Rollback granted
Hello Charles Edward,
After reviewing your request on WP:RFPERM, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback may be removed at any time.
If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing!

French and Iroquois Wars & Old Jeffersonville Historic District
I went ahead an gave French and Iroquois Wars a weak B; you could use some more paragraph ending cites. Do you think you could go over to Talk:Old Jeffersonville Historic District and see if you can work any magic in getting this into a GA?--Gen. Bedford his Forest 21:48, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'd be glad to! And I am hunting for another good source for the article to close up those gaps. Thanks Bedford! Charles Edward (Talk) 21:54, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- Been awhile since I've stopped by here, when that article is good enough for a GA let me know and I can review it (I haven't been too focused on GAs lately). I should have time in a few weeks so that should give you time to improve it if you want. Good luck and see you around. --Banime (talk) 01:21, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
DYK nomination
Hi. I've nominated La Salle Expeditions, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created/expanded on November 19, where you can improve it if you see fit. Thanks --Bruce1eetalk 08:59, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you! I am not too good at picking out hooks.. So I normally don't. Thanks though! Charles Edward (Talk) 13:31, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Indiana State Auditor
Hey there, I happened to stumble upon this while working on another article. Thought you might find it helpful! By the way, I don't know if you know something I don't but the dates on the Indiana State Auditor page are incorrect according to the article I linked above. Have a good one, HoosierStateTalk 16:45, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry about the revert on Political party strength in Indiana, it moved a ton of columns out of place. Its just easier to go one by one and make sure everything is in place. I plan to add them all eventually. Sorry again. HoosierStateTalk 16:51, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- That is perfectly Ok! Thanks for the source. Comparing it to my source I can only find two dates incorrectt (the last two terms on the list). Was there more besides that you saw was wrong? I was getting it out of a book I have which was wrote in 1969, so all the dates on the lists ended there. There is an appendix added in 1983 with more. There is a little missing info there, and it looks like I miscalculated on the ending dates of the last two terms. Thanks I will correct it. Charles Edward (Talk) 16:58, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- Actually upon a closer look, it appears my books source is off a year starting in 1969. Thats odd. Thanks again! Charles Edward (Talk) 16:59, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Indiana State Treasurer
Hello again Charles! Well once again I've found a list only this time for State Treasurer. And again your new table differs greatly from the source. I don't know if its a typing error or what but I'll let you look over it and make any corrections. HoosierStateTalk 05:36, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Hoosier! Thanks for the link. Checking it against what is in the article, the differences I pick out is the ending date of the last term in the article and also a few of the hometowns. I double checked the book I have, and the hometowns in the article now are correct to what is in my source. The last term ended in 1983 because that was the last revision of my book. I am not sure what to do about the hometowns. My source does not have footnotes, so I am unsure where the author's primary source would be. I would guess though that the state library would have been the primary source. Which is your link - so i would say we should use that. What do you think? Charles Edward (Talk) 21:04, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- I've gotten several lists that are just like this one for governor, etc. and they're correct so I think it's safe to use the link. The thing that struck me though was that there is no Julian Ridlen or John Ruby in the link I gave you. How could your book and this link be so different? HoosierStateTalk 23:25, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- I am not sure, I am wondering if the appendix in my book is very incorrect. That is where the problems where in the auditors too. I am going to just stop using that part of the book. The appendix contains the info from 1969-1983. I will get the article fixed up with the info on your link. Thanks again! Charles Edward (Talk) 23:35, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Superintendent of Public Instruction
That is the one list I haven't been able to find. If you give me a random name from the list of Superintendents of Public Instruction I could probably find it. HoosierStateTalk 03:35, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, I knew that'd do it! Here you go! HoosierStateTalk 03:40, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- Just in case you see corrections that need to be made or you want to update the lists to the format you're doing them all in, here are the rest of the links. Happy editing! HoosierStateTalk 05:45, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- In the Secretary of State source, it lists James Morrison as a Republican. Does your book list him as a Dem? HoosierStateTalk 02:24, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
- I think I figured it out.. I have been looking at it to try and figure out what party he was - He could not have been republican because the republican party was not created until 1854.

Benjamin Harrison
You may have noticed I've added some information to Benjamin Harrison, which you had already improved a great deal from its earlier state. I'm hoping to submit it for Featured Article, and I'd be interested in any improvements you'd care to make before I submit it. Coemgenus 17:27, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hello! Yes I'd be glad to help in any way I can. I have a couple good books here for sources, plus there is lots of online content. I think there is more that could be added throughout the article. Comprehensiveness is what is probably most lacking right now for FA status. The post presidency could use quite a bit more work I think, and also more information on some of the events in his term as president. Right now it just hits the high points without a great deal of explanation. All the other parts, except maybe prose, should be pretty close to passing FA. If I have a chance in the next couple days I will pull out my books and see what I can add. Charles Edward (Talk) 21:06, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds good. There is more to add, certainly -- I never wrote about his interest in civil rights in the South, for example. You don't have that three-volume biography by Sievers, do you? It's hard to find in libraries around my area and expensive to buy, so I haven't used it. Coemgenus 21:52, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- No I don't, I have a book on all the presidents and there is a chapter on Harrison. I also have another book somewhere about that time period that would have significant info about him. There is also lots of stuff on google books you can read online: [1] Charles Edward (Talk) 21:55, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
