About your (non)participation in the January 2012 SOPA vote

Hi Mlaffs. I am Piotr Konieczny (User:Piotrus), you may know me as an active content creator (see my userpage), but I am also a professional researcher of Wikipedia. Recently I published a paper (downloadable here) on reasons editors participated in Wikipedia's biggest vote to date (January 2012 WP:SOPA). I am now developing a supplementary paper, which analyzes why many editors did not take part in that vote. Which is where you come in :) You are a highly active Wikipedian (91st), and you were active back during the January 2012 discussion/voting for the SOPA, yet you did not chose to participate in said vote. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me why was that so? For your convenience, I prepared a short survey at meta, which should not take more than a minute of your time. I would dearly appreciate you taking this minute; not only as a Wikipedia researcher but as a fellow content creator and concerned member of the community (I believe your answers may help us eventually improve our policies and thus, the project's governance). PS. If you chose to reply here (on your userpage), please WP:ECHO me. Thank you! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:08, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

TV stations by channel number

Well, my original concept had been that instead of directly creating new lists for Canada/Mexico/US, each category would just be upmerged directly into the existing master lists at Category:TV stations by channel number (which, I see, is what you did for the channel numbers that only had a few entries to list). I don't have any particular objection to the way you actually chose to do it, though — in hindsight, given that the categories were originally created as a misguided attempt to control the size of the master lists it's actually probably a better idea than my original one was. And given that you approached it this way, you're absolutely right that Category:Canadian TV stations by channel number (and the Mexican/US equivalents) should remain in place to contain the new lists.

American TV stations by channel number

Yea, I'll try and close the other 2. If your going to start the cleanup as soon as it is closed, I'll delay adding the counters which is what takes most of the time. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:31, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

FYI, the discussions have been closed as listify. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:59, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aloha Partners, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Channel 54, Channel 55 and Channel 59. 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.
