Hi Gerald. I just updated the membership # in the article based on the current About GCN page and also based on a post made by one of the admins, who gave an even higher number. I cited both numbers, but I'm not sure whether those citations will be sufficient. Take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks!

Revision as of 02:46, 1 January 2011
NOTE: Older user discussion threads dating before December 6, 2010 have been archived.
Are you back?
Hello, your user page says you are "on leave" but I noticed a few edits recently. Hope you are back. I did have a question. Back about six and a half years ago, you uploaded a fair number of pictures that have been migrated into commons. Many are missing source and copyright information. So far they seem to have escaped notice, but some day they might go away. The copyright enforcement was more ad-hoc in the old days. For example, File:Kalakauapainting.jpg looks like a modern painting from the old picture. It says "Hawaii State Archives official painting" in the upload comment, but that would make it copyright the state, not public domain I would think. Do we know for sure the copyright holder died before 1940? Do you remember the actual sources for these? Thanks for any help. W Nowicki (talk) 22:42, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has changed a lot through the years. Nothing like what I was playing around with in high school. I think it would be safe to just discard all of those pieces and hope someone comes up with better material that's more accurately sourced. Knowing how many people are on this thing, it would be in no time that better material gets loaded onto the site. Gerald Farinas (talk) 02:21, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Well the articles have changed but alas, many of the old pictures are still there, and as a moderate non-deletionist I am reluctant to spend time going through the deletion process. Although Wikipedia itself has many editors, it has actually not grown in terms of contributors for many years (probably due to the many blogs, facebooks and twitter etc.). In particular, there seem to be just three or four people who work on Hawaiian history off and on. So you might suprised at how slowly it changes (although a flurry of activity now, presumably because school is out). There does seem to be much activity in pop singers and other parts of the world, but history is somewhat neglected.
By the way, I lived in the Chicago area a while back, so happen to be working on some political history there right now. See {{McCormick Chicago family tree}} and {{Medill Chicago family tree}} for example. I had to split into two because there are so many, but they still need tons of work. My brother still lives there, the last employee of Santa Fe. W Nowicki (talk) 18:22, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
GCN
Hi Gerald. I just updated the membership # in the article based on the current About GCN page and also based on a post made by one of the admins, who gave an even higher number. I cited both numbers, but I'm not sure whether those citations will be sufficient. Take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks! Aristophanes68 (talk) 08:21, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
