Archive 1:User:Vegaswikian/2005_Archive

I see you have started to cleanup this article. Although I think the subject of the article is unencyclopedic (in any form whatever), here's a suggestion: Rather than do work that will likely be deleted by the AFD, you may wish to wait until the article is deleted, and then start over with a new article. That way your work won't get wasted. Cheers --Ryan Delaney talk 10:42, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're wrong

The links should not point to dis-ambiguation pages. The links to the lines themselves are after the codes. Georgia guy 00:31, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1951 Las Vegas pictures in need of a home

Judging from your username as well as your contributions, you might be just the person to talk to... I've been archiving family photos recently and discovered several interesting black and white pictures taken in Las Vegas in (most likely) 1951. These are of the Westerner Gambling House and Saloon, the Silver Slipper Saloon (apparently the original that prevented the later Silver Slipper from initially using that name), the Vegas Vic sign atop the Pioneer Club, and an oversized covered wagon emblazoned on its side with "ON TO THE GOLD RUSH" (I'm unsure if this last one was a landmark of any kind). Beyond the obvious History of Las Vegas, any suggestions as to where these might be appropriately placed? I am unfamiliar with the city both as a place and as a topic.

US/American television networks

Yeah...my vote was kind of ambiguous, wasn't it? I've edited it to clarify what I meant; I do support your proposal rather than Ronald's. Bearcat 23:21, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Television networks by country subcategories

Hi. FYI, I listed a bunch of categories for renaming and merging as you had proposed in an earlier WP:CFD. If you feel like voting, they're at WP:CFD#Television networks by country subcategories. Thought you'd like to know!  :) —Wknight94 (talk) 04:06, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Vegaswikian. Would you be interested in running for an admin? - Darwinek 22:12, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You were nominated. Just go here to accept nomination and answer a few questions. - Darwinek 11:48, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Casino Stubs

You don't think Harrah's Las Vegas is a stub? It does not list barely any history, nothing about the attractions. Plus no picture; Harrah's is major casino and it deserves more information. I work for Harrah's Entertainment so I will expand it, but it will take time and I would like to keep it as a stub until it is done justice. I did propose a similar stub already in the stub sorting no one said anything so I created this. If the stub sorting project has a problem with it they will do something. By all means please raise it to the stub sorting project, but you would just be waisting time. --Ben 22:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well there are a lot of pages out there that are not stubs that are marked then. Because what most people follow is not only the wording you quoted but also, "Another way to define a stub is an article so incomplete that an editor who knows little or nothing about the topic could improve its content after a superficial internet search or a few minutes in a reference library." This article could be improved by just going to Harrah's website. Maybe add some information on some of the attractions, or search and add some history, there is a lot of history on the property. --Ben 23:54, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

West Wing cats

Wow, I'm surprised no one spotted this in PR or FAC. Thanks! — Scm83x talk 08:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is one line that uses the {{fact}} template because no one can find a citation for the seemingly common knowledge that liberal generally like the show and conservatives don't. That's the one that's adding it. — Scm83x talk 08:28, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yea, good point. It should be obvious to the reader from the description that maybe liberal like the show and conservatives wouldn't. It really isn't encyclopedic... so good call! Thanks, and I hope to see you around again! — Scm83x talk 08:40, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations!

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia 00:06, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

more congrats from the crew at CFD! --Syrthiss 21:56, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

North American airline stubs

It was part of an attempt to get the * airline stubs categories to agree on using either <noun> airline stubs or <adjective> airline stubs. It looks like whoever ended the inconclusive discussion didn't bother to remove the sfd-c tags from the categories. Unless you want to revisit the matter at this time, just go ahead remove that tag from them. Caerwine Caerwhine 04:28, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re Redlinked discussion closing

Hiyas Vegaswikian. Yes, it looks like Tomf688 did indeed rename the category before consensus was determined, which I am going to go ask him about once I finish this message. I would say at this point hold off on the abbreviation expansion discussion until we can determine if there are objections to his recat, even though I noticed that all of the subcats are still marked with their CFR templates by you. All he did was upmerge the by state to Members of the US House of Representatives. FWIW, the discussion would have been judged a no consensus from the looks of it...but that still doesn't mean he can just go acting unilaterally. --Syrthiss 14:27, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How about it now, it was ok the version you changed it to. But it looked weird on some of the text. --Ben 16:52, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category renames for Members of the United States House of Representatives

Thank you very much for all your hard work on catching the U.S. vs. United States names in categories. Please be sure that no category becomes "United States Representative from foo" when it should be "Member of the United States House of Representatives from foo".

  • For example, Dennis Hastert is not a "United States Representative." He is a "Member of the United States House of Representatives."
  • On the other hand, Rob Portman is a "United States Representative" because he represents the United States in Trade negotiations. (Just to make things a little more confusing, Portman used to be a Member of the United States House of Representatives from Ohio.)

Speedy deletion

An interesting side note as to proper naming for some categories related to Parks and Wilderness areas is ongoing at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Protected areas, Standard format for protected area category names. I suggest that all protected areas by designated worldwide by the title of the protected area folled by "of" and then the name of the country. Likewise, for subcategories, eg: National Forests of Montana Before we speedy the wilderness category, lets all work on trying to identify what is the best naming system. Just a thought.--MONGO 03:03, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, not trying to be a jerk or anything...I personally prefer that the subject of the category be first followed by the location. Do you know the best way to tag all these areas so that we reduce ambiguity and ensure others see what's going on?--MONGO 03:53, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind...see you already did it...good job.--MONGO 03:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AirTran Airways

Agree it may not be written in the best way. However, technicalities aside, they changed their name after the crash because of the PR disaster, so we should find a way to reflect that. The article has been massaged to make it sound like a name change after a regular merger whereas the news coverage and executives at the time presented it clearly as the opposite -- a name change facilitated by a merger. Dbchip 06:19, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great work, thanks! Also, I reverted a chance by an anonymous user trying to massage away the airline's troubled history. I like your approach but regularly notice people trying to wash the past away for whatever reason. Dbchip 17:59, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE:IATA codes

Can you check to see that the code is either a redriect to the airline or an entry in the dab article when you add a new one? Vegaswikian 07:53, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, the ones I added seem to have redirects already or have entries in disambig pages. (Except SS which redirects to the Nazi terror group), the disambig is at SS (disambiguation)). Also I removed Horizon Air from 8C, I don't know why it was listed there if they have code QX. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:58, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
[1] is a good source if you want to find missing ones. Select airline code and then in the lower set of boxes enter a letter or number. Using the historic codes there it shows Air Horizon was asigned 8C so maybe someone got confused. 08:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Asahi Kasei

Hi thanks for speedy deleting Asahi Kasei, however the article is being recreated. I have PROD'D the article in the time being, but if you have a chance maybe look at it (it was rewritten a little) and the plea in the creators edit summary made me prod instead of re speeding it for being a recreation of a deleted article. If infact upon review you feel it was rightfully speedy deleted, please delete under G4, but the decision is yours as stated in the description for G4 speedy deletion. Mike (T C) 07:40, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOL way ahead of you. I actually found the answer on a wikipedia page and removed it. Thanks for double checking though! Mike (T C) 08:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Ross

You deleted an article titled "Sam Ross." You felt that I was writing about myself. This however, is not true. I have read about Sam Ross in newspaper and magazine articles. From these sources, I was able to compile enough information to write a breif bio of him. Please do not delete valid articles. It is qualified because of "A large fan base, fan listing or "cult" following"

Gokul Chatt

Hi thanks for speedying this article, can you close out the AfD for it tho? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Gokul_Chaat&action=edit&section=1. Mike (T C) 05:54, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

subst:Biography

I see you deleted the Julius Lester article while I was creating it. I've put it back now -- with content! -- but just so you know, WikiProject Biography's instructions for creating a new biography are explicitly to Add {{subst:Biography}} into your article page and save, and edit from there. So if you see a new template and don't give it an hour or two, that's probably what's happening. Now, admittedly that initial work could happen in a user space sandbox, but I was following the instructions of the Wikiproject in charge of the name space. If you find the method confusing, perhaps you should take it up with them and persuade them to change their doc? Thanks. Deborah-jl Talk 03:09, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know about the major edit template -- that's cool, thanks! And in the future I'll user my user space, but it would be great if they change the instructions. Deborah-jl Talk 03:19, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article/redirect should have been speedy-deleted initially. It is a vanity/fan-made neologism, which is specifically contrary to "Avoid neologisms". Further the consensus of the actual editors on Lost (TV series) is that the material was not appropriate there; all mention of "OMGWTFPOLARBEAR" has been removed-- there is no "merged" content to be redirected towards (nor will there ever be.) The article is the only contribution from a one-day user. None of those who voted on the AfD had ever edited any of the LOST articles, nor were any of the regular editors aware of the AfD-- thus the single day of voting on that AfD did not demonstrate any actual consensus. It would be a waste of time to RfD such silliness; it will be deleted. --LeflymanTalk 05:40, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd recommend nominating this category for renaming as you suggested on CFD. The result of your vote on Category:United States National Natural Landmarks was to merge. —akghetto talk 06:03, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Las Vegas, Nevada

You also deleted several factual errors/unclear statements of fact that I changed on the original page. I reverted those back.

The Pee Tanks

why did you delete my Pee Tanks Entry?

Hi, I saw a comment from you on this new user's talk page, but i could not find where the user removed a speedy deletion tag from any page, the history shows editing only one article. What page was it? (That article is a bit questionable, but I did some digging, it might be notable enough to pass muster... I added the ref she added but didn't format very well, plus more...) I watch talk pages, you can reply here. Thanks and happy editing! ++Lar: t/c 03:07, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • The speedy was removed on The white lady article. Vegaswikian 06:09, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Here is the user's contribution history: [2] and I am not seeing any edits at all against The white lady. In fact every edit I see is against Annie's road (an article I saw when doing a bit of RCP and subsequently took an interest in which is why I was looking at this editor's contributions and talk page in the first place)... Are you sure it was this editor? I thought contribution history would show all edits, even against articles that were speedy deleted, but I could be confused. My concern here is because of WP:BITE... when I suggested to this newbie that THAT article needed sourcing, they complied, and gave a good enough source that the article now I think passes notability, suggesting they mean well... that message, if invalid, might be a bit offputting. Thanks for straightening me out about this if I'm confused! Also, could you userify the speedied article to my userspace, I want to see if it's actually saveable... thanks for that too ++Lar: t/c 06:44, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • History for deleted articles does not show in the users contributions from the little I know. The article was basically a really stripped down verison of [3]. Vegaswikian 06:52, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • So it was a stub about a ghost story... That isn't necessarily a reason to speedy it, is it? You categorised it as "nonsense" but I'm not sure I agree with that categorisation being friendly or accurate. If the story is sourced enough (and I do find some other hits for it via Google: [4]) it's (possibly) notable as a story (just like this user's other contribution might be), regardless of the existance of ghosts. There is a Category:Weird NJ as you may or may not know. (note I do NOT believe in ghosts and have little interest in them myself but can see why notorious enough legends are notable enough for inclusion here...) So I think maybe this one should go through WP:PROD or even WP:AfD ++Lar: t/c 06:59, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy versus PROD

You were, I think, correct to change my tag from speedy, for which change I thank you. I suppose I concluded that since non-notable bios can be speedied (although I prefer to take them to AfD), so might non-notable building pages; this, though, as you noted, was more an advertising page. In any case, your change reminded me to use the PROD tag more often; I like the ideas behind its creation and I should do what I can to support its continued presence and expanded use. Joe 06:40, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Robber Barons prod

I am removing the prod pending discussion. The band's album can be bought from a number of major vendors, and the band itself will soon release a second album. Granted, the now-defunct article Rockefeller and the Robber Barons was NN, but The Robber Barons (band) have been reviewed in at least one publication (Earwax), which means that one magazine however small felt they were notable enough to present to their readers. Taken with the fact that vendors like tower records feel like the album is notable enough to keep in its inventory, I think this band is significant enough to merit a wikipedia stub. Turly-burly 23:40, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Olson

I'm sorry that I didn't write enough about Bob Olson to make it into a good article. I saw that the page had been requested for over a year, and I attempted to begin fulfilling that request by writing what I could find. Please note that, according to the deletion log page and request page, my stub was the closest to the request's notes. I would also like to make it known that I am not a newcomer to Wikipedia. I have been around Wikipedia longer than my account has been, and I have much more experience than the average user. I am also fully aware of user pages and their function, and if the information under "Bob Olson" was about me, I would have put it on my user page. Sorry again for writing about this apparently non-notable subject. Paradoxsociety 03:55, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vegas Metro (Harry Reid)

What is considered the Vegas metro? Searchlight is about 50 miles from Vegas and Harry Reid attended Basic High School (in Henderson). Michaelcox 06:24, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not trying to argue, so I hope it doesn't sound like it. According to the Las Vegas metropolitan area, Boulder City is usually considered part of the metro area.

speedy deletion: Michael Kight

The article on Michael Kight was not covered under Article 7 of the Speedy Deletion Critera, as Mr. Kight holds the important position of Principal of A.H. Hill Middle School. Additionally, you deleted the article a mere hour after the speedy deletion tag was added; as stated in the speedy deletion critera, "The word "speedy" in this context refers to the quickness of the decision making process and not the length of time elapsed since article creation." I wish to inform you that I do plan to restore the article, and I feel you should go through the proper channels if you wish to remove it, instead of simply removing it then and there. » K i G O E | talk 00:47, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, its true: I made a mistake, the article doesn't belong on Wikipedia, and Wikipedia users made that clear on the AfD page. However, in the democratic spirit of Wikipedia, that is the proper way to remove an article -- disussing it in a civil manner and voting. In my opinion, your simply deleting it -- wether justified or not -- was too rash an action. Again, I could be wrong, but thats how I felt about the occurences. » K i G O E | talk 02:27, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Normally, except for the fact that I included the {{hangon}} tag, and, while writing the response, the entire article was deleted. When you deleted the article, you stated that "no reason provided for keeping article. Clearly meets A7" whereas I included the {{hangon}} tag, which tells you that a reason is comming. Plus, giving less than an hour for a reason is, in my opinion, hardly sufficient. » K i G O E | talk 02:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Then why did you state that "no reason was given", when, as you said, this is not the case? Shouldn't the article have been put up as an AFD, and voted on, instead of one person (you) deleting it? I'm not fully familiar with Wikipedia's policy, so I may obviously be wrong, but I was always under the impression that thats how it works. » K i G O E | talk 02:47, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, hopefully it won't happen again (with me) as this was a sort of learning experience. I, honestly, feel that it could have been better handled, but I acknowledge that it wouldn't have to be handled if I had written an appropriate article in the first place. Despite what I might feel about what went down, I have to thank you for so activly contributing to this great resource and dealing with n00bs like me. » K i G O E | talk 02:58, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

California-Nevada Interstate Maglev

How does the article look now? For the record, the closing admin should look at the current article and the one that was there for the delete votes. Th reasons used for many of the early votes are, in my opinion, no longer valid. My guess is that in doing this, the result will be keep or at worst no consensus which results in keping the article. Vegaswikian 23:08, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you're right. It shouldn't be valid any longer because the article has been improved. I wish that IP user didn't ruin so many of the things I made this way. You can maybe ask ESkog to close it with a no consensus, or vote to keep it somehow. Usually, the closing admins are different than the opening ones. ESkog can be the closing admin; he works closely with me. --Shultz IV 23:16, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I beleive you were too hasty in your deletion of the article, it was too "speedy". I was able to get the picture right and before i was finished adding text it was gone. I wouldn't even have had time to add hangon. You just as easily could have made the article a stub for the maentime and then come back. I mean look at my user page I'm certainly not in the habit of creating an article as just a picture. --Larsie 17:17, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • that is completely false - there was a picture there, not to mention if you did the proper research (or just clicked what links here) you would see that hea is very notable and the article for a disease named after him is actually a featured article. don't be rediculous. and yes i made similar pages and was in the middle of doing a redirect. speedy deletion is meant to be an efficient way of monitering new article production and not hindering of the production of new articles.
  • I am sure you are familiar with this phrase "Administrators, remember to check if anything links here, the page history (last edit) and any revisions of CSD before deletion." as it is plastered to the speedy deletion announcement. The article is finished so if you would be so kind as to remove the template... thank you. --Larsie 18:17, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
