[edit] Needs some advice on process

Hi. I need some advice about commenting on Wiki articles. Let me know when you have a minute?

[edit] Discussion with those who work on many articles

I've encountered a couple editors who have worked on a large number of articles. One, for example, strips a reference work, adds no additional information, does not tag the article. Another finds a series of closely related topics, does a Web search, and paraphrases in a couple sentences an article they find -- almost always without having an understanding of the subject matter.

In one situation apparently the editor has used sock puppets, reverts edits to their own articles with little justification, point blank refuses a request from another editor for mediation, etc. If an editor refuses to be "reasonable", what is the next recourse?

[edit] 399 to go

We are almost done, Category:Articles lacking sources from June 2006 is down to less the 400 articles to find references for. I would like to thank you for listing yourself as a volunteer at Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles and would like to take this opportunity to invite you to visit the project again and work on getting the last few articles referenced. We started with 5,572 and we are in the home stretch, please come and try to do a couple a day and we can finish it up in no time. Jeepday (talk) 02:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of tallest buildings in the United States

Nice work! Is that the next list you want to prepare for FLC? It would be nice to have a country tallest building list at FL, as currently there are only city lists. I have one question about List of tallest buildings in the United States, though. As you know, with lists such as List of tallest buildings in Las Vegas and List of tallest buildings in Dallas, freestanding structures are included. So, should we include the Stratosphere Tower for the main US list? Cheers, Raime 20:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Now I'm sorry for my late reply... I have also been fairly busy. Alaskan assassin has developed a pretty good method, IMHO, for including free-standing towers in lists - include them where they would be located based on official height (as they currently are in all but the US list), but do not rank them. What do you think? The only US lists that would be affected would be Seattle, Las Vegas, Dallas, and the main US one, as well as Canada's Toronto list.
I agree about improving Skyscraper to FA, but it isn't really related to an FTD focusing on US tallest buildings lists. But it would be a great initiative to undertake anyway. I agree that "free-standing skyscrapers" is fairly poor wording; towers that sahre one base seem to always be ranked as separate buildings, even in cities as small as List of tallest buildings in Tulsa (CityPlex Towers and Boulder Towers). NYC and (especially) Hong Kong should not be exceptions.
A taskforce (or perhaps just a drive, taskforces seem to be more like "mini-WikiProjects" - see WP:TULSA) would be a good idea. But, I am still fairly confused as to how you actually obtain the coordinates... And a side note, the FTD is now officially half-way done, with 12 out of 24 lists featured. Hopefully Houston and Jersey City will become featured soon, with LA, Seattle, and the US one not far behind. This lengthy FTD may finally be beginning to "wrap up"! :) Cheers, Raime 03:16, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I as just searching for photos on Flickr, and I found this freely-licensed image of a Hydro-Québec line. Do you think it would be in any way useful for the article? These are also all free images that could be used to depict the 1998 ice storm, but I don't think any are really relevant to Hydro-Québec power lines perhaps this one?).

[edit] NBA Stuff

I'll contact the main co-editor of the newsletter, and add that info in there, and see what I can do myself with all those articles. NBA.com has a complete history of the games, and it's pretty easy to get all the info. Among other things with WP:NBA that need to be done is List of transactions involving the Dallas Mavericks. It is an incomplete list. Happy editing. Basketball110 03:56, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Both are fine. For the transactions list, I use ESPN. For the game scores, I use NBA. Basketball110 21:32, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:30, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UAA

Please only use WP:UAA for real username problems that require an immediate block. User:Yomama 365 is not in danger of offending anyone just through their username. You can read the username policy for more details about the username process. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 02:58, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

No, that doesn't concern me at all. I know what a mother insult is, but am I supposed to think he's referring to my mother... and get so offended by the completely unspecified insult that UAA needs to get involved? Do you expect anyone to think that? I really think that even the talk page message will be unnecessary, because nobody is going to actually be offended. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 05:30, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] project tagging

Thanks for doing a bunch of dabproj marking. What list were you working from. I put together some lists of suspected dabs that may need tagging - not a sophisticated attempt at completion - and have been working them off and on. You hit a lot of my suspects, but I was wondering if there was not a more formulaic way of doing this. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:43, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Barr now redirect, not dab

I saw you added a {{DisambigProject}} tag to Talk:Robert Barr. [1] Robert Barr used to be a dab, but now redirects to Bob Barr,[2] with Robert Barr (disambiguation) handling the dab. I'm now wondering what the appropriate tags on Talk:Robert Barr are. Because it's a redirect, and not a dab, should the {{WPBiography}} tag be changed? And similarly, what are your thoughts about the DisambigProject tag you put up? -Noca2plus (talk) 16:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks HI. Hey -- Redirect isn't a listed class for {{WPBiography}}. How'd you figure that out? I'm a Tiësto fan too. -Noca2plus (talk) 04:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I don't know about the code for WPBiography either. I was going off the documentation for that template, which only listed FA, A, GA, B, Start, Stub, Dab, Template, Cat, and NA. Did you see that someone else thought NA was preferable to redirect? diff. Honestly, I'm just trying to figure out how this all is "supposed" to work. -Noca2plus (talk) 03:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Equitable Building

Hydrogen Iodide, I was wondering if you have any ideas about the title of a to-be-created article. Equitable Building was built in 1892 and is considered the first skyscraper in Atlanta. It was demolished in 1971. There is already an article for the 453-foot Equitable Building in Atlanta that was built in 1968: Equitable Building (Atlanta). For the 1892 building, I proposed the name Equitable Building (Atlanta 1892) and Alaskan assassin came up with Equitable Building (demolished). Do you have any ideas? Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 21:45, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I thought you would like to know what the consensus is for the title: Equitable Building (Atlanta 1892). --Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 00:53, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
