Editing User talk:Admin

==Other site==
Admin:  I run [http://wikipensacola.com http://wikipensacola.com].  As I look at some of the stuff you are doing, it seems silly to duplicate one another's efforts.  There are a few issues I have with your site, though.  When I first visited this site you were using a restrictive license, but it appears that you have migrated to GFDL.  Is this the case for all content?  Secondly, why do you use that weird SWF Flash thing to render article titles?  Just to use that font? :-) [[User:Wikipens|Wikipens]] 22:28, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

==Also==
May I ask what hosting company you are using?  Also what version of MediaWiki?  And your logo, did you design that, or pull it from somewhere? [[User:Wikipens|Wikipens]] 15:18, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
:Wasn't sure if you noticed my previous response, but I'm posting answers to these questions on your [[User_talk:Wikipens|talk page]]. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 16:01, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
::Yeah, I noticed. [[User:Wikipens|Wikipens]] 16:18, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

==Thirdly==
I didn't even realise MediaWiki 1.9 was out.  Geez.

I am considering merging my project into yours, because as I said, it seems kind-of silly to duplicate our efforts.  Firsly, would you have any problem with me doing that?

Secondly, do you have a process for adminning other users?  Do you plan on allowing other admins? [[User:Wikipens|Wikipens]] 16:18, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

:One more thing:  Do you make backups of the database ever? [[User:Wikipens|Wikipens]] 16:54, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
::So far, I've done backups whenever I upgrade the MediaWiki software. I suppose that's something I'll need to do more frequently, though. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 17:00, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

:Sorry for the endless questions, but I am curious and OCD... Did you try using the logo as the favicon?  It looks like it would make a really nice favicon, but too much detail might be lost at 16x16, j/w... [[User:Wikipens|Wikipens]] 17:10, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

:Also, you can delete the image I uploaded at [[:Image:Endoftheline.jpg]] if you like, I am not ready to move the article over, I have to figure out the differences in the google maps extensions our two sites use. [[User:Wikipens|Wikipens]] 17:20, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

Ah ha!  I didn't notice that "make a map" link.  That makes it a lot more intuitive than the GMaps extension I was using.  Mine didn't have the ability to do paths, either.  Awesome.  [[User:Wikipens|Wikipens]] 20:30, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

==24 March==
I have responded to you on my talk page.  Also, I tried to insert route number (Florida 289) into the infobox code for the [[9th Avenue]] article, but it is not displaying, would you mind taking a look at that?  I am not good with conditionals.  [[User:Wikipens|Wikipens]] 12:19, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
:I'm fairly certain the problem is entirely my fault. (I'm not good with conditionals either.) The [[Wikipedia:Template:Infobox road|Wikipedia road infobox]] I copied had all kinds of extra parameters for cross-country highways that I omitted, and some of the output fields were probably lost in the process. I'll look into it. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 13:29, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
::Cool.  I was using barebones infoboxes on my project that just had params w/o conditionals.  Conditionals are useful but confusing as hell.  As far as the addresses thing we talked about on my talk page, that works for me.  I'd just like a place to put that info, like what business used to be in a particular building, etc. and it doesn't seem fitting to put it in the article for the current occupant.  I'm definitely not advocating we have articles for every podunk address in the city with content like "My uncle Jim lives here", etc.  As far as the adminship, thanks a bunch.  If I make any edits to articles you started, stylistic or otherwise, that you disagree with, feel free to revert me or bring it up with me on my talk page.

==Name change==
Hey, do you know how/have the ability to change a username or reassign edits to another username.  I don't really want this username, I picked it before I really committed to migrating my content to your site. [[User:Wikipens|Wikipens]] 18:24, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
:I think there's an extension I can install to do this. Create the username you want and let me know. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 19:46, 24 March 2007 (CDT)

== Hey, I really like this Idea... ==

I found Pensapedia through a talk page on wikipedia, and I really love the idea. I got an account a few days ago, and began editing when I got the time, and I think I got a lot done, albeit haphazardly I suppose. I was just sort of operating on the principal that "whatever I'm about to do is better than no article on this particular subject" I guess. The issue of the CMPA is pretty...fuzzy. The CMPA board has only been in existence for several months, however CMPA, Inc. has been around for several years now. And of course now Quint Studer no longer has any sort of official position in the CMPA. Maybe we could clarify in the article that Community Maritime Park Associates developed the idea for the CMP, instead of simply saying "developed."

Sorry about the vague categories, again, I think I may have been getting a little carried away.

Anyway, this is a wonderful idea and I'll do what I can to help. Thanks a bunch for getting the ball rolling on something like this.

== New username ==

Lolz I thought so but no big deal.  Can you try [[User:Dcosson]]?  That should be okay as the "C" is not capitalised as it is in the one I created. [[User:Wikipens|Wikipens]] 10:49, 25 March 2007 (CDT)

== Park-stub and park infobox ==

Hey.  I could do the stub I guess, but we need park stub and park infobox templates established.  :-)  '''[[User:Dcosson|dcosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 12:40, 25 March 2007 (CDT)

== Road infobox ==

Hey, I figured out why the road infobox isn't allowing the route field to be populated.  It's the section <nowiki>{{#if:{{{state|}}}|
{{!}}colspan="2" align="center"{{!}}'''<big>{{infobox road/{{{state}}} {{{type}}} name|num={{{route}}}}}</big>'''</nowiki>.  The Wikipedia template accounts for subtemplates ("Infobox road/state").  At some point (whenever you get around to it), can you strip this section and replace it with a field which is just "Route" for the title and allows me to input route shield images as the content?

Personally, I think such articles are good.  They may encourage genealogists to contribute something.  But if you don't want to go down that road, I'd understand.  So what do you think? '''[[User:Dcosson|dcosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 21:44, 16 April 2007 (CDT)

== Historic Pensacola ==

Accidentally discovered this pedia doing Google searching, and wish I'd run across it earlier. I'm working on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_National_Register_of_Historic_Places Wikipedia National Register of Historic Places Project], particularly Florida, since that's where I live. Ironically, I took a trip up thru the panhandle last weekend, and spent a good part of Saturday in Pensacola and took lots of pics. Then I find that you've shot a bunch of the places on my list. My goal, btw, is to get shots of all the NRHPs in Florida. If I can figure how to transfer some of yours to Wikipedia, I'd love to, so as to get some of the stuff I missed. And maybe talk you into getting a pic or two of some of the ones I missed? Anyway, good luck with this project.

At [http://www.stjohnshistoriccemetery.com/commemoration_days_main.htm], a bit down the page under "Pensacola Police of the Past", there are five PPD photos... the first two are c. 1890s and I have uploaded them as PD-old.  Of the latter three, the third's date is unknown;  the fourth is from 1938, and the fifth is from 1952.  The alt comments for the images state they are courtesy of the Pensacola Police Department.  Would you gander then that the PPD is copyright holder?  Do you know if they are eligible to hold copyright?  '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 12:08, 25 April 2008 (CDT)
:Works of the federal are generally free to use, but the PPD wouldn't fall under that. From [http://www.cendi.gov/publications/04-8copyright.html#313 here]:
<blockquote>
'''3.1.3  Does 17 USC §10560 apply to works of State and Local Governments?'''<br/>
No, it applies only to federal government works. State and local governments may and often do claim copyright in their publications. It is their prerogative to set policies that may allow, require, restrict or prohibit claim of copyright on some or all works produced by their government units.

Hey, man... in the date articles you've edited, you're moving the "Events" sections above the "Births" sections... and changing & nbsp;s to regular dashes.  Any particular reason lol?  Just wondering.  '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 12:36, 5 June 2008 (CDT)
:The Events before Births thing wasn't intentional... just couldn't remember which we've been putting first, or if we had a rule about that. You prefer Births first? As for the dashes, I usually don't bother with the <code>&amp;ndash;</code> code. I just type in the character like I would in a word processor (option-hyphen on my Mac)... is MediaWiki not translating it the right way?

I don't mind you not using them, but do you mind if I correct them?  Haha.  And I do prefer the order of "Births", "Deaths", "Events", but more for standardisation than for preference.

:Yeah, it's the old [[Blount Junior High School]] built in [[1937]] (expanded from the earlier [[Lockley Elementary School]] built in [[1915]]). Closed around '82, it was purchased from the school district by [[Frank McGinley]] for about $5000 "as-is." McGinley was going to turn it into retirement apartments and spent about $250k removing asbestos and fixing it up, and even lived in it for a while, but ran out of money. After [[Hurricane Ivan]] some investors bought the property for $400k. Source: "'Dinosaur' of an old school becomes home to ex-student."

== Aerial images ==

I have obtained from the UF Libraries a total of 1,885 high-resolution aerial images dating from 1940-1965. I don't know exactly what to do with them. I don't guess I should upload them all because they're huge. Even after converting them to JPEG at 80% quality they're still 2+ MB each, which works out to 3+ GB. They're pretty awesome though. Whaddya think, just upload individual images when they're something noteworthy in the image? <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">—&nbsp;'''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]'''&nbsp;</span> 16:47, 5 April 2009 (CDT)
:Wow, that's fantastic! We could make room for them all, but navigation could get tricky.

::Yeah. Well I thought of doing it kind of like you did the Sanborn maps, and separating them either by year or by flight (for example, 1940 has like 9 different flights). But even then having them all on the same page would be cumbersome probably. I'll start using them here and there like I've done in [[Port of Pensacola]]. These images are really awesome and document growth like nothing else.

==Table Help?== 

Hey there. I wanted to use something similar to a succession table on [[Pensacola High School]] to put the most recent valedictorian and then the one before him/her. I also wanted to do something similar for the salutatorian. So basically it'd be the title in the middle, i.e. Valedictorian, and then on the left it'd have 2008's valedictorian or something and then 2009's on the right, and it could be updated yearly. Then we could somehow link the title to a list of all of the past valedictorians and a list of all past salutatorians or something like that. I can go ahead and work on the list now, and feel free to make suggestions as to the format of the table. I just didn't know the easiest way to do it.
