The Humungous Image Tagging Project
Hi. You've helped with User:Sietse Snel/Fix common mistakes project, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)
January 15 Seattle meetup
Just wanted to let you know we are planning another Seattle meetup on January 15, 2005. We're trying to get a sense of who will attend, so please drop by that page & leave a note. I realize at that distance you aren't likely to make it, but I haven't heard of an Eastern Washington meetups... -- Jmabel | Talk 01:35, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)
- There aren't very many Eastern Washington editors, as far as I can tell. Perhaps I need to try to find some! Anyway, there will be times when I'm on the west side (February 16-17 in Olympia, for instance) so perhaps we can arrange something for that time. Brian Sayrs 18:33, 2005 Jan 6 (UTC)
Liberty Lake, Washington
Hi, I'm wondering whether it is a good idea to split off the City article in the way that you did. Couldn't you simply edit the existing Liberty Lake, Washington article? After all, isn't that what the city is named? If you do not want the CDP census data mixed in with the new city information, then I would suggest moving the CDP article to something like Liberty Lake (CDP), Washington. Best. older≠wiser 03:13, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
- I know you've done a great deal of work on this topic, and I respect that. But in this case, editing it as a single article was to become burdensome because "Liberty Lake, Washington" is a place, and "City of Liberty Lake, Washington" is a government entity. Unfortunately, they are not synonymous nor coterminal--this is more due to local political circumstances than census characteristics, highlighting a need for these subjects to be treated separately. I considered moving the CDP and community data to another location, but due to my impression of the current naming standard within the CDP category, I moved the other. Besides, I consider the City to be a subordinate subject to the community (as a government is only one characteristic of a community), so I made the City article carry the parenthetical modifier. Thanks, though, for challenging my thoughts on this! I need to keep on my toes! Brian Sayrs 18:25, 2005 Jan 6 (UTC)
