Welcome

Welcome to my talk page, not that I really expect anyone to use this all to much, as I only edit Wikipedia infrequently. However I will reply on my talk page to any comments, unless you ask me that I reply elsewhere. Benny45boy 12:05, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

redirect / move problem

Hi. Offhand it looks nice that you are fixing up articles about U.S. presidential offices.

I note your redirect of Old Executive Office Building to Eisenhower Executive Office Building. It looks like the article has been moved back and forth before. I don't have any opinion on which is the best name, but perhaps it should be discussed at the Talk page of the article, because there has been apparently different opinions previously, before moving abruptly.

Also, your move and redirect seems to have been done by cut-and-paste, which loses the edit history of the article. And, it separated the Talk page discussion, which is now sitting there as a Talk page for the redirect.

Perhaps you are not yet aware of the wp:RM requested move service. You can there suggest a move, and, perhaps after some discussion, an administrator will close the discussion implement the move, handling any complications with edit histories and talk pages. I encourage you to try it in the future. Also, for this one, I will list the problem there, because it needs to be fixed. Perhaps your move should be Undone, and discussion about the move opened, as next steps, but I'll just mention it first. Please check wp:RM for the notice there, shortly. doncram (talk) 19:34, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I did post something at wp:RM, but upon further thought, I decided it best to undo your cut-and-paste + redirect. Please follow the process for requesting a move, for handling discussion notice, and so on, at wp:RM. Again, I don't have any strong opinion about which is the best name, but the move needs to be handled properly. doncram (talk) 20:06, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Disagreement over White House Office and Executive Office of the President articles

Hi. I have stated my opinion concerning the ordering of the Chief of Staff's Office on the White House Office page, and the White House Office on the Executive Office of the President page, on the 'talk pages' of those respective articles. Please consult these pages. VanCity99 (talk) 10:49, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Counselor to the President Article

Since you are a frequent contributor to articles relating to the United States Government, and previously contributed to the Counselor to the President article, I wanted to let you know about a question I have raised concerning that article. For more information, see the article's Talk page for details. --TommyBoy (talk) 22:50, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this matter, I have updated the article accordingly. --TommyBoy (talk) 21:30, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

EOP Agencies

Greetings, I've noticed you removed a few agencies from Executive Office of the President of the United States including the National Economic Council. Are these no longer part of the EOP? Poshzombie (talk) 18:58, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually as far as I can tell they never were part of the EOP but in fact fall under the Office of White House Policy (or Office of Policy Development) which is part of the White House Office, apologies if I didn't adequately explain it enough. Benny45boy (talk) 20:45, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

That clears it up, thanks.Poshzombie (talk) 00:31, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Generated Image of new N97.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Generated Image of new N97.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
