[edit] Dingman

Dingman's Ferry is still a toll crossing. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:43, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Southwest Vacations

Okay, I've been watching the revert fest on the Southwest Vacations link on the Southwest article. I'm curious what is your rationale for removing it? It is part of Southwest is it not? —Cliffb 00:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough -- perhaps in future removals that could be cited -- I doubt the links are being added out of malice, just a lack of understanding why it isn't there.. —Cliffb 02:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boston, Ontario

Boston, Ontario is not a hoax. It is listed as an unincorporated area in the Atlas of Canada http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca -- TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 16:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] njsr succession boxes

The njsr succession boxes are not needed for any New Jersey state routes with an infobox, as the data is already at the bottom of the infoboxes. Alansohn 04:25, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New baseball article improvement drive

Greetings fellow WikiProject Baseball member! Just a quick note: there is now an article improvement drive just for baseball-related articles at WP:BBAID. Please take a look and vote on an article or add one of your own. Once an article has been agreed upon, feel free to stop by and lend a hand in getting it to featured article status. Hope you can participate! —Wknight94 (talk) 01:54, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CSD

Please note that lack of notability isn't a CSD for businesses. You've gotta use prod and afd instead. Regards, alphaChimp^(talk) 04:07, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] If you don't know the theme from Zorba

Verify it first. Then go to a Yankee game or listen on the radio. You will hear it every game. Chivista 19:42, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Robot curfman

I was just taking a look at this article, and was trying to figure out if there was a speedy category that would be appropriate. I see nothing in the article that is salvagable, and it does not even qualify as a webcomic, since he says the website is not up yet. No notability, and not a well-written article. It's a pity that some people can't tell the difference between Wikipedia and MySpace. ---Charles 05:02, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I didn't see any speedy category either and that's why I prodded it. If it gets deprodded, I will take it to Afd. Michael Greiner 05:07, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought about db-nonsense, but I really think that one gets used in places where it is not truly appropriate, so I erred on the side of caution. A prod works, and I have a feeling, nothing will be done with the article until the time comes that it is deleted. Just a hunch. ---Charles 18:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: James Jackson Jarves

If you check the contribs of the article creator, he/she builds articles about past people/authors/books. The article's name is listed as being part of a book in another article this person worked on. I was going to tag it csd bio but just left it on my watchlist. That's when I saw your tag.

[edit] GSP shield

Please see our fair use criteria, specifically number 8: "The material must contribute significantly to the article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text) and must not serve a purely decorative purpose." The use of the GSP shield in the infobox does not do this. --NE2 22:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Up from Jericho Tel

I deleted the prod because I found some more info on the book including that it won at least two awards. The author, mentioned by the article's writer in the talk page but not in the article itself, has also written several books. So, it seems notable to me and not some random page. Look at my changes and if you still think it should be deleted, please put it up for discussion.

[edit] Southwest Airlines Flight 1763

Hey Michael - the reason I deleted "In their own defense" in the Southwest Airlines article is because of the NPOV policy of letting the facts speak for themselves. I think "In their own defense" is actually redundant and slightly editorializing in this context. Cheers --Matt 20:58, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Plus, I think the sentence is tighter without it. --Matt 21:01, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

The sentence wasn't the best I agree, but the three cites support that the death was caused by actions of the passengers in self defense and that is not clearly explained by the sentence. Reading the article, it could be inferred that he died from injuries occurring when breaking down the cockpit door, not from other passengers. Michael Greiner 21:36, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
