Following a [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/suspend sysop rights of inactive admins|community discussion]] in June 2011, consensus was reached to [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year]] (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]] and the userright will be restored per the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Resysopping|re-sysopping process]] (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at [[WP:RFA]]. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. <!-- Template:Inactive admin -->[[User:MadmanBot|MadmanBot]] ([[User talk:MadmanBot|talk]]) 01:15, 1 September 2017 (UTC) |

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Black Creek (Susquehanna River)]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Culm]] ([http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Black_Creek_%28Susquehanna_River%29 check to confirm] | [http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Black_Creek_%28Susquehanna_River%29 fix with Dab solver]).

Hi Jakec! I've been inspired by your recent interview at ''The Signpost'' and want to start working on some of the waterway articles in my local area (California). I was wondering if you have any tips or perhaps a system of steps for writing waterway articles (good references to check, layout, etc.). Regardless, thanks for your incredible contributions to the 'pedia! '''[[User:Bananasoldier|<span style="color:green">Bananasoldier</span>]]''' ([[User talk:Bananasoldier#top|talk]]) 01:14, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
:{{ping|Bananasoldier}} Thanks! It's great that you're planning to create some waterway articles; there can never be too many of those. As for typical sources that I use: there are only three that I always use: |
|||
:#[http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ The National Map]. Very useful for describing the course of a creek/stream. The distance measuring tool (in the advanced tab) can be used to measure a creek's length since there isn't any centralized repository on stream lengths for some reason. |
|||
:#The [http://www.lycoming.edu/cwi/pdfs/paGazetterOfStreams.pdf Pennsylvania Gazetteer of Streams]. Contains comprehensive [[river mile]]s and watershed area information. Only useful for Pennsylvania obviously, but [http://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/0297/report.pdf this] has some useful info (though it doesn't look to be anywhere near as comprehensive as the Pennsylvania version, nor does it have quite the same type of information). |
|||
:#[http://gnis.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=136:1:2868890350055 GNIS]. Contains elevation information (only for the mouth, so you have to use The National Map to find the source), USGS quadrangles that a feature is on, and date it was entered into the GNIS. Also sometimes contains a list of alternate names. |
|||
:A few sources that I sometimes use, but not always: |
|||
:#uglybridges.com. For California, go [http://uglybridges.com/ca/ here] and navigate to the relevant county. It'll list every bridge in the county along with the creek it crosses (hence the relevance here) and some other useful information as well. |
|||
:#[[TMDL]]s. Dozens of pages long, and usually chock-full of hydrology and geology data. [http://iaspub.epa.gov/tmdl/attains_state.control?p_state=CA&p_cycle=&p_report_type=T#tmdl_by_pollutant This] seems to be a list of California's TMDLs. |
|||
:#County history books. Nothing specific to link to, but I have yet to come across a county that isn't the subject of at least one or two local history books. They often go into detail on the more prominent creeks and at least mention many of the smaller ones. Since they tend to be public domain, they're easily available on Google Books, too. |
|||
:Other than that, I don't really know of much about references. I'd probably have to write a couple dozen articles to get the feel for what kinds of sources might be available. |
|||
:On the subject of layout, I typically have a layout of Course, <small>tributaries (subsection of course)</small>, Hydrology, Geography and geology, Watershed, History, Biology, Recreation, although if there isn't enough information for a full section, I typically merge some of the sections or leave them out entirely. --'''[[User:Jakec|Jakob]] ([[user talk:Jakec|talk]]) ''' 02:02, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |

::{{ping|Jakec}} Wow! This is ''incredible''! Thank you so much! I'll save all this information in my notes. I hope you'll be seeing some new Californian water articles in the near future. {{smiley}} '''[[User:Bananasoldier|<span style="color:green">Bananasoldier</span>]]''' ([[User talk:Bananasoldier#top|talk]]) 02:08, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |

=={{tl|coord}}== |

One minor point with regard to the use of {{tlc|coord}}: One needs to use the "name" parameter only if the name of the feature to which the coordinates apply is ''different from'' the title of the article. That parameter is used mainly for individual entries in list articles and the like. [[User:Deor|Deor]] ([[User talk:Deor|talk]]) 09:53, 2 February 2015 (UTC) |

::Yes. Like you, I had concluded that "north branch" was probably what the author of that book was calling the part of Newport Creek above its confluence with the South Branch (or maybe the part above its confluence with the Middle Branch, since he writes that the south branch "joins the main Newport creek"). It would nice to find some independent confirmation for the use of the name "North Branch", though. [[User:Deor|Deor]] ([[User talk:Deor|talk]]) 02:33, 3 February 2015 (UTC) |

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity[edit]
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
