Delaware Turnpike

I see that you deleted my note on "shunpiking" (thanks for the new word, by the way) the toll. So...does Wikipedia have an agreed policy of omitting this information? If so, please point me to it. If not, I will restore the info.

My take is that the information on the toll bypass is relevant and useful, and it offers people a totally legal alternative to paying an incredibly outrageous toll. I have spent so much time backed on that road on holiday weekends just because of the queues to pay the toll.

My account

I know that recently you, Rschen7754, have deleted my account, which was: I'm gonna headbutt ya!. I know now why I was banned from editing, the username, correct, so if you or another administrator could un-ban me I will change the username within a week of you letting me edit again. I cannot request a new username at the moment because I cannot edit the request for new username page. And don't worry about me also not knowing what the other policies were, I read them all while I was banned. Anyway, this matter is semi-important. Oh, and if you're looking or have looked at this IP adress's previous posts which are all mostly one sentence saying nothing useful, that is my younger sister messing up wikipedia. If you want to know what username I will want to change into, it's "A High School Student", that is okay right (I'm not sure if it's too long, but if so I'll cut it down or change it slightly)? P.S.- It doesn't matter too much to me, I do have a busy life

Please log into your account - I have unblocked you. Promptly go to WP:CHU and request a username change, and a bureaucrat will take care of it. --Rschen7754 (T C) 20:03, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have, and I'll just wait I suppose, but one question, will the name just change as I log in or, how will it work? Just asking. --(Hopefully) former I'm gonna headbutt ya! Oct. 17
If you are logged in when the change occurs, it should change right away. If you are not logged in, you will not be able to login under the old account; you will then need to use the new account name and the same password. --Rschen7754 (T C) 23:41, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I CAN'T PUT *A High School Student* IN THE REQUESTED USERNAME AREA! A High School Student was already taken, so I only changed it to this. But I can't put it in the requested username area because then it just goes here- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&limit=1&username=*A+High+school+student* ...What should I do (check the username changing page to see for yourself) --Death, the sanctuary for the forsaken-Stark 15:39, 20 October 2009 (UTC) (Plus, there is no policy for signatures, right?)
Just pick another username? --Rschen7754 (T C) 16:13, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA reviews

Hello, please review the edits of User:Mayor of Gotham City. It appears that this user passed several WP:GA articles without being properly reviewed. Thanks, Postoak (talk) 21:54, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It appears it's already been reverted. --Rschen7754 (T C) 00:06, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Recent ANI Kerfuffle

I noticed the recent WP:ANI discussion regarding your block of an inappropriately named user account. In contrast to the vocal criticism you recieved there, I would like to commend you for your work in general, as well as for that specific action. Borderline usernames are clearly deprecated under current consensus policy, and the local majority at ANI in no way overrides that policy. You have shown good judgement and common sense in this matter, and I regret that you were the subject of such WP:POINTY criticism. Wikipedia needs courageous administrators such as yourself. Best wishes on your future editing, —Finn Casey * * * 06:04, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the comment, and for your comments at ANI. (I am aware of a few certain users that slam admins whenever there's a few users criticizing them, and I guess I'm not surprised it happened to me.) --Rschen7754 (T C) 06:12, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NC 87

Hey, Rschen7754, I recently was on the NC Highway-87 page, and made an edit. I changed East Mountain Drive to Owen Drive. I assume it was you who changed it back, so I re-edited it again from East Mountain to Owen Drive.

I, myself, personally live in Fayetteville, NC. I take highway-87 all the time. The city recently got rid of East Mountain Drive and changed it to Owen Drive. Owen Drive turned into East Mountain Drive.

If you need proof of this, I will send you a picture of the highway-87 exit 100 sign.

contact me...because I think (Personal attack removed) for changing someone's edit and not checking out the legitimacy first.

Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by ThomasLOwen (talk • contribs) 15:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have to use a reliable source. See WP:RS. Also, this looks really bad since part of your username is Owen. --Rschen7754 (T C) 20:03, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: TFA

What would that be, about 11 months, 2 weeks since promotion? Not bad. In fact, I think that might be an improvement. Thanks for the congrats! —Rob (talk) 20:48, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Erasing cities that passes Interstate 40 in California

why did you erase cities that passes Interstate 40 in California? Why did you? I added Dagett, Newberry Springs, Ludlow, Essex; I didn't add Barstow, California. Please put back those cities again or otherwise I will do it. In Interstate 40 in California Barstow is not that major city in that freeway it is Needles. People will think that the city in that highway is still Barstow. Please add unincorporated cities too. 75.141.100.115 (talk) 20:37, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that you messed up the table when you did it. You caused the columns to become misaligned. Please be careful, use the Preview button, and watch what you are doing. --Rschen7754 (T C) 20:39, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(→Road article infobox images: so this isnt unassessed)

This edit made to my talkpage is unclear. Is is a point? ThanksDjflem (talk) 16:48, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I untranscluded {{U.S. Roads WikiProject}} so that it would stop showing your user talk page in the unassessed category. --Rschen7754 (T C) 20:00, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

For catching that vandalism on my user page. At a guess I would say it was the return of User:Vidak2, who was actually the banned User:Skoojal. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:38, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Arbcom questions - question 8

Have answered all of yours bar 8 - when you say "borderline username", do you mean one that appears to be provocative? Fritzpoll (talk) 19:40, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but that not all editors necessarily agree that it is provocative. --Rschen7754 (T C) 20:11, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks - sorry for asking, but want to be sure I answer your questions appropriately Fritzpoll (talk) 20:22, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Would an answer of "It took too long." to your first general question be sufficient, or are you looking for something more? AGK 21:01, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I can't exactly say, but typically short answers do not reflect well on the candidate. --Rschen7754 (T C) 21:38, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your evidence

Per this discussion, it appears that Ottava Rima did not accuse Davemeistermoab of plagiarism. When Peter Damian did an FAR-like review that pointed to grammar issues, Ottava reminded Peter that poor grammar was not a salient factor in RFA and asked Peter to look for plagiarism instead. What Ottava Rima accused Davemeistermoab of doing was original research. Durova363 15:36, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See Arcayne's comment in that section for why I mention it there. --Rschen7754 (T C) 17:43, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your arb question

You asked: "What is the appropriate role of outside criticism: a) Should all discussion of Wikipedia remain ON Wikipedia, or is it acceptable that some occur off Wikipedia?"

Wikipedia contributors obviously have no control whatsoever about whether and how outsiders criticize Wikipedia, and what Wikipedians think of outside criticism by non-Wikipedians matters exactly squat. I wonder if you really meant to ask to what extent participating in outside criticism is compatible with being an active WP contributor, or something like that. If so, maybe you could modify your question for clarity. 69.228.171.150 (talk) 00:49, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did not ask that question. You asked the wrong person. --Rschen7754 (T C) 01:06, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, thanks. Question was from Lar. 69.228.171.150 (talk) 01:19, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
