I-35E and I-35W

Thanks for splitting these. Now we have a separate article for every current Interstate. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 07:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to help out! Besides, I drove 35W enough when I lived in Waco—it was the best route to DFW Airport—that I had to help out on that road. C.Fred 15:33, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Endurance

Hey there

I was just gonna ask either Maden himself or Chris the winner from Season 3 since they both have blogs on myspace.com but found out that Vanetta was removed due to injury. I better put that in. Tom ended up being the first person to go to temple by himself.

Hope this helps y'all.

Capital Beltway Sign

This is now reflected by an update to the sign, but sorry I screwed that up in trying to fix it. I'm slowly learning this editing process. But yes, I believe the license would be "Copyrighted, free to use for any purpose" unless you see otherwise fit.

Capbw_2.gif: "This image was created by Bruce at www.pghbridges.com (http://pghbridges.com/hsotw/), and has allowed this image to be uploaded and displayed on Wikipedia. This is the Capital Beltway shield displayed under (most) I-495/I-95 shields along the Capital Beltway."

Yep, here is the exact email from him himself.

Hello, I was just asking if it would be okay with you if I put the Capital Beltway sign you made onto Wikipedia (for inclusion to the Capital Beltway article) and of course credit you or your site with it. Thanks,

Bobby H

Counters

I use Kate's tool to get the number of edits I've made. Then when I reach a milestone I go to Special:Contributions and figure out which edit the milestone was. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:21, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion.

Can we get some consensus in Talk:Interstate 95? I know I'm still fairly new here, but SPUI and I need some help. Thanks. MPD01605 22:26, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In Canada, they're starting to air Season Four but they're still showing seasons one and two on some channels. Freddie 01:05, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I-95 exit list

Have you even looked at the articles like Interstate 95 in New York? --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 23:07, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I linked directly to one of them on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I-95 exit list. What more do you need? --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 23:12, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In which browser did the TOC and length table overlap? It works fine for me in K-Meleon and IE. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 23:34, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's meant to have totals, but I'd like to verify several states against their data, as well as get a more precise figure for Maine, before adding totals. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 03:19, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uggh- either report to WP:AN/I (where we have a SPUI section) or WP:RPP. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:40, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reason why blocking him would be better- he's been subject to a ArbCom ruling and probation (see the WP:AN/I) and if we protect the page we can't edit it? (Well I can since I'm an admin, but still... )--Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting vandalism

Thanks for your vandal revert... just so you know it's good to put {{test1}} on their user talk page to warn them. If there is one, then there's {{test2}}. They do it enough, they get blocked. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:18, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I commend you as well for your vandalism fighting efforts. --69.232.218.27 05:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question

I'm sure if I searched long and hard enough, that I could find the answer. But where would one go in order to lodge a complaint against another user? I'm sure I don't need to mention that it's SPUI who clearly doesn't obey any rules, regulations, or even care what anyone else says. That's what I feel is the problem, that there's no real hierarchy stated anywhere, like finding admins related to the article in question (in this case, I-95 exit list which I worked hard on and created almost all the state shields). If you could just point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. --MPD01605 22:58, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:AN/I, we have a) a section on SPUI's behaviors there, b) a section regarding the blocking of two of the valued roads contributors, and c) a section on his mass CA page moves. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:21, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input to my fledgling entry (a word definition), I will wait and see if it can go over to the wiktionary, and then possibly see how it fears over there. As you can tell I have just begun my wikion journey goodwinzz 07:49, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Med Cabal

Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-03-12 U.S. Roads has been opened. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, some were calling for RFC and ArbCom... but I think that's too much and could backfire. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 06:01, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pi?

Wow. On your edit counter, it says that your average edit per page is 3.14 (pi). Did you intentionally plan this or is it just a coincidence? Freddie 03:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NC routes

Anytime. I'm making shields on a need-to-make basis. I've also started three articles, if you'd like to check them out: NC 100, NC 86, and VA 86. I also created those stub templates, I just have some issues with them and the pictures, so that's why they're on top and not the bottom. If you need any shields, let me know. They'll be .PNG files until I take time to learn how to make .SVG's. Perhaps we should start a North Carolina and Virginia State Highway WikiProject? But yes, thank you. --MPD01605 22:46, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Prod2

Wow, I had no idea there was a prod2. You're the first editor I've seen use it. :p --TheKoG (talk|contribs) 20:22, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Ball live on the PAT in High School?

I don't know if Texas and/or Louisiana allow this, but I know that Alabama does.


I know that when I was in High School (in Alabama), in the mid-late 90's it was allowed, the rule may have changed since. The AHSAA doesn't have the Rules Book online.

Are you a Phi Kap?

Just curious. I'm a Phi Kap alum from Indiana University and saw your edits to the fraternity's article. If so, I've got a template set up for Phi Kap Wikipedians you can use with {{User phikap}} -- Mkamensek (talk) -The LeftOverChef 14:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

I think I might leave it there just in case the author wants to make a case for its undeletion.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 06:23, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discuss or send message as to why article was nominated for deletion when I have valid scientific, cultural, points. I don't see a need to use an encyclopedia. Some of my sources may contain references to many sources which is why I use them. [1] There are some other sources that I haven't gathered yet, I don't believe my article should be up for deletion. Someone on the Anklet page before I managed to edit it, wrote that the clining sound of anklets attracts attention. Thanks for replying though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anyuse200 (talk • contribs) .

Interest representation: Academic overview

This article will hopefully soon contain all the requested information. We are trying to set up this article with a larger group. Unfortunately, this takes some days. B.kant 14:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for catching my mistake on the Zeta Phi VFD page. Yes, I meant Beta Theta Pi. --TommyBoy 16:43, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IKR1

I've been unable to explain to IKR1 (talk) why his article creations are inappropriate. I've pointed him to WP:N several times but he either does not understand this, has not read it, or does not think it applies to him. He's created a number of non-notable articles, one of which has failed AfD, one which was speedily deleted, another which is going to, and several which have been PROD'ed. But he keeps creating new articles. Could you have a shot? I'm not getting anywhere with this user. I suspect he's just stopped listening to me. --Yamla 22:40, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Of course, if IKR's films are notable, he should definitely be allowed to keep them. Well, at least, someone other than IKR should be allowed to write articles about them. Heck, I'd even be happy for IKR to write an article on them. I fear, though, that his current films are more likely to receive a cease-and-desist letter from the copyright holders than for him to achieve widespread fame. That's not a legal threat, mind you. He at least has a case for parody. And I really do wish him fame and fortune in the future. I've seen M. Night Shamalan's (excuse the spelling) early stuff and it was no better.  :) --Yamla 03:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

FSU Scholars Program

Hello Cfred!

You removed my prod from FSU Young Scholars Program. Another editor suggested in his edit summary that this program may not be notable and I couldn't find any policy on this so I started a discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy). I'd appreciate your insight. --JChap 03:26, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Second prod for BM titles

How did you know there had been a previous prod for Brokeback Mountain titles? Just checking the edit history, or is there an easier way? I didn't think to check if there had been a previous one when I did it earlier. eaolson 17:05, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I was just hoping there was a less tedious way. eaolson 17:30, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Second prod - Enaction, dicdef and a new user

C. Fred, I noticed you put a second prod tag on the article Enaction, written by Sankazim, a brand new editor. (I track the new users I welcome for a few days afterwards). The original tag's message: "This is a dicdef article that attempts to define a concept and fails" may be puzzling to a new user, especially the "dicdef" part. Also, while I think the article is both roughly written and a little jargony, it does go beyond being just a dictionary entry since it also describes research on enaction. New contributors sometimes need coaching; also they can get discouraged if they see their stuff shot down for what they think of as obscure reasons. You and/or Erik the Rude might consider coaching Sankazim a little on the talk page as to what you're looking for. I think it's better to improve articles with potentially useful content than it is to just delete it.

Regards, --A. B. 03:36, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your recent edits -- thank you -- you are clearly a gracious gentleman and a scholar! --A. B. 04:50, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I-85 south at I-285

According to this photo taken January 17, 2004, 95A is east and 95B is west. Has it changed since then? --SPUI (T - C) 11:26, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The strange thing is that [2] does have 95A west and 95B east. --SPUI (T - C) 01:52, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your explanation does make sense though - hell, maybe the contractor installed them wrong to match the old ones. --SPUI (T - C) 01:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2010 FIFA World Cup qualification article

I've done some work on the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification article. I've basically deleted the crystal ball stuff that was in the article. If you think it's satisfactory, then you can take down the tag. Kingjeff 05:17, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can we safely assume that Conmebol (South America) will use a league format for their qualification like they did for the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification? Kingjeff 13:15, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pseudo-Christian Cults in the United States

Yes, I think it does meet criteria for an attack page. I don't know why I was so hesitant to put it on there. I have just done so. Thanks for the prompting, perhaps I just needed someone else to agree with me. Ifnord 23:53, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mario Milano prod

On your prod2 on Mario Milano, you questioned him retiring at 17. Actually, 17 is when he made his debut. It's tough to tell by looking at the article, but if you go into the edit page, you can see the way the editor intended it to look with the 17 being more clear. Don't worry though, I thought the same thing as you did when I tagged it as {{db-bio}} until I noticed the debut thing when I went to edit in the tag. Metros232 14:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aurish Language

Hi. I see you added a {{prod2a}} tag to the Aurish Language article. The author has "improved" it and reflected your concern that there was no stated population of speakers by adding a statement that the number of speakers is "unknown, though expected to be extremely few" and removed the prod tag. As such I think it's still NN and probably just a vanity article of dubious, if any, encyclopædic value, so I've taken it to AfD, If you'd like to add to discussion there. Regards Tonywalton  | Talk 10:25, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Look, I'm not trying to "advertise" anything. I maintain pages about the Interstate system that are relevant to the respective Wikipedia articles, and as such, I feel there's no valid reason they shouldn't be included in external links sections. If my material wasn't relevant to the article, I wouldn't link to it -- simple as that.

I really ought not have to fight to have relevant, valid external material linked to from here. Honestly, if you have a problem with my material being added, you ought to have the same problem with most of the external links on Interstate pages -- and if you don't, that sort of indicates you're picking on me. --Larrysphatpage 07:29, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Third person

I was referring to the subject and author of the article referring to himself in the third (he/she/it/they) person in this edit, not to anything you wrote, I apologize for the confusion. Mak (talk) 03:36, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher whatever his name is

Of course it's a hoax. I find that an administrator usually notices these things on AFD and deletes them within a day of the AFD launch. It shouldn't be too long and should be deleted before the PROD thing would've gotten it deleted. Mad Jack 00:04, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your near-vandalism on Diane Kunz

You can disagree with me as to whether a non-admin close of the AFD is justified. You can't just wipe my comments off the Afd and restore the vandalized text of the article. That's close to vandalism, and probably crossed the line. Why don't you just withdraw the AfD, since your comments were based on the vandalized form? There's zero doubt she's WP-BIO-notable as a published author and a news subject. VivianDarkbloom 20:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher Kowasomething

See, I told you. He is now deleted, only a day or so after the AFD. :) Much faster then PROD. Mad Jack 21:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
