[edit] Viimsi Staadion
Please go through the WP:MM procedure, when merging articles. And also, don't forget to fix double redirects when you do. Cheers! BanRay 09:55, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Indy Sports
Yeah I guess I didn't even think about that template. Wow all that work for nothing. If you would be willing to merge I'd really appreciate it (I'm in the middle of getting Sports in Indianapolis working). Thanks for pointing that out to me. HoosierStateTalk 01:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Nevermind I took care of it. HoosierStateTalk 02:14, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Stubs
Hi, I can see where you are coming from with your request but as you say some claim that all places are notable which i feel they are and think that if the stubs are not created it doesn't give anyone the opportunity to expand on them. I am happy to create a page for villages in Hampshire or edit an existing one i just feel it would be better to create individual articles on each village. Cheers DewsterMy Talk 17:32, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- Ok i will take my time to create a list and leave a foot note asking others to create articles on the places if they have sufficient information to meet the quality standards you speak of. =] Cheers m8 DewsterMy Talk 17:52, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Union Junior - Senior High School
I refer to the speedy deletion and prod templates that you placed on this page. Firstly, you did not notify the author as you are asked to do on the template. This is particularly important with pages created by new users who may not have got a handle on the Watchlist concept. Secondly, as explained at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, schools are exempt from speedy deletion on grounds of notability. Finally, there is already an article at Union High School (Modoc); it is always worth checking to see if a page is a duplicate, first. HTH. TerriersFan (talk) 02:02, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for reminding me that schools aren't covered by CSD, though I strongly disagree and I believe that CSD schould be expanded. Some people are getting really rediculous in declining SD candidates when it is obvious that they will be deleted. I did in fact search for a possible redirect, but none could be found with WP's search. Also, I kindly refuse to notify the creator as we have a very useful bot who does that for us, User:BJBot. Reywas92Talk 02:10, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- The bot doesn't notify speedy deletions. In any case, I think a personal notification to new users is a courtesy that should be encouraged. Many good editors start out by creating a page on their school. Even if the page gets deleted, how the matter is handled may well determine whether that editor stays or leaves hurt.

[edit] List of Indiana state symbols
As long as you don't mind I'm going to nominate the list for List of the day. I think it looks great by the way. I'll come back and let you know when voting starts so you can vote for your list :). HoosierStateTalk 21:02, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- It's up now, I believe voting starts in March for April lists. Currently there's voting for March's lists, if you want to pick your top 5, there's 2 Indianapolis related lists up for nomination. HoosierStateTalk 21:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Congrats the list was selected as a List of the Day for April. Do you have a date preference for when it will be featured? HoosierStateTalk 15:17, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 05:11, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wonston Redirection, Why
Hi, you redirected the article Wonston to City of Winchester which in my seemed rather pointless as now if some one places the link [[Wonston]] in an article intending it to take anybody clicking on that link to an article about Wonston will be rather confused when they click on the link and instead the article that comes up is city of winchester. Question marks all round i think ?????? So i think it would be better to delete the actual article rather than redirecting it. If you have a decent reason for doing this then i will be happy to send my apologies. Cheers Dewster_^*'_ 21:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- I will look into that and am sure i already know where to find what i need. Cheers Dewster_^*'_ 10:05, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] French communes
I disagree with you on the usefulness of the stub articles I create. The department a place is located in is already quite helpful, since that narrows the possible location down to about 1% of France. Anyway, this is just a first stage in creating good articles about all French communes. There is more to come, and you can help if you like, see Wikipedia:WikiProject French communes. Markussep Talk 15:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- One of the things on my wishlist is to automatically create maps and title coordinates using the "lat" and "long" fields in the French infobox. But that's for later. BTW once you've added an infobox you need to check the links in it, for instance in the Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont article the link to the arrondissement is broken (just fixed it). That takes time, so I'll finish the stubs first. Actually, what I do is add the ones others have missed. Markussep Talk 15:19, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Need Help
I just combined two articles which were exactly the same thing but had different spellings. I combined the articles with the more common name and Used ALL information found on each of the articles. I need help fixing up references and completely deleting the old article. Here are the articles- Paramahansa the less common and Paramahamsa the more common term.--Juthani1 (talk) 03:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Changing section heading broke redirect
Just a reminder to be careful when renaming section headings, as often it may result in broken redirects and section link. When you edited Brain, there was a notice there that <!--Brain dish redirects here-->. I have fixed the redirect for you. (EhJJ)TALK 16:40, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you--Juthani1 (talk) 23:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mass speedy-deleting Japanese authors
Hi. I've removed the speedy delete tags you added to 8 Japanese author article-stubs. They each have corresponding articles at the Japanese Wikipedia. Most are also about long-dead foreign-language authors, hence it is hard to find references quickly.
At the very least, it would've been better to add a prod tag, instead of speedy-delete. However, stubs like this should generally be left to grow. Thanks. -- Quiddity (talk) 02:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reminder, and I will add prod tags, but if you look at their histories they've had more than four year to grow, and they haven't. Reywas92Talk 02:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Out of curiosity, how did you find these 8 particular articles? Part of a cleanup category/backlog somewhere?
- I do object to the prod tags, but I'll let them sit there for a few days to get more attention. Then if they're still there, I'll remove them and let you know.
- There is nothing wrong with having a stub. See Wikipedia:Don't demolish the house while it's still being built and Wikipedia:There is no deadline for the general idea. See also Eventualism. Any weeding should be done delicately. See also many current discussion at the wikien-l mailing list about how deletionism may be considered harmful. Thanks. -- Quiddity (talk) 03:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- As it happens, I found the first one with Special:Random, was curious, and found the rest on the creator's contributions page. I do agree that Wikipedia is a work in progress and there is no deadline, but I don't think for these it's really demolishing the house. If you see the history pages of these articles, you will see that they were created by an IP address in February 2003. That's over five years ago! I do realize that Eventualism, etc, but these probably won't be going anywhere terribly soon. Although there are respective Japanese articles, they have different policies and aren't necessarily notable, and they are still stubs. Also, these articles are unreferenced, and asserting that one is an author does not sufficiently assert notability and these don't pass WP:BIO. I obviously disagree with you on inclusionism/deletionism; too many deletions are harmful, but we definitely cannot have an article on every real person...You know what I mean. But at only one sentence long and mostly refless, they do not currently pass WP:BIO, and if you decline the prods without doing anything, they will be deleted at AFD. Reywas92Talk 02:32, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Bounza (Inuyasha)
Is Bounza an actual character? This guy ain't on the list. In fact, there is no mention at all on Wikipedia. I'm considering deletion, per WP:CSD#G6. Thoughts? Please reply on your talk page. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:47, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Go ahead and delete it. It was a poorly written orphaned article with no references and no reason why the fictional charactor was notable, so I just redirected it. Reywas92Talk 03:22, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New policy proposal that may be of interest
I'm tapping this message out to you because you were involved at the AfDs of Eve Carson or Lauren Burk. Following both of these heated debates, a new proposal has been made for a guideline to aid these contentious debates, which can be found at WP:N/CA. There is a page for comments at Wikipedia talk:Notability (criminal acts)/Opinions should you wish to make a comment. Thanks for your time, and apologies if this was not of interest! Fritzpoll (talk) 15:39, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Preview
I can't. I keep trying to use the preview button, but it keeps coming back to the editing page and I lose all of my work. I don't know what's wrong. I use the button when I can.--Juthani1 (talk) 01:59, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
By the way, how do you make your signature have awesome fonts?--Juthani1 (talk) 01:59, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notification
In response to the comments you left on the Angkor Wat FAR, I have posted a Wikiquette alert at Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts#User:Reywas92. Collectonian (talk) 13:42, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- The Wikiquette page says not to discuss things there, so I wanted to respond this this remark here: "In my experience, I would never FAR an article, though I respect your opinion to do so. In most cases, tagging an article for something does not help at all. For example, you could have easily taken care of the image problem yourself, rather than FARing it."
- Why would you never FAR an article? FAR does not equal automatic delisting, it is calling attention to the fact that an article no longer meets the FA qualifications and should be reviewed. FAR, in fact, is designed to do what you are now doing, calling attention to the article so editors can fix it before it is delisted. Sure, I could have fixed the image problem, but in my experiences my just jumping in removing them would get nothing but backlash and insults thrown my way. Besides, the image problem alone was not why I sent it to FAR, but the huge chunks of unsourced statements. An article should not carry the featured article star if it is not featured article quality. It degrades the project and the value of the featured article title. Angkor Wat passed FA nearly three years ago, and it has not maintained the FA level since. If you can fix it all up, great. If not, it should appropriately be delisted until it can return to FA status.
- As for saying you never edited it, I apologize. I didn't remember seeing your name when I checked contributers to notify about the FAR. I myself came across the article while looking at FA level architecture articles to point someone to as examples in a failed GA. This, being in the As, was one of the first I found and unfortunately, found it was not a good FA example and needed review. I'm also sorry you felt my alert was unnecessary. When I pointed to civility after your first remark, it was in hopes you would simply apologize and focus on the issue at hand, but instead I felt you insulted me even worse. I felt your remarks implied I did no real editing and only run around "ruining" articles and being useless. When I have taken an article from horrible to FA, gotten several lists to FL, am on track for my first Featured Topic, and have rescued several other articles to get them close to GA level, it hurt my editor's pride and left me near tears. Hence my filing the report. Collectonian (talk) 14:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- I apologise again, and I do recognize your improvements to other articles. I was not trying to insult you, just that I disagreed. You surely do plenty of real editing, but Jeopardy's quality was brought down rather than up.
-
- I know that FAR brings attention to an article, which it did, and does not automatically delist it, though it does seriously threaten it, which I did not think was necessary. About the image problem, I would just be bold and do whatever seems best. Backlash is rare and can always be discussed. We obviously have different view on FAs, but it really isn't that bad. What needs improvement is web sources rather than book sources. As it isn't terribly long, 46 refs is about plenty. I'll se what else I can do, and I hope this will work out between us. Reywas92Talk 14:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Patrolling prods
It would really hep me and the other admins who patrol WP:PROD if you gave somewhat fuller prod reasons than just "Notability not sufficently asserted. No references." it helps to say what sort of article at least, because different of us tend to work on different sorts o topics--I , for example, wouldnt even try to evaluate a deletion for a musician. eg Athili Krishna Rao as " Theater director--Notability not sufficently asserted. No references." (no problem with your actual nomination by the way, they seem totally appropriate) thanks -- DGG (talk) 21:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Will do. Reywas92Talk 21:43, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] removing dead references
Hey, I noticed you removed a dead link on Anophthalmus hitleri. While the link is indeed dead it's still being used as a reference, and that's actually alright for references, as long as it was live when the author cited it and there was a "date accessed" put in along with the reference. In this case the page wasn't gone, though, the URL had just changed and I found it again using Google. EditorInTheRye (talk) 17:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] California Dreaming (novel)
If someone removes a prod tag, don't readd it, the deletion has been contested. Instead, take the article to AFD. Thanks, and let me know if you need any assistance. Prodego talk 19:53, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- I was not re-adding a contested prod, I was reverting vandalism. An IP had removed all tags and info and replaced it with "this is a great book". That was not contesting the prod, but I will respect your removal of it. Reywas92Talk 20:54, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Children's Museums
Hey, thanks for your note. There are a couple of more in Indiana on Wiki and not yet created. I'm trying to find the archived discussion I just had with someone re: New York on the same issue. Basically we're trying to categorize them for WP:MUSEUMS. Without getting into WP:OTHERSTUFF, I don't see the difference between those and Museums in Saitama, Saitama, which was one of a series just closed as no consensus to delete. Children's Museums in the US is small because a good number of the already existing children's museums are not yet categorized -- I know because I've spent part of today working on the categories. Is there any reason why it definitely shouldn't exist or is too small a cat? TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 18:58, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- I wouldn't be opposed to Category:Children's museums in the Midwest as that's what I did for Category:Children's museums in New England. Could then add the existing Illinois and Indiana ones, plus Ohio, Michigan and whoever else has Children's Museums. If you really want to tackle this, there are a ton of apparently long-existing one article cats along the lines of Category:Museums in Laredo, Texas that I've found when going through and tagging for WP:MUSEUMS TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 19:19, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
-
- I'm happy to make you a master list of the one offs as I find them if you feel like dealing with them. I don't necessarily have an opinion one way or the other but I don't think country-wide categorisation is the best option either because some have a *huge* number. I think there needs to be a way to find the information and it's my personal opinion that categories are far easier to navigate and are more complete in terms of what exists on wiki than lists of... Thoughts? I'm creating the mid west and moving them there
Re: master list, when I come across them in tagging museum cats with the Museums Banner, I can let you know if there are categories of one if you want to deal with them. Since I don't feel strongly that they should go, I don't know that I'd nominate them all. I'll db-author the cats, didn't know that applied to cats as well as self-created articles. I would object strongly to New York and New England being merged as both have a lot of museums within their scope even if they're not yet categorized. While this search doesn't return only children's museums, it gives an idea to how many there are and within the scope of WP:MUSEUMS we're actively creating more articles. New England and Mid-Atlantic are both recognised regions and while New England makes sense as a category, I don't think Mid-Atlantic does -- nor does East as a logical category, in my opinion. New England is a multi-state region that could easily sustain its own category, same with New York and I think both are a likely search. But that's just me. It's not official project POV. You can mention it there if you want more feedback on it. I'm happy to go with consensus. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 19:59, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
taken care of so I suppose G7 worked fine, even if it wasn't exactly what to do. Thanks for the tip TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 20:40, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:RFA/Reywas92
Hello. There have been a few threads recently on WT:RFA about a lack of candidates, so I looked through Category:Wikipedia administrator hopefuls and found you. I think you'd make Wikipedia better if you were an administrator; you're a familiar name around here, and I haven't seen anything to make me think otherwise. I'm a novice nomination writer, but if you'll accept, I'd be happy to nominate you. WODUP 04:20, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Rat Rock
Hello. I noticed you removed image caption attribution in the Rat Rock article, you may be interested in a conversation going on right now about image attribution at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Photograph_attribution_in_image_captions. Doesn't look like consensus to me at the moment, one way or the other. - Owlmonkey (talk) 18:43, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mistake on comment in Village Pump
This is just to let you know that I think you make a mistake in your comment at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Discussion_2. You addressed the comment to "Mike", when I believe you meant "x42bn6". Mike Godwin was only mentioned at the end of x42bn6's comment, though at a glance I can see how it would look like he signed as Mike. -kotra (talk) 22:15, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, he linked to Mike's userpage, so I must have mistaken that for the signature. Reywas92Talk 22:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] User:Juthani1
Sorry Juthani1 00:42, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Others have done it and so Nate Williams has trouble editing my page. He will keep vandalizing and making new accounts. I believe he plans on doing it today. Juthani1 21:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

- Sorry I thought you were refering to your talk page by saying here. I forgot about the link underneath it, but Nate isn't smart enough to find it. I will work on the NY article. The section with the news and pic was added for no particular reason, but it makes my userpage look nicer. I ue it rather than the main page since its easier for me to get to. Juthani1 21:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia is not TV Guide
Thanks for your efforts in cleaning out these "schedules." I removed the one from the article on the old network version of Wheel of Fortune after it was repeatedly the target of both inaccurate information and just plain vandalism. I see they're popping up all over the place. JTRH (talk) 00:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] pique your interest?
I've proposed a merger between two articles that no one seems very interested in. Granted, they're not heavily trafficked... anyway, they're numismatism-related. Take a look if you get a second. Skiasaurus (talk) 03:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Date formats
Looking at this diff, I see that you have changed date formats in the Botswana article to American dating (m-d-y). Botswana uses International Dating format (d-m-y) and you should not change the format for this or other articles. I have restored the Botswana article to its correct format, but if you could retrace your steps and correct any other similar edits you have made, to comply with WP:DATE, that would be helpful. --Pete (talk) 02:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Coordinates
<from user talk:Docu>
I see that you have been changing coordinates from Template:Mapit-US-cityscale to Template:Coor at d, Template:Coor at dm,or Template:Coor at dms. While this is okay, I'd like to inform you of the more useful Template:Coord, which is universal and accepts all forms of coordinates rather than using multiple templates.

[edit] Changes in Euro gold and silver commemorative coins and similar articles
Hey there,
I wonder why you felt that putting == instead of a === is better. I personally like it more the way it was before.
Anyway, in order to achieve consistency can you also do them for articles like Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (France): 2002?
