== Re: Other site ==
I probably made that div invisible because the number of articles was embarrassingly low. I've changed it now. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 19:43, 25 March 2007 (CDT)
== Heads up re: possible server errors ==
I've been trying to fix the problem with using ampersands in page titles, but am having more trouble than I anticipated. If you happen to revise an article during a time when I'm testing a new configuration, you may encounter a server error. Therefore, I would recommend you do a quick "select-all-copy" maneuver before clicking the submit button. Sorry for the hassle. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 10:26, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
Also (unrelated question), is there a particular reason you're using the "Day-Month" order for dates? It seems like it adds more work to date sorting, and I can't think of any major benefits. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 10:30, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
*I dunno lolz, I like it better? It feels more encyclopaedic. It would be preferable I guess if we just had 365 redirects but that is a PITA. If it bugs you I can begrudgingly adopt the month-day order. '''[[User:Dcosson|dcosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 10:35, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
:I understand the preference. (Personally I like writing dates as YYYY.MM.DD, as they sort nicely in alphabetical order.) However, unlike Wikipedia or other projects with an international "flavour", I'd wager most people who will be using Pensapedia like their dates nice 'n' Americanized. Also, I think it will read better for the year pages, e.g.:
*March 3 - Event
*March 27 - Event
*April 2 - Event
:...is easier to follow than...
*3 March - Event
*27 March - Event
*2 April - Event

== Re: Cuba, etc. ==
I [[User_talk:Wikid77|left a message]] with some suggestions. If you have the time, feel free to play around with those pages, truncating, moving or deleting as you think is appropriate. Otherwise I'll do it later tonight. Thanks! --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 10:48, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
== Re: Blount ==
Thanks. I went ahead and scanned in a couple pics from one of my sources. A lot of quality is lost between book and scan, but it's better than nothing until we can get a higher-quality version. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 14:31, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
:Brent is all yours if you want him. I'll add anything I can later. These long articles are killing my non-Pensapedia-related productivity. :) --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 15:13, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
== Wikified Infoboxes ==
Nah, I got nothing against 'em. I didn't want to wikify the date for the expansion without knowing the year for sure, and since most everything was covered in the article itself, it seemed a more elegant solution at the time. I wasn't consistent, though, so I went ahead and re-wikified. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 09:22, 1 April 2007 (CDT)
== Re: Server load ==
Thanks for the concern, but I'd rather have the high-res files online for posterity. Space isn't really the issue; I've got 4+ gigabytes available, with only... (checks) 170 MB used so far.
I've noticed the slowness as well and have complained to my hosting provider, but I don't think it's on our end. I use a shared server, which could have a hundred or a thousand other sites running at the same time, and with Pensapedia, it's mainly just been the two of us contributing so far — not enough to bog down the server.
The only reason I mentioned it on the old aerial rendering is because it's so big — 4MB — that if it got on a featured article with many people viewing it at once, the resizing toolkit would have a lot of work to do. But with images of only a few hundred kilobytes or smaller, this isn't an issue.

== Re: Notability ==
I'm cool with articles on "lesser" relations of more well-known individuals. Not only is it just being thorough, but historians with better access to primary sources may know more about them. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 21:56, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
== Mundane stuff ==
I know it's not as fun as I know it's not as fun as writing articles (which is precisely why I haven't done it yet), but if you have any time, could you help me populate the various Portal and Help pages? I feel like that's a bottleneck that could be limiting wider involvement -- i.e., visitors get to the homepage and don't know where/how to browse/contribute.
FYI, I think I'm going to replace the Reference portal (which I originally envisioned as our version of WikiSource) with a generic "People" portal. I also intend to create various sub-portals like Education, Navy, Health care, Architecture, etc.
In addition to our talk pages (which have sadly become some of two of the most [[Special:Statistics|popular pages]]), you can [[Special:Emailuser/Admin|email me]] with any questions. Thanks! --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 09:41, 18 April 2007 (CDT)
== Progressive Pensacola ==
I've been enjoying your [[Progressive Pensacola]] blog posts. Do you intend to transfer the sheriff candidate profiles into Pensapedia articles? <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 11:59, 23 July 2008 (CDT)
:Much obliged. I hadn't thought about it, to be honest (busy as hell lately, as you I'm sure can tell by my diminished activity here), but it would be a good idea, with some significant editing. I left a lot of biodata out of my profiles for length reasons that would be better suited for Pensapedia. '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 14:31, 23 July 2008 (CDT)
::Understood. I've been pretty busy meself. I'll just leave it to you when you have some time. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 15:42, 23 July 2008 (CDT)
== Transparent signatures ==
There, I think I got 'em all. The JPGs will have to be replaced manually with their PNG counterparts. (JPGs don't support alpha channel transparency, s'why.) Let me know if you find any more that need the treatment. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 20:40, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
== Google Street View ==
FYI... I have installed the widget extension that enables Google Maps Street View. You can see a sample working on [[User talk:Admin#Google Maps Street View|my talk page]]. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 17:51, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
== Rising Stars ==
Nice writeup in the ''IN'', btw. (Was that a Superman pose or what?) Congrats! <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 18:03, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
:Hahaha. It's my standby pose when I don't know what else to do. I can't believe they used that one. Their photographer went through a few standard poses and then just told me to do whatever. Thanks! <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 18:07, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
::Gotcha. Not only did they use that shot, you got the "Alice spot" on the cover. (I notice they hid the Obamas in there, while covering up two other dudes in the top corner. Heh.) <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 18:30, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

== Radio station template ==
When you get a minute, could you port [[Wikipedia:Template:Infobox radio station]]? I'm not really so hot at that sort of thing. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 09:28, 8 January 2010 (CST)
== TourBusStop ==
Wanting to connect as many 'CivicWiki' as I can, would you be interested in hosting a [http://meatballwiki.org/wiki/TourBus bus stop for the tour?]
