Buses WikiProject

I notice that you have edited lists of bus routes recently. You might be interested in helping with the new WikiProject buses, especially the proposed Bus route list guide. We are also working out when a bus route should have its own article and other issues. --NE2 15:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Grégory Charles

For what it's worth, while I personally agree with your move — and I also absolutely, flatly refuse to link to Céline Dion without an accent in it, too — I just wanted to bring to your attention the edit in which it was originally moved to the unaccented title. Bearcat (talk) 02:50, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for checking things out. I realize that you are just trying to help and I don't think you were being mean to me. It's just that often it better to check things and discuss before reverting. In fact, the IMDb isn't really the most reliable source; the best source for something like this is Charles' own website. Since this is how he spells his name on all of his material, I think it is a fair guess that this is how it is spelled. It makes sense too (I come from Quebec). Grégoire is spelt with an accent, but Grégory just isn't a French name. Anyway, thank you for looking into it, and for agreeing to move the article back again. --Slp1 (talk) 02:54, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Natasha Yi

Instead of having an administrator put a note on the page, why don't you try adding references to establish verifiability. Here's a link on what are and are not considered reliable sources. And Template:Cite_web should give you a good format to follow. If you have problems in the future, consider going to the biographies of living persons noticeboard or you can request page protection for repeated vandalism. I know you want an administrator to say "Steam5 was right" on the page, but we're not going to do that. Instead, source the article, and if this comes up again, you'll have no problem asserting that you are in fact correct. AniMate^talk 18:15, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Here's the way a reference should look <ref>{{cite web | title= | url= | work= | publisher= | date= | accessdate=2009-05-10}}</ref>

Here's what it would look like in an article:

Natasha Yi was born in 1979.

References

Now, you can copy and paste my example into the article, but you really should get to work on sourcing the rest of the article. Also, if you want to use the AskMen.com page to source multiple statements, all you'll have to type now is <ref name="AskMen"/>. AniMate^talk 18:49, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Well you did the bare minimal. The reference looks fine. Now you need to source the rest of the article. --AniMate^talk 20:16, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

You don't need anymore help. Just do the same thing as you did for her birthday. You found a source (AskMen.com), I've shown you how to use the "cite web" template. Now just do the same thing for all of the other statements. Find a source stating she was the first Asian American on The Price Is Right. Find a source for her magazine appearances. Find a source for her movie appearances. Find a source for her motorcycle. Find a source for comic strip...etc, etc, etc. AniMate^talk 20:37, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

How you should've handled this problem

1. - Asked the IP where they were getting their information from - it's entirely possible they had found a source stating 1981
2. - Found a RELIABLE source for the 1979 figure (IMDB doesn't cut it!)
3. - Reinserted the 1979 date cited to the reliable source and notified the IP you'd done this, why you'd done so and inviting them to check the source
4. - If the IP persisted in changing the year without explanation/source/discussion reported him to WP:AIV for admin assistance.

North Shore (Metro Vancouver)??

I don't think it's one of my edits you're talking about; generally I oppose the substitution of "Metro Vancouver" for "Greater Vancouver", and maintain that the latter name remains in "most common use" and that it was the name of the region a long time before the creation of the GVRD in 1966 or 1967. For the record, for now at least, the name of the regional district remains Greater Vancouver Regional District though it's governing body is already Metro Vancouver; this will change as the provincial gazette is updated I suppose. But if you look around, you'll find I've opposed the merger of Greater Victoria, British Columbia with the Capital Regional District, British Columbia article, and ditto the related categories. I don't like the use of regional districts as geographic classifiers one little bit and think they're WP:Undue weight being given to one type of administrative region that is actually among the weakest of such subdivisions-of-BC systems and they're very not apporpriate as classifiers of where people are from, or for articles about people, places and events prior to the creation of regional districts.....summing up, I htink you haven't read the edit history correctly and have mistaken me for someone else.....it's not the sort of thing I would do...Skookum1 (talk) 21:33, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Your moves of stations to use incorrect dashes

Just because the organizations do not use the dashes does not mean that Wikipedia should not use incorrect typography. We use dashes in titles where correct irregardless of what websites do; for example see Herbig–Haro object, a featured article. Please revert your moves. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:21, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

See also the station names at List of Santa Clara VTA Light Rail stations, List of Bay Area Rapid Transit stations, List of Washington Metro stations etc. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:27, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem, thanks for your understanding. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:23, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:48, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
