MfD Archive

I noticed you recently archived a debate at MfD, for future reference we usually move them to the bottom of the page on MFD until an entire day is done and then archive. Thanks for closing though.--Doug.(talk contribs) 22:06, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

A660 road

What makes you, or your bot, classify this as a stub? It's got a lot of content, infobox, ext links, photos... ? PamD (talk) 08:13, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Same question about A65 road - it's a different kind of article from the above, but also seems to me to be at least a "Start". What are your criteria? PamD (talk) 08:16, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
The article can be any length, but it has to follow WP:UKRD. --Rschen7754 (T C) 23:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

SR 91 extension

You know anything about SR 91 west extension. I dont know clearly the problems about doing it, all I hear is it is going from I-110 to SR-1. I dont know the issues. The only battle I'm clear with is the 710, 241, and 57 South extensions.--Freewayguy (Webmail) 19:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

User:Artisol2345's sockpuppet

Are you sure Yorkabe is Artisol's second account. Yorkabe even put on her user page is Artisol sister's account. Alot of people has siblings, and Yorkabe and Artisol seems like two different people. Did you check their e-mail address and make sure they are not the same? If they are not the same means they are two different person. And also good idea if they dont post message on each others talk page. I dont see Artisol posting message on Yorkabes talk page. --Freewayguy (Webmail) 17:50, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Did you block any of Artisol2345's sockpuppet or somebody else did?--Freewayguy (Webmail) 17:35, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
    • I don't remember. I think I did. --Rschen7754 (T C) 17:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
    • I thouhgt Yorkabes is Artisol's sister; and AL2TB is his cousin. Thats what they said on their user page. Did you check their e-mail?--Freewayguy (Webmail) 17:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
      • Um, just because he / they say it doesn't mean it's true. --Rschen7754 (T C) 17:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
      • How do you know then?What happens if it is true?Because most people have at least one brothers or sisters, and sometimes moms and dads work on Wiki too--Freewayguy (Webmail) 19:04, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
        • This is the worst excuse in the book - it's like saying "my dog ate my homework". --Rschen7754 (T C) 19:16, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
        • Then how to figure out people has been suspect as sockpuppet. It is tough to check because sometimes the names is different. Dont I check the user contribs?--Freewayguy (Webmail) 23:35, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
          • It is difficult to understand what you are saying. --Rschen7754 (T C) 23:42, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
          • I meant how you know people cheat by sockpuppeting what's the other common evidence besides similar user names.--Freewayguy (Webmail) 00:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
            • Similar methods of editing. --Rschen7754 (T C) 00:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
              • To know people's sockpuppet don't we need to check their IP to find their home adr, or just looking at their midification methods. Actually what is "similar method of changing" it is difficult to indentify the way people modifies.--Freewayguy (talk) 23:53, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Redirect change?

I founded Wikipedia:WikiProject M*A*S*H, and I would like to suggest a change of redirects: WP:MASH goes to the Massachusetts Road Project. Since MASH is closer to M*A*S*H (and the film is named MASH), than it is to Massachusetts Road Project, could we arrange a changing of the redirect? Basketball110 (talk) 18:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Considering that your project is a newly founded project, I don't believe that this would be a good move as of yet. If this project becomes fully established, I would consider this (as this would destroy the **SH shortcut consistency that we have at WP:USRD). --Rschen7754 (T C) 17:24, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Why? --75.47.216.56 (talk) 23:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Mirrors and faux copies

Hey there.

A little known trick: there is a page where you can add exclusion rules when you find a mirror.  :-) I add to it with some frequency when I spot one, but it looks like for-profit Wikipedia vampires are about a dime a dozen lately. — Coren (talk) 23:47, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

K-58 (Kansas highway)

You deleted this as "A1: Not enough context to identify subject", but the Google cache shows this to be untrue. --NE2 16:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to recreate it then. --Rschen7754 (T C) 22:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Why, so you can delete it again? --NE2 04:35, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
If you write more than what you did, it won't be deleted. --Rschen7754 (T C) 04:39, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
The point is that you shouldn't have deleted it in the first place, since it definitely had "enough context to identify subject". --NE2 05:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Reading the definition of A1 - it says "Very short articles providing little or no context". --Rschen7754 (T C) 05:24, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
This provided sufficient context - it's a state highway in Kansas. No context is when you don't say what the subject even is. --NE2 06:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
What's your beef about this? Just recreate the darn thing and write two sentences about it and then it'll all be fine. --Rschen7754 (T C) 06:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
My beef is that you deleted a useful article (it was useful because of the disambiguation at least). If it's so easy to write two sentences, why didn't you? --NE2 06:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
It may eventually be useful, but then it was cruddy. --Rschen7754 (T C) 07:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Uh, it was useful. When it existed, someone looking for the former K-58 could find it. --NE2 07:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
If you really have an issue with it, take it to DRV. --Rschen7754 (T C) 00:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

US 12 pics

If you can't find yours, or you think they're too low quality, I might be able to take some of the route west of Yakima next weekend (i.e. a week from tomorrow). However, Lewiston is a bit far for me, and I'd probably prefer not making the trip altogether. :-P Plus, mine probably wouldn't be all that higher quality.

Basically, I'm just making promises I don't intend to keep. :-P -- Kéiryn talk 21:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Highways 2

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. No formal enforcement measures are being proposed at this time, in light of the hope that editors will act of their own volition and take with them a more in-depth understanding of the issues, principles, and the disputes themselves, for future benefit and to avoid the need for more formal responses; in particular, all members of WikiProject U.S. Roads are advised that when asserting the existence of a prior consensus, it is necessary to refer to prior discussions or debates on Wikipedia where that consensus has been established.

— Coren (talk) for the Arbitration Committee, 03:07, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


Notability of Ree Woo

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Ree Woo, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Ree Woo seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Ree Woo, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 04:01, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Ummm... I nominated Ree Woo for AfD, although I should have taken it to DRV instead. You can't just undelete articles like that. The version that was deleted definitely met A1, seeing as how it didn't mention where the character was from, or even that it was a fictional character (hence the editor's confusion when he originally tagged as A7 for real people).
The Kansas highway that you deleted under A1 did have context however, since it included the fact that it was a state highway, which is apparently sufficient for a claim of notability. -- Kéiryn talk 07:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
