Okay, I didn't know that. Why would you use outdated numbers though? —Preceding unsigned comment added by XxTrillvillexX9 (talk • contribs) 01:14, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Atlanta

Thank you for your help tagging questionable statements in Atlanta. You specified on your most recent edit that: "this is NOT an exhaustive tagging". An exhaustive tagging would be appreciated, if you have the time. I would like to see Atlanta resubmitted for GA status. Your feedback is valuable, especially considering your contributions to other city articles.
Thanks again,

What does this mean?...

The residents of Billings eventually drove out the "evil satanist activists who would so swiftly force patriotic Americans into ascerbic fear"

UTA TRAX

Don't worry, I do to plan to write that section eventually, I'm just not quite sure how to go about writing it, and it's not on the top of my priority list at the moment. But I will write it, as that page has the potential to be very informative and well-written, and I hope to contribute to that. bob rulz (talk) 09:09, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Sure

Sure thing. I'll get to it very soon. Thanks! XxTrillvillexX9 (talk) 02:10, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Is this worth working on

Or will it get nuked you think? TIA --Tom 16:33, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Ha. I didn't know he had a story. Though I'm pretty sure that article will eventually get removed as nonnotable.--Loodog (talk) 02:17, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

International Centers of Commerce

Hey,

I noticed that you had voted for the deletion of the International Centers of Commerce template because you felt it was an advertisement. I just want to let you know that I have changed the text so that the template does not appear like an advertisement, but rather an informational template to tell people about the top 10 centers of financial flow. The template now does not show "Mastercard Worldwide" on it, but rather says source. I hope you will change your mind and your vote on the Templates for deletion: International Centers of Commerce

Kardashev Scale

Hi, recently the Kardashev scale entry has gone through some major reverts, I'd like to talk about the reinstatement of the material. I've looked around and have seen that you've made some major contributions to the article and are interested in it's progress. I feel we need to talk about the reverts and reinstatement and talk about whether either are justified. Talk:Kardashev scale If you could help or add your two cents I'd really appreciate it.

Peak oil & "New urbanism"

Hi, first off, I just noticed new urbanism today. I'm wondering about the section you deleted from peak oil: is your only issue with it that it mentions new urbanism? I tried to soften the statement about that "movement", and I don't think it's a plug (though maybe it belongs in the peak oil mitigation section more than the main article). I believe thre rest of the section is based on the writtings of James Howard Kunstler and others, so it's hardly OR. I do think some discussion of suburbs could go there (as I'm sure do those who wrote the section), so care to help flesh out what you would consider acceptable? NJGW (talk) 16:03, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

If there had been a single source in that section making the point it makes, I would have had no problem with it. But as it stands, it reeks of "I told ya so" from the Smart Growthers and New Urbanists, promising energy-profligate suburbs to be "slums of the future". Speaking of which, what is this quoting? There's no source saying it. There's also no guarantee a lack of oil, out of all energy sources, will strand our suburbanites.--Loodog (talk) 16:28, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

So if I cite one source from Kunstler you'd be satisfied that the section can stay? NJGW (talk) 16:39, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

As much of the section as appears in the source.--Loodog (talk) 16:43, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

And do you consider any mention of "new urbanism" to be a plug? In my opinion that's a bit extreme, as any mention of mitigation forms (as in hybrids, wind energy etc.) would be plugs by the same rational. NJGW (talk) 16:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I mostly see it as a plug because of the lack of sources, but also because the availability of one energy source is, at best, peripherally related to housing patterns.--Loodog (talk) 16:59, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I've added references to Kunstler's book on the subject, as well as a video lecture he gave at TED 2004. I also added other forms of mitigation so it doesn't seem like a plug for "new urbanism". I've moved this conversation to the Peak oil talk page. NJGW (talk) 18:46, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Cutting down Rhode Island Intro

Hey, not that I don't agree that the intro could use a little shortening, I'd just prefer it if you moved information from the intro to other applicable areas rather than deleting them outright. Namely, the fact that Rhode Island is the smallest state by geographic size and population, as well as the state with the longest official name, strikes me as something that should be kept in the article. If you could redo your revision so that information is displaced, not lost, that'd be great. Thanks. -CitrusFreak12 (talk) 08:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

WTF???

I just recieved a message from you about making inappropriate edits. I haven't made any edits what so ever to the page you said i had so i don't understand???

Student Village (Victoria University)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Student Village (Victoria University), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Student Village. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 01:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Student Village (Victoria University), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

G6 Housekeeping. This article must be deleted to make room for a clean page move.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 01:14, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Copy-and-paste page moves

The rationale you gave for contesting the speedy deletion of Student Village (Victoria University) is the exact reason why it SHOULD be deleted. The page was not moved. It was copied and pasted. You transferred the text, but not the edit history that comes with it. It needs to be moved. Please refrain from editing either page until the page you created is deleted, and Student Village moved to Student Village (Victoria University) as you intended to do. --Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 01:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Images tagged for deletion

I just wanted to let you know that I tagged three non-free images that you uploaded, Image:Waterplacetower.jpg, Image:Westinres.JPG, and Image:Waterplacecondos.JPG for speedy deletion per CSD1, as the Residences at the Westin is now complete and the Waterplace Towers are very near completion. I went out and took a few photos of the buildings, and uploaded two, Image:Waterplace Providence.JPG and Image:Residences Westin Providence.JPG, to use in place of the non-free ones. I apologize for the poor image quality... I will try and get some better ones to upload soon. Cheers, Rai-me 04:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
