Lord & Taylor[edit]
Hey Kyle!
First, let me thank you for the time, effort, and hard work you put into trying to fix/restore the Lord & Taylor page. Once Wikipedia blocks/bans the vandal, the page will be ok. Both Elipongo and myself will continue to keep an eye on the page, and I have spent some time tonight looking up citations to use to prove that the page itself is correct, and that the edits from the vandals are indeed, vandalism.
On a related note, I paged through some of your contributions to Wikipedia, and I really enjoyed the photos of various Lord & Taylor stores that you have taken in the past, even if they were removed from Wiki. Lord & Taylor is my favorite store, and I especially love to see photos of the older stores which I have not yet visited.
Have a good one.

Lord & Taylor, Part 2[edit]
Hey Kyle,
2 things. First, it was me who left the above comment, not Elipongo . I noticed you thanked him on his comment page for leaving it! lol.
Anyway, just had a quick question. I noticed you're updating the square footage size of the Lord & Taylor stores. I was wondering where you're getting this information from? I was looking at the May Company 2005 factbook, which can be accessed by the link below, and the square footage you've been adding does not match the factbook. I'm certainly not saying you're wrong and I am right, however, I wanted to give you the link to the factbook and you can figure out if your data or the factbook is more reliable. The factbook can be found here - http://www.fds.com/ir/maymerger/shareholders/fact_book.asp
Let me know your thoughts.

Hey Kyle,
I totally see your point about the store size. Whichever refrence you want to use for the size (the mall website or the May 2005 factbook) is fine with me. It's probably a good idea to cite whichever source you're using in case anyone asks/questions the numbers in the future. As I said before, I didn't necessairly think the factbook was correct and that you were incorrect...I just wanted to give you the factbook link to compare with your own data. The factbook is nice to look at anyway.
On a related note, I'd love to see some of your photos of Lord & Taylor stores. I came across a couple on the amesfanclub.com cite, but others would be great as well. I like to read abouts lots of department store chains, both closed and open, but Lord & Taylor is one of my all time favorites.

Easton Edits[edit]
Hi, Yankeyfan315. I noticed you replaced all the edits I made regarding the city's history. Most of these related to style, which I realize is always highly debatable, but some were connected with verifiability and grammar. I'm raising this question, because you didn't make any reference to these changes in the edit comments and only indicated you were adding demographic material. I really don't mind having my writing edited, but I'm curious as to how the material as it originally stood is better than as I changed it.
On more substantive matters, I do take issue with two assertions: that Easton was "a popular area" before Europeans arrived (does that mean that this was a favorite hunting and fishing spot for the Lenape?) and that Easton was named the county seat because it was "as far as possible from the Moravians," which ignores the importance of the location's strategic advantages. Accordingly, I am requesting that citations be provided. One place to start is the City of Easton's website [1], which has a fairly reliable set of facts on the city's beginnings.
Above all, I don't want to get into a tit-for-tat over any of this. I'm sure we can avoid that by simply communicating our individual viewpoints and by working together to provide readers with a succinct and accurate account of Easton's early history. Thanks.

Virginia demographics[edit]
Where'd you get the new numbers for Virginia's demographics? If we're going to use them, we're also going to need to update the reference that goes along with it.-- Patrick {oѺ∞} 23:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
