Hello Jakob, I am new to this whole Wikipedia thing, and you recently blocked my account Virtual Stacks. I changed the credentials of the account, am I still blocked? In addition, I tried to make a page for my company and I tried to be unbiased as possible, can I please get an example on how I can make a page without sounding like advertising or marketing? This is an assignment given by my employer and I have products to add also, please help.

Thanks for the work! I'm going to a part-day event at Clarion University of PA next week, so I may be able to get the remaining municipalities for Clarion County then. I just wish we were done with Cameron County — some weeks ago I got a photo in Shippen Township, and I thought I was getting one in Lumber Township too, but only after returning home did I realise that File:CCC memorial near Emporium.jpg was less than half a mile north of the township line...grr.

Hello. I was working on the entry for Lyman Howe. He was generally known as Lyman H. Howe. So it seems to me that this is how he should be listed. I changed it--you changed it back and I wondered why. If you look at all the Google entries under his name you will see it that way. For Edwin S. Porter--someone I have also written about the main entry title is Edwin S. Porter and then the full name is given below. So this would seem to be consistent with that. Is there someone who adjudicates these things? (Also when you moved it back a lot of additions I was making got lost.)Chamuss (talk) 20:31, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
