The brown building in the foreground to the left, the one you barely see, that is the [[Royal Swedish Opera]]. The red building with the central tower that you are probably thinking about is [[Saint Jacob's Church]]. (I tried first to link to [[Church of Saint Jacob]], but that turned out to be a church in Slovenia.) --[[User:Hegvald|Hegvald]] ([[User talk:Hegvald|talk]]) 19:10, 4 July 2008 (UTC) |

DYK
Mmmhelloooo (sorry, I saw the "How you be durrin?" and couldn't help it). Thanks for your comments on the Dupont Circle article; I'm definitely going to need help with some of the sources. I'm going to go through and add {{fact}} tags to information that I think is true but for which I cannot find a source. (I know we're supposed to remove "I think I've heard it somewhere" information, but I think when an article is undergoing a major overhaul it's a good time to implement WP:IGNORE).
As for the fountain and historic district, I'm not sure if those need separate articles, at least not yet. Reason being is that most of the info about the historic district is about just about architecture, which would fit nicely into that section... and I'm not sure that an article on the fountain would be more than a few paragraphs (at most). Of course, if there's a source that has a plethora of information about the fountain, then that could change things.
One additional comment (sort of unrelated): I've done a good deal of work to the main Washington, D.C. article and nominated it for GA status. Nobody's undertaken a review yet, so I'd appreciate if you think there are any glaring errors or omissions. Thank you! Best, epicAdam (talk) 13:28, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the input. I think we can make Dupont a great article. It will just take some time to find the best sources (there are alot of them). APK PRAISE JEEBUS 13:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Titanic Memorial restored
Done. Dlohcierekim 18:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
I added content lest it be deleted again. Dlohcierekim 18:38, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I had just moved the article's original content and then it got slapped with a speedy. APK PRAISE JEEBUS 20:53, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Advice on DYK
Hey APK, I've been writing a new article on The Voice of the Turtle (play) in my sandbox, and I think it might be a candidate for DYK. I've never nominated an article for that before, and I know you have a ton of them, so I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look at it, just to see if you can spot any potential problems before I move it into the mainspace. I've been going back and forth on a few things (ex. saying "9th longest-running non-musical" or "9th longest-running play"), and I'm still trying to find a good article to link to for "East Sixties" (I know nothing about New York) but I'm more or less finished with it for the time being. I'm still trying to come up with a tag idea... right now I'm thinking about doing something that mentions the lengthy run and/or the scripture reference in the show's title. Anyway, thanks for the help! —MearsMan talk 19:33, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yay, it's MearsMan! Hope your summer is going well. Anyway, a few suggestions for the article: 1) Don't wikilink words such as apartment, married, date, hotel, etc. It's unncessary because people already know what these words mean. 2) Reference the synopsis section. 3) I would say "9th longest-running play". It looks like a good article and for a hook suggestion, um, I would suggest: "Did you know that the Voice of the Turtle was the 9th longest-running play on Broadway?" or "Did you know that the Broadway play The Voice of the Turtle was adapted into a film starring Ronald Reagan?" I hope that helps. APK PRAISE JEEBUS 21:51, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Told ya I'd get around to it
I also took pics of Tyler Hall (the building called "adjoining hospital" in the oldy-old picture) and some unknown old building to the left of Leonard Hall (well, I was parked there, so I thought I would take everything I could). I also have the following buildings if you need them. Let me know, and I'll upload them:
- NC Natural History Museum
- NC State History Museum
- NC Legislature Building (not the Capitol, but that funky 1960's looking one)
- The new RBC Skyscraper under construction, with the Capitol in the foreground
- Some pics of a few exhibits in the Natural History Museum
If you've got any more you need done, let me know. Maybe sometime in the next few months I'll pick them off... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 01:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- I've been in a picture-taking mood as well. Look at my recent contributions. The Legislature Building is a NRHP that doesn't have an article, so a pic will come in handy if you can upload it. I can write one for the RBC building if you'll upload that as well. Aww hell, go ahead and upload the ones you listed. I can use all of them. Gracias. APK PRAISE JEEBUS 01:19, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words
I'm emotionally unable to do anything but answer condolence messages, but wanted to let you know that your words gave me strength, and somehow I will get through this. Isaac and I were together 16 years, and legally a couple for 11. He was the light of my life. Now all I have is my work to sustain me. That will have to be enough. With love, Jeffpw (talk) 05:52, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
I read that you are ill
Please get well soon, and I am sending my (reserve) energy your way to wish you a speedy recovery. Jeffpw (talk) 15:46, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Dude, get better. That's an order! Peace. — Becks Talk to me 02:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Some observations
Earlier this year comments were made here regarding the relationship between yourself and your father and its impact on the formation of your sexuality. Those comments should not have been made.
You have acted wisely in distancing yourself from the LGBT project. Their activity is agenda-driven with an aim to modifying their own self-image and the conceptual identification of LGBT issues among the readership. As such the project suffers a collective dysfunction and is inherently dishonest.
You would do well to continue to distance yourself from a certain no-longer-active pseudo-Photojournalist whom you have blindly supported in the past. Though you had given him special recognition as late as the day before his breakdown and departure, the absence of any comment from you on the Appreciation protest section of his talk page is conspicuous and has been noted.
This pseudo-Photojournalist along with a certain Prostitute from Eastern Europe recently uploaded and inserted into various articles on WP a series of gay pornographic images from the prostitute's studio. This action provoked strong reactions from certain quarters, including charges of pedophilia and the making of pornography available to minors. Once charges like this have been leveled, whether genuine or fabricated, from the right or from the left, or made calmly or hysterically, certain Federal Investigative Bodies will closely, very closely, watch all the actors involved.
The pseudo-Photojournalist's association and alignment with a certain "resting" former admin, a compulsive and pathological liar who can be identified by her eligibility to obtain a ten-cent deposit for the return of her eyeglasses, may buy him some immediate "airtime" but will purchase him neither immunity nor credibility in the long run. Their recent jointly-launched smokescreen will eventually dissipate, and their fraud will be fully revealed in time.
All the actors involved will be under the scrutiny of certain Federal Investigative Bodies for a long, long time to come. Far be it for anybody with any sense to interfere with or become entangled in their work, even if there exists a need for serious redress of any grievances. As investigations such as these can be quite protracted affairs, persons seeking redress of grievances with any of these actors might abide by a sort of tacit creed, which could hold, in part: "We are patient; we will wait for our time. We will never forget."

DYK - Michael Jackson
Hi buddy, I would like to do a DYK for Michael Jackson's 50th birthday on August 29. I've never done one before and I would really appreciate your help. Luckily he is releasing a compilation album on his birthday, King of Pop (album), so that would be nice to talk about. I understand you are ill at the moment, I hope you get better soon, get back to me in your own time, there is no rush. Wishing you the best. Regards. — Realist2 (Who's Bad?) 19:34, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- Please forgive my presumptuous response to a question posed to someone else, but I believe that showing the notability of Jackson’s 50th birthday would be a difficult task. Such an article might soon be deleted. If the celebration(s) receive/s more than cursory mention in the press, perhaps it might survive but I would not bet on it. - House of Scandal (talk) 19:46, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't interpret Realist2's post to mean that he wants to create an article about Jackson's 50th birthday, but instead about something related to him (such as a new album), in honor of his birthday. I may be incorrect, of course. Aleta Sing 19:51, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- One would think....but King of Pop (album) is already an article. - House of Scandal (talk) 19:53, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Im completely unaware of the process, I never imagined notability was a decider, maybe the 25th anniversary of Thriller (Thriller 25, which has already passed) would have been better, that got a lot of attention. Darn. I dont think I would be able to make an entire article on his 50th birthday unless some really amazing stuff is announced soon. Maybe just doing it on King of Pop (album) which is released on his birthday to celebrate his birthday. It has some notability outside of the birthday issue because its one of/the only album where all tracks are voted for by fans. — Realist2 (Who's Bad?) 19:58, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- Notability is a decider of whether any article exists or not. It's nothing specific to DYK. There is a rule that DYK's must be no more than 5 days old. Well, it's more of a guideline. Articles that are "slightly past their expiration date" have been used for holidays (Passover, St. Patrick's Day, etc.). The DYK editors might be less interested in letting King of Pop (album) counter guidelines for Jackson's b-day, but I don't suppose there's any harm in trying. - House of Scandal (talk) 20:07, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- If a suitable topic were chosen, Realist could always work on it in his sandbox and then move it to mainspace within the five days before MJ's b'day. Aleta Sing 20:10, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- It might be helpful to browse the DYK page, see the conversation that goes on there, and read the rules. Best wishes! - House of Scandal (talk) 20:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Ah I see, thats a wierd guideline, it must be really hard to build an article to be viewed in 5 days lol. I think its worth a shot anyway, "Did you know its MJ'S 50th today?" sounds cool, but thats just my bias lol. Maybe he will announce something else aswell which I could work on in my sandbox like suggested. I would still be interested to hear APK's view. I definately think MJ's birthday will be reported worldwide, its already being talked about in newspapers like The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian. — Realist2 (Who's Bad?) 20:17, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
a comment
Ur talk page currently includes a header saying u have some health issues, i hope u get better soon.
Actually i visit to give u some feedback, for u to take or leave as u like. On a couple occasions i have hesitated to give u a comment on your talk page, or to respond to an inquiry elsewhere like your "Kappa House" inquiry at wt:NRHP where i had "good stuff" to contribute, because the adjacent discussion, or your signature which now shows "APK PRAISE JEEBUS", was difficult for me to process. I do not want to align myself for or against various sides on various issues. As you know, i focus on historic sites. I don't really want to get involved in political or religious issues in wikipedia editing, especially as wikipedia edits live forever, and my positions might change but my words would come back to haunt me. So, a couple times, it has caused gaps in my occasional correspondence with you. I am not asking you to change your displays that seem to have political overtones, but i just want to let you know it complicates and reduces my interactions with you about historic sites and their presentation in wikipedia. I hope this is helpful to you to know. doncram (talk) 00:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Stockholm building
Cocerning the picture you asked about on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sweden:
The brown building in the foreground to the left, the one you barely see, that is the Royal Swedish Opera. The red building with the central tower that you are probably thinking about is Saint Jacob's Church. (I tried first to link to Church of Saint Jacob, but that turned out to be a church in Slovenia.) --Hegvald (talk) 19:10, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
