6/27/10 service changes

Not realizing that you were already on it, I also created entirely new articles for the NYCT service changes, currently stored in my sandbox. However, the articles I did also have updated subway service changes in mind (i.e., the orange M and no G in Queens beyond Court Square or the W), as well as some more details. If it is possible to reconcile the articles, please do so.--AEMoreira042281 (talk) 05:47, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to reconcile the articles, but I will add the subway service changes to mine. You can do the Dutchess County LOOP changes though.Train2104 (talk) 22:21, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Connections deletions

Hello, why did you delete the connections sections on all the Metro North station articles such as Fairfield (Metro-North station)? Markvs88 (talk) 12:36, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's redundant with the info in the infobox. Train2104 (talk) 12:36, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, but you could've mentioned that in the edit summary. Thanks, Markvs88 (talk) 15:41, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

X-bus connections

Normally, for connections in the subway pages, only local bus routes are listed. Some of the connections, however, had not been updated and were erroneous. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 00:11, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did most of the local connections, although I did wonder why most of the Manhattan stations didn't show the MTA Bus express routes. (5 Av/53rd is the exception). Train2104 (talk) 19:45, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rewriting SEPTA Regional Rail articles

Personally, I think it sucks that SEPTA has changed the names of their regional railroad lines and gave them all one color. But aside from my personal feelings, I'd like to know if you plan to split the R-# lines and use the old designations in the articles. ----DanTD (talk) 23:38, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will do the S-line templates and station pages to match current service patterns. I will not be splitting/disambiguating articles, although that is the plan. See Talk:SEPTA Regional Rail. Train2104 (talk) 23:41, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I saw something about that, but I forgot where it was. Thanks a lot. ----DanTD (talk) 02:56, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Job queue

Hi - I think it was you, who I spoke to about template updates to the job queue, in the IRC help channel? If so, then I just wanted to mention that there is more info at Help:Job queue. If not, and you've no idea what I am talking about, then forgive me and ignore this. Cheers, Chzz ► 17:47, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was me. Thanks for the link. For "estimated job queue length" on the statistics page, what is the unit? Train2104 (talk) 18:00, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: SEPTA Regional Rail

You said yourself that splitting the lines is in the plan. However, I'm not the one who picked the names. Talk to User:Murjax. ----DanTD (talk) 01:11, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting is the plan, but we have to temporarily stop for some articles. The names were picked out on the RRD talk page, and I agreed to them and based all the articles on them. We need to get an admin to move the R-pages over the multi-edit redirects that I created and you edited. For the redirects that I created but you didn't chapterize, the process can continue. Had Chestnut Hill East Line (SEPTA) not been created, I would never had "ordered" the stoppage. Train2104 (talk) 01:20, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but can't we just rename Chestnut Hill East Line (SEPTA) as the more accuratley planned Chestnut Hill East Line? ----DanTD (talk) 01:29, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have to apologize for naming the Chestnut Hill article as I did. I wasn't aware that there was an agreement as to how these pages were to be dealt with. Next time please take discussions to the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains page. They will be seen by more people and mistakes such as this are less likely to happen. Now moving on, I don't see what the big deal is here. Only a few of the redirects have been chapterized. If you do it a certain way you can still simply copy the information on one train over to one of the redirects, then rename the original page for the other train. Let me propose an idea for each line.

1. Airport Line (SEPTA) has no chapters, simply move R1 (SEPTA) to the redirect.

2. Copy info on Warminster Line and paste in the Warminster Line redirect.

3. Move R2 (SEPTA) to Wilmington/Newark Line.

4. Copy info on West Trenton Line and paste in West Trenton Line redirect.

5. Move R3 (SEPTA) to Media/Elwyn Line.

6. Copy info on Lansdale/Doylestown Line and paste in Lansdale/Doylestown Line redirect.

7. Move R5 (SEPTA) to Paoli/Thorndale Line.

8. Copy info on Manayunk/Norristown Line and paste in the Manayunk/Norristown Line redirect.

9. Move R6 (SEPTA) to Cynwyd Line.

10. Move Chestnut Hill East Line (SEPTA) to Chestnut Hill East Line

10. Copy info on Fox Chase Line and paste in the Fox Chase Line redirect.

11. Rename R8 (SEPTA) to Chestnut Hill West Line.

Murjax (talk) 03:22, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is a good idea. 2 problems:

West Trenton Line is a disambig. The correct title for the page is West Trenton Line (SEPTA)
It will not be possible to move Chestnut Hill East Line (SEPTA) onto Chestnut Hill East Line unless an admin does it.

Also, why aren't the Center City stations listed in the station listings for each line?

Thanks. Train2104 (talk) 14:12, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, for step 4 copy the info on the West Trenton and paste it in West Trenton Line (SEPTA), and for step 10 copy the info on Chestnut Hill East Line (SEPTA) and put it in Chestnut Hill East Line. As for the station listings, I'm not sure why whoever made them forgot to add Center City. It's an easy fix though, so I say go ahead and split the pages first and then deal with the station listings afterwards. Murjax (talk) 21:39, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, go ahead. However, might we need {{db-histmerge}} for the Chestnut Hill East page? Train2104 (talk) 21:43, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, we will as there have been a few edits made since the page was created. Murjax (talk) 15:23, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm taking care of the Chestnut Hill East Line page move. I simply added {{db-g6}} to the page to reverse the redirect. –Dream out loud (talk) 15:37, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As soon as the page is deleted, immediately move the article!!! There will be hundreds of redlinks if you wait too long. Train2104 (talk) 16:25, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your CSD decline of Nicki Minaj Untitled Debut Album

I know that technically R2 is not for redirects to the WP namespace but I was incubating the article and the instructions at WP:INCUBATE say Any redirect left in articlespace at [[Example article]] must be tagged for speedy deletion as a cross-namespace redirect using {{db-r2}}. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:33, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CSD tagging of user space articles

I have declined your mass tagging of the test pages by User:Visviva and the redlinked redirects at User:Tothwolf/List of Internet Relay Chat clientsuser and User:PressedBack/Live Native. I declined the tagging of Visviva's as they are in user space and test articles are allowable in user space. As for the two broken redirects, while they are indeed broken and could qualify for CSD G8, user space articles are given a certain amount of leeway. I have declined them because I think it would be better if the editors in question maintain their own user space article. If they want the dead redirect to be deleted, they can request it be deleted from their user space. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:56, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rockaway Parkway

It is not the most famous road in Brooklyn, but certainly notable. I removed your prod. Take it to AfD if your must. Bearian (talk) 23:20, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Roundy's redirect

For an unknown reason the term "chairman bob" redirects to Roundy's. Until there is a good reason for this the redirect should be removed. It is such a vague and general term, and is being used in a demeaning and libellous manner by some. As such there is no encyclopedic value in this redirect.

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Joseph Robert Neil James

Can you reopen Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Joseph Robert Neil James? The previous page was deleted because the author blanked it, and today the editor recreated it with new but similar soapboxy content. I don't think I could apply the CSD for content deleted by a deletion discussion, since essentially the discussion was speedy closed before a consensus was achieved.

That, or I could just go block the user for disruptive editing but I'd kind of like to have at least a full run MFD on my side prior to that.

I can't reopen it myself because I am the nominator.

Talk:Milk snatcher

Hello. I've removed the {{db-talk}} tag from this page because it no longer applies. The page was recreated as a redirect following a discussion with the previous deleting admin who had no objection to it being recreated with a target to the section of the Margaret Thatcher article that contains the relevant informaion. The discussion is contained on that page. If you disagree please take it to WP:RFD. Thanks TheRetroGuy (talk) 19:56, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Pilar Geijo

Hello Train2104. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Pilar Geijo, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: apparently notable, I'll source and expand. Thank you. —SpacemanSpiff 06:00, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TFD/H

It would be great if you could help orphan these before removing them from the list [1]. I realize that they have already been deleted, but many still have transclusions since the closing admin didn't orphan them before deletion. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 14:46, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for notifying me, but they really shouldn't be deleted before orphaning them. Maybe have a bot that does it, like CfD does?—Train2104 (talk · contribs · count · email) 18:11, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Fastily actually deleted them without orphaning them, or dropping them in WP:TFD/H. After I discovered this, I listed them there to make sure the were at least eventually orphaned. I actually run SporkBot just for this purpose, so usually the holding cell is cleared fairly quickly. I have been extremely busy off-wiki recently, so I hadn't had a chance to get to run the bot yet. This is probably TMI, but thought I would let you know. In any event, thanks for your help. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 00:02, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Born in Ohio

I did not create the page; however, I moved the userbox on it to the correct namespace (template:born in ohio), Technically, the author did not request deletion (but it should be deleted for the reasons listed by me before you placed the db-author tag on it).

Barnstar

<<Barnstar moved to userpage>>

Thanks! Should I be tagging broken redirects in the userspace? As you can see above, admin Gogo Dodo apparently disagrees, but most admins active in the CSD process agree.—Train2104 (talk · contribs · count · email) 02:16, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CSD#G8 does not prohibit the deletion of userpages containing broken redirects. I don't believe there's anything wrong with what you're doing. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 01:40, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blatant religious advertising by 95.133.117.5 (talk · contribs)

"Delete Wikipedia is not a vehicle for promotion, be it of a product, service, or religion."

In this case you must delete atheism portal, as wikipedia thus seems to promote atheism, though it is just what you say this is not for. Or otherwise there must be Hare Krishna portal. There is no way that atheism portal should be allowed to exist and so many people defend it, and as for Hare Krishna portal - I see already around 10 people said - to delete: [2]

I already faced people who were against Hare Krishna, and I am not going to be like them anymore. So if you insist on deleting this - you must face consequences... I do not know about you, but if you say - wikipedia is not to promote religion... Then what is this??? If you do not like religion - anyway - it is your problem, your disease. So here is medicine. This Hare Krishna portal. Hare Krishna. I don't care about your frog philosophy. You may think materialism is something to be on wikipedia, and not religion??? Then you are like a frog which is thinking about ocean to be few times bigger than his/her pond... Thus materialist calculating, but you cannot know religion in this way. So you must accept authority, Vedas. Otherwise your future maybe subhuman. It is written so in Vedas - one who is against Vedas - he is punished to get lower birth - animal, plant... if he is very bad and against religion - he might be put into hell... And in certain cases - Supreme Personality of Godhead personally comes and kills such atheists who say here - no religion promotion on wikipedia... whatever you say - it is your so-called freedom. But actually real freedom is in spiritual world. Here is no freedom from birth, death, old age, disease. Materialists only have advanced in creating more dangerous weapons and only create more death, so how can I accept your words that there is no place of religion in wikipedia? I challenge you and others who say similar nonsense. And they must either shut up, or also become devotees and chant Hare Krishna. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.133.117.5 (talk) 19:56, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker)Please do not start spouting threats of hell-damnation to promote your religion. We are trying to write an encyclopedia, not a guide to the afterlife. Thanks. :| TelCo NaSp Ve :| 20:04, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. —DoRD (talk) 20:39, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
