Hey Chris, I see you're on a break, but I was wondering if you could do new maps for the NJ Legislative districts like the ones you did for 2001? The new maps from the state for numbering have been released here. I have no graphic talents, so if you can't I will look for someone else. Thanks.

Hey Jim, I used the shape files here [1] to generate the previous map. There was no graphic talent involved. :) If/when those files are updated, I can try to generate a new SVG. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 21:08, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a map has already been made, see here: File:New Jersey Legislative Districts Map (2011).svg. No idea how accurate this is though. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 21:24, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And apparently I don't know what year it is! Thanks for the cleanup. Jim Miller ^{See me | Touch me} 22:07, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Coyne After War.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know if you're aware that you've inserted a duplication of the State Parks subsection twice now. I'll take care of it (again). 96.242.217.91 (talk) 02:35, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, my error. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 15:29, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"State parks: replace image; flows better and is more illustrative" -- Seriously, bro? LOL!!! Why don't you just say that you like that picture better?

(Personally, I don't know why, it seems darker and gloomier than the other one, which actually shows more crisp detail, is brighter, and looking southward, hints at a silhouette of the Manhattan skyline - but to each his own, I guess.) 96.242.217.91 (talk) 00:23, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I find it more illustrative of the palisades itself, the item of discussion. It better displays the cliffs in thumbnail form, IMO. Yes, this is opinion. If there is a disagreement, we can talk to build consensus on the talk page. As for flowing better, I was referring to the landscape aspect ratio and size of the image in relation to the other surrounding images. Again, this is my opinion. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 17:01, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also like to bring up another point - I notice that another editor had recently posted an image of Koreatown in Palisades Park, and you nixed it calling it an empty street. I had posted the same thing perhaps a year ago, and you did the same thing, stating the same reason. First of all, that is simply not true about being an empty street - click the picture just once, and you can immediately count about seven or eight Korean businesses. Second of all, the caption I believe was referenced. Third, it may not be as dense as the Manhattan Chinatown, or maybe the picture was taken at mid-morning beween rush hour and lunch hour on a weekday when fewer people are out, or maybe the picture was just captured at the unfortunate second when people and cars were out of view - but none of these things matter, nor do they belie the legitimacy of the Koreatown's existence. I also believe that the image should go up, and to be honest, I find your viewpoint offensive on this particular point.

96.242.217.91 (talk) 00:46, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The primary subject of the photo appears to be the street and sky. It is not for lack of cars that I object, it is the lack of the ability to tell that it is Korean businesses when in thumbnail form (even at 300 or 350px). Even when looking at the image page, it is hard to tell since all of the signs are at oblique angles. I would welcome a better image clearly showing that the signs are using hangul. Compare for example File:Day124ckoreatown.JPG and File:Koreatown manhattan 2009.JPG. Please assume good faith and do not ascribe objectionable reasons for the image's removal without talking to me first. The removal of the image does not indicate that the existence of Koreatown is somehow illegitimate, merely that it is not illustrative. As for the references, two of the three are in the article already. If the "serious eats" reference is important, it should be added to the main text. BTW, lets take this to the article talk page for any further discussion. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 17:01, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree the Koreatown image is valid and self-explanatory and belongs in the article.-173.220.112.82 (talk) 15:20, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would like a Koreatown image in the article, but this one doesn't make the cut in my opinion. Lets take this to the article talk page for any further discussion. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 17:01, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

moved discussion to Talk:Bergen County, New Jersey#Photos -- please reply there. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 17:08, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you did some modification to the map of the VTA light rail used in several articles. Are you able to edit the names on the map? the Snell and Cottle stations are labeled backwards to their relative positions. BT14 (talk) 00:18, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I swapped the two station labels on File:VTALightRail.svg and File:VTA-light-rail.svg. Does that look better? Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 14:40, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Much appreciated! :) BT14 (talk) 16:25, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
