Greetings!

Welcome to Wikipedia. You might find the National Register of Historic Places WikiProject of interest. Happy editing. :) --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - General Health ‖ 17:25, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ebyabe. Thanks for the welcome. The WikiProject looks very good. Definitely am interested in collaborating in any way I can. :) NYCWikiKid (talk) 19:35, 27 July 2013 (UTC)NYCWikiKidNYCWikiKid (talk) 19:35, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome - but I dont think we need to see List of Armories everywhere

Hi, welcome to wikipedia. I see you're adding list of armories to many (all?) of the list of registered historic places. Armories are fine, but we dont need it on every page, especially under See Also, a section which should be minimal for most articles. Just my opinion. dm (talk) 18:32, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for cleaning that up a bit. I looked at List of Armories in NYC and surrounding NY State counties It stikes me that putting into a table format could be useful. Please let me know if I can help. dm (talk) 19:10, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for the welcome and the assist Dmadeo. I completely understood what you meant in that the armories represent a specific type of structure, while the landmarks view all types that are registered. A little new to organizing here on Wiki. Hopefully I can get the hand of it. And I appreciate whatever help you can provide. You have my assistance as well.

I took the liberty of reformatting this page a bit for you. This is a bit rude to do, but I hoped you'd forgive me if I showed you how most people use the Colon to indent their replies. You can also use an asterix like I did with this line. The links above give a lot of good information for a new user. Most of us want to help new users get their bearings so dont get too worried, just ask. You might need to see this in "edit source" mode to get what I'm talking about. Personally, I find editing in "edit source" mode much easier than the visual editor, your mileage may vary. dm (talk) 06:30, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks D. I am reading through as much info as possible and doing test runs to practice. I am glad that there is collaborative effort and much support on the site. Thumbs up. NYCWikiKid (talk) 16:22, 28 July 2013 (UTC)NYCWikiKidNYCWikiKid (talk) 16:22, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You should probably copy the article to your userspace while you decide on whether you want it to end up in the bullet style or in table form - having both in the public article is confusing to the reader. When you've finished tinkering, just copy the article from your userspace to article space, or ask an admin to move it for you. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:20, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Beyond My Ken. Thanks for providing very useful help. I appreciate it. I'm actually intending on having the two parts be separate in that the first is more of an index while the second is an illustration. Hopefully some pictures can be put up of all the facilities. Let me know what you think. NYCWikiKid (talk) 05:50, 29 July 2013 (UTC)NYCWikiKidNYCWikiKid (talk) 05:50, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And while you're at it ...

For one thing, the article title should follow policy. To wit, "NYC" should be spelled out so it's List of armories in New York City.

For another, I think you'd be better off doing two lists: one for the city and another for all the other counties in the state, regardless of whether they're near the city or not. We just don't do geographic subdivisions like that without a very good reason (and I don't see one here). Daniel Case (talk) 02:33, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To begin...Hi. Glad for your interest. To shed light, Daniel Case, when the original article was submitted, it was spelled out with New York City, written as: List of Armories and Arsenals in New York City and surrounding New York State Counties; as it is shown within the article. I believe it was acronymed and streamlined to make it easier to fit. Second, the list was made to address the armories within mainly what is considered the NY State part of the Metropolitan Area or "Downstate New York" region. Before you jump the gun, I am studying the possibility of placing a counterpart list which addresses all other armories in the state or the formal "Upstate New York". Two regions makes for two lists. They will eventually be placed under one umbrella list of New York State armories. Hope that alleviates your steadfast concerns. Cheers.

Two quick notes

Hi:

In section titles, only the first word and any proper nouns should be capitalized, so it's "See also" not "See Also", "External links" not "External Links", "Life and career" not "Life and Career"

Do not use an ampersand (&) in text to mean "and" (unless it specifically appears in a proper name), always use "and".

Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:42, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BMK, Thanks for the heads up. As you may have experienced along the way, Wiki has an enormous amount of information to learn. I am trying my best to pick up things along the way and do as much reading as possible. Really appreciate the pointers. NYCWikiKid (talk) 23:21, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're doing great, keep it up. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:05, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks BMK!

Disambiguation link notification for August 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michael J. Garvin, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Melrose and Beaux-Arts (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi DPL. Thanks for letting me know. Doing a lot of writing and editing at the same time lends itself to missing editing details like those. I just fixed it. If you or anyone else sees something in addition, just make me aware. All the help is appreciated. NYCWikiKid (talk) 18:03, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FYI That was a bot talking to you, not a person. dm (talk) 22:24, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Dmadeo! That is too funny. Who knew bots could speak. :) NYCWikiKid (talk) 23:46, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Michael A. Carroll Stadium.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Michael A. Carroll Stadium.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.

Soccer Bowls

Awesome that you got so many of these pages up! Good work, I'll gladly help to expand them wherever I can. A word of note though, Alan Ball was NOT the man of the match of Soccer Bowl '79. He was the 1979 playoffs MVP, which is not the same. If you view the SB '79 video, you'll see that an offensive and defensive MoM was selected. If memory serves, Trevor Wymark was offensive MoM, with 2 goals. I'll watch the video again to see who the defensive MoM was. I'm pretty sure this may be the case with several other SBs of that time frame too. To differentiate playoff MVPs from Finals MoMs (and when they did this), you'd need to view the videos or find newspaper stories from each year to confirm. Anyway great job, Cheers! Creativewill (talk) 17:02, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome. I'll probably start by dropping in all the basic box scores in that I did for the NASL Season pages. Then maybe a few uniform kits like Soccer'78 has. The rest will depend completely on how much detail I can find about any given match or series (i.e. starting IX, subs used, available subs, yellow cards, etc.), not to mention free time. I'm sure fans of any particular team will help fill in the blanks. Talk soon.Creativewill (talk) 21:50, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at the 1972 finals page additions. Any idea how to get a white cuff and collar on a kit with stripes? :-) that's what St Louis jersey looked like. I've looked at hundreds of kits all over wikipedia. All the ones w/white collars have solid colored shirts. hmph. -Creativewill (talk) 17:32, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but the Colorado kit won't help. Both SB teams have the correct collar shape for that game. StL just happens to have had a white boarder on theirs and on the cuff as well. Minor detail, but it bugs me nevertheless -Creativewill (talk) 19:16, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No worries on "club" fix. Man o'man, it's hard to find color images of some of the kits in the finals... and then create them! i'm quiting for today after i finish '77. Creativewill (talk) 17:49, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kudos, writing recaps of some of these matches is my real dread. I found the USA 1967 Finals video on youtube. Btw, an absolutely WILD match! Well worth watching. I linked it to the kits as a reference, so that no one would/could question my sources. Cheers -Creativewill (talk) 03:12, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
