Hey, what is the error that the ??? causes in the class argument? I've not seen a problem thus far. Cheers. -- Huntster T • @ • C 20:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

For your unerring dedication to getting WikiProject Tennessee off the ground and getting the articles properly tagged. Well done! -- Huntster T • @ • C 00:05, 7 May 2007 (UTC) |
Thank you, my first Wikipedia award. I appreciate it. doxTxob 02:22, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
I really appreciate your joining in the continuing struggle to keep inappropriate content out of wikipedia. But it would be particularly helpful if you could do it according to the usual conventions, since thats what admins look for in deciding to actually complete the deletion. When nominating for speedy, try to use one of the limited number or reasons, as listed at [[WP:CSD]] , using the appropriate template. A speedy should be obvious. If more of an explanation is needed, the best way is to use [[WP:PROD]] a method which automatically leads to deletion in 5 days if the page is not fixed. ( speedy leads to deletion in an hour or two if we can keep up with things) Even so, keep your comment brief and in few words, such as "non-notable Air Force captain", and , as you have been doing, explain on the article talk page. & for both prods and speedies, remember also to notify the user, using the template that appears on the speedy notice or the prod notice. I usually don't bother if they are just ip addresses.
For the specific articles you've tagged today, probably db-nn would have done for some of them.DGG 00:05, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
IF you look at the text youll find around 50 webites with the same info and the same format, much of this was taken from the wiki however i will re unikyfy this article, also, please check the hidden text in herman morris, its a train wreck done by his pr firm and incredibly biased
i took the picture and uploaded(and sent via email) to the campaign where it was put into flickr —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rankun (talk • contribs)
i did a reformat the info is still same but its biographical info(it needs to be in there) just a different format —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rankun (talk • contribs)
Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!
P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 07:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi DoxTxob. I just noticed that you have recently added an image of a mastodon skeleton, "Image:Masthodon angustidens.jpg", in a number of locations. Please be aware that Mastodon angustidens is a rather odd European species, with four tusks, and is not closely related to the North American mastodon, Mammut americanum. In fact, it looks quite different. For that reason, at least some of the placements are inappropriate. If it would help, I'd be willing to see if I can find an out-of-copyright American mastodon skeleton image. Tim Ross 09:52, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
It's good to hear from you, DoxTxob. In truth, I was an invertebrate paleontologist many years ago. This only give me rather limited expertise, I fear, in terms of old vertebrates, so you don't need to take my opinions with too much respect.
About your questions. Yes, I believe all of those images are Mammut sp. That means they're some species of mastodon, mostly, or even entirely M. americanum, the American Mastodon. Peale's version is definitely Mammut americanum. I, too, like both of those restorations, "Mastodon_color.jpg" and "BlankMastodon.jpg". The first one is, I think, the better image of the beast, but, as you note, has no visible hair. The second one certainly has hair, although it could pass for mink rather than elephant, but is otherwise too much like an Indian elephant. I would pick "Mastodon_color.jpg" as the best for most uses.
As promised, I've now uploaded a cleaned up version of Rembrandt Peale's mastodon skeleton: "SimplifiedPealeMastodon.jpg". It can probably be best titled "American Mastodon skelton", or something of the sort. Let me know if you want me to make the image replacements, or if you would rather do it.

I've been getting detailed mileage measurements off of TDOT's website. They have each "region" on an Excel spreadsheet that lists each county within that region and a list of all state routes within that county (both signed and unsigned). I don't remember what the link was to access the Pavement condition website off the top of my head but I can get you a direct link to Region 3 (Nashville) and Region 4 (Jackson) spreadsheets. Hover over the links to get the actual address.
TDOT Region 3 Pavement Condition Data
TDOT Region 4 Pavement Condition Data
Bear in mind, they track mileage down to the 100th's of a mile, and also include alot of other data with regards to the actual road surface. If I can find the link that provides data on all four region's I will post here. This is the only "online" source that I can find that gives detailed measurements.

Per your request I've been doing a little bit of peer review on SR 19. Below would be an example intersection list for this route--mileage is guesstimated on new junctions...notice 42.8 - there's so much info in the box that it bleeds over into the Notes section. I've got this problem on Tennessee State Route 3.

I created the image and placed it on the page. I hope it meets your expectations. -- Steven Williamson (HiB2Bornot2B) - talk ▓▒░ Go Big Blue! ░▒▓ 14:04, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey doxTxob, I was just thinking about some of the archiving with the Tennessee Project talk page. Would it be helpful to have a little box marking a section for needing archiving? I figured since you're the one that's been doing it likely not many will just up and archive it if they feel that it is finished and needs to be moved. Just an idea for something to help clean up old discussions from the talk page. I made a template User:Dan9186/Sandbox/reqarchive-talk to suggest and see what you thought. -- Dan9186(T • E • C) December 12, 2007 23:47 (UTC)
I like the idea! I move that to the TN project talk for discussion. doxTxob \ talk 21:51, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey, just a heads up, if you're gonna cut down an article by duplicating it in the way you described in this article, other editors prefer that you do it in your userspace so we don't have a hacked up page in the article space. When your done you can copy and paste or move it to articlespace.--CastAStone//₵₳$↑₳₴₮ʘ№€ 00:53, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey Dox, I noticed you were rating a number of TN articles, but why did you rate them all (at least the ones I noticed) as "low"? If it was just to get a rating on them, that's not a good idea...if no rating is present, at least someone can come around to give a proper one...now no one will really know. TBI, TWRA, UT, etc, should at least be Mid, if not High or Top. TBI...top, TWRA...mid, University of Tennessee system...high. Just curious as to your reasoning. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 16:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
There are two things I would like to add to this:
1 - You are right in one point, if I rate some article for quality or importance I rather rate them too low than too high, that makes sure that editors of articles which are completely underrated will complain about it. (That seems to work well, so far ...)
2 - I never change information on Wikipedia in an arbitrary fashion. My edits are not determined by chance, whim, or impulse, the are instead determined by necessity, reason or principle.
Take care, doxTxob \ talk 04:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Why did you withdraw the FL nomination. It's a great list, and deserves FL with a little work to the lead. Quite frankly, the list itself is better than some of the existing FL counties lists. Geraldk (talk) 03:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
