Your recent edits of Triple Falls in Uvas Canyon County Park, California were improper. I've reverted the edits to the article and the Talk page to the state they were prior to you hijacking them and turning the article into Triple Falls (North Carolina). Please don't do this kind of thing again. Your action left numerous broken links, which you didn't bother cleaning up afterward. If you need help creating a new article, check at the Help Desk before proceeding. —QuicksilverT @ 13:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I did not hijack that article. The standards set down by the [Waterfalls WikiProject] state, and I quote: "Due to the fact that there are countless waterfalls in the world with the same name, the following method of disambiguation is proposed: The most important waterfall can stay at the undisambiguated title, lesser known ones add a qualifier." Based on that standard, the constantly-flowing Triple Falls of NC far exceeds this standard when compared to Triple Falls of California, which by its own article's admission is "seasonal". I was simply going with the proposed standard. If you have a problem with it, I'd suggest you take it up with them. 5minutes 9:52 AM EST 2-16-07
All such waterfall articles are in Category:Waterfalls of North Carolina; which are part of the entire Category:Landforms structure for each country and US state. Waterfalls are Landforms so they are where they belong. The Natural history article basically indicates that the topic covers plants and animals and little else. Landforms of any kind are not included in Category:Natural history category structure. If they are found there, they get moved to their proper location based on the WP articles themselves. No special treatment for one waterfall. Hope this helps. Thanks Hmains 03:04, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Here's the template that you requested.

Yes, it was a copyright violation since the text was a copy & paste job from Kirkpatrick's biography page with no evidence that the material was released under the GFDL license. So to respond to your message on Talk:Ted Kirkpatrick, there was excellent reason to delete the article. A deletion for a copyright violation of course does not mean that the aticle can not be recreated, so it's good that there is now a non copyvio version. Garion96 (talk) 14:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Yeah no problem, I basically just reworded most of the info that was already there so it wouldn't be a copyright violation. I don't see why the deletionist couldn't have just done that instead of deleting as the article wasn't that long.--E tac 17:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I won't delete or tag the image for now. And even if someone tags it (small chance) you still have a week or so before it will be deleted. Garion96 (talk) 13:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Regarding why did I placed the seemingly redundant edit on the page, you caught me be a little lazy. My goal was purely to get the coordinates to show on the right upper top of the page which I think is what eventually leads to this page showing within Google maps, placeopedia, etc (see Template:Coord). Curious that the coordinates in the waterfall infobox does not lead to the coordinates being placed at the upper right top of the page. I used the only method I knew, whereas with a bit of investigation, I should have used:
Feel free to change to this code or other change. If you know that just having the coordinates in the infobox is adequate to get placement in Google Earth without the coordinates being placed at the top of the page, then feel free to revert my edit. Thanks for getting these pages going. I look forward to seeing the falls for myself. I have been working on the mountain pages in the same region.Badgettrg 04:14, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
The consensus seemed to be to use {{Infobox Waterfall}}. I tried to make it look a little more like {{Waterfall}} (i.e., variable image size parameter, use borders).
Is this OK? hike395 02:10, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!
P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 22:34, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Tedinaction.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Garion96 (talk) 18:02, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
I've reverted your recent addition to John Edwards as a WP:BLP violation. You've been around Wikipedia long enough to know that you can't use the National Enquirer as a source in an article about a living person. If this becomes an issue for Edwards and/or his campaign then a reliable source will pick it up and report on it. If you continue to add content that is violation of the BLP policy, you may find yourself blocked from editing Wikipedia for a short period. --Bobblehead (rants) 22:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed that you have associated yourself with WikiProject North Carolina in one way or another and I wanted to say Hi. I have been doing a bit of work on the project and wanted to know if you were still interested. One of the major things that we need help with is article assessment. If you go to NC Article Grading and Ranking you will see that as of 12-25-2007 we have over 2,900 articles that are either unassessed and/or have not been tagged with importance. If you are interested in remaining a part of WikiProject North Carolina, please consider placing the userbox {{User WikiProject North Carolina}} if you have not already done so that others will know that you are a part of this Project as well as ensuring that you are listed on the WP North Carolina Participants. If you are no longer interested in participating in the project, please strike through your name on the WP North Carolina Participant list and/or remove the WikiProject NC Userbox! If you have any questions, please let me know!Rob110178 (talk) 22:46, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I am going to remove your case, unfortunately Checkuser is not to be used in cases of vandalism. For now, I have blocked the account indefinitely (not something that we usually do, he is not sufficiently warned, but considering his last edits I doubt he'll repent). We'll see what happens next. -- lucasbfr talk 11:36, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I saw your name on the list of participants for the wikiproject waterfalls. Currently I am working on an article here at wikipedia.org titled, "List of Waterfalls in Hamilton, Ontario" and we have at least 100 here in town where I'm from. I would like to know if there are any other cities or towns from around the world that you know of that have more than 100 waterfalls like we have here in Hamilton? Thanks! Nhl4hamilton | Chit-Chat 19:21, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey 5minutes, forgive me if I'm doing this or anything else on Wikipedia wrong. I'm not yet used to all the different formatting and rules in place here. I know you're responsible for a ton of North Carolina Waterfall info on Wikipedia so I thought I'd let you know if you're up to adding some more to Wikipedia. Adding & editing these articles is a lot of work, and I have just enough time to maintain the web site - not really enough to put it here though!
I have created a new web site on waterfalls in NC, http://www.northcarolinawaterfalls.info/. All the text and images on that site is under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, so feel free to use any of it/copy it here. All the images are stored in Picasa Web Albums at 1024 x 768: http://picasaweb.google.com/gallery.wncoutdoors.info/ Look in the North Carolina Waterfalls album. Attribution is NorthCarolinaWaterfalls.info
I added Cedar Rock Falls: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedar_Rock_Falls_(Grogan_Creek)
And I tried uploading an image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cedar_rock_creek_falls.jpg
I believe I'm getting it right but feel free to tweak. Thanks! --Jordan Mitchell, wncoutdoors —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wncoutdoors (talk • contribs) 15:10, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
I've tagged Waterfall on West Prong Hickey Fork for deletion. I don't know much about waterfalls, but this one does not look very notable. You should add some references, perhaps to the site above, or other websites or books. That will show people that these waterfalls have "coverage" and are indeed notable. Once that is done, I think you are allowed to remove the "prod" tag. Otherwise, an admin will decide whether to delete the article or not. Danski14(talk) 15:58, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
Please help improve this article. Armorbearer777 (talk) 09:31, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
