Reasons why to not call me Dudeperson

1. I would calmly tell you this quote

It's Dudeperson 176123 not Dudeperson!

2. I just think it would be good to Wikipedia

3. You only live a short life you should NOT block people for over a year.

Your article creations

You seem to be very enthusiastic about creating new articles. That's not a bad thing, if the articles you are creating should exist. However, you're creating articles about roadways with questionable notability, and that's a problem. You should read up about WP:GNG, which is explained quite well over at WP:42. State highway systems easily satisfy the GNG rule, but with the many pieces to cover, a scheme to cover them has developed. Described at WP:USRD/MP, the "Michigan Plan" describes the idea that there should be a hierarchy of articles that fully cover the system to avoid WP:SIZE-related issues. While our policies may say that notability can't be inherited, the Michigan Plan works with the concept that state highways should be covered in a way that avoids gaps in the system even if some articles may not strictly satisfy the GNG rule.

Articles on state highways are presumed to get an independent article if you can find enough to write about them. We apply the GNG test to other levels of roadways to decide if they should get articles. There's are reasons that H-58 or County Road 595 have articles while H-01 or County Road 456 do not. For those with articles, they have the types of coverage in the types of sources we require to establish notability for independent articles while the others do not. Even where we don't write a separate article, we can still cover a roadway to cover the parts of a system of roads, like we do with H-01.

That last idea also applies to state highways. In most states, it's actually pretty rare for a road to achieve that status. In my home state of Michigan, there are 9,669 miles (15,561 km) of state highways out of 120,256 miles (193,533 km) of roadways in the state. That's only about 8% of the state's roads. Something special sets them apart, which is why we presume they're notable.

But that isn't a guarantee we'll devote an independent article to each state highway. M-164 redirects to the row of the state highway list's table because we wouldn't have more to say about it than its termini, length, and dates of existence. M-178 is covered in the history of M-28 because all of old M-178 is part of the route of M-28 now. The history of M-554 is intertwined with that of M-553, but its route was different, so it's covered as a separate section of the M-553 article. Business routes are often merged into their parent highways' articles, or they're grouped together, like Business routes of Interstate 75 in Michigan when such a merger would create an article that's too large.

In short, state-maintenance is not a guarantee that an article should exist. It means we should cover the roadway, although we can limit that coverage to a list, a section of another article, or even just a single row in a table. Imzadi 1979 → 08:20, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Boston-Providence Highway

Imzadi 1979 → 08:25, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

New user orientation

I really think you need to read Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/New user orientation and look at some high-quality articles before you go any further with editing on state highway articles. Your recent creations are very problematic. Some of the text has been very confusing, almost to the point that it was incoherent to read. You're working on articles about non-notable, or barely notable, roadways. As I explained, not every state highway gets a separate article, and sometimes it is best to cover roads elsewhere and not write a full article.

If you have questions, please ask. We are a collaborative project. We work through communicating with each other. If people are taking the time to try to explain thing to you, and you just ignore them, then you'll find that other editors will start ignoring you too. You could see editors continuing to nominate stuff for deletion in ways you can't stop by removing a notice. As you've found out, you can just remove a PROD tag, but if someone sends one of your articles to WP:AFD, you're not allowed to remove the tag. Once something is at AFD, other editors will voice their opinions, and you'll just be one of group of people commenting. If the AFD discussion determines that an article is to be deleted, it is gone. If you recreate it without fixing the issues that lead to its deletion, it can be WP:CSD-tagged for immediate deletion. In short, ask questions, get clarification and reply when others talk to you, or else your career here could be short and unpleasant. Imzadi 1979 → 13:14, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

As I've tried to tell you, some roadways should not get articles. They might get coverage on Wikipedia, but not as separate articles. You really need to heed the advice you're being given and read up on our notability requirements around here. As for the articles you've been creating, let's take a quick survey of their fates:

• Rocky Neck Connector: redirects to a list
• Alps Road, Branford: deleted
• Pulaski Circle: WP:PROD-ed and now at WP:AFD
• Slip (Dead End): deleted (and very oddly titled)
• George Washington Boulevard PROD-ed and now redirects to a list entry because of concerns over notability for a full article
• Standish Way: PROD-ed and now at AFD
• Boston–Providence Highway: PROD-ed and now a redirect. Also, this one could be misnamed as it seems you renamed the entry in the table and the old name may need to be restored. What do the reliable sources actually call it? Maps seem to omit the "Boston–" part.
• Rockland Street in Hingham, Massachusetts: deleted. It was also misnamed; the city would be added in parentheses like "Rockland Street (Hingham, Massachusetts)".
• Leominster Connector‎: redirected
• List of Connector roads in Massachusetts: redirected as a duplicate of a section of List of numbered routes in Massachusetts. Is there any source that says the Massachusetts Department of Transportation uses "connector road" as an official classification, or are you just calling them that? If so, then you really need to read WP:NOR, our policy on "no original research". That's one of the 5 Core Principles around here. In short, you need an existing source for any ideas you're adding to Wikipedia because we don't publish your original ideas.
• List of Numbered Highways in Connecticut and List of Highways in Connecticut: both duplicated existing lists and has been redirected

Of all of the articles you've created, Branford Connector (Connecticut) is the only one in good shape because other editors have expanded it and cleaned it up. It's borderline at the moment for being redirect into the list though.

So please read the new user orientation guide I linked above. Look over a few important policies, like WP:NOR, WP:V, WP:N, and WP:RS. Your editing career will be much less frustrating if you can learn some basics to avoid creating articles that just get deleted or redirected. Imzadi 1979 → 22:26, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Oh, I am about 15 days old on Wikipedia but what is going happen to Massachusetts Route 85 Connector and U.S. Route 20 Connector? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dudeperson176123 (talk • contribs) 22:33, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes, and it's encouraging that you're finally replying. (Note, you need to end your postings on talk pages with four tildes: ~~~~ to insert a proper signature.) If you hadn't started replying, some administrator could have blocked your account from editing to force you to communication with those of use who have concerns. As for those other two new articles, well, I have two immediate questions.

1. Are they actually called that by MassDOT? If they aren't, then the articles need to be renamed (moved) to correct names.
2. Are there any sources about those roads that would establish their notability? If not, they may need to be merged into sections of the parent highways. (Not "father highways".)

What happens next depends on the answers to those questions. They could end up nominated for deletion. Imzadi 1979 → 22:50, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

MA 85 & US 20 Connectors

For the record, let's try to straighten things out. MA 85 Connector and US 20 Connector are mild roads that don't deserve their own articles, in fact US 20 Connector is barely existent.

What is this photo?

A customized photo of a Connecticut road sign with 994 on it. Dudeperson176123 (talk) 00:30, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

There's no license for the photo, and that's a big problem. Given that the photo doesn't look anything like an actual sign in use, it should never appear in any articles, and it may be nominated for deletion. I seriously suggest that you add a {{db-g7}} tag to the file's description page so that and admin can delete it without forcing this to go to a deletion discussion.

"ferry highway"

I challenge your usage of this as a term. I can find no source that uses the term. Please stop restoring it unless you can find a source. Continuing to restore it may constitute vandalism, and continuing to vandalize articles may result in suspension of your editing privileges. (In other words, you can be blocked.)

BRD cycle of editing

You need to read WP:BRD. It's not an official policy, but it is a very good way to handle editing.

In short:

• Bold: you can be bold in adding or changing content. That does not mean your changed will be well received. If they aren't, someone may...
• Revert: they may revert your changes to the article. This is a sign that they disagree with either what you added, how you added it, or something else. At this point, if you believe your changes should be incorporated in some way, it is time to...
• Discuss: open a discussion on the article's talk page. Maybe the other person likes the information to be added, but disagrees with the location in the article or the way it is formatted. Perhaps your change broke something in the article that needed to be fixed. Maybe you're trying to add something inappropriate to the article. Either way, you'll never know until you start a dialog. However, if you just reinsert your changes, that's edit warring, and that's bad. You can be blocked for edit warring. Imzadi 1979 → 16:19, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. Imzadi 1979 → 16:11, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for repeated creation of inappropriate content (articles and images, including copyright violations). Your lack of response to any feedback and your repeated refusal to stop your disruptive editing suggests that you are not here to contribute in a beneficial manner. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Kinu ^t/_c 03:53, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

The number of articles you create is not relevant. The content is. So far virtually all of the articles you have created, mostly about minor and insignificant roads, have been deleted, merged or redirected, and this cannot go on. If unblocked, what do you intend to write about? Hint - writing in the same vein will not be accepted. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 11:24, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

As the blocking administrator, given the lack of constructive editing and the sockpuppetry/block evasion, I don't believe an unblock would be beneficial to the encyclopedia. --Kinu ^t/_c 16:48, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kinu: I have not promised unblock, merely posed a question.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 17:09, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

I think you should unblock me for at least 24 hours

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

• the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
• the block is no longer necessary because you

1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

I understand why I was blocked I was creating to many images and articles that did not fit the English Wikipedia and I learned that lesson Dudeperson176123 (I am a dude) (talk) 11:06, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Decline reason:

It is clear from this request that you do NOT understand why you were blocked. The number of articles you created is not relevant. The fact that nearly all of them were either articles about non-notable roads, breaches of copyright law or duplicates of existing articles is the critical issue; and this you Have failed to understand in spite of many warnings and three failed unblock requests. In my opinion competence issues preclude your unblock here.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 11:53, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Decline reason:

After reading though the material that lead to your last block, and the subsequent conversation below, it seems fairly clear that you have no idea why you are blocked and would immediately resume the poor edits that prompted this action. As this is the sixth request, and it does not seem to be improving, I'm going to remove your access to this page. Any other administrator is free to reverse this if they're seeing something I'm missing, but this looks like a time sink for our volunteers. Kuru (talk) 01:53, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Just a comment from a non-admin, but I don't know that your latest request will be successful either. I would seriously suggest that you take a break and remove the request. Give things a few days at least before you restore the request. Let the situation cool down, or some admin is liable to remove talk page access, and you won't be able to make any new requests.

The first of those three proposed articles certainly should meet the notability requirements. Since you can't currently edit or create drafts, what I'd suggest is that you start a new section here on your talk page. In that section, I would list the sources you plan to use for the article with a one- or two-sentence comment on what that source will reference in the future article. This shouldn't be anything too detailed, just a brief sketch to prove that the topic meets our notability guidelines. Then when you do make a new request in a few days, or a few weeks, you'll be able to show us that you've got a grasp on the basics. An admin is more likely to view a new request favorably then.

Sometimes comments are worthless yours was (partially) I want the make those articles Wikipedia at least needs Connecticut River Scenic Byway Dudeperson176123 (I am a dude) (Chat?) 18:59, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Regarding your sixth (and last) unblock request While there doesn't seem to be any issue regarding good faith on your part, you clearly don't understand what is and what is not inappropriate in terms of article creation, highlighted by your announced intention to create Dudeperson (disambiguation) in article space. The only way I can imagine you being unblocked any time soon is if you agree to stop creating articles and using the articles for creation process instead until you have a clear enough comprehension of Wikipedia policy.

"indefinite [adj.] 1. Without limit; forever, or until further notice; not definite". You have an indefinite block. There is no pre-determined period when it would end. Instead, it will end when you've demonstrated that you understand the reasons for your block, that you've learned from the situation, and that your future contributions would not have those same issues present. I don't think we've reached that point yet.

I suggested above that you basically create a short annotated bibliography for articles you'd like to create. My idea was that you could demonstrate some working knowledge of the types of sources that show the notability of an article. For a topic to have an article, it needs to be notable in our Wikipedia sense. the General Notability Guideline (GNG) is a great starting point. That guideline says that we need significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject.

You mentioned a scenic byway article that you wanted to create. That would be a good topic for an article because there should be tour guides and newspaper articles about the byway in addition to maps. Those are the types of sources we need to demonstrate notability for a stand-alone article. If you want to create new articles, that's what you need, or else the articles we will have the same issues as before.

Instead of taking my suggestion, you've created infoboxes for more minor roads that fail to individually meet notability. If you were unblocked and created those as separate articles, they would be deleted or redirected. That's the same situation that earned you the block. These minor connector roads just do not warrant articles, but you don't seem to get that. Imzadi 1979 → 03:49, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

I have been blocked to long

I am started to notice I have been blocked for almost a month! I hope I get unblocked soon Dudeperson176123 (I am a dude) (talk) 23:21, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely. You'll have to make a request to be unblocked, because the block has no defined end date. That request will not be successful unless you can demonstrate that you have learned from the situation(s) that prompted your block. Given that you were blocked for WP:CIR-based reasons, I do not know that you can demonstrate such growth and maturity, as well as such new-found knowledge, in just a month's time. Imzadi 1979 → 23:35, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

How do you do a request I have been on for a month only on the Wikipedia? Dudeperson176123 (I am a dude) (talk) 23:39, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

The directions are in the block notice above. Imzadi 1979 → 00:14, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Annotated bibliography suggestion

Let me reiterate my suggestion. As you have probably noticed by now, I've removed all of your infoboxes and other content for future articles. The suggestion was for you to make a brief annotated bibliography for each article you'd like to create if unblocked. The suggestion was not to write articles, or create the content for those articles. Also, you can't put the stub templates on your talk page without categorizing your talk page as a stub.

In short: if you were to create a new article, what sources would you use, and would what they cite? If the topic doesn't have enough sources of the right kinds, that article would be deleted or redirected. If you can't demonstrate that you understand this basic aspect of our policies and guidelines, you will not be unblocked. Imzadi 1979 → 13:55, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

No thanks I don't want people knowing about me sorry D: Dudeperson176123 (I am a dude) (Chat?) 15:33, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

The suggestion has nothing to do with you personally. For example, if I were going to create an article about the Connecticut Rivery Scenic Byway, I'd start with this webpage from the FHWA and its subpages. That establishes that it's a Nationa Scenic Byway, which is a pretty special and notable classification to start. Then I'd probably expand upon that with this official webpage. There's a half dozen more available on a simple Google search, and that's before looking for an newspaper articles to establish the history of the designation. Imzadi 1979 → 23:29, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

You are blocked from editing articles. You shouldn't be attempting to evade that block by creating drafts of article content here on the only page you can edit. I invited you to use this space in a limited capacity to demonstrate you have an understanding of the sorts of research and sources needed to demonstrate notability. If the articles you were to create in the future weren't up to those basic standards, your creations would just continue to be deleted or redirected. Since you don't seem to be willing to follow the limits of that suggestion, I think that it might be time that I rescind that suggestion. Any additional infoboxes or article content added to your talk will be summarily removed by me. Imzadi 1979 → 19:28, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Of you are not letting me think fine! But please create Connecticut River Scenic Byway after you've finished your research I am not sure how you are going to find newspapers about Vermont and New Hampshire because I read both your user page and your talk page.

That was just an idea okay? Dudeperson176123 (I am a dude) (talk) 20:05, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

I have similarly removed the content here on "Accessways". Given this, you clearly haven't figured out that Wikipedia isn't for things that you've made up. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:02, 15 September 2015 (UTC) Okay I read it Dudeperson176123 (I am a dude) (talk) 20:05, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

I never offered to do the research. I just did a single Google search and had three good sources that I located in 30 seconds of work. Another search at http://news.google.com/ through their Archives could turn up some additional newspaper sources, depending on which newspapers they have archived. There are other websites or libraries out there that could have appropriate sources to be used. My user and user talk pages will offer you no assistance in locating these.

In short: if you're not willing to do research, you should not be creating articles around here. Imzadi 1979 → 23:40, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
