[edit] Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited California State Route 57, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Highway System (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.

Arg. I was being sloppy and didn't recognize that everything I was reading was old news. Glad you quickly reverted my careless comment. -Pete (talk) 23:25, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Not a problem. The user's currently blocked until June, with an ArbCom motion for an indefinite ban taking place. --Rschen7754 23:27, 8 February 2012 (UTC)


[edit] interstate 57 --

in late 2007 former mayor Joann Kelly annexed all of that area witch was divieded between unincoperated Country Club Hills and unincorporated Oak Forest so now what used to be localy known as the south country club hills exit is now locally called the oak forest i-57 exit. this is because this land is know owned by the city of oak forest — Preceding unsigned comment added by COOTER228 (talk • contribs) 15:50, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Okay... --Rschen7754 18:06, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
so can some one please change it on the interstate 57 page on the exit list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by COOTER228 (talk • contribs) 18:02, February 22, 2012
You're welcome to do so, if you wish. --Rschen7754 23:34, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] MSU Interview

Dear Rschen7754,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.


So a few things about the interviews:

  • Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
  • Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
  • All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
  • All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
  • The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.


Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.


Sincerely,


Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 07:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

I'd reply, but I think User talk:SilkTork said everything I wanted to say. --Rschen7754 21:26, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Hi, Rschen, thanks for the welcome! I'm working on a new article, User:Fma12/Provincial_Route_2_(Argentina), about one of the most important roads of Argentina. When the article is finished, I'll be glad if you or other editors could help me to improve it with your grammar or style corrections, because I'm not a native English speaker . Thanks again, we'll surely be in touch soon. Regards, Fma12 (talk) 21:23, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Looks good so far! (BTW, I understand some Spanish, but it's been a while, and it's probably worse than your understanding of English.) --Rschen7754 21:28, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your support !!! The article is ready and submitted. You can find it here: Provincial Route 2 (Buenos Aires) and I hope it like you. Of course you are welcome to leave your feedback and to improve and expand the article, Thanks again ! Best Fma12 (talk) 16:07, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Looks good! This may be the best article in the Latin America region on the English Wikipedia. The only thing I'm concerned about is the route diagram. On the English Wikipedia we do WP:RJL tables instead due to accessibility concerns and because our tables provide a little more information. Feel free to ask if you have any questions! --Rschen7754 18:34, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words. It makes me feel very proud of my work, which took many days to be ready although there are still some sections to be improved. About route diagrams, I took the template from another route article (I think it was on the Spanish Wikipedia but I'm not pretty sure). Beyond that, I'm going to add a WP:RJL table to the article to be in the tone of English WP. Thanks in advance !Fma12 (talk) 22:16, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Delaware Route 36

If you are not happy with my decision you can reassess the article. But don't make me do it, because I'm not gonna do it. /\ talk← Aviyal →Policy) /\

I'm just asking for you to explain your reasoning on a few aspects of your review. This is what all GAN reviewers are expected to do. --Rschen7754 21:44, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
