Little Butte Creek (Rogue River) TFAR

I really like this. I've nom'd it for WP:TFAR for Oct 8. PumpkinSky talk 00:56, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks! LittleMountain5 02:17, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Can you beef up the blurb there? Someone says it needs work. We may also need to move it to the first day of winter or something. PumpkinSky talk 23:31, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

I'll take a look at it. LittleMountain5 22:07, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

For sfn samples, see Franz Kafka and Harry S. Truman PumpkinSky talk 00:05, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Those are great, thank you! I'll try to transition over to that during the next few days. LittleMountain5 00:25, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Coming as requested, please check the blurb, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:57, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I added a couple of sentences at the end so the date relevancy is visible. LittleMountain5 14:38, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

It's on the main page now as TFA. Congrats! PumpkinSky talk 02:41, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi- saw it on the Main Page just now. Great article. Congratulations! Jsayre64 (talk) 04:09, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Very cool! Great article... well done! --Another Believer _(Talk) 16:11, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Great job, way to be! Valfontis (talk) 20:00, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks everyone! LittleMountain5 23:33, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Precious

	Oregon rivers
	Thank you for quality articles on Oregon's rivers, such as Little Butte Creek, looking at the related history and people, - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (5 July 2008)! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:47, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! :-D LittleMountain5 23:33, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism

Glad to help. The name of the creek seems to have excited a lot of 12-year-olds. Finetooth (talk) 21:56, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Seriously, wow. "Butte" seems to have that effect on kids... LittleMountain5 23:33, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

One of the articles is at Category:Possible Misplaced Pages four award articles is mine. You should do this round of promotions.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:38, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

New version of Maiden Peak panorama

Since you kindly added annotations pointing out landmarks for my photo File:Maiden Peak panorama.jpg, I wanted to ask your opinion about whether this new version I made should take the former's place in the Maiden Peak article. See the new version's description page for an explanation of the differences between the two. I've also copied your annotations on to the new file as well. Thanks. Jsayre64 (talk) 05:22, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Aesthetically, I definitely like the new one more; it's straighter, better blended, and shows more of the landscape and less of the sky. I just wish you didn't have to crop Diamond Peak out. But yes, I do think the new version would look better in the article. Good job! LittleMountain5 16:49, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the feedback. Diamond Peak was left out because I was restitching the pano with the program AutoStitch to see if it would come out better than the last time, and it dumped two of the original photos. There was probably too much space between the some of the shots. Hopefully I'll get better at this! Jsayre64 (talk) 04:03, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I like the new one better, too. In my experience, Autostitch likes lots of overlap and no gaps. You can even do more than one row of single images, one on top of the next, and Autostitch will put them all together. Finetooth (talk) 17:20, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, overlap is key. I'm no panorama expert, but the few 360-degree panoramas that I've taken each required 15+ images to stitch well. LittleMountain5 22:11, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

New list

List of longest streams of Idaho looks like an FL candidate to me. Nice job. Finetooth (talk) 02:21, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll probably nominate it after I get rid of all the red links and make a map. (Which might take a while...) LittleMountain5 07:15, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

DYK for List of longest streams of Idaho

On 7 February 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article List of longest streams of Idaho, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that 70 rivers and creeks on the list of longest streams of Idaho are over 50 miles (80 km) long? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/List of longest streams of Idaho. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Length of this creek

Hi, I was wondering if you might be willing to look for the length of Elkhorn Creek (Marion County, Oregon) with the USGS National Map; please see here. Thanks! Jsayre64 (talk) 01:59, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

No problem,  Done. If you need any more stream lengths or want to learn how to calculate them yourself, feel free to ask! LittleMountain5 14:40, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. Is it actually possible to access NHD data on a Mac? Jsayre64 (talk) 00:19, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't know, unfortunately. I use ArcGIS Explorer Desktop, which seems to be Windows-only. There may be other options out there, but I haven't heard of any. :-/ LittleMountain5 01:08, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
