Chattanooga Task Force is going! Qmax 03:58, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 07:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
