LIRR West Brighton Beach Division & Manhattan Beach Branch

I had no idea you were the person who posted the first message on the LIRR Manhattan Beach Branch talk page, and I can't read those references you posted, but is this the Culver Line you're referring to? If so, perhaps the "West Brighton Beach Division" redlink on the {{Long Island Rail Road}} template ought to be redirected there. As for the Evergreen and Bushwick Branches, It appears that they were part of the former Manhattan Beach Branch, so maybe those redlinks should face a similar fate. ----DanTD (talk) 13:34, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't remember, and I'm getting confused right now :\ --NE2 22:34, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just found out the Evergreen Branch was originally the Glendale and East River Railroad. Now for the other sections of the Manhattan Beach Branch. ----DanTD (talk) 13:09, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No thanks - I mostly concentrate on the U.S. anyway. --NE2 06:38, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, do you want this protected to avoid the bots? –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 05:14, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No; I want the bots so I know if they stop if and when the maximum redirect chain length is permanently increased. --NE2 05:17, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 05:25, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

user pages

Please don't do unwanted changes in user pages of other rusers. - 7-bubёn >t 18:22, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You do not own your user space, and it's clear that others do want these changes. --NE2 18:23, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes, I do to a large extent, please read the policies I have my reasons. Please respect them. - 7-bubёn >t 18:24, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you could explain those reasons? --NE2 18:26, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Privacy. That's I've undergone the hassle of renaming after 5+years and 100K+ contribs. Co-editors know who I was. The rest should not care. Name does not matter: content does. - 7-bubёn >t 04:28, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, your "privacy" has been kind of busted. --NE2 09:08, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you think I don't know that? (And do you think many wikipedians really care about dealing with me?) I am not talking about wikipedia privacy; it is the real-world issue. I will not go into detail but the issue does exist. - 7-bubёn >t 16:56, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel editing here puts you at danger, stop editing. Your life is more important than your editing. --NE2 19:31, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hi.

Thanks for supporting the elimination of BetacommandBot warnings, apparently it didn`t had others support. but apreciate it anyway Zidane tribal (talk) 17:28, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A favor

Hey, NE2, if you could with your wonderful AWB skills create redirects to all Utah state route articles (including state and U.S. highways) - if someone types in "Utah State Road XX" (XX being the number). I'm asking you to include U.S. routes because frequently the local news media refers to a lot of U.S. routes as "State Roads" as well as regular state routes (it positively miffs me when reporters refer to US-6 as SR-6). This is a pretty tedious task so if you can't do it with AWB consider this request void :) Thanks again - C L — 23:47, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your best bet is probably to have someone with a bot create them. (Note that Utah State Route 6 is a disambiguation.) --NE2 00:11, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, fair enough. Note though, with US-6, Utah State Road 6 does not redirect to it, which is what I'm trying to do with every Utah state road article. C L — 01:41, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Forgive me for butting into a conversation that doesn't involve me. Wouldn't the easiest solution be to just re-list the US and Interstate routes on List of Utah State Routes? (They used to be there before being broke off a separate page). Although Utah State Road 6 does not exist searching on Utah State Road 6 will result in various Utah state Route pages being returned, clicking on any of which would lead to that page in the infobox.Dave (talk) 22:20, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reporting mark template

Since you were the one who's been editing this template most recently, I thought you'd be right person to come to with a question/comment. It appears that the template is set up to link to the article titled with the name of the reporting mark — in many cases, that article is a disambiguation page, which shouldn't have an incoming link. I've been fixing these by removing the template and replacing it with a parenthetical link to the Reporting mark article and leaving the mark itself unlinked (see Wilmington Terminal Railroad and Wabash Valley Railroad most recently). Not sure how the template was intended to work, but I'm assuming how it's working now wasn't it. Mlaffs (talk) 04:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't do that - it's part of how the parserfunction #ifexist works. --NE2 04:41, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll go back and revert the changes that I've made. It doesn't cause a problem where the mark is a redirect to the railroad article, however, you need to figure out a way to keep it from creating an incoming link where the mark is actually a dab page.

Red links

re red links are not a problem. --NE2 23:55, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

from WP:red link:

However when considering adding red links to lists, disambiguation pages or templates, editors are encouraged to write the article first, and use the wikiproject or user spaces to keep track of unwritten articles

--TheAllSeeingEye (talk) 00:11, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When there's a finite set of articles, that's not a concern. Don't remove redlinks. --NE2 00:14, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
