User talk:Dananderson

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

How to edit a page
Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
Picture tutorial
How to write a great article
Naming conventions
Manual of Style
If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page.

By the way, are you the same Dan Anderson who runs [1] ? The history pages there are great! Please feel free to add or expand any Sierra-Nevada-related articles, especially historic photographs.

Looking forward to more contributions from you. Again, welcome! -- hike395 15:50, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Welcome again; public domain resources

Dan: I'm really glad you've decided to contribute to Wikipedia! I like your web page at drydog.com, especially the photo of you in the snowcat. Feel free to put any of that information on your user page User:Dananderson. It's not fair, but having an empty user page often leads other people to believe that you aren't a real contributor. Even a simple link to dan.drydog.com would help.

Re: public domain resources. I find the attitude of libraries about digitized public domain data to be very frustrating. See Wikipedia:Village pump#New York Public Library makes 275,000 images available; most are public domain to see how other 'pedians are treating the issue.

I deeply appreciate you digitizing and posting the Farquhar "Place Names of the High Sierra" book. I've already used that as a reference, and have cited to your site in several articles. Most importantly, I enjoy browsing the book just for fun.

I do have a request, which you may not be able to fill. Do you think you can add a photo of Galen Clark to the Wikipedia article? I especially like [2], but I have no idea what its copyright status is. [3] is quite nice, too. You can check out Wikipedia:Image copyright tags to see which category they fall into.

Thanks!!!! I'm really looking forward to collaborating with you on any Sierra articles you'd like to work on.

-- hike395 04:43, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Later --- I found that mav had already uploaded Image:Galen Clark in the Big Tree Grove.jpeg, claiming it was public domain. If this isn't right, please let mav know right away, so we can delete the image. -- hike395 05:01, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Joseph Nesbit LeConte?

Hi, Dan! Do you have any good material/photos of Joseph Nesbit LeConte? He may have not been old enough for a public domain photo. -- hike395 06:03, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

Copyright questions

I'm not really a copyright expert: I would ask these questions on Wikipedia Talk:Image copyright tags. -- 02:30, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

California WikiProject

Judging by your interests and edit, you may be interested in the California WikiProject and it's "child" Southern California WikiProject. Please take a look around both projects and see if there is anything that interests you. If you have any comments or questions, please contact me. BlankVerse ∅ 07:25, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanx for adding the info on Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego. I worked there as a student intern for a couple of years in the 70s and I think it changed names twice while I was there. The one name that I remember was NOSC (Naval Ocean System Center). ^Blank ^Verse 17:16, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

James G. Watt

hi -- I just took the image you uploaded off the Watt page, since it doesn't seem to exist. Can you check on it, and perhaps reupload it? thanks. bikeable (talk) 04:06, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The image does exist and I revererted your edits. Perhaps there were connection or web server problems when you looked at the article. Dananderson 18:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bandini

I've always thought that Arcadia Bandini de Stearns Baker deserved an article, as she was an important figure in early Southern California, Santa Monica in particular. I see you've been writing an article her father. Some of the same references may also serve for an Arcadia article - would it be an imposition to request one? Even a stub would be nice. Thanks for your contributions, cheers, -Will Beback 04:53, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jimbo

Hi Dan, If I learn of Jimbo coming back to San Diego, I'll definitely try to organize another Wiki meet-up, and I'll let you know. I believe their are occassional Wiki meet-ups in Los Angeles (without Jimbo), though I have never been to one. Johntex\^talk 20:27, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Duke Cunningham

Dan,
Blueboy96 changed the last sentence in the first paragraph of the political career section of the Duke Cunningham article. He changed from "the city was split into three districts" to "the city was split into two districts". I reverted most of his edits, but I dont know if this one also needs reverting. I am counting on you to know which is correct, as you live in SD. --Asbl 21:55, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This statement is true:

meaning that the San Diego area was represented entirely by Republicans for only the second time since the city was split into two districts after the 1960 census.

This state continued only until the next election in 1992, when Democrats Lynn Schenk and Bob Filner were elected after the 1990 census caused another district to be added. Dananderson 22:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dan,
Please check the Duke Cunningham article, as some anonymous user rewrote the Col Toon story, to a point where it does not make sense. I dont know how to correct it, other than revert (which I do not like to do, unless I am sure the contribution is wrong). --Asbl 20:40, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Bill_Morrow.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bill_Morrow.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see User talk:Carnildo/images. 16:10, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OrphanBot is vandalizing pages wholesale. Please stop. These images all have the proper tag, Template:PD-CAGov, meaning it's Public Domain as work of the State of California. Dananderson 17:59, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to blame someone, blame the guy who merged {{PD-CAGov}} with {{no source}}. OrphanBot's just doing what it's told. --Carnildo 19:19, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also would like to remind you to treat other editors with respect and civility. Re this edit, especially the part where you changed some other editor's words. -- Run e Welsh | ταλκ 19:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry--I was just pissed off by an out-of-control OrphanBot doing wholesale vandalism, and my inability to stop it while it continues its evil work. I just hope OrphanBot can undo it's vandalism of several hours work. Dananderson 19:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably easier if you contact an admin and ask them to revert OrphanBot's 500 most recent edits. I won't be able to add an "undo" functionality to OrphanBot until this evening. --Carnildo 19:40, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop referring to the actions of the bot as vandalism. They are not. This is a long-standing, fully authorized bot that performs needed functions on the wiki. The fact that someone redirected a template and has caused the bot to misbehave is not a good thing, and needs to be dealt with, but that does not in any way make the bot a vandalbot. I'm going to remove your notice on the vandalism alert board, as this is simply not vandalism. That is not to say that the person above who asked you to get an admin involved was incorrect. Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents is the more proper place to ask for the rollback you are requesting. I would again ask you to refrain from calling it vandalism or a vandalbot when you report it there, because the bot again is not at fault for this mess. Rather the person who messed up the copyright info template is at fault. - TexasAndroid 20:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Extate

Hello. Can you tell me, that mean word "extate"? You used it in "Arcadia Bandini de Stearns Baker". I'm very long searched does it word exist, I now found. Thanks. 85.206.100.220 20:43, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a typo—I meant to say estate.

There is no such word "extate" in English. It could also be extant (existence) or extent (jurisdiction) Dananderson 23:24, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. So I'll have to search it in other languages. 85.206.96.222 10:24, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Jose Antonio Estudillo painting.jpg

Are you sure this is José Antonio Estudillo? It doesn't look like him in the photo I found. In fact, it looks a lot like José Joaquin Estudillo (brother of José Antonio). See [4] for a picture of the latter. Regards, howcheng {chat} 22:34, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes this is José Antonio Estudillo--it's a portrait hanging in his former home in Old Town San Diego. The docents verified it was him. His brother lived somewhere in the San Francisco bay area, not in San Diego. Dananderson 17:03, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. You're right -- that photo does look like Jose G. Estudillo. I've removed it from the article and will chalk it up to a mistake by the Bancroft Library. howcheng {chat} 17:35, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wilderness Diarrhea Getting Killed

Dana:

Dunno, but it seems remotely possible you'd be interested in this. Wilderness Diarrhea is getting merged into Travelers Diarrhea by a couple of zealots who seem to have no concept of outdoor interests.

I get around a lot in the outdoors and rarely treat water, but WD article had some good stuff.

After a couple of weeks of calm discussion, I went ballistic and no longer want to participate. Rational voices might help.

These guys have irrationally convinced themselves that WD isn't a legitimate topic for a Wikipedia article.

I've pointed out several bomb-proof arguements to no avail. I'd say the strongest is the vast number of published articles that discuss WD as a separate concern from TD. They are both environmental health topics, and obviously the context of each are far different.

They simply ignore all this.

Replaceable fair use File:Thomas W Noe.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Thomas W Noe.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:20, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:As I See It.jpg

The file File:As I See It.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Decorative use of non-free cover art in J. Paul Getty#Kidnapping of grandson John Paul Getty III which lacks the context required by WP:NFCC#8. Non-free book covers such as these are generally allowed when they serve as the primary means of identification in the main infobox of at the top of a stand-alone article about the book in question, but their non-free use in other article tends to require a much stronger justification for non-free use per WP:NFC#cite_note-3. The book As I See It is mentioned by twice by name only throughout the article and there is no sourced critical commentary at all which discusses the book's cover so this use fails not only NFCC#8, but also Wp:NFCC#1.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Problems with Joseph Samuel Manasse page

I'm brand new to this, so wanted to check first before making any edits.

I noted 1 or 2 problems with this page:

I've seen the name spelled with two 'n's in other places. In particular, the (broken) link to sandiegohistory.org, if you roam around in the images, shows a picture with a caption, and they spell the last name Mannassee. Here's that link: https://sandiegohistory.org/journal/74summer/images/p55a.jpg
The broken link. It was useful in that I was able to find the images for that issue (74summer), but the text is not present, or at least not present without additional permissions.

I'm looking at this page because I'm proofing an article that Susan Hector wrote about him, and I noted that the spelling differs. In looking for the 1860 Census, I ran across his grave stone, which also spells with 2 'n's. <https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/88873098/joseph-s-mannasse>

My proposal would be to correct the spelling of the last name. I'm not sure how to correct the bad link to sandiegohistory.org. Andyvan92117 (talk) 02:53, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead. It was so long ago I forgot the details. As for bad links, that happens with the web, unfortunately. Sorry for the late reply Dananderson (talk) 06:28, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
