to your talk page.Dwight, I wanted to thank you for all the photos you've been adding. I wanted to suggest that, as you upload your images to Commons, you might consider making sure the categories you are using are reasonably specific, and feel free to create new categories if it seems appropriate. For example, you had 8 images from around Ypsi Twp, all put in "Category:Townships in the United States". I've gone ahead and created a category for Ypsi Twp, made it a subcategory of new category Townships in Michigan, making the latter a subcategory of Townships in the United States. In addition to making things tidier on Commons, that lets us use {{Commonscat}} (see ) to link to that category. Thanks for the great photos, and please let me know if you have any questions! cmadler (talk) 18:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Creating categories is easy. It works the same on Commons and on Wikipedia, and it's basically the same as creating a new article. Really the hardest part is the first step, which is deciding whether you need a new category and if so, what it should be called. Take the case of the Ypsi Twp photos on Commons. There were enough photos (and the potential for many more) that I decided it made sense to make a category. I thought about calling it "Category:Ypsilanti Township, Washtenaw County, Michigan", which I think is how the Superior Twp category is named. But I'm fairly confident that there's only just the one Ypsilanti Township, so I decided to call it "Category:Ypsilanti Township, Michigan". Then put the first image into the category, by typing [[Category:Ypsilanti Township, Michigan]]. This will work if it's anywhere on the page, but customarily it goes at the very bottom of everything. After you save that edit, if the category doesn't yet exist you will get a red link. (If you don't get a red link, it means that category already exists -- make sure it's really want you want and not something else that shares the same name.) Click on the red link and, just as with a Wikipedia article, you will invited to create the page, which in this case is a category. For categories, just put a very brief description on it so anyone looking at it knows what it is (I usually just take the intro to the Wikipedia article on that topic) and then put it into at least one higher-level category. Sometimes you have to create a category structure as you go, as I did (rather than putting my new Category:Ypsilanti Township, Michigan right into Category:Townships in the United States, I put it into Category:Townships in Michigan, which was then also a red link and I had to in turn create that within the US category). I hope that was clear; it really is a simple process, and sometimes the simplest processes can be the hardest to explain. For more information on categories (probably more than you will ever want to know), you could consult Wikipedia:Categorization, Help:Category, and Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization. I'm sure similar pages exist on Commons too, but again, the process is exactly the same. Let me know if that doesn't make sense or if part of what I wrote is unclear. Thanks, cmadler (talk) 19:54, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for contributing the Brighton Airport article. In response to your question on my personal page, WikiProject Aviation uses 6 criteria for assessment of aviation related articles. My assessment of your article is based on those criteria. I agree with you that criteria number 5 is met; the remaining ones, however, are not. If I can assist in explaining the rating criteria further, please contact me on my talk page. Cheers - Canglesea (talk) 06:42, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I'm sorry if I caused you any offence by replacing the JPG file with a PNG. Over the last couple of days I've been working through the backlog of JPG files tagged for replacing with PNG files. I looked through the Gallery of new files and saw the Altarum Institute logo and decided to re-upload it as a PNG. I meant no disrespect towards you. Hugahoody (talk) 17:45, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
The article is a business stub, and moving the picture to a more appropriate section of the page formats the article in a manner that is similar to other business stub pages i.e.:Walmart or General_Electric or Microsoft. The picture at the top of the page also shifts the entire top portion over to the right without word wrapping on larger monitors, forcing the contents box to float in the middle of the screen appearing awkward and out of place. The consistency of the formatting of the article is more important than the location of the picture

Most projects have bots which pick up likely new articles. The aviation one is at:-
You wrote that you had assessed your own article as start class. Don't get annoyed if an editor doesn't give your articles the rating you think they deserve, everything is fluid in Wikipedia, not set in stone. Having said that, I would rate the Brighton airport article as a stub too, as there is just not enough content to justify it as start clas. Now, as you improve and add to the article it can be re-assessed, you can even ask directly for an article to be reviewed by peers who will give constructive criticism to the author rather than just editting the article.
Just add this to the main project banner on the talk page:- |peer-review=y
Many editors/authors starting on Wikipedia fell that they are being picked on. Do not despair, it is just the nature of the beast that editors will wade in and edit artivcles without the original authors permission, as they are entitled to do. If you don't like what was done converse with the editor on his talk page, but don't expect an instant answer, it may be days or weeks before the editor logs on again.
You also mentioned on my user page, (should have been on my talk page), that I had opened talk pages for some of your articles but I cannot for the life of me remember which/ Do you want me to have a look at the article sfor you, as an informal peer review? if you do just post a link on my User talk page.Petebutt (talk) 13:55, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

I am not really on Facebook, but I had the impression I did not find you there when Bev looked at it recently. The last place in the world where I thought I'd find you is here, but looking at it in hindsight it makes perfect sense! More sense than any perception of reality we think we grasp in our minds. I just read your bio milestones and realized that even though I know you (or knew you) pretty well in person, there are many of your bio details I was not really familiar with. I don't believe you're still in Ypsi, where I last had contact with you, but I may be wrong. Good to see you here at least and noticing that our intellectual and political views seem to be still in sync. Hope you're doing well, and it is actually a pleasure to meet you again here. warshytalk 19:56, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Dwight ... The Warner Homestead is among the recent listings published last Friday by the NPS. Unfortunately, it's not terribly unusual for the weekly announcements to have inaccurate address information. I came up with the geocode coords by plugging the address into Google Earth. You might try contacting the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office or a local historical society (perhaps the Howell Area Historical Society?) to see if they can shed any light. --sanfranman59 (talk) 19:25, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Haab's Exterior Sign.JPG, which you've sourced to (poster). I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

Just wondering if you happen to have any photos of the "Nightmare Cruise" from the Ypsi Heritage Festival? I've re-created the Ypsilanti Heritage Festival article and submitted it to "Did You Know?" with a proposed hook about the Nightmare Cruise, and a photo would really help it out.

Hey, I noticed you moved the photo that I added to that page downwards. I realize that you are the author of the original photo and are invested in its placement in the article. However, I think that the one that I added more clearly shows the Enterprise location by showing the logo on the building very clearly both in the full-size photo and, more importantly to the casual reader, in the article thumbnail. I was hoping we could work together to come to some consensus about this. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 22:04, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

According to WP:NOTNEWSPAPER : "News reports. Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia. While including information on recent developments is sometimes appropriate, breaking news should not be emphasized or otherwise treated differently from other information. Timely news subjects not suitable for Wikipedia may be suitable for our sister project Wikinews. See also: Wikipedia:Notability (events)."
Newt Gingrich's comments about Romney and his comparison to Leonard Wood have no enduring significance what so ever, particularly to Leonard Wood's legacy. The spike in views is temporary. That's what I originally deleted it and that's what I just deleted it again. If you want to readd it, take it to the admin.
To keep adding this quote to wikipedia in the middle of an electoral campaign is overtly political and tarnishes the already imperfect reputation of wikipedia.David Straub (talk) 23:16, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
The article Mattress World of Michigan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. TheLongTone (talk) 18:07, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
See WP:BRD, which stands for Bold, Revert, Discuss. You were bold in adding the link, I reverted you. Your next move should not have been to revert my reversion; your move should have been to open a discussion on the article's talk page. In short, I don't think that the link is appropriate. Frains Lake Road isn't notable, so it doesn't warrant an article. That it connects to Frains Lake, Michigan doesn't even warrant a link from M-153's article, in my opinion. I could rewrite that sentence to eliminate the mention of the road without altering the key description of the routing of M-153. The curve in the road isn't even next to Frains Lake, nor is M-153 adjacent to the community, so if copy edited, any mention of Frains Lake would be obliviated.
The article you created is borderline on the notability question, so I'm proposing that it be merged into its township article. (See the discussion I'm opening on the issue for more details. In the future though, if you have an issue with an edit of yours that is reverted, please discuss it. Reverting the reversion is called "edit warring", and if carried to excess can subject editors to a block. Imzadi 1979 → 05:35, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
If you want to see what I had in mind, I put together a sandbox of how I'd merge the three articles together. In the end, your work is preserved, the Superior Township article actually gets a bit more substantial, and it gains more than a dry recitation of geographic and demographic statistics. The sandbox is at User:Imzadi1979/Superior Township. I think only one sentence of your work is not reused at the moment, and one paragraph is noted for a possible split into another article completely. Imzadi 1979 → 07:33, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Dwight,
I was told you are the most active Wikipedian photographer in Metro Detroit. Do you go into Hamtramck much? If not, do you know anybody who does? I ask because a Polish editor had translated Hamtramck Public Schools and he wants photos for the article. Are you interested in photographing the district headquarters and the schools, including Hamtramck High?
