Changes

==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){{RightTOC}}

::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. If you'd like to go through them, 'll burn you a DVD sometime. <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> 17:17, 5 April 2009 (CDT) == "Confederate" == Mon ami, tied for second at [[Special:WantedPages]] is [[Confederate]]. What do you think we should do with that? Redirect it to some sort of article specifically about the Confederacy in Pensacola? Replace said links with interwiki links to Wikipedia's Confederacy article? Redirect to [[Civil War]]? Any thoughts? <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> 13:35, 11 May 2009 (CDT):I was thinking that it would eventually have its own article about the Confederate presence in Pensacola, maybe a list of officers, etc. But I'd be fine if it redirects to Civil War till we get around to it. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 14:02, 11 May 2009 (CDT) ==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. [[User:Sethisodd|Sethisodd]] 22:06, 27 June 2009 (CDT):Trying to make articles for every school's valedictorian and salutatorian would be untenable, I think, especially since many of them don't return to Pensacola after college. A table listing similar to what you started (and what I've since moved to a single article [[List of Pensacola High School graduating classes|here]]) should be sufficient, unless the individuals go on to do other things that are [[Pensapedia:Notability|notable]]. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 16:17, 29 June 2009 (CDT)::I think you misunderstood me. I wanted a table on the actual school's page that simply had the names of maybe the past two valedictorians, i.e. Travis Hornsby - 2008 in the left box, then PHS IB Valedictorian in the center, and then Jenny Zeng - 2009 on the right box. Then, PHS IB Valedictorian would link to the now merged page of the lists. It doesn't have to be implemented, but I thought it would be something neat to include on the school's page. Let me know what you think or if you think the idea could be improved. [[User:Sethisodd|Sethisodd]] 16:24, 29 June 2009 (CDT):::Oh, I see now. Hmm... how about just a link to the "graduating classes" article? Maybe under a "See also" header? <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 16:46, 29 June 2009 (CDT)::::Sounds good. I'll take care of it. [[User:Sethisodd|Sethisodd]] 17:19, 29 June 2009 (CDT) == Article headers == Hey -- did you change how the article headers display? They are just showing up as inline text for me, whereas before they were flash objects with your fancy Pensapedia font. <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> 12:18, 2 August 2009 (CDT):Yeah, that happened at my work computer after some software update or another. My home computer still shows the Flash font replacement correctly. I expect the technique I'm using is falling out of compliance as browsers are updated. I think the script has since been updated, but I'll probably switch over to CSS3 @font-face embedding. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 19:10, 2 August 2009 (CDT) == F. D. Sanders == The City is looking for a photo of [[Frank Dent Sanders]] for a plaque at the new [[Sanders Beach-Corinne Jones Community Center]]. You can't, by chance, think of anywhere where you have seen a better image than our crummy newsprint photo, can you? <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> 11:42, 6 September 2009 (CDT):Nope, sorry; what's here is the best I've seen. I'd guess the Historical Society/WFHPI probably has an original somewhere, if anyone does. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 12:20, 6 September 2009 (CDT) == Pensapedia equivalent of Wikisource == How would you feel about having a Pensapedia equivalent of [http://en.wikisource.org Wikisource]? We could use it to post the full text of Pensacola-related documents, like [[West Florida transfer of sovereignty document, 1821]], or more recently, particularly noteworthy City ordinances/resolutions. If you hadn't noticed, I've been citing a lot of them lately, and it's impossible to directly link to them because the City keeps its digitised records in this horrible, ancient, difficult-to-navigate Fortis system which requires downloading a special plugin. What I'm suggesting is that we could create, for instance, a Source: or Document: namespace and then I could transcribe noteworthy one, like the Jim Crow ordinances, or the street name changing one from 1906, etc. Just an idea... if it doesn't sound like a good one, no biggie. <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> 18:41, 11 September 2009 (CDT) :Yeah, I had considered something like a "Source:" namespace in the past, to archive primary sources in digital format, but never actually got around to it. Not hard to set it up though. You prefer "Source" or "Document"? <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 00:18, 12 September 2009 (CDT)::Source: is good with me, but I don't have a preference, really. <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> 07:29, 13 September 2009 (CDT):::Okay, "Source" and "Source talk" are namespaces now, as visible in the [[Special:Search|Search function]]. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 18:28, 14 September 2009 (CDT) == Help me identify this photo == [[Image:3A 003A.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]From where was this photo taken? I can't figure it out. <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> 07:26, 11 July 2010 (CDT) :Very strange, doesn't correspond with the geography of Pensacola as I ever knew it. It's definitely the late 20s, early 30s judging by the cars. The tall building labeled as American National Bank ''could'' be the back side of what I knew as the Empire Bldg. at Gov't and Palafox; but that would mean the camera is somewhere in the vicinity of Government St. between Railroad St. and Seville Square, and the big body of water at the right doesn't make sense.:The lower dark bldg. left of the bank tower would be sitting on Ferdinand Plaza; that doesn't work.:Also at the far right is an ornate, baroque church looking kind of building, which is not something I recognize. Plus some more baroque/mediterranean looking buildings not as tall, don't recognize either. And if you look dead center in the photograph, beyond the covered street bridge (also nothing I recognize), the tall building in the distance seems to be set at an angle - which again doesn't correspond to Pensacola geography.:Don't think the water could be the bayfront, as the Empire Bldg. isn't that close to the water.:Plus there are too many palm trees (?) at the left of the pic to correspond with that area of downtown. I don't think its Pensacola. Mobile, maybe? Jacksonville? Did the Am. Nat'l Bk. have a branch outside Pensacola? A mystery, for sure. Where did you find this? [[User:Textorus|Textorus]] 02:53, 22 September 2010 (CDT)::It was listed on eBay and advertised as Pensacola. I think you're right though, despite the American National Bank signage, this has to be somewhere else. <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> 10:45, 22 September 2010 (CDT) == Registration == Was browsing the site and found something that wanted correction (a red link for which there is a page but under a slightly different name) but without a login it looks like my edits won't take. I think I might be able to make a few more contributions - I have some original photos from the NAS which would not be under anyone else's copyright that I might contribute plus some other things, however, I cannot find a registration function which branches off the login page on most wikis. Am an editor in wikipedia - not terribly prolific but my edits persist because I know what I am doing and on several wikispot wikis as well as being a long term editor on DMOZ and a publisher of many sites. Is there some way I might get a login for Pensapedia? I also don't find any easy messaging system besides talk and I don't want to leave my email/contact details in the clear.
