Pre-RFC straw poll

There is a brief straw poll to see if conducting a RFC on the question of coordinates in road articles is worthwhile. Your input would be appreciated. --Rschen7754 08:19, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Genre Change

so,you're saying as if everybody's going to rely on only one song,thats utter nonsense. Metalvayne (talk) 16:06, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm saying that rock is all encompassing for a band that is not strictly metal. To Bid You Farewell is a good example of the extreme opposite of that spectrum. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 23:54, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Bad speedies

I was shocked that an admin accepted your speedy tag on Faraday - did you see how many incoming links it has? By all means convert this into a disambiguation page, but you certainly do not tag it for deletion. In the case of Emergency Detour Route, by all means tag this for deletion but you must fix the two incoming links before you do so. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:10, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Please go back and delete them. You have undone the first steps necessary to convert them into A) a proper hatnoted page for a disambiguation of two items and B) the proper capitalization. This is why the speedies were for a page move, not to just delete the target of said moves. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 21:44, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Lists of roads by county

I had to move List of numbered roads in Grey County, Ontario back... There was a Grey County in Western Australia and one in New Zealand. Since the Ontario location isn't the primary topic, the road list needs to be disambiguated as well. Imzadi 1979 → 21:33, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

No, only if another List of numbered roads in Foo County exists, as per WP:CANSTYLE and the standard setup for road lists in Ontario divisions (which isn't necessarily the same setup that'd be used Down Under. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 23:16, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

File:Dark side of the moon mobile fidelity cd FUI.jpg listed for deletion

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Dark side of the moon mobile fidelity cd FUI.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. –Dream out loud (talk) 01:04, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

401 FA?

Want to give the 401 another shot at the FA nomination? It's been sitting in A-class nomination forever. With a past FA evaluation, ongoing promotion to A class and your FA success with the DVP, I think it's worth another go. The article has also improved vastly since the last FA review. Haljackey (talk) 02:10, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Yeah its been itching at the back of my mind for a while now. I'd get far more constructive feedback out of a failed FA than out of a stagnant A-Class Review. I'll probably go for it on my study break in mid-October. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 04:14, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I apologize about the ACR; I've tried to get that going again, but it's been difficult. --Rschen7754 05:00, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

129.15.x.x IP vandal

Before you re-post this to AIV or ANI, I'd recommend seeing what WP:ABUSE can do. In a case like this, with a 65,000-address pool, we can't really rangeblock effectively. m.o.p 19:23, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks :) Just posted there. I had assumed AIV was the place for Ip vandalism of all types. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 19:32, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

So I assumed. I'll weigh in on AR as well. Cheers, m.o.p 19:39, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

I've created an edit filter to deal with our little problem. See here for more details. So far, it tests successfully - I'm going to unprotect all the protected pages and see how we hold up. m.o.p 20:37, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation is here. m.o.p 20:19, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Just for reference...

That wasn't a template, it was a politely worded message. Being polite is a generally nice thing to do, and doesn't need a template, even though some people seem to rely on them! Jeni ^(talk) 22:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Being polite means working politely. This includes collaborating with your fellow editors rather than serving as a bouncer of edits. The links and all caps currently in the article are against the manual of style, which is policy. I have no problem with them being in all caps on the regional destinations section (the target of the redirects), but on the junction list we are not attempting to replicate signage. It's not a huge issue to fix a few links instead of reverting the article to a policy-breaking state. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 22:42, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Floydian. You have new messages at Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways/Assessment/A-Class Review/Ontario Highway 401.

Haven't seen you on IRC for a couple days, so I thought I would ping you here. –Fredddie™ 05:23, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Canada's Wonderland

Hello, just thought it was best to let you know that I may not be able to add the info you stated to the Canada's Wonderland article for a few days (maybe even over a week). I'm kinda busy outside of Wikipedia right now so I won't have much chances to add the info. If you really want to get the info added soon, you can always ask one of the other editors that edit the article (see history tab on article). Sorry.--Dom497 (talk) 21:40, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

No problemo. I was in no rush, I just wanted to provide the information and source that I had come across while doing research for highway articles. Cheers, ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 22:40, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

WP:RFPP

Hello Floydian. Regarding your recent edit, "don't archive incomplete requests..", the archiving script does *not* remove incomplete reports. Unless it sees a response containing the string 'RFPP' (i.e. an admin answer) under the report it stays there forever. If it does see 'RFPP' then it removes the request from the board if more than 12 hours have passed since the last time it was edited. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 21:46, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

It was less than 24 hours... Maybe 90 minutes since the admin replied and three hours since I had initially posted it. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 23:59, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

The above diff does not show your request being dropped. Look again. It is still there, in both versions of the page. EdJohnston (talk) 03:26, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Not strictly related, but starting a new thread seems silly; was File:Downtown Waterloo.png the only file in question, or were there others as well? I notice that Good Olfactory hasn't been active for a few days, so if it's just the one image I'm thinking we might as well unprotect so that you can upload a local copy, and deal with any disagreements that may arise at a later date. – Luna Santin (talk) 20:06, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

It is just the lone image. To be honest I don't even really want a local copy of the file itself. I just want to add a category to the image that is strictly on enwiki, as it is a category that is being used with the Ontario Roads wikiproject. Unfortunately that doesn't seem possible without having the file on en.wiki as well. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 20:26, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Understood. I've unprotected the page at this time. – Luna Santin (talk) 22:54, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

File:An Earthbound Misfit I.jpg listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect File:An Earthbound Misfit I.jpg. Since you had some involvement with the File:An Earthbound Misfit I.jpg redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).

ONint

I moved ONint out of my userspace today. I also added the rowspans you wanted to the core, so you should review it. I did not pass through any of the new spans to ONint; I don't know what you want/need. –Fredddie™ 01:42, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

UPDATE OK, core update today. I added |primary_topic= and set it so that the only entry that will work is no. That being said, it's only really intended for the US, since we almost exclusively use City, State. So, we can now remove some of the workarounds added to ONint that were put in place because of primary topics. Unfortunately, a few links, like those for London, Ontario, now point to the other London... I added |ldab= to ONint to fix that.

The good news is that we can start creating country-specific templates, such as {{DEUint}} or {{GBRint}}. –Fredddie™ 00:20, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Toronto school photos

Hi! I might add some Toronto school photo requests soon.

Do you take photos in suburban municipalities as well?

WhisperToMe (talk) 17:39, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

You may be best asking there as well as on my talk page, because I don't really check the request page very often. I can take pictures throughout most of Toronto, but I rarely head out to Etobicoke or Mississauga/Brampton. Vaughan is iffy, while Markham and Richmond Hill are no problem. I'll be out towards Pickering in the coming days, so if you have a request that-a-ways, fire away now! - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 17:48, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

So far, here are my photo requests within Toronto:

Conseil scolaire Viamonde head office - 116, Cornelius Parkway, Toronto ON, M6L 2K5

Toronto Catholic District School Board head office - 80 Sheppard Avenue East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud head office - 110 Drewry Avenue Toronto (Ontario) M2M 1C8

Have you already gone to Pickering?

WhisperToMe (talk) 05:36, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Not yet... but the frost may mean I'm too late...

Anyways, is the first one the same place as Centre De La Jeunesse Maison Montessori‎ that is listed at that address on Google Maps, or is it a specific area of the building? The other two I will try to get this Tuesday or Wednesday when I can go by well after school has let out (thus not looking like a creeper). - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 05:44, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

For the first - Whatever building the district administration is located in. In Houston I have some examples:

File:Hisd-hmw-008.JPG, File:StaffordMSDAdmin.JPG, File:DonaldsonSonnyAdminBuilding.JPG, or File:FBISDAdmin.jpg

However images of additional facilities at the site (like Centre De La Jeunesse Maison Montessori‎) would be appreciated too :)

For Pickering, I have some ideas:

Durham District School Board HQ: 400 Taunton Rd E Whitby, Ontario L1R 2K6

Durham Catholic District School Board: The Catholic Education Centre: 650 Rossland Road West Oshawa, Ontario, L1J 7C4

Thanks,

WhisperToMe (talk) 06:40, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Alright, going to head out to take these today... Hopefully I don't get looked at as a pedophile or creeper, but by the time school is out and the kids gone, its dark out! - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 18:28, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

FYI, RFU v. DFU

If an item fails WP:NFCC#1, you can tag it with {{subst:rfu}} instead of {{subst:dfu}}. It eases the process on you (you don't have to type the rationale), and the item is deleted more quickly. Cheers. Magog the Ogre (talk) 05:27, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up :) - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 06:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Wilson Lake Road

Sorry for the long delay. I just replied on Talk:Wilson Lake Road. Volcanoguy 12:35, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Occupy Toronto edit summary

Hi Floydian. An edit summary like this is probably not a good idea. It takes away from your credibility as a neutral and serious editor, which I know that you are. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:39, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

UK roads

Could I also be clear that whilst WP:RJL offers no advice on how coordinates should be added to road junction lists - and you know fine well that that is the current state of affairs - you should not use RJL to further your personal dislike of coordinate columns.

To avoid further waste of our time, could I suggest that you desist from trying to own UK roads. By all means keep the US roads in the dark ages; I have no interest in them. Why not tolerate coords in UK roads, and let's see if anyone but you and your posse object? We've had precisely zero complaints or comments on other of the UK roads which have coord columns, suggesting that others who have the roads on their watchlists either approve or are indifferent. They tend to be four or five columns in width, and so there is not a space issue. --Tagishsimon (talk) 18:25, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Again, you seem to be forgetting User:Martinvl. --Rschen7754 18:30, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

She/He has not yet been involved in reverting UK motorway articles, so far as I've noticed. --Tagishsimon (talk) 18:52, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Then what's User talk:Tagishsimon#M5 coordinates? --Rschen7754 18:58, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

• If you feel they are warranted and that you have consensus, get the change made at WP:RJL. Since you haven't gotten any consensus, and the majority of the users at the talk page of that guideline disagree with the notion of adding a separate column, you are going against an unwritten in policy, but clearly visible opposition of numerous editors. Not being able to achieve the consensus at one venue doesn't mean that you move on to trying to launch it on a variety of articles; and I probably wouldn't be far off in assuming that somewhere down the road you will go into phase 2 and start using these articles that you've added the column to as evidence to support the use of them.

Also, claims of WP:OWNership are bogus at best and baseless at worst. I am free to edit road articles in any country. Though I only add content to Ontario, I am interested in maintaining the consistency on a global scale. Stick that in your pipe. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 19:14, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

MD-200 Length

Although you are right in many cases, the milepost on the MD-200 Bridge over US-29 is 16.0, and the signs on MD-200 are posted and have been for some time now, list US-29 as Exits 16A and 16B (can be seen when driving under MD-200 on US-29), and the milepost on the bridge over I-95 is 19.0 and the signs on this section of MD-200 are also posted and have been for some time now, and list I-95 as Exits 19A, 19B, and 19C. Therefore, it appears that this easternmost section of MD-200 has Exit Numbers that are pretty close to (if not at) their corresponding mile posts numbers.

Edit warring at M23 motorway

Hello. I am unprotecting M23 motorway per a request on my talk page so that an editor can continue to make constructive edits to this page. I am writing this to you specifically as you were involved in a recent edit war on that page (which is not related to the request on my talk page), and I'm notifying you that any edit warring whatsoever in the next 2 weeks will be met with a block. Please don't take this as a license to edit war in the future.

Please do not interpret this as me taking anyone's specific side, or as accusing any specific editor either. Magog the Ogre (talk) 18:13, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Improving portal visibility on Wikipedia

• I think the idea of portal links being placed higher-up in articles would be functional toward increasing portal visibility, per your suggestions on the portal discussion page. Additionally, the addition of more categories to the portals, as you stated, is a good idea. I've started a new discussion with a specific focus upon increasing portal visibility on the portal discussion page here: Wikipedia talk: Portal - Ideas to increase portal visibility. — Northamerica1000^(talk) 19:17, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

My second idea was a little more complicated, and was more an idea of combining the portal system with the categorization system so that articles are automatically assigned to one or more portals, and a link to that portal could then automatically get inserted (similar to inline coordinates, perhaps with universal symbols along the same concept as the coloured article classes (an option in user preferences to change "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" to "A X-class article from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia") or the GA/FA symbols that appear at the top right of an article of that quality). - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 19:41, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

LibraryYurt

Hi, I am not affiliated with the Yurt Library. I chose the name only because my first edit involved the Yurt Library, and that was what came to my head. LibraryYurt (talk) 16:32, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Makes sense. I thought this was initially a public computer in that Yurt. Ignore the conflict of interest part of the welcome message then :) - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 16:58, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Sheppard and Woodbine facing west, 1965.png

A tag has been placed on File:Sheppard and Woodbine facing west, 1965.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 15:57, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Woodbine facing south.png

Thanks for uploading File:Woodbine facing south.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Hi Floydian. Congratulations on winning GA status for Ontario Highway 400. I notice that Reference No. 48 is a URL with square brackets but no title so it appears as nothing more than the square brackets. Many of the other references are bare URLs with no brackets and no title. I understand you have a tool for tidying up these references. Dolphin (t) 11:46, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Indeed. I'll go take a look now (but just as an fyi, the reference formatting isn't a GA criteria, I just like to have them done by then... other users may decide to be stubborn for whatever reason). Cheers, ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 15:06, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Well, after two hours of work, one ref away from finishing, Firefox and its lovely tendency to autoupdate cause it to crash. It will be a long time before I make another attempt. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢

Thanks very much for all that. I acknowledge that formatting of references isn't part of the GA criteria but it certainly makes an article look so much more professional if readers can see some details about each source. Very best wishes. Dolphin (t) 04:20, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Road templates TUR-O and TUR-D

Hi! you modified the raod templates TUR-O and TUR-D so that no road sign color is visible. Eventhough you commented your reason I could not understand the difference to template "European route E" which shows still in green. Appreciate your explanaition. Cheers.

I assume that you forgot to reply to me. What about the various road marker templates with different colors? Most of them are referenced in related articles within the text. If I can receive no satisfactory respond, I'm gonna revert your last modifications. CeeGee (talk) 15:35, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

My bad, I completely missed this. The issue here is WP:COLOR and WP:ACCESSIBILITY. By overriding the Wikipedia styling of links, its impossible to tell whether a link is a link, and whether its target is an existing article or redlink. All the other templates that do this need to be fixed as well (I only saw those two). Graphics should be used for the markers (keeping with MOS:FLAGICON)). Hope this helps clear things up. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 17:17, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
