Since the 5 days is almost up, I'll delete this article so that you can do the move of the real article. Vegaswikian 00:43, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Roller coaster templates[edit]
Hey, good call on switching over the coaster templates. That was on my to do list. The old table just looked out of place, the newer ones are more streamlined. Cheers! Stratosphere 16:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
- I'll stick the list of coasters template on the Cedar Point pages this weekend, I have exams Thu/Fri so probably won't get to it til after. Stratosphere 07:20, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Roller Coasters[edit]
I'd like to help out, but I don't really have the time now. I can probably join the project after this semester is over. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 16:59, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Is there any way I'd be able to become involved with the WikiProject? I've made it a point to center the majority of my edits on amusement park related articles and would love to be able to help out in making such a project expand. VexedTechie 15:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Top Thrill Dragster edits[edit]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is my reversion of the edit(s) by 69.161.152.109 correct in that Top Thrill Dragster is NOT a "Tera-Coaster" but is a "Strata Coaster"? It's never been branded as a teracoaster, and was the self-proclaimed first "Strata Coaster." Nevertheless, whoever is running that IP address is insistent upon naming it a tera-coaster. I feel as his edits with regard to TTD are somewhat "blasphemous." VexedTechie 13:21, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- According to RCDB, Top Thrill Dragster, Kingda Ka, Kanonen, Stealth, Storm Runner, etc., are accelerator coasters. I've usually heard TTD and KK referred to as "stratacoasters" or "stratocoasters", although the mega-/giga-/strat(a|o)- terms are more just marketing terms made up by Intamin. I go ahead and use them myself even though I'm more of a B&M fan, but most other B&M fans call them "rocket coasters". I've never heard the term "teracoaster" used, although it does show up in Google. (It's probably from a naming convention commonly used in computer science - kilo-, mega-, giga-, tera-, peta-, exa- - when talking about bytes of storage on a computer. So it is somewhat logical, but strato- is the prefix I've seen most often for TTD and KK.)
- As for "shortshot" - I've never heard that term used, and Google doesn't seem to either. I've only heard "rollback".
- As for B&M, I don't know a great deal of their history; but this link says that they used to work for Intamin.
- --Idont Havaname (Talk) 17:43, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Hmm... The Promotion Video of TTD says it is a stratacoaster. -Ceres3
- It's correct. A stratacoaster is a 400+ (or you could say 400-499) foot tall coaster, TTD and KK are the only ones. An accelerator coaster is Intamin's model of hydraulic launch coaster. TTD and KK are accelerator coasters, but so are Xcelerator, Storm Runner, Kanonen etc. Dusso Janladde 13:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- On a related note, someone (a while back) edited the rider capacity and made it 1,051 per hour. The manufacturer lists it at 1,500 rph and is what is on CP's (and rcdb) web site. While I understand this person might have some actual numbers based on experience, is it customary to list the manufacturers/parks specs on the ride? I edited it once, but they changed it back. I figured maybe the project could come up with a standard. Stratosphere 02:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
New roller coaster infobox format[edit]
Copied from User_Talk:Tim_fischer
I just finished changing the infobox a matter of minutes ago, and it's fantastic to see someone else already working on changing the articles! Keep it up! Dusso Janladde 05:10, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- No problem, and thanks for your work with the infobox. Looks great. --Rehcsif 14:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Look's Great! I can only create induvidual templates, so how do you make infoboxes?- Coastergeekperson04 21:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Roller Coaster List[edit]
I've added some roller coaster to the list, is this the correct way? I'm just wondering if I'm creating the link name correctly. Is it intended that some one would eventually make a page for each one? (a bunch have no home. poor rides, no link.) --Moonraker0022 07:26, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
re: your recent edit (restore Category:Roller coasters, as it's the main list of all coaster articles)
The Wikipedia Manual of Style dictates that an article should not belong to both a category and one of its subcategories. I removed the categorization into Category:Roller coasters because the template also automatic places coasters into one of its subcats, e.g. Category:Wooden roller coasters. As for being the main list, all articles can be accessed by drilling down through a subcat.
p.s.- I like your idea of the two categories: "Roller coasters by manufacturer" and "Roller coasters by location"
Dddstone 11:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit]
Brain Teaser is up for deletion via WP:AFD. This isn't my article, but if it's deleted, it sets the prescident for many small coasters to be deleted, such as Mild Thing, which runs counter to the Coaster Wikiproject and also will make a lot of park templates look dumb since they can't include all coasters. Just thought you'd like to know and maybe speak up as the head of the project. --Rehcsif 05:39, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- There was recently a similar situation with the Corkscrew (Alton Towers) article which I created. This resulted in a decision to keep the article and all the other Alton Towers coaster articles. I thought you might be interested in reading the debate. --Fozi999 22:45, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject roller coasters[edit]
Hi there, just to let you know that WP:ROCO has been given an overhaul. As you are listed as a participant, I just thought I'd let you know that there's a new to-do section and much clearer guidelines for roller coaster articles. Hope to see you over there!

Template:RollerCoasterStatSheet[edit]
Hi, I just noticed that a template you created, Template:RollerCoasterStatSheet, is unused and appears to be abandoned. I've marked it as deprecated, meaning it'll be deleted in two weeks' time if nobody objects. If there's a reason to keep it please leave a note at Wikipedia talk:Deprecated and orphaned templates. Thanks. Bryan Derksen 02:44, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, I meant to do this myself but I forgot, the template in question has long since been superseded by {{Infobox roller coaster}}. Dusso Janladde 15:59, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter, December 2007[edit]

 The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter
Issue I - December 2007 Got any suggestions? - Add them here |
Welcome to the new WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! Until now, in spite of a decent number of members signed up to the WikiProject, we have had no regular progress updates or information as to how much of a difference our contributions are making. This monthly newsletter aims to provide an overview of all the work that is being done behind the scenes and to celebrate the successes that would otherwise pass by unseen. Any suggestions for future additions and general help with the newsletter will be greatly appreciated. |
As can be seen on the assessment page, we are so close to finishing off assessment. If all current members of the WikiProject assessed just 2 articles, the backlog of unassessed-quality articles would be eliminated. The vast majority of articles are currently assessed as stubs, which is probably to be expected as many contain an infobox and nothing else. Getting these up to start-class is incredibly easy, many simply need references and tidying up. Even if you have very little knowledge on the article subject, this task should be fairly straightforward and is the first step in raising overall article quality. The following articles reached B-class quality during November: |
The Amusement Park Portal is now automatically linked to from the roller coaster infoboxes. It's important to remember that we need to integrate our articles with those covered by the Amusement Park WikiProject. When working on a roller coaster article, it's always a good idea to ensure that there is a wikilink from the relevant amusement park article, otherwise no-one will even know the article exists! |
During November the WikiProject was joined by 3 new members, bringing the total number up to 49. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments. |
Just to get the idea out there, I'd like to propose a monthly article drive. With the poor state of most of the articles, it's unreasonable to suggest even a GA-drive, so a B-class drive would be more realistic. Any suggestions for January's article can be brought up on the WikiProject Talk Page. Suggested articles should be presently at start or stub class and have sufficient reliable sources available to work from. |
Thanks for reading, any feedback would be hugely appreciated! Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! |
Delivered 12th December, 2007 by Seaserpent85. If you would rather not receive this newsletter, please place a * after your username on the members page. Seaserpent85 22:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome!
Welcome to the second WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! December has seen some real progress in terms of bringing up the quality of roller coaster related articles on Wikipedia. Assessment and tagging of articles is almost completely done and efforts are now being focussed on quality and improving articles. This month also sees the start of the new B-class drive, a brilliant way to get involved with the WikiProject and achieve something together. |
|
Articles and Assessment
As far as assessment goes, the backlog from last month was cleared almost immediately after the last newsletter went out, almost single-handedly by Alton! A progress chart can be seen on the assessment page that shows we are slowly dragging up the quality of the articles covered by the WikiProject.
The following articles reached B-class quality during December:  • Magnum XL-200 • Maverick (roller coaster) • Nemesis (roller coaster) • SheiKra |
|
Amusement Parks Portal
The Amusement Parks Portal has been significantly expanded over the past month and is currently a candidate for featured portal. Any suggestions for featured articles and pictures can be put forward on their respective sections. |
|
Membership News
During December the WikiProject was joined by 2 new members, bringing the total number up to 49 after 2 inactive users were removed from the member list. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments. |
|
B-class Drive
This month's B-class Drive: Arrow Dynamics
So here is the first article improvement drive for the WikiProject, Arrow Dynamics. There isn't a huge amount that needs doing apart from the addition of references, formatting and a copyedit. For any outstanding contributions there are barnstars available which can be given to and by anyone! Any suggestions for February's B-class Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it. |

...and finally...
Once again, thanks for reading! As always suggestions and offers of help are much appreciated. |

Welcome!
Welcome to the WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! January has seen a number of milestones being passed in the WikiProject. We've achieved our first good article, brought a portal up to featured portal status and successfully collaborated together on the first Article Improvement Drive, amongst other achievements. Let's carry on with the good work and continue bringing up the standard of all articles covered by the WikiProject! |
|
Articles and Assessment
We hit a milestone in January with our first GA-class article, Speed Monster! This shows just how easy it is improve articles by including references and increasing readability. Collaboration has got off to a good start, with the first chosen article, Arrow Dynamics, improving enough to reach B-class. The following articles reached GA-class or B-class quality during January: |

Amusement Parks Portal

Membership News
During January the WikiProject was joined by 6 new members, bringing the total number up to 55. A very warm welcome to Etf, CPGACoast, RickMarkestein, Emackert, Onewayroad2home and Suttna08. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments.
A discussion is taking place regarding the best way to organise information about roller coaster records and the history of roller coasters. All members' opinions are welcomed; the discussion can be found here.

Article Improvement Drive
This month's Article Improvement Drive: Roller coaster
Why not start at the top?! The main article is already at B class and, with a little help, isn't too far away from GA class. Please see the collaboration page for further information. Any suggestions for March's Article Improvement Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it. |

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 06:18, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Title sequence of Game of Thrones, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Bradley (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
