User talk:Hardnfast

Thanks for creating the Ashraf page. I have been waiting about a year for someone to start that page. Their are some subjects that I am just not willing to start the article myself. I don't mind editing though.

It's a small world, as I see we both also attended Fitchburg State College. I was a full time student their when the 102nd Field Artillery got the call to go to Ashraf and I got uprooted from school. I never made it back to that school, but I did love my time there. --JAYMEDINC 14:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

-Thanks for letting me know!

Hey I wanted to personally thank you for getting my user name blocked on Wikipedia. Unfortunately for you, it is really easy to get around these restrictive measures. So I will be around here, catch me if you can! --Leaveituptome6789 15:33, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

You reported me? How sad :( Makes me wonder, were you born with a sense of humor or did it just gradually erode with time? --Leaveituptome6789 17:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you so much for reporting me to the proper authorities. I am indeed a sockpuppet, sort of like Lampchops, just far more annoying. I would like to thank you for being such a vigilant Wikipedia'er without people like you, facts would go unchecked, and people like myself would ruin an open sourced free editing encyclopedia. See you when my ban is up! --LeaveituptomeHardnfast (talk) 13:29, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Greetings, Hardnfast. I see that you have added coordinates for two buildings I am very familiar with, One Financial Center and One Beacon Street, and for others in the area. What is your source of these coordinates? They disagree in a major way (as much as two full seconds!) with the FAA and FCC coordinates for radio masts on those two buildings' rooftops - as established with the help of GPS and surveying in at least the case of OFC. It looks as if the numbers you are publishing were obtained from Google Earth (or another program using a similar database), which has a notorious parallax problem with high buildings due to not looking straight down on these buildings. In any case, providing coordinates to two decimals (0.01) of an arcsecond suggests accuracy of about 1 foot, hard to justify unless obtained by actual survey with superior instrumentation. I hope you will not mind if I replace your coordinates for OFC and OBS with the well-established ones from the FAA/FCC database. Hertz1888 04:33, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

:Thanks for your quick & supportive response. I will make the changes. I'm sure you are not the only one who has been misled by Google Earth into accepting coordinates obtained by centering on highrise rooftops. Somewhat greater accuracy can be achieved by estimating the center of a building's footprint (most feasible when opposite corners are visible), but I would never trust the result to better than 0.1 arcsecond, if that much. I enjoyed viewing your impressive user page. We have more than a few interests and sympathies in common. (That doesn't include the cigars). Hertz1888 22:43, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

• Listen, I wouldn't add something unless it was true. --76.19.169.20 23:39, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with my new articles I just created. If you don't remember, check Justin Masterson, Tony Granadillo, and Gil Velazquez. Lets help it become a better article. Feel free to leave me a message at my talk page. PS. Those articles you edited, were created in less than 2 days.--RyRy5 (talk) 02:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

:Me too, I already created 4 articles about Red Sox players. 3 of them are listed above. The other one is Hunter Jones. I also completed the aticles that weren't created on the Red Sox roster. If you look below, there is now an article for all Red Sox players on this roster because I created the last 4, so I then got the BoSox Barnstar.--RyRy5 (talk) 19:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC){{Boston Red Sox roster}}

Hi - thanks for the message. I'm in the same boat as you - I'm not sure if there is a standard on this. I figured that it's just a bit more accurate to list him as a member of the team despite not having pitched since he remained on the roster (despite the Yankees asking him to accept a minor league contract - ugh). I'm not going to shed tears either way. I am trying to work my way through to update the Yankee roster and figured I should make at least one team conform. Either way, it's not a big deal for me. Maybe we're starting a new wikipedia policy... BWH76 (talk) 17:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

:Thanks for the response! I'll correct it on the Pavano page. BWH76 (talk) 15:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

:No problem, it was well deserved. I can't wait for the 2008 season either! :-)   jj137 (talk) 11:57, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Well it's about time you got the BoSox Barnstar. I was going to give you one, but Jj137 beat me ahead of time. I'm the official Red Sox WikiProject scout if you didn't know. My job is to search for more people to join the WikiProject and to see how everyone is helping out on the Project.

I was wondering if you would like to join the new section of the WP:SOX. Look at the Scouting Report section for more info. Ask me if you have any questions.--RyRy5 (talk) 02:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

:So, are you going to join the new scouting business? You can also check the Scouting Office for more info.--RyRy5 (talk) 03:27, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

If you want. A scouts job is to add reports to the homepage of the WP:SOX. You can also invite many people and add that to the reports section. Look at the Reports section on the homepage on for an example of what you are supposed to do. If you want to join, just add your name to the list above the reports section.--RyRy5 (talk) 00:10, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

:Sorry. I didn't see the new formatting on WP:SOX. The scouting report may have been deleted. I'll ask someone about this. I'll respond back whan I see what happened.--RyRy5 (talk) 15:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Im currently working to create OrBat graphics for all the Army National Guard divisions (i.e. 34th Infantry Division (United States)#Current Structure or 35th Infantry Division (United States)#Current Structure, but as the National Guard is currently restructuring it is extremly difficult to find the necessary information. As of now I have done my best and created the follwoing 5 graphics:

• 28th Infantry Division
• 29th Infantry Division
• 34th Infantry Division
• 35th Infantry Division
• 42nd Infantry Division

most likely there will be some errors - if you have the time and knowledge could you please have a look and check for errors and/or omissions? Thank you very much. Also I will work on the 36th, 38th and 40th Divisions over the week and do hope that you could have a look at the Army National Guard#Divisions list and check if they listed brigades are correct. Also if you have some information regarding the units of the brigades of the aforementioned 3 divisions, this would massively help me in my endeavor. thanks, --noclador (talk) 22:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

:: Hi thanks for your help - any info you can gather and give me does help. I keep an eye on the Army National Guard Divisions articles, so if you have some info just change the Divisions units listing here and I will quickly update the graphic. --noclador (talk) 21:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, please explain to me why you [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Camp_Bucca&diff=232097926&oldid=231987219 consider BBC material to be POV] — Jan Hofmann (talk) 18:22, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

:I don't deny that I have a POV on the issue, neither should you as a former U.S. soldier. However the U.S. government calls the invasion of Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom, we do not. Bush may the the world's most powerful man, but white isn't black only because he says it is. And don't get me started on the whole "illegal combatant" lingo, you know it's a disputed term as well as I. "prison camp" is the standard and neutral term for what Camp Bucca does. — Jan Hofmann (talk) 09:10, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Hi. I've nominated Kevin Youkilis to be a Featured Article. Since you may have interest, you may wish to contribute your view as to whether it should be a FA.
