[edit] Can you confirm?

Hi! I just contributed a few lines to the two dollar bill page, which is, unfortunately, only speculation. I've never been to Las Vegas, so I don't know how accurate the info is, and I wonder if you might know better, since you live there. (The question is whether or not "gentlemen's clubs" tend to give out two dollar bills as change) Anyway, if you happen to know off the top of your head, or know someone else who might, I'd be curious to know. I'll keep an eye out for your reply. Thanks! Randyoo 00:03, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Don't really know since I tend to not go to the clubs. Maybe you can try asking on the Las Vegas, Nevada discussion.Vegaswikian 00:09, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Thanks, will do!Randyoo 00:14, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] LV WPers

Hi, are you physically in Las Vegas? I think we're getting enough locals to make a little club now, perhaps get together in person at some point. Stan 23:12, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I live in Vegas, I suppose that a club could be set up. Don't know how much interest there is. Maybe it could be used as a way to get some people interested in adding material to some of the pages. I know I have created a lot of pointers and almost empty pages, but I keep running in to other pages that need fixing. And then I created a reasonably complete Red Rock Casino page and had it recommended for deletion almost as soon as it was created. Talk about frustrating!
Don't let it get to you. Usually we consider things that are "coming soon" not, in general, to be proper subject materials for articles; this generally constitutes things like "Ashleigh Simpson's upcoming album", "the next episode in Final Fantasy", or "The 2012 Elections". This is because such articles are generally either completely speculative, based on rumors, or press releases. Red Rock Station (isn't that it's real name?) could be reasonably thought to be in that category, as can Wynn Las Vegas; you'll note that the VfD on Wynn was shouted down immediately, and the Red Rock VfD is going to fail as well. Don't take any of this personally. Anybody -- anybody -- can list something on VfD; and quite often the consensus of the community is "what the hell did you list that for?". --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 23:52, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Yes, I understand that. Now. The Crystal Ball clearly talks about publishing and not structures. I'm thinking about a VfD for the Metropolitan page since that seems to be serving no purpose since it was created. I have also been moving things off the Vegas page that clearly, to me anyway, belong on another page like the Clark County one or the airport. I also just raised a question about where the MGM fire should be talked about. Kind of odd since it has its own page. The correct name for the red rock casino is "Red Rock Resort Spa and Casino" according to the stations web page.Vegaswikian 00:03, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

One thing I've noticed is that it works better for new people to edit content within the existing framework of articles for awhile, then branch out into reorganization projects later; gives you a chance to get familiar with what logic there is. A lot of the organization has been painfully hammered out over the years, and it's become all too easy to step on someone's toes. Funny about VfD for Red Rock Station, I'm literally looking at it as I type - pretty solid-looking for a hypothetical... :-) Stan 01:36, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I'm also a Las Vegas-Wikipedian (Just so happened to see some of your edits) :)--Comrade Nick @)---^-- 07:10, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hello :-)

Welcome to wikipeda. Maybe you'd like to create a user page? It lets you say things about yourself, or could act as a scratchpad for things you're working on. BesigedB (talk) 13:45, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Casino categories

Hi there! The point of categories is to be as concise as possible and minimize the amount of overlap in overbroad categories. The point is not to 'hide' casinos in Nevada but to ensure that the casinos that aren't enough to warrant their own Casinos-by-state category to stand out. If we don't try to limit the scope of things then the categorization scheme can get out of control. For a good example, note how all cars are categorized by manufacturer, and not included under the Automobile category. Hope this clears it up. Regards --Hooperbloob 08:02, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • So are you planning to clean up the other ones like Casinos in Australlia? Vegaswikian 08:43, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] International airports category

I noticed you added a new category, International Airports. With ~800 airports in WP and a large faction are int, the we have about 400 airports to that category. It is much too broad in my opinion. Please reconsider. Burgundavia 08:06, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

  • The category was set up as a part of International Airport I just finished creating it. In the US, the vast majority of airports are not international. Europe likely has a higher percentage. Commerical airports probably make up less then 10% of all airports and International airports are a subset of that number. The issue with what's in WP right now is that it is biased towards the larger airports which are more likely to be international. As more airpots are added, the international ones will be a smaller subset of the total. In my state, I belive 2 out of 30+ airports are international. If you think this is really a bad idea, delete the entry in international airport and then the category itself. Vegaswikian 08:16, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] El Rancho Vegas

Yikes! I know you know that we know that now we're confused. Anyhow, don't added things like:

"...the Las Vegas Strip in 1946 or on April 3, 1941."
and
"I found two dates for when the hotel opened, anyone know which is correct?"

to the article page. You'll cause an uproar!

I've got a perfect source of information about Vegas/Nevada (but I don't share!). I'll look into more details about El Rancho (Which burned down twice, and there was yet another one else where). Guy M (talk) 08:30, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

So, do you put the question on the talk page? How many people actually look there? The sources I had showed two different dates. I have an e-mail in to the MGM trying to find out the correct number of rooms. Geting facts is not a trival task it seems. Does your source say anything about the Imperial Palace and the garage being a part of the flood channel? Enjoy Vegaswikian 15:35, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
(As I understand it; [I actually read more from metawiki than wikipedia]) The talk page should be used for all statements that can't be verified as factual with an outside source, opinions, comments, trivia, stories, questions, concerns.... all talk page items. You can watch talk pages too. A source that I can't offer for validation, a friend of mine that works front desk at the MGM Grand, tells me: "5,034 rooms, but only publicly claims 5,005" When asked why, he didn't know. Another friend (worked as an actor in EFX from pening to closing of it) says the same thing. No one can figure out why only 5,005 are claimed. I have heard it has to do with a continued interest in combining some rooms (planed since conversion to MGM from Marina) in the Emerald tower due to size, but structural issues make it costly. So they continue with the old room count. (Nothin' worse than throwing egg in your own face eh?
Offering constructive criticism now (Don't hurt me! I'm not good at this). Your amount of content additions are wonderful! I feel I should steal you to work LVwiki. Anyhow, you add, I follow and stylize, and reword (pretty good at this, as I read the dictionary for fun as a kid, several times). Some helpful things to remember: (link to subsections)
  1. Header: Capitalisation
  2. Header: Links within headings
  3. Linking: Internal links (I need to remember this too)
  4. Linking: Position in article
  5. For example, ... UGH! I think this is just a petpeev, but I feel better about saying so!

And just for you! The 1940's of Las Vegas:

  • 1940's
    • 1941 El Rancho opens
    • 1942 New Frontier opens
    • 1946 Flamingo opens
    • 1947 El Rancho sold
    • 1947 Flamingo remodeled
    • 1948 Thunderbird opens

[edit] Copyvio

Hi! The "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" article seems to have been a C&P from another site. No can do...that's a copyright violation. OTOH, I agree that an article about that sign is long overdue. It's a true LV landmark. In fact, I always make it a point to enter town from the south end of the strip because I dig that sign as well. If you go to the original article, you'll see both the copyright notice and a red link to a temp page that you can add original info on. Hope this helps. - Lucky 6.9 20:37, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • My sincerest apologies. I didn't know that site was a mirror. I'll fix it immediately. - Lucky 6.9 21:22, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • No sweat.  :) I've reverted back to your original edit and crossed out the entry on the copyvio page. Again, sorry 'bout the boo-boo. - Lucky 6.9 21:27, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Disney Theme Parks

Hi, Vegaswikian. I'm going to have to ask you not to add the Category:Amusement parks category to Disney theme park articles. Disney parks are theme parks, and therefore, go under Category:Theme parks, and also Category:Disney parks and attractions. Disney parks may be regarded as amusement parks by some, but theme parks are themed amusement parks, featuring "lands." Disney also claims Disney parks to be theme parks, and Walt Disney had even said that Disneyland (then the only Disney park) was not an amusement park, but a theme park, a new term he coined (although theme parks existed then, they were called amusement parks). I know it's really confusing, but just thought I should tell you. --Evanwohrman 23:55, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Amusement_park#Noteworthy_amusement.2C_theme_and_water_parks and the request in there was the source for my actions. Maybe a bigger discussion needs to be had on how those categories should be used. But the request there was to update everyting into the category. So, maybe you need to edit the request that I saw there and acted on. Vegaswikian 00:18, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 24 hour fitness

Shoulden't it be 24 Hour Fitness, and do they sill have their location at McCarren? --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 05:52, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • I just found that and added a link from McCarran. If we find the formal name, then the page should be moved. I did not move it since I'm not sure of the correct name. I had in on the McCarran page as 24 Hour fitness. Vegaswikian 05:54, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Awsome, i don't recall seeing it the last time i was their, but in 2000 i think is when they were putting it in and i recall seeing a banner for them in Baggage Claim, as well as seeing an article about how it was the first "24 hour" fitness club to open in a US airport, also from their website (Copyright © 2002 24 Hour Fitness USA, Inc.) so it looks like caps, so i am gonna move it if their are no objections from your end. Also BTW nice work on the vegas pages. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 06:02, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Go ahead and move it, the sooner the better before there are more links to clean up. Thanks for the nice words on the Vegas pages. I'm till not sure about how they need to go. Then I need to clean up the airline ticket stuff I started. But as I type, I trying to set up the all american City category so that I can set up a category that I think is really needed. Then to do the disambig page. Oh, did you see the copyvio slapped on the welcome sign page as soon as I created it? Vegaswikian 06:08, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
        • Umm no i didnt catch that one, send me the link to the page and i'll take a look at it see if i can't do something with it. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 06:12, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
          • Thanks, but I screamed with facts and the person who put it there said he made a mistake and it's back. He missed the fact that the page he used as the copyright source was in fact a copy of the las vegas, nevada page. Vegaswikian 06:14, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Thats cool, yeah some times users arouns here, and i'll admit that i have as well, have a tendency to jump the gun, among other things. Not that i am a admin, but if you need any help with anything around here, fell free to drop me a line, be glad to help. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 06:18, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Museum article

I'm glad you've latched on to that article! It started out as little more than link spam. Don't worry about the article being deleted, though. The overwhelming consensus is to keep it. Later! - Lucky 6.9 18:04, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sethbot

They work just fine for me. Can you give me an example of one that doesn't work? -- Seth Ilys 19:20, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hmm. Interesting. Indeed, that redirect didn't work until I fixed it just now; it looked its broken-ness was an artifact of the parentheses being rendered improperly as %28 and %29. (This edit fixed it.) I thought at first perhaps this was an artifact of the way that parentheses were rendered, but some links, like Trempealeau (village), WI work just fine, while others (like Trempealeau (town), WI) had the same problem. I really am not sure what it is. But I'm not overly concerne; these redirects exist for the primary purpose of aiding searching and preventing people from creating duplicate articles at the article name with the postal abbreviation, for someone to stumble into one of the redirects with broken parentheses is incredibly unlikley, and the vast vast majority of the redirects (the important ones) are just fine. I don't believe it's any harm to the 'pedia. -- Seth Ilys 22:03, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

As the title says, I do airport stuff. I don't do much else in the rest of aviation. There is already Paper ticket. My projects right now are the infobox and rewrite of airport to make it more sane. Burgundavia 21:59, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)



[edit] Deletion to articles

The Arthur Reid article. The Binky Barnes article. Swab the deck article.

Why do you have these articles up for deletion?

--Contrib 19:07, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)


Same on George Tribou. If legitimate, I'm new to this and will have no objections, I'd just like an explanation. (See my notes in the talk section. If it's about notability, where does one draw the line at who makes it in or not?) --RA 00:03, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)


[edit] New Mexico Governors

You seem to be adding the clean-up thing to many of the stub biographies for New Mexico Governors I created. Since I put the bio-stub thing in all of them, do you really think that's necessary? I didn't write them as full biographies because it's hard to find information of some of those folks. I merely created small stub biographies so that NM Governors would have footnotes, at least. YourNickname 07:44, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Replying... Ah, well, I do better with my Senator bioraphies. Have you seen my pride and joy biography: Clinton Presba Anderson. :D I like flaunting that, hehe. Anyway, I understand. Really, there's almost no information about most of New Mexico's Governors on the inetrnet, so I just added what I personally knew about some of them. Thanks, and I'll try to conform those small factiods into a more conforming style. EDIT: (And I forgot to sign this... *sigh* sorry) YourNickname 08:04, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category TOC

I noticed you tried to add a TOC to Category:Wikipedia articles of dubious importance and failed. The problem was that you used the wrong template. There are two TOC templates specific to categories. Unfortunately, I cannot find right now the page where they are explained, but the one you wanted is {{CategoryTOC}}. --cesarb 14:08, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Music Notability

Sorry to add articles about minor bands if they're not important enough for Wikipedia; most of them certainly don't come anywhere near meeting the Notability and Music Guidelines. But I would still like to see more articles about college bands on Wikipedia. It really helps to give a better feel for the music scene of an area or university. Maybe this group and other groups whose writeups I've created aren't "notable" in and of themselves, but small discussions of their music really humanize the writeup for the university that they are students of. If you're going by the letter of the law, this writeup probably should be deleted, but please leave me a message before you do so. - McCart42 15:00, 2005 Apr 26 (UTC)

[edit] Music Notability Tags

Instead of using {{cleanup-importance}} in the cases of band-related articles, you might want to use {{music-importance}} instead because it has an explicit link to the Music Notability and Guidelines. Thanks. Zzyzx11 | Talk 02:06, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • I have been trying to use {{music-importance}} on the music articles since I found out about it. I thought I was doing OK, maybe I'm still missing a few. Vegaswikian 02:30, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Importance tags

You seem to be fairly new, so perhaps you're not aware that opinions differ -- quite fiercely sometimes -- over the importance of schools. Many of your edits, it seems, involve adding tags to articles suggesting they are not important enough for Wikipedia, including many to school articles. You mark these edits as minor (is it switched on as your default, I wonder). But this is not a minor edit by any stretch of the imagination. Please stop adding these tags to articles that are a focus of contention. You're entitled to your opinion but I don't think this is an appropriate way to express it. Also, perhaps you would consider actually cleaning up some of the articles you come across? It's easy to sit on the newpages and club them, a lot harder to be constructive. Do you ever contact the editors of articles that you tag? Where they are named editors, it would be courteous to discuss with them the problem you feel the article has. I appreciate that you are working towards your idea of what Wikipedia should be, and I don't have a problem with that, so I hope you'll accept this message in the spirit it was given. Grace Note 07:02, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

To follow up on what Grace Note said, please stop tagging articles en masse with {{cleanup-importance}} as it is both disruptive and unnecessary. For example, you tagged Brisbane Girls Grammar School, effectively marking it "of dubious importance". This was irresponsible because if you looked at the article you would have noticed this school was one of only eight schools established under the Australian Grammar Schools Act of 1860.
Another article you dubiously tagged was Venice High School. If you would have performed a simple google search you would have known that this school produced several notable actors including Beau Bridges, Lloyd Bridges, Myrna Loy, as well as R&B performer Teena Marie and the NASA astronaut Walter Cunningham.
If you feel that a school article needs expansion, please consider improving the article yourself, or you may use the appropriate stub tag, {{school-stub}}, and someone from WikiProject Schools will provide for its organic growth in due time.
Lastly, please do not mark your edits as minor as your changes are not. The minor mark is reserved for something very small such as punctuation, capitalisation or typo corrections. Adding a template of any sort is not a minor change. See Help:Minor edit. If you would like help on how to improve school-related articles, please do not hesitate to contact me. Cheers --GRider\talk 16:44, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikilinking

Everyone on Wikipedia has a task they most enjoy. That role maybe creating articles, editing existing articles or simply being on the lookout for vandalism. I have chosen being helpful to others when and where I can. I offer you the following helpful hint:

When creating wikilinks, there are a few tricks! Plural (-s -es), tense related (-ed -ing) or alternative endings can simply be placed at the end of the wikicode, like this:

(Disambiguation) links can be tiresome to type, let Wikipedia do the hard work! Just stop at the pipe, and the (disambiguation) portion will not be displayed within the article.

  • Longhand: [[ Manhattan (disambiguation) | Manhattan ]] = Manhattan
  • Shortcut: [[ Manhattan (disambiguation) | ]] = Manhattan

I hope this has been helpful. Happy editing!

[edit] Blocked Users Page

Why did you nominate my page for speedy deletion? Why not vote and tell me what you think? Karatloz 21:13, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

It isn't a discussion page, it's a proposal.

Is the Village Pump an encyclopedic article? No, it's a place for discussion! The Page I created was an alternative to the cluttered Village Pump, and had you let it live instead of blindly deleting it, maybe it would become a page that blocked users would have the ability to edit, to state their case if they have one. But, instead you put it up for deletion, killing it. Thanks a lot, fucker(sorry for the strong language, but I get so mad about vandalism on wikipedia, and my proposal would allow stronger punishment for people with malicious intent.). Karatloz 21:32, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] street addresses

Vegaswikian, You are adding very useful information to Wikipedia, and I commend you on all your hard work. I wanted to drop you a line, though, about street addresses. Street addresses are not considered encyclopedic, except for rare cases like 10 Downing Street or 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Keep up the great work! cheers, Kingturtle 02:23, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] have you considered becoming an Administrator?

Hi again, I've noticed that you've put a great deal of effort into the workings of Wikipedia. Have you considered becoming an administrator? Administrators are granted special powers (sysop rights) which perform essential housekeeping chores. If you are interested in becoming an administrator, let me know, and I'll nominate you. If there is a community consensus after a week's time, you're an admin. cheers, Kingturtle 03:00, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] About schools

You said "Earlier today someone started posting a bunch of schools because they claimed that all schools are now acceptable". Are they substubs? Can you point me to one or two of them? Also I'll buy the criterion "a complete info box and the school district and town links should work", at least for US schools, maybe we could make a {{cleanup-school}} tag to make sure that happens. Kappa 07:04, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

I tried to find the school articles that I mentioned, but I could not. I believe that they used {{Wrongtitle}} since the No, for number, was not in the title. It was suppose to be 'N' followed by an 'o' with an underscore. I think the format of the titles was School nnn. I don't recall if they were marked as any kind of stub.
I think your idea of a tag like {{cleanup-school}} is a good idea. It avoids the Vfd and repeated discussion. The question is what criteria needs to be meet to remove the tag? I think what I suggested is objective so it is easy to see if the school meets the criteria or not. I'm not sure any of the other suggestions really would end the discussion. If this tag is added, the issue would be to refine the criteria as needed. As a new user with limited experience, I'm not the one to create and start using that tag. If it was available and the criteria to be meet for removal were published I would use it for articles that did not meet the criteria.
Maybe text similar to that used in {{music-importance}}, maybe even including the criteria in the warning box, could be used. Vegaswikian 07:52, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Unlike bands, publicly certified schools almost all have some degree of notability, so the criteria should be about the article, not the school. Something like "formatted/spellchecked, infobox (if available), BEEFSTEW H" (... does the article make a serious effort to establish the school's notability and describe some distinct things about it that distinguish it from other schools?). OK H is somewhat subjective but it would end the vast majority of discussions. Kappa 08:14, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • How about something like:
This article about a school does not appear to meet a minimum criteria for a school article. At a minimum, the article should use wiki links to the parent school district and the town it is located in. It should also include the apporpiate formatted/spellchecked, infobox and make a serious effort to establish notability. A [[BEEFSTEW}} score of at least 7 should be the minimum for an article. If you can expand the article to include the relevant information, please do so and then remove this notice afterwards. If no expansion or explanation is provided, this page may be merged into the school distric page, if one exists, or nominated for deletion.
I believe that we are quite close in what we think is needed. It's just a problem with how we state it. Vegaswikian 18:58, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SI units

If you change data, can I ask you to update SI units rather than removing them (Harrah's Las Vegas)? One simple way to do the conversion is using Google (sample query). Rl 07:20, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

  • I removed it becuase I changed the English neasurement and did not want wrong data there. I'll try and learn more about doing the conversion in the future, if the same case comes up. Thanks. Vegaswikian 07:24, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stubs

Thanks for adding the Sports book article. As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting, I replaced the generalized generalized {{stub}} tag with {{sports-stub}}. When you create new articles, it would be great if you could use these more specific tags whenever possible. Thanks, and continue contributing to Wikipedia! RussBlau 22:33, May 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Casino hotel summary?

Excalibur
# of Rooms 3,991
Gaming Space Over 100,000 square feet
Gaming Machines 2,250
Table Games 48 Blackjack
7 Roulette
2 Pai Gow Poker
(etc...)
Poker 11 tables
Permanent Shows Thunder from Down Under
Tournament of Kings

How do you feel about a standard "Casino Hotel Summary" chart appearing on each individual casino page? Something along the lines of...

(from http://www.excalibur.com/press/press_kit_info.php?kit=4)

There's obvious good from something like this (if a standard/consistent set of info is laid out ahead of time), but I can also see where it could be a big pain.

What's your thought? SpikeJones 2:18p, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I'll put together an example table - probably on Excalibur (just because I started that here already as an example so why not continue?). While I understand why you say that "hotel information should be kept separate from casino info" as there are a number of casinos that do not have hotels associated with them and vice-versa, when people visit various hotels/casinos they are as interested in the major amenities each resort has (rooms, pools, shows) as they are with the gaming areas. For casinos that do not have hotels/shows/pools, then it is just as easy to say "N/A" for those selections as an indicator that those places do not have those features (Harrah's New Orleans or Slots O Fun(?) being the first ones off the top of my head to not have hotels on-premises.

So in the meanwhile, I'll come up with the category list and then we can decide what to keep/toss off that as a starting point. This should be fun. SpikeJones 21:51, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Updated version (with your comments in consideration). Yeah, it ain't pretty but let's hammer down content first. User:SpikeJones/temp-casino SpikeJones 02:16, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's been at least 2 weeks since I posted an example on the Infobox board, and nobody's commented on it. I say it's good to go. You? SpikeJones 6 July 2005 13:36 (UTC)


Well, it seems a few enterprising souls have begun adding our little infobox. Do you have an opinion on the good/bad before it gets too involved? SpikeJones 21:55, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Certainly a template is the way to go, once we figured out an infobox format that worked. You have an idea on the creation process? SpikeJones 13:25, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] FYI

Wikipedia terminology says XXX0's always means a decade, never a century. Centuries in Wikipedia are always written as "20th century"; "1900s" means the decade 1900-1909. Georgia guy 00:25, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Majeediyya School

Hello there,

I just noticed you removed {{school-stub}} from Majeediyya School article. The reason for the stub being there is, the article has just one major section and that is History. Then there is school song. So it qualifies for a stub, since there arn't much information about recent days as of now..! --Oblivious 19:27, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Middlesex school

Kappa has uncovered at least three prominent alumni of this school, including the current governor of New Mexico. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 22:29, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deeside Consortium

The Deeside Consortium article admits that it is a stub. It contains the words school (twice) and college. It contains four valid links giving the geographical area. What more context do you want at this stage of the article's development? -- RHaworth 09:08, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)

[edit] Jigsaw Classroom

Regarding your question about renaming the article "Jigsaw Classroom Experiement"...I had thought about this myself but decided against it since it is both an experiement AND a technique. After the experiment was complete the name also became associated with the technique, so I'm not so sure that a rename including the word "experiment" captures the whole concept.

[edit] Las Vegas Airport to Hawaii

In reply to what you wrote on my talk page, I didn't think it was proper to list any destinations unless they were nonstop (unless noted, like I did) as this is consistent with the other airport pages I've seen so far. I could of course be wrong, but could you show me where? Thank you; I'm new at this so any information you could provide would be helpful. --03:06, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Test match"

I note that you changed my disambig page for Test match. The reason it was decided to do that is that, although there are other uses than for cricket, every single link to Test match [1] is cricket related. That being so, we (ie WikiProject Cricket) felt use of the {{redirect}} template, as used in several other articles for much the same reason, was justified. I haven't changed it back, though. Loganberry (Talk) 18:38, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply about this. I think your comments are sensible, and from now on I'll write [[Test cricket|Test match]] when editing cricket-related articles. Loganberry (Talk) 22:29, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Buckingham Browne & Nichols

Hey vegas, I've seen you around a few other places, and I wanted to say thanks for what looks like a lot of work you've done. And while I'm grateful for some of the changes you've made to article Buckingham Browne & Nichols [2], I'm not sure that linking to two non-existant schools (that merged and became the title school), would be such a great idea. I was wondering however, isn't that against some of the ideals of wikiproject:schools? I would believe they would only serve as mirrors to the BB&N article, which, at the moment, is still a very small stub. They would be better suited to be merged into the main article, and/or as redirects. just my thoughts, mysekurity 02:41, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Avi

I reverted the changes you made to Avi. My main reason for doing this is that because you copied and pasted the content from the old page at "Avi" to the new page at "Edward Irving Wortis", you disconnected the content from it's edit history. Normally if you are going to move content wholesale like this, it is better to use the "Move this page" option, which also moves the edit history. My other reason for moving the content back is that if you look at all the pages that link to "Avi", they are all talking about the children's author. Anyway just wanted to explain why and I hope you don't mind me reverting your edits too much. AlistairMcMillan 23:20, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

But you weren't doing a merge. You were taking the entire content from one page and pasting it into another page, replacing a redirect. The correct policy if you want to move a page to a new title, when a page already exists at the target title, is to post a request on an admin page somewhere.
And I'll admit right off, I've never heard of "Avi" or "Edward Irving Wortis". However looking at the covers of his books, all the ones I've seen use "Avi". Try doing a search on Amazon for books by "Edward Irving Wortis", zero results. Let me say that again, ZERO results. However a search on Avi results in a big long list of children's books. AlistairMcMillan 01:46, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)
Also, could you please point to the edits where you redirected links from Avi to the video format? I can see a bunch of edits between 22:12 and 22:25 on June 26 where you redirected links from Avi, but they all related to the author. AlistairMcMillan 01:49, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)

How can you call it a merge, when you replaced the entire content on the "Edward Irving Wortis" page with the entire content from "Avi"? [3]

On the subject of just copying and pasting... from the actual move page... "please do not just copy and paste the contents (doing that destroys the page's edit history)." Seems pretty clear to me.

The article itself says the author is "better known" by his pen name. All the links that currently point at the article, are all referencing the author, no-one else. The article should be named based on the standard of what do people think the thing/person/object is called. As far as I can tell, the guy is more commonly known as "Avi". AlistairMcMillan 02:30, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)

I don't understand what point you are trying to make by pointing to this... "Use the most common name of a person or thing that does not conflict with the names of other people or things." [4] As far as I can tell, there is only one person that goes by the name "Avi". And that is the name he is most commonly known by, I've yet to find a single cover image with the name Edward Irving Wortis printed on it, they all list "Avi" as the author. AlistairMcMillan June 29, 2005 02:14 (UTC)

[edit] Accidental delete

Hello Vegaswikian. I accidently deleted your user page when doing maintenance. I was checking the history of The Smokin' Nephew, which was a rubbish article and accidently clicked your user name instead of the revision that you made to that particular page. I then thought that your User page was the content of TSN. I've restored your user page; my apologies for any inconveniance. Oberiko 29 June 2005 00:09 (UTC)

[edit] Airline Amendments

Hi Vegaswickian. I,m the one who has been entering Code Data and Services etc in American airlines and guess why? - because it is consistent with the hundreds and hundreds of other airline entries for other countries. I also entered a lot of the destination lists and can accept their removal, but don't see why wholesale reversions had to be made to remove perfectly sound and reasonable changes, which tidied up articles that badly needed it. I have been working for a very, very long time to get some badly needed consistency into airline articles across the world. It would be nice if we could agree the Code Data and Services names and formats to start to allow some consistency. Ardfern 4 July 2005 18:42 (UTC)

  • I totally agree that "wiping out changes that were standardizing, or had standardized, the data in a way different then yours is counter productive", however, your apparent standardisation and template (from your airline project??) runs counter to that in hundreds of other airline articles from all over the world (which seems to be an actual standard in practice). By the way the corporate ownership piece was not removed, but simply inserted in a more appropriate and logical place in the article. Furthermore airlines provide services (both scheduled and charter) to destinations - airline services is a commonplace way of describing this in the aviation industry (it is also in standard use throughout the rest of the world's airline articles). Ardfern 4 July 2005 20:08 (UTC)

[edit] Worldperks

Actually the TfD vote was to use the already existing Category and not to create a list. In any case, the list you created is not a list, but rather the description of the program that should be placed at Worldperks, currently a redirect because of the loot it had created. Could you cut and past the other articles data there? A move would not work since the target is exists. Then your new list can be speedy deleted by your request. Since you did the only edit, there is no edit history that would need to be maintained if you did the cut and paste. Vegaswikian 17:01, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Yea, I seen it was under "categorify", but it had listify next to it, I previewed the log, and it had some listify votes, I figured the admin who moved it just stuck in in the wrong section. Either way, I dont mind it being deleted, the list, I just wanted it moved out of the "holding cell". Ok, are you wanting me to cut & paste the new page, or have it speedied to do a move? ∞Who?¿? 17:06, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Yes to cut and past. Vegaswikian 17:10, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
Which article do you want me to cut & paste from? Or to. (article A) -> (article B). Thanks. ∞Who?¿? 17:13, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
From the newly created List of Worldperks members and partners to Worldperks. If you are an admin, then maybe it would be easier to speedy the Worldperks redirect which is on RfD and then just do a move. Don't know if an admin can do a speedy in that case, but since the result would be the right thing maybe it is OK. Vegaswikian 17:17, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
Done, now I'll go update all the See also links I created before speedy request. ∞Who?¿? 17:25, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for the tip! I realized I needed to make that change, had started to go back to fix the edits. I was about half way through, when I went back to the American Pop Culture category and saw it was listed for deletion! Do you have any insight on this? I saw there's quite a list of categories for deletion, but that seems pretty frustrating. If someone has gone through the effort to help categorize content only to have an entire category removed, I'm sure that'll deter future enhancements.User:Barrettmagic (UTC) 16.01 August 3, 2005.

[edit] Template:Las Vegas casinos

Well, I came across one of the casino articles and thought the text that was displayed at the bottom ("this template has been blanked...") looked bizarre, not to mention stupid. So I re-added it the original template, because that looks better on the 30+ articles in question, and it's also informative to TFD voters without them having to root through the template history. I don't want to sound like a grumpy bastard here, but I get pissed off when I make what I think is a helpful, non-controversial bit of housekeeping and somebody posts "why, oh why, oh why..." on my talk page.

[edit] Golden Nugget

OK, I could definitely be wrong about this, but your moving of the word "displayed" in the Golden Nugget description might not be right. It is unclear whether the nugget is the biggest in the world, but it is the biggest on display. A meaningful distinction? I doubt it. But worth bringing up. Maybe.

[edit] Regarding US Airways

Since the airline are now operating as one brand/entity I decided to merge the pages. I am aware that they are operating under different FAA certificates, hence the Operated By in the fleet section. Airline 23:50, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

HP does offer some point-to-point flights out of SAN and LAX, but the vast majority of the flights have been cut recently or will be in the next month. Additionally, HP does not consider them to be focus cities, which is what I think matters in the end. All of the statements from the company have just referred to the 9 focus cities/hubs post-merger (CLT, PHL, PHX, PIT, LAS, DCA, LGA, BOS, FLL) RingMaruf 19:34, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Try the America West timetable, for one. Go to americawest.com to download it. Look at the schedules for LAX and SAN, and you'll see that most of the point-to-point destinations are being discontinued. The one or two remaining at each city is hardly sufficient to call it a focus city, much less a hub. RingMaruf 19:47, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] KFMS

Why is the list of programming I spent an hour creating not encyclopedic? All the major US TV betworks have them. See List of programs broadcast by CBS#Current primetime schedule to see what I mean.

[edit] Template:Lists of airports by ICAO code

Hi. I need a bit of help with this. I've just listed all the C airports which gives a list of over 1700 airports in Canada. The file is way to big. Is there any way you can adjust your template to split it up. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather 08:03, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

OK. I'll have the ICAO done in a few minutes. Should they be bold or not. So far I have done all the Nunavut, NWT and Yukon airports at least as far as stubs. I've done a few southern ones but not many. CambridgeBayWeather 08:18, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
Taking a bit longer than I thought. It turns out that when I made sure that all the Canadian airports had ICAO code redirects I missed at least one and created a wrong one by mistake. Right now I am just proofing the page but it takes about 3 minutes to load. 08:43, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
That looks a lot better. If you want put it on the other pages. I'll work on the intro tomorrow. Trying to finish up the redirects. CambridgeBayWeather 09:25, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

OK. I think I'm done for now. It's 3:45 am. It looks to me as if all the airports that have articles now have ICAO redirects/disambiguation pages. There are 5 blue links to non-airports and I'll fix them later when I get up. CambridgeBayWeather 09:47, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I've gone through the ICAO page and all the ICAO codes that went to disambiguation pages now go direct to the airport. The ones that go through redirects I've left alone. There were five blue links for ICAO's that didn't lead to airports. I created 3 more articles for the airports. The other two were for heliports. As heliports change quite often I didn't create articles for them but listed them in the format "heliport name|ICAO code".

I was puzzled though at first over the List of airports in Canada. After a few minutes though I figured it out. When you wrote "nav aid" you didn't mean it in an airport sense but as in a Wekipedia sense. I should have had my morning coffee before I started editing. It looks a lot better now that they are gone from the list. Thanks CambridgeBayWeather 19:38, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: anon 206.116.115.69

That's out of my area of expertise. Really the only info that I have on these airports is that published in the Canada Flight Supplement. As to the airlines I don't really know. They are not strange enough for me to be able to say. As to the template I think the work YOU did looks great. I did do anything except look at it. Thanks for the work on it. CambridgeBayWeather 04:42, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rivers

Please STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP! You are vandalizing the Rivers of the United States category. Please stop. Put the lists back into their appropriate category, as they are valuable and relevant. They include listings of redlinks which are looking for articles, and, in some cases, listings by watershed, which categories cannot handle. Please undo your vandalism. They need to be sorted alphabetically, which I have been working on gradually, but should not be removed from the category to which they are most relevant. Malepheasant 06:19, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

    • My problem is that you have deleted articles from their relevant category. The List of Alabama rivers is quite different from the Category:Alabama rivers as a cursory glance would suggest. The list belongs the Alabama Rivers cateogry and the Rivers of the United States category. Perhaps an explanation of the difference would be appropriate for the Category:Rivers of the United States (i.e., something along the lines that the lists are in the process of expansion and contain listings of articles which have not yet been written, including those for rivers which flow across multiple states, and, in some cases, listings by watershed, for which a single "United States" listing has not yet been constructed), but those articles should not be deleted from this category. There is a WikiProject Rivers that you might wish to join if you have further interest in this area. And why did you not leave a message on the category's talk page before pursuing this task?
      • I understand the normal convention... but in this case, wherein the "categories" component covers about a tenth of what is covered in the "list" component, I think it is worthwhile to maintain easier accessibility to a theoretical user who is looking for information about a particular river, and that the "Category:Alabama rivers" and "List of Alabama rivers" should exist side-by-side for now, in the same category. It's a tricky area to cover, since watersheds of rivers stretch across political boundaries, and there is some difficulty in naming: is an article about an Elk River which flows through Oklahoma and Missouri named "Elk River (Missouri)" or "Elk River (Oklahoma)"? And what if there are two rivers in the same state with the same name, and what if that river flows across a political boundary, so that there is a "Spring River" which flows through Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma and a "Spring River" which flows through Missouri and Arkansas (as is the case)? These are the things we are trying to work out, and I think that your reorganization of the category is premature. Malepheasant 07:13, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Do you know whether the public can travel to Mercury, Nevada?

[edit] Radio callsigns

Hi there...we can double check with the Radio Stations Project if you'd like, but I believe that sorting radio stations by the second letter of their callsign is only supposed to be done in categories where every radio station has the same first letter. If the category is a mix of C, K, W and V stations, then it has to be sorted by the first letter. (I'm raising this specifically in regards to VOCM-FM, because it doesn't fit into any category in which all the stations begin with V.) Bearcat 22:48, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

No worries; you're not even the only person I've seen doing that. But I posted a request to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Radio Stations to clarify the matter. Bearcat 00:51, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] touch pads and Cirque Corporation

Hi! Hope this is a good way to reach you, Vegaswikian? I am a complete newbie, so please pardon if my approach is all wrong. Thanks for cleaning out the non-encyclopedaeic material in the "touch pad" article. In response to your suggestion for re-write, I wrote what I hope is appropriate material about Cirque and it's role inventing the touch pads presently used on note book PCs. I've cited references and tried hard to maintain an NPOV. For now, I put it on the Cirque Corporation "discussion" page, because I don't understand the appropriate process, don't know how to add links and such, the format might use tweaking, and anyway thought someone like yourself should look it over first. What should be the next step? Where is the right forum for further discussion about this, if needed? And should I give you my contact info, or something? I'll check back here in a bit... Thanks again... wikipedia is very cool. 67.182.252.213 05:13, 24 October 2005 (UTC)gg

We have recently had an edit war regarding the wording and inclusion of a paragraph on the KTVX article. In hopes of resolving this I have put together an informal survey. If you are interested, please stop by Talk:KTVX and add a vote. Thanks, A 09:45, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] you wrote the lois tarkanian page...

how about a danny tarkanian page?

[edit] Picture of brothel?

Hi, I saw that you edited some of the articles related to prostitution in Nevada and was wondering if you could maybe make a photo of one of the brothels? It would be a nice addition to prostitution in Nevada. Cheers, AxelBoldt 01:04, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] BZZZZT! Wrong, but thanks for playing!

The correct callsign is "KJUL". Not "KJUL-FM". See the FCC database. 121a0012 04:14, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

No, that's not what it says. The guideline says Use the official call sign, as determined from the FCC database. 121a0012 14:44, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
BTW, I am not going to go back and fix all the articles again, only because WP policy would consider that an edit war. If you insist on them continuing to have deliberately erroneous information, on your own head be it. 121a0012 14:48, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Categories for deletion

Hi, You requested a number of categories for tv channels be renamed and added the template to those categories. Please note that the template assumes a standard way of adding the information to Wikipedia:Categories for deletion and if you do not do this then the link to the discussion breaks. I very nearly reverted your change due to lack of discussion.

I understand, and indeed support your reasoning for concatenating them together at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2005 December 20#Category:Television stations sub-cats, but may I suggest that, as a courtesy, you link to this on the talk page for the category, or preferably, create the section and add a link on to the correct section, in order to prevent people reaching the wrong place and having to search – MrWeeble Talk Brit tv 11:19, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually just noticed there is a template which is more appropriate for this at {{Cfru}}. I shall go through those cats and retemplate them – MrWeeble Talk Brit tv 11:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Poster Financial Group

Hi Vegaswikian, I just wanted to let you know that Poster Financial Group is not defunct, It is still a fully functioning corporation. Let me explain how the Landry's acquistion of the Golden Nugget was executed, First Landry's formed a wholly owned subsidary called Landry's Gaming to aquire the assets of Poster Financial Group which owns the gaming licenses of GNLV, Inc. (d/b/a Golden Nugget Las Vegas) and GNL, Inc. (d/b/a Golden Nugget Laughlin) and following the completion of the merger Poster Financial in turn became a wholly owned subsidary of Landry Gaming. Landry's Gaming does not own any of the gaming licenses (Poster does) but they were required to be investigated and found suitable as a holding company of a gaming licensee (again Poster). Hope this information helps. Misterrick 06:35, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Talk Page Archiving

Hi again Vegaswikian, Just a suggestion, Maybe you need to start archiving your talk page because it seems to be getting extremely long and hard to navigate. Misterrick 06:39, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Civil Air Patrol Categorization

May I ask why you removed Category:United States Air Force from the article on Civil Air Patrol? Since CAP is the USAF's official auxiliary, wouldn't it make sense for the CAP article to be in the USAF category? Grant 23:44, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

That makes sense. Thanks! Grant 00:19, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
