Derivative highways

The definition in the category of derivative highways does not state that it includes highways that closely follow the same route of another highway, like the one's you listed. -- Earl Andrew - talk 01:46, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what the defintion states though. From what I gather, it generally means if a highway number comes from another highway number. i.e., it derives from it. -- Earl Andrew - talk 01:51, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm not confident on whether or not the definition listed is the actual definition for derivative highways, but as it stands, it does not mention anything about highways that have similar paths to others. -- Earl Andrew - talk 01:55, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you're certain that's what the actual defenition pertains to. -- Earl Andrew - talk 02:01, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Protection

I had User:RaccoonFox listed twice...one was supposed to be User:Raccoon_Fox...could that be protected as well? thank you. :) RaccoonFox • Talk • Stalk 02:06, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They're already protected. —Mets501 (talk) 02:07, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WereWolf?

Hi RaccoonFox i noticed from his old user page that you are friends with User:WereWolf and that due to vandalism of your user page he has now left Wikipedia. Now that WereWolf has left Wikipedia i can no longer contact him and wonderd if you had is email address or something. I would appreciate any help.

P.S. Furrys Forever! (I'm a fur too).

links to category pages in the encyclopedia proper

user pages are by convention not linked to category pages in the encyclopedia proper, just the Category:Wikipedians sub-category pages. Regards, Mayumashu 06:07, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Global highway

I guess my issue with the article is that it's too broad in scope, too vague about details, and fails to cite credible sources. When I read the article, I get the sense that there's never been any serious discussion about a proposal to link all the continents, and that the article is pure speculation. While I doubt the subject is worthy of an article, I would suggest splitting it into sections discussing each individual place where a fixed link has been built, or is proposed, with focus on logistics and the likelyhood of each. I would add sections on the 2 existing long distance Danish bridges, the Fehmarn Belt bridge, the Sicilian bridge, King Fahd Causeway, Qatar–Bahrain Friendship Bridge, Alaska highway (and proposals to link Nome by road), Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, the Java-Sumatra link proposals, and other relevant fixed links and proposals in addition to those already mentioned in the article. Finally, the article as it now stands needs to be cleaned up to have a more formal style, and corrected for spelling and grammar. Cheers. --Alcuin 21:42, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you've done a lot in such a short amount of time. Looks great, but be careful with accuracy (the Fehmarn Bridge isn't built yet). I think that Cosmopolitan Railway should perhaps be merged into Global highway since they are conceptually similar (it was the predominant technology, not the idea that changed). Plus, since the proponent of the railway was a US governor, it would lend more notability to the idea of a global transportation network. Anyway, nice work, and I plan to help expand it soon. I like the way you've got it shaping up. It'll be a nice jumping off point to articles about recent and future engineering marvels. --Alcuin 00:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya

Hiya "werefox"! uhm, you haven't been online on Yahoo! IM. I was just wondering why. ScreamAtMe 00:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(P.S. i got a new account)

The Time Has Come

I think i'm in the clear now. I'm requesting permission to bring my userpages down from Full Protection to Semi Protection. RaccoonFox • Talk • Stalk 00:28, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, all done. —Mets501 (talk) 00:40, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hilton Windsor

I have proposed this article for deletion; I also proposed the article on the Radisson for deletion, and (if you are interested) the entire category on "Churches in Windsor" and its contents. And a student organization and the student newspaper, which should be covered in the university article. I think these all fail to meet WP:Notability and also are basically directory entries, which Wikipedia is specifically not. If you disagree, please feel free to remove the "prod" tags and improve the articles to help show notability, or else argue on the talk pages that they are fine the way they are. --Brianyoumans 02:23, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How do you feel about the Radisson? If you want to keep that one too, I will AFD them both. If not, I can run the Hilton by itself. BTW: If you look at the Hilton Hotels article, you will see that there are very few "notable" Hiltons listed there. Do you really think the Windsor Hilton is that notable? One Hilton is kind of like another, mostly, I think. Brianyoumans 03:03, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, perhaps the article should be on the hole, and the controversy around it? I think an article on a local political controversy in a large city would be fine. --Brianyoumans 03:34, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of United States over-the-air television networks

I pulled the Spanish-language and Bloomberg listings from the tables, as they are not broadcast networks in the U.S. If they do have terrestrial affiliates, we can put them back up, and note as such, but to have them listed with blanks in the number of stations column is not a good thing, given the nature (and sheer size) of this list. --Mhking 18:49, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's cool - sounds good. I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, just trying to keep the thing from becoming even more unwieldly than it already is...--Mhking 18:54, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Following on, it looks like HITN is only on cable and satellite (they note this on their site at http://www.hitn.org/getting_hitn_en.php ). I don't see Bloomberg on the page you note, and at first glance, it doesn't look like HTV notes any local channels on their website (with my pidgin Spanish). --Mhking 01:45, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yahoo Messenger

Heya! my dad got rid of the yahoo messenger, and i can't email you cause i always get a faliure notice :\ and he said i couldn't download it again, so we'll have to talk on here, i guess. Stripes

What is that?

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #6

Re: Edmonton Tornado

Sorry to take so long to answer your message. I've had to remove the Edmonton tornado, mainly because the tornado did not directly cause damage to the downtown core. While the twister came no closer than about 5 km from downtown, this is still quite a distance from the east edge of the central business district at 97 Street. And according to the article List of tornadoes striking downtown areas, suburbs do not count even within city limits. The effects of even an F4/F5 tornado is fairly localized even at its peak. The Edmonton Tornado was no different and damage from the tornado was not recorded in the downtown core or even in the suburban areas immediately east of the CBD, so it shouldn't be re-added. The CBD got just heavy rainfall and hail at the time of the tornado and so these are not direct effects of a tornado. NorthernFire 20:28, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Webmessenger

Hey, my webmessenger wouldn't let me log in . . . i'll try tomorrow. WereWolf 00:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Webmessenger Down

I can't get the wbmessenger to open up . . . sorry. WereWolf 19:38, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Email

your email is slycooper1986, or is it just slycooper? cause when i try to email yas, it doesn't work, yo. ScreamAtMe 23:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Emporis.com

Raccoon, why have you still not dilligently went through your Detroit building pages and rewrote the Emporis.com facts are your own? Again, you're going to start seeing so many of your pages deleted because I'll nominate everyone of them. I wrote most of the facts for Emporis.com. If you're not going to change them or site the source, your pages are gone. --Criticalthinker 02:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: -verts

Sorry for the reverts, but it's mainly to keep things clean. In your listings for US channels in the MTL and Quebec City templates, it's unnecessary, as there are already links to the appropriate US markets. As for digital subchannels -- listing all of them in the infoboxes and the market templates are cumbersome and unwieldly; better off just listing them in the "meat" of the article itself. -- azumanga 05:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of Ontario county numbered roads

Shouldn't the Naming Conventions section be in the talk page rather than the article page? Advice on how to create articles may confuse non-editors who merely read WP articles. Dl2000 00:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ontario County Roads

I strongly disapprove the fact that you moved the original list of county roads into something like: Essex County, Ontario roads. This is because these county roads DOES NOT belong to the Ontario government (They belong to the counties since the counties pay for the roads' expenses), and should not name under Ontario. The title is misleading. Please further discuss the details of this issue with me.

P.S. I appreciate your enthusiasm of making Wikipedia a better encyclopedia.

--The Geography Expert 23:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Ontario County Roads

Thank you for your reply. And by the way, I typed one word wrong in my last message, and hope you can disregard it. Recently, I am working on all the county roads. How about you?

I also want to discuss with you about starting a WikiProject, (with your strong contribution, of course), and the WikiProject is going to be about writing all articles about county roads (stubs would be fine, we will fix that during the 2nd stage), and also about putting all county roads into a neat and organized format. Are you interested? Please tell me as soon as possible, so I can register/apply to have a new Wikiproject as early as possible.

P.S. If my language is a little bit heavy on the last message, please forgive me for doing so, for I think there is a better way to name all the categories (in a shorter form, but a better way)

--The Geography Expert 02:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you.

Wikiproject From Geography Expert

RaccoonFox,

I have a question for you. How do you start a WikiProject? (I haven't start one before). Please do provide some help. And by the way, I will not be on Wikipedia until tomorrow (December 2) at about 3:30 pm. So I will start my WikiProject then. Hope you are online at that time!

BEFORE I GO, please reply now, so that I could plan my time ahead. Thanks a lot!

ONE MORE THING, if you are interested what I am working on recently, check this out.

RE:Wikiproject

Thank you for your offer, RaccoonFox, but I prefer to establish the WikiProject myself. I will notify you as soon as the Wikiproject is established. Thank you for your help!!!!!!!

hi there

Hi, RacoonFox. I stumbled upon your userpage via werewolf's. I just wanted to say hello, and tell you how much I enjoyed reading all of your information. We seem to have a lot in common--first and foremost our love of userboxes. Have a look at my userpage if you get a chance, and feel free to copy any of the userboxes you like. I have made more than 12 of my own.

By the way, I am a member of the LGBT Project on Wiki, and perhaps you would like to join it, too. We are a friendly bunch (for Wikipedians, anyway) as well as a new group, and need more members.

Hope you're having a nice day, and that I hear from you. Jeffpw 08:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Years is a long time to go without having a nice day! Let's hope you can turn that frown upside down sometime soon! Anyway, I was happy to get your note, and I do hope you join our project. We're new, and there's so much work to do. By the way, Werewolf just joined a day or two ago. Jeffpw 23:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:BritishColumbia

I'm not quite sure why you added the communities you did under "Other Major Communities" in this template. When I redesigned it, I went by Statscan reports, and included communities there over 50,000. Otherwise, it just becomes arbitrary. Dease Lake, with a population of a few hundred, hardly counts as a major community, for example. Fishhead64 07:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Virginia State Route 234

In accordance with WP:USSH, place use the "State Route 234" form in text. Thank you. --NE2 21:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:W2XAB

The original text was:

W2XAB is an Amateur Radio Operator/Station license. The callsign has a long history in broadcasting as it was the orginial callsign of WCBS-TV.

so if you want to recreate it with more substantial content, including some indication as to its notability/importance, that would be ok by me. enochlau (talk) 22:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SFD notification

This message is to notify you that a stub category that you created (Category:Fox network stubs) is up for deletion at WP:SFD. Please join the discussion. Thanks. ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 17:32, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Directing Buttons

Hey Raccoon Fox,

Long time no see. I want to ask you that how do you make those directing buttons, and protect your page to new users. How can you do that?

-- The Geography Expert--Glad to serve you • Chat or discuss something with me • What I give This signature proofs that this discussion/article/section is official! 22:08, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

P.S. Ilovevancouver90909 and I already began massive work at our WikiProject, we have been massive overhauling pages and we have been creating articles about new regional/county roads. Please do join in with us.

Wikiproject Automobiles Notification

Hi RaccoonFox, you were on the list of members at WikiProject Automobiles and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.

To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting {{Wiki Auto Project}} where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add [[Category:WikiProject Automobiles members|RaccoonFox]] to your userpage.

If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure. Thanks for your time, James086^{Talk | Contribs} 04:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New Userbox creatd by Smcafirst

Hi RaccoonFox,

I made a new user box, it looks like this:

0	I am Wikipedian for0 years, 0 months, and 0 days ! on: September 13, 2024.

Put this following code onto your user page:{{Wikipedian Current Age}}

RE:Images of County Road symbols

Regarding the discussion you have left earlier at our WikiProject. I guess you do not live in York Region, and therefore you do not know how the signs look like. In York Region, the numbers are bolded, and REGION goes on top of the sign, while YORK goes at th bottom.
