[edit] Map in infobox

That wasn't my idea - the huge Washington infobox already has it. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 18:37, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm the person who's been doing the maps on the Washington project. The original discussions behind the maps are here. In principle I like the idea of including other information on the maps, including major junctions. Unfortunately, at that small size it's hard to include much detail other than the route itself and have it make sense on the map--some of them are just ridiculous as it is. In fact, I'm thinking of redoing the maps with thicker red lines now that it looks like they're being reduced from 190px to 150px in the routeboxes. At that size, junction information will just become an illegible mess. That said, now that I've recreated all the maps in SVG format they can be scaled up arbitrarily, and there's a lot more detail you can see at 800px. Let me know if you have any ideas. --phh 00:33, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] So who is JohnnyBGood then?

I'm sorry, but if there was another user out there who had that much in common with me, I'd be frightened out of my mind. You seem to be taking it rather well. — Apr. 1, '06 [08:45] <freakofnur_xture|talk>

Also, I'd like to hear your response to the remainder of the summary, rather than the fact that you don't endorse it. Why would anyone expect you to? — Apr. 1, '06 [08:48] <freakofnur_xture|talk>

No, you made no reply to my explanation that SPUI was merely fixing a double redirect rather than deliberately inhibiting page moves, as you had been doing. — Apr. 1, '06 [09:58] <freakofnur_xture|talk>

"Good faith?" Cue laugh track. — Apr. 1, '06 [10:06] <freakofnur_xture|talk>

[edit] SPUI and all that stuff

I'm uninvolved in the SPUI RfC, and, for the record, I don't have a high opinion of SPUI. But I've been shown some pretty strong evidence that is being gathered in relation to JonnyBGood. No, as of yet the evidence is not conclusive, but some pretty determinded people are working on it, and if there is a conclusion to be found, rest assured that they are going to find it. They always do. I'd strongly suggest that if you have anything further to say on the matter that you say it now. If really don't know anything else, then my sincere apologies for this post. There are a lot of us that know how frustrating SPUI can be and, to some degree, strong reactions to him are understandable.. --Doc ^ask? 12:05, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't know what you want me to say to them. They seem pretty determined to drag both our names through the mud in their zeal to defend that ass SPUI. Doesn't shock me. From the day I first interacted with him the guy has had his own little bodyguard squad of admins protecting him just because he's made 50k worth of edits, most of them being page moves and redirects however so I don't see what they think he's added to the project. But I will try for what it's worth. As for stalking you, there is nothing in the rules I've seen that says I can't track your user contribs or SPUIs or Rschen's like I do. I use them as a kind of watch page. If someone would like to point me to where that is wrong, then please do so, otherwise I'll continue to do so as I please. JohnnyBGood 18:41, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images on User:Gateman1997/babel

Gateman1997, the use of fair use images on User:Gateman1997/babel is a direct violation of Wikipedia:Fair_use#Policy item #9. The Wikimedia Foundation has established a policy that heavily restricts their use outside of the main article namespace. Your user subpage is not part of the main article namespace. I have no desire to get into a revert war with you. Therefore I'm requesting that you please remove the images as I removed them. Please understand that I am in no way attempting to frustrate you or otherwise anger you. I am simply attempting to protect Wikipedia against copyright violation claims and adhering to Wikipedia policy as noted above. All the best, --Durin 16:10, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

• Gateman1997, thank you for your response. I appreciate your willingness to discuss this. While different interpretations may or may not be valid, the Wikimedia Foundation has taken a firm stance against fair use images being used in userspace. Please see the policy I noted above. With particular respect to your claim, that policy states "All other uses, even if legal under the fair use clauses of copyright law, should be avoided". Therefore, while your claim of fair use might be legal, it's proscribed by the Wikimedia Foundation. Therefore, the images need to be removed from your babel subpage. Thanks, --Durin 16:19, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] almaden expressway question

Hey Gateman:

I am trying to find out if there is any information available anywhere, other than the brief entry on wikipedia, about the construction of the Almaden Expressway in Santa Clara.

Specifically, I am interested in finding information about a house that CalTrans moved. CalTrans moved the house back maybe a few hundred feet to make way for the expressway, and I'm trying to find out if any records about that move might exist anywhere.

Do you know how I might find such information?

Thanks.

pm.

[edit] Cookie cutters

You're right, The Stick was not a cookie cutter. It was not especially well designed, but it made up for that with its poor location. The cookie cutters, as I see it, were the concrete donuts, the round ones that looked like they had been produced by a gigantic cookie cutter: Washington, New York NL (2/3 of one, anyway), Atlanta, St. Louis, Houston, etc. Wahkeenah 03:29, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hiya!

I just noticed that your userbox-box has an empty image for the "I use Mozilla Firefox" userbox. Currently, you have your own userbox in this space, but the image file that it points to "Mozilla Firefox.png" is non-extant.

You may wish to use {{user browser:PrefersFirefox}} instead, or perhaps link to the image used in that userbox "User browser firefox.png" instead.

[edit] CorbinSimpson's Request for Adminship

Thanks for voting in my request for administrator rights, even though it failed (13/30/4). Sadly, work has forced me to respond to you all using a substituted message rather than a personalized response. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that administrators, to me, should be chosen and approved by the community, and I will continue working to become a better editor and Wikipedian. No matter what the alignment of your vote was, I will take your comments seriously and use them to improve myself. If you wish to discuss your comments personally with me, I would be more than glad to talk about things since the RfA is now over; just leave your concern on my talk page and we will sort things out. Thanks again for voting, and happy editing! - Corbin ^{Be excellent}

—fuzzy510 05:57, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

If you are going to contest the deletion, please make a comment on the Images for Deletion page linked to above, and do not remove the links. With that said, I suggest that you consult WP:FUC, where it is clearly stated under criterion #1 that unfree material should be transformed into free material if it exists. While nobody has taken a free picture, the fact remains that since Talladega is still in existence, one could be taken. The fact that nobody has taken the initiative does not change this. It may not seem completely fair, but it's how it is. I suggest that you look at prior images that were listed in the same manner, since there is a precedent for this decision. --fuzzy510 18:05, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Even if I'm misinterpreting where the free material is coming from (which I am certain I am not), its relevance here is clear, since it clearly states "if the subject of the photograph still exists, a free photograph could be taken." I stand by my marking of the image. --fuzzy510 18:26, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox Baseball Stadium

Thank you for correcting me.

I've now added dimensions (as an optional field) to Infobox Stadium, would that mean that (now) Infobox Baseball Stadium could be replaced by the more generic Infobox Stadium, or is there some further information still missing?- David Björklund (talk) 08:11, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Break

Unfortunately, I will be away from Wikipedia for a few months. My access to the site has been limited and I can only get on during a few hours a week. However, during summer my schedule changes, and thus I am unable to get back on Wikipedia.

You may contact me however, at Wikisource or by email (keep me updated on the arbcom case, I will be able to respond)...

I'm not really sure when I'll be returning. Possibly in August or September... although I signed up to take AP Chemistry, AP Language, AP U.S. History, Pre-Calculus, Spanish 4, Physics, and Eschatology and Hermaneutics. Don't know how the homework load will be. But rest assured... I'll be back.

[edit] Please clarify

You said on SPUI's talk page, "Freak, Johnny, PHenry, Northenglish, Nohat, and Rschen were also equally as culpable and yet they're all skating through scott free on this which isn't kosher." I agree that it takes two to tango; however, I'm curious as to exactly what you find me equally culpable for, as I have made exactly four page moves, none of which have anything to do with the Arbcom case. -- Northenglish (talk) -- 07:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your apology. There's no need for you to change anything, since as far as I can tell, you only made the comment on SPUI's talk page. I voluntarily added myself to the Arbcom case because at the time it seemed that the more people involved in the case, the more likely SPUI was to accept arbitration. I disagree with SPUI's methods, and I also disagree with some of the methods used in retalliation against him. Thanks for your input on the case as a fellow relatively neutral party. -- Northenglish (talk) -- 22:28, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cicero's

Hi, Thanks for the message on my talk page. I've had a look at the revised version of the article and it's certainly much clearer now why there might be a case for keeping an article about a single pizzeria. The link [2] for example gives some weight to the notability arguement. A few points:

1. I'm seeing something like 30 distinct Ghits in total.
2. The current outlet is the third of the same name. The first two (under the original owner) seem to have had more character and more connection with Apple (as far as I can tell from Google). At least some of the more enthusiastic hits refer to the earlier incarnations.
3. It's not at all clear to what extent the current incarnation is a genuine reopening of the same restaurant [3] for example seems to be suggesting it's just two guys from NY using the same name. The article suggests much more continuity - that may very well be the case, but it seems unverifiable from here.
4. The Best Pizza of Silicon Valley 2005CitySearch.com [4] seems to be an audience vote You voted for the best Pizza in Silicon Valley, and we counted. Its not clear how many votes might have been cast and how open the vote might have been to outside influence - I'm not saying there's anything suspicious about it, but I'd like to know more about the voting system before deciding.
5. WP:CORP represents rough guidelines rather than policy.

If you'd like to add anything to above I'm certainly happy to consider further!

Dlyons493 Talk 19:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, just wondering if you'd had time to reconsider your vote on the AFD for Cicero's Pizza after the new information that has come to light that it is notable and does meet WP:CORP. Thanks. Gateman1997 04:30, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

My opinion is unchanged regarding this article. Two of the sources for the article are unreliable, the blog and the reviews on the AOL cityguide. Reliable sources says: "At the other end of the reliability scale lie personal websites, blogs, bulletin boards, and Usenet posts, which are not acceptable as sources." As for the remainder, the Courier article doesn't work for me and articles of the quality of [5], [6] and [7] don't really serve to demonstrate notability. Perhaps the AfD will be relisted as inconclusive by the closing editor.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  06:35, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Why not? Isn't the userspace the place to Sandbox? However I've seen no policy that says I can't use my userspace for encyclopedic uses or uses that fall under WP:USER. Besides I like that resturant and disagree with it's deletion since most of the delete votes were in error. The establishment did meet WP:CORP. Gateman1997 20:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tillamook Rock Light

Hi, I see you made a redirect for the article I started from Tillamook Rock Lighthouse to Tillamook Rock Light. I'm not an expert but I see "lighthouse" gets more Google hits than "light". The NPS Maritime Heritage Program appears to prefer the designation "light" [8], while the NRHP's listing has it as "lighthouse." [9] Personally, I think it makes more sense to have it on Wikipedia as a "lighthouse", as that is how it appears most people refer to it, and also for consistency with the other lighthouse articles, but I'd like to hear why you think it should be "light." Also all the links to the "lighthouse" need to be fixed to reflect the change. Thanks! Katr67 14:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Well I'll buy that. Where was the discussion? As a wikiresource myself, I'll probably go ahead and fix the redirects when I come across them. And I'll go ahead and take care of the Oregon entries. So what about lists? Seems like "List of Foo Lighthouses" still works, right? Katr67 02:41, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer, but I had better not join any more Wikiprojects. Lighthouses are just a side project relating to Oregon for me (I'd like to make sure all the Oregon ones at least get a stub soon). Mostly I'm working on Oregon communities and that's going to keep me busy for a while. But if you get a project going, I'd be interested in knowing about it. And man, those highway articles are crazy--I dabble in them a bit too, but they give me a headache. Katr67 03:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Alligator Reef Light

I see you are converting a number of article names from "lighthouse" to "Light". You may not have noticed, but I started the above article with that name, but another editor changed all the lighthouse articles I had started from "Light" to "lighthouse". As I am not an admin, I haven't been able to change them back (with redirects in the way), although I have been able to start more articles using "Light" in the name. I also noticed that you proposed a lighthouse project to another user. There was a bit of an informal effort a few months back to improve lighthouse articles, which resulted in the Template:Infobox Lighthouse. Having reached my personal goal of having an article for every known lighthouse in Florida, I'm not keen on joining another project, but you can see who works a lot on lighthouses from the histories of the lists. -- Donald Albury^(Talk) 13:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greetings

Hello Gateman, I'm not a new user even though my contributions are a little bit poor. I only wrote some useful and brief articles on Uruguayan geography, most of which were read by native speakers and corrected in the way they considered more appropriate. My aim is to keep in touch with people from USA, UK, Canada and other English-speaking countries. As you may notice I'm a Spanish native speaker, born and raised in Uruguay, South America but living in Catalonia, Spain (near the border with Andorra and France). Among my interests are American and English literature, language, American culture and geography, etc. I study English linguistics at college, in order to become a teacher someday..ah.. and by the way, I'm 20 years old. In the Spanish wikipedia, I wrote a large list of American authors from Beecher Stowe, Douglass, Chopin, Smith, Garrison Lloyd and Bradstreet to Rowlandson (most of them are translated from English into Spanish). Right now, I'm writing about Canadian territories and provinces, and about the American State of Idaho. William Shakespeare is the most important I've ever written before, and also has a star :) Well, that's all for now and sorry if you report some terrible spelling mistakes (sometimes I don't know how to write or in which way I should do it). I hope you can help me in my stay and let me feel comfortable in this wonderful experience, being my second place in wikipedia (after the Spanish one) and my third home.

[edit] Image:Sjmunicipalstadium.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sjmunicipalstadium.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ccwaters 02:56, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
