[edit] BLP and the Six Flags Incidents Page
Hey Spike, I've been watching the Six Flags Incidents page since dropping some content in there some time ago and have been watching you for some time working on removing BLP-type content. I think an explanation on the talk page might help. I've got the time and am willing to do some top-down work to get the document cleaned up both WRT formatting and removal of BLP-type content. Drop me a shout at my own page. Ogre lawless (talk) 20:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Pointless Disneyland links
Looks like 71.116.162.179 is adding links to Disneyland articles to a website called "Original D" and I'm pretty sure those links add nothing new to the articles. --blm07 23:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey everybody. I finally figured out how this site works and what it is for. I am very sorry for adding the links to Original D everywhere. I was getting frustrated because some links were staying that seemed to be pointless or had nothing to do with the attraction while the Original D links had Hidden Mickey Locations, Tips, and a Video of every attraction that I added it to. I won't do this again, I really apologize for the mass spamming. I would like everyone to consider the edit I made on 5/14/08 on the Disneyland Park main page. I don't know how to link to it, I'm sorry. But it made the external links easier to read and I included several sites (not just Original D) that I feel are very informative and all have something to add to Wikipedia.71.116.162.179 (talk) 01:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
SpikeJones, please read my comment on this page. Thanks! -Dewdrinker19 (talk) 01:25, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pinball
I see that you arbitrarily decided to move the contested section rather than join in the discussion that had already been established regarding that portion of the article. As a courtesy to those of us who were having the talk (and those that you may be involved in in the future), can you please check to make sure that there isn't some sort of discussion taking place that is trying to reach consensus before making your own decision as to what to do? In this case, the end result may have ended up as "keep it integrated". 'preciate it. SpikeJones (talk) 11:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sources of roller coaster data
I'd normally ask the head of the roller coaster wikiproject this, but he's on a long wikibreak. I've seen you around quite a bit, so maybe you'll have some insight on my question.
Currently, we use RCDB as a reliable source for roller coaster data. But what if a coaster's data on RCDB doesn't match up with its data on the park's official website? I've seen this happen in several cases. Which should be used as a more reliable source?
Perhaps the park that owns the coaster would know best -- then again, their website might be more concerned with marketing and "round numbers" than accuracy.
I know RCDB is concerned with accuracy, but there are probably still mistakes if they've acquired numbers second-hand: their site says, "The rcdb's data was compiled from a plethora of sources: Usenet, Internet, amusement parks, roller coaster manufacturers and enthusiasts."
Is there a consensus on this? Please reply on my talk page. I've posed the same question to a few other active editors of coaster articles, so I can get several people's input and not just one.
Thanks!
