- WP:OTRS is the "back office" system for dealing with stuff not 100% suitable for public wiki treatment, either for privacy or identity vouching reasons. Notable examples are release of copyright by email, BLP issues and suicide/death/bomb threats etc. found on-wiki. Rich Farmbrough, 18:03, 6 May 2011 (UTC).
- Yes he can certainly request it.... See my comments at the AfD.Rich Farmbrough, 18:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC).
- It shouldn't. BLP allows the closer of an AfD to take the subject's wishes into account if the notability criteria is "ambiguous", even then the weight of those wishes is at the closer's discretion. OTRS are usually pretty good at identity I beleive. But that is moot in my opinion. Rich Farmbrough, 18:27, 6 May 2011 (UTC).

Bob Dylan
editHi Wikilrsc, I apologise if my edit seemed rude. I acknowledge that you have been editing since 2005, you've made 11,000 edits, and have a v good track record, and it was a WP:GF edit. I have also been editing since 2005, I've made less edits than you - probably around 5,500 - but I have focused my attention on Bob Dylan and associated articles. I've received 4 barnstars and 3 WP:FA barnstars, so I take editing seriously, and I enjoy collaborating with other editors. I should not have been so peremptory. What I meant to convey was: there has been repeated pressure on the Bob Dylan article by editors & administrators who believe the article is too long; several times a shortening of this WP:FA article has been requested when it went through 3 WP:FAR reviews.
I believe it is unnecessary to have a section called Further Reading, when the References already list 20 biographies and scholarly books about Dylan. I confess I have not read Yaffe's book. I have read reviews which indicate that it is OK, it's not ground-breakingly brilliant, and it's not terrible. But do we need a Further Reading section? As someone who has read a lot of books on Dylan, and written a lot of articles about Dylan (my published articles are here[1]), I would query whether Yaffe's book is more significant than Heylin's Behind The Shades, Shelton's No Direction Home, Sounes's Down The Highway, or Gray's The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia which are just 4 highly regarded books on Dylan. Isis magazine, a Dylan magazine, estimates that in 2011, the year of Dylan's 70th birthday, at least 50 serious book on Dylan have been published. The WP article cannot mention them all.
One way forward might be to launch a new section on the Talk page of Bob Dylan, entitled "Further Reading?" This would ask the editors of this page if they support a Further Reading section. I would contribute my opinion that it is unnecessary, based on the argument that some editors/administrators have complained that the Dylan article is already too long. And that the most highly regarded Dylan books are already listed in the Reference section. I agree that, as you write, "the Wikipedia community owns the article, not one gatekeeper or editor". I would be happy to abide by a consensus on the Further Reading issue - as it emerges on the Talk page. best wishes Mick gold (talk) 14:49, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply, Bob. My opinion is that books will get cited in major WP articles when they contribute something important, either in factual knowledge, or in interpretation. In this way, the significance of a book will be conveyed by a serious WP article. imho Heylin's biography and Sounes's biography undertook serious research and get cited where they shed light on mysterious episodes in Dylan's career, eg the motorcycle accident, his Christian phase, his second marriage. I think Wilentz's book has 2 brilliant chapters, one on Dylan's relationship with the Beat authors, the other on Blonde on Blonde. I am currently trying to improve the WP Blonde on Blonde article and have cited Wilentz several times. In this way, I suspect Yaffe's book will also appear in WP Dylan articles, as his insights & achievements are recongnised. best wishes Mick gold (talk) 16:43, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

MBTA photographs
editHey, I've noticed the pictures you've been uploading of MBTA stations. Since you're uploading free-use images, I'd like to encourage you to uploaded them to Wikimedia Commons (commons.wikimedia.org) instead. It works much the same way as uploading images on Wikipedia, only it allows images to be used on Wikipedia projects in all languages. You can go to Wikipedia:Unified login to make your Wikipedia login work on Commons and all other Wikipedia projects.
Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:16, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
- I just moved your Park Street, South Station, and three Braintree pictures to Commons using a semi-automated tool They have the same names there. The local versions here on en.wikipedia will probably be deleted by an admin within the next few days and they'll be automatically replaced in the articles by the Commons versions.
- Good catch on the South Station plaque, by the way. I'd been meaning to grab a picture but I was last in there during the Thanksgiving rush. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 03:11, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- A lot of the old plaques lying around the system are pretty neat. They've put them in on most every new station starting with the Haymarket North Extension; I've noted them at Ruggles, Back Bay, Airport, and Oak Grove among other places. There's also a 1904 plaque at State and a 1959 one at Riverside. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 15:43, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- I've never heard of such a listing, though I've just started a personal document of them that I'll update as I see more. I'm also trying to compile a listing of the remaining old-style tile signs. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:22, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- No worries; it doesn't take too long to transfer. I do recommend you do unified login, though, as it's real quick. If no one is using your username on other wikis - and I doubt anyone is - it takes less than 2 minutes. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 14:43, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- Excellent, glad to see it. A couple of tips: When uploading images at Commons, they need to have categories. Categories are the primary method of sorting at Commons, and they're more crucial than on Wikipedia. Most of the major subway stations have enough pictures to have categories of their own, as do about half the commuter rail stations. There are also categories for the various rolling stock. This page of mine is a good place to start.
- Second, a minor thing. The standard for images you took yourself is to use {{own}} in the |source= field. This is used to automatically sort the image into Category:Self-published work. You might want to bookmark this link which leads to an upload form with the template already in place.
- That forgotten Boston page is very neat. This archived page has similar goodies about a bunch of the downtown stations. I've spotted a handful of them myself. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:35, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
After uploading a couple more today, I started commons:Category:MBTA dedication plaques. I've got a shot of the one at Airport buried somewhere in my SD cards. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 02:59, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

There was a symposium on Abele in Philadelphia about 10 years ago. One of the goals was to try to suss out what of Trumbauer's oeuvre was his own, and what should be credited to Abele and others. Trumbauer paid for Abele's travel in Europe, and Abele may have studied privately with architects associated with the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, but there is no documentation that he ever was enrolled there. One panelist checked the Ecole's records, which do not list Abele. And he certainly couldn't have graduated from a school he never attended. The panelist also noted that Abele, in his application for admission into the AIA, listed nothing about the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. I'm sure you're working with the best of intentions, but perpetuating errors is helpful to no one. -- BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 15:48, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
- Bob -- Sandra Tatman, now director of the Athenaeum of Philadelphia, seems to be the authority on Abele. According to her research, Abele never was enrolled at the Ecole, but she allows that he might have been granted permission to sit in on classes there.
- I'm not sure how reliable the U of PA Archives' online info is. I recently created a page for the architect Robert Rodes McGoodwin, who designed the Furness Library addition on the west side of the Fisher Fine Arts Library. The Archives is located IN THAT BUILDING, yet they erroneously credit McGoodwin with the Lea Library addition on the east side.
- The advocates for Abele probably have gone a bit overboard. At the symposium 10 years ago, an architectural historian from Duke tried to argue that all Trumbauer's buildings were designed by architects in his office, rather than him. When asked for evidence of this, he could provide none. -- BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 13:52, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
