Template:Did you know nominations/Grand Turk Lighthouse, Turks & Caicos National Museum
Your nomination Template:Did you know nominations/Grand Turk Lighthouse, Turks & Caicos National Museum seems fine apart from a QPQ review which I presume is still needed.— Rod talk 11:03, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Chicago in the 1930s
Why did you create Chicago in the 1930s? Shouldn't it just be a part of History of Chicago? Have you seen this done for other cities?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:10, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Why? Because it's a very important era for the city. Rather regret letting you know now...♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 14:53, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Guthrie Govan may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it.

Library in LV
Just saw your note about the library in LV. Don't know why I missed it earlier. Libraries are open here 7 days/wk. Love going there and just sitting in a big chair reading a book I'm about to check out. --Rosiestep (talk) 05:30, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Dog and Duck
I have just done enough work on the Dog and Duck (tavern) to get a place in the DYK queue. I have put you down as co-author so you may want to take a fresh look. I've found a good source and a nice image but don't have time to do much more today. Getting the QPQ done is the next chore... Warden (talk) 09:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Done, thanks!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 10:07, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Many thanks for taking care of that. More anon. Warden (talk) 10:09, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Amelia's Incline
The article Amelia's Incline has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Not notable. It is mentioned in a 1957 article (The Eley source is a 14 page article from 1957, not a full book). And, well, that's it. A forum post on wehrmacht-awards.com mentions it, but that doesn't count towards notability. No idea why this has been assessed as mid-importance for Gibraltar, it has no importance whatsoever, it is not some major road or train tunnel. Not everything that exists should get its own article.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fram (talk) 12:29, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
I agree, but why the prod and talk page drill? Why not just ask for me to delete it?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 14:31, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
- I mistakenly didn't expect a favourable reply. My mistake. Can you cast a glance across some of the other roads and tunnels? Some of them seem to be having similar problems. Things like Ball Alley System, Brewery Chambers, Brewery Tunnel, Little Bay Tunnel have at first glance the same problems, while e.g. Turnbull's Lane, Bishop Caruana Road, Boyd Street, and Buena Vista Road, Gibraltar are a little bit better but still doesn't convey any sense of notability. No need to suddenly delete them all if you feel that they (or some of them) have more notability than what is there now, or if you want to check them more thoroughly. Fram (talk) 14:47, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
If they can't be expanded, and you're certain they're not notable, I'll trust your judgement in deleting them. I'm pretty busy today but feel free to delete as "author requested deletion". If you delete any which could be reasonably expanded the loss will be minimal anyway as they've yet to be expanded.. ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 14:49, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll take a second look at them to make sure that they aren't obviously notable, and for any of them, feel free to ask for restoration if you (or anyone else) wants them back. If I'm not available, you can use this post to convince any other admin to undelete them if necessary without bothering to check with me first. Fram (talk) 14:54, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

- Little Bay Tunnel had one further mention in a reliable source (The Royal Engineers Journal volume 77), the other tunnels had no further mentions at all (as far as I could check of course, they are probably mentioned once or twice in more local or specialized sources). I have accordingly deleted them. I'll check the roads now. Fram (talk) 15:01, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

-
- Boyd Street was only noted as the location of Queen's Hotel (which has its own article), Bishop Caruana Road has some local mentions of its very recent construction, and Turnbull's Lane had no obvious notability either. Buena Vista Road seemed at first glance to have a bit more notability, so I left that one alone. Fram (talk) 15:15, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

That's fine. Thanks.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 18:33, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Apology
I'm very sorry Blofeld. You know that my intention was pure. I have cried seeing what happened on the FAC. I was too desperate to take it to FA ASAP. But, once I knew what it mean, I stopped asking others. Come on you know how I feel seeing bad history behind article. I'm very ashamed of my behavior. I apologized to Brain and Crisco. But, I never asked their support but the constructive comments much like Victoria. I don't know what to say further.—Prashant 03:08, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
