Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of gaps in Interstate Highways may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

If you are interested, there is already a community of users who are roadfans or who edit articles about roads, just like you! Stop by any of these WikiProjects—WP:HWY (worldwide), WP:AURD (Australia), WP:CRWP (Canada), WP:INR (India), WP:UKRD (United Kingdom), or WP:USRD (United States)—and contribute. If your interest is in roads in the United States, there is an excellent new user's guide. There is a wealth of information and resources for creating a great article. If you have questions about any of these WikiProjects, you can ask on each project's talk page, or you can ask me!

Again, welcome! Imzadi 1979 → 06:54, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Welcome again. Just something you should know, but article talk pages are for discussing improvements to the article, not general discussion about the topic. Also, M-231 isn't going to be a freeway, at least not for many years. It's being built as a two-lane highway with a single bridge over the Grand River only.

Page moves

You really shouldn't have moved those pages around.

1. WP:TWODABS, there is no need to create Emergency detour route as a disambiguation page. The hatnotes from before handled the situation just fine.
2. The capitalization differences between "Emergency Detour Route" and "Emergency detour route" can handle any disambiguation between a specific proper noun (the title of a specific kind of roadway in Ontario) and a common noun that you're using as an alternate for "permanently signed detour route". Because of that, we don't need to tack "(Ontario)" on to the proper noun/capitalized title.
3. Page title changes of this sort are going to be controversial, so you should have opened a WP:RM or a general discussion about the titles beforehand.

While we encourage people to be bold, sometimes you should pause to consider if an action may be controversial, and if so, you should open a discussion first. Imzadi 1979 → 02:37, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Emergency Detour Route

A tag has been placed on Emergency Detour Route requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
• disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

MfD nomination of Draft:M-54 and M-83 (Michigan highway)

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:M-54 and M-83 (Michigan highway) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Draft:M-54 and M-83 (Michigan highway) during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion.

Reference Errors on 18 February

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Crockery Township, Michigan page, your edit caused a broken reference name (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:22, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Your user page...

You might want to edit that. It isn't "Michigan's highway 231", it will be "M-231". The "M-" prefix is an integral part of the highway number, and it has been since at least 1919. Imzadi 1979 → 04:35, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Audio program

Hello Highway 231,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Audio program for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Dudel250 (talk) 01:37, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Downtown Canada for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Downtown Canada is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Downtown Canada until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:28, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation page OOIOO

Hello. I see that you've changed the page into a disambiguation page, but creating a disambiguation entry for 'The 5-bit code for the middle finger' looks unnecessary, especially when a google search on the topic doesn't provide any notable results. Please create disambiguation pages only when the entries are adequately notable. The OOIOO (band) should be moved back to the topic, so I'm going to request the move, if there are no disagreements. If you have any questions or comments, you can leave a message on my talk page. Thanks. KJ ^{«Click Here»} 01:53, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Your bold move of OOIOO has been reverted because an editor has found it to be controversial. Per Wikipedia:Requested moves, a move request must be placed on the article's talk page, and the request be open for discussion for seven days, "if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested". If you believe that this move is appropriate, please initiate such a discussion. Please note that moving a page with a longstanding title and/or a large number of incoming links is more likely to be considered controversial, and may be contested. Cheers! bd2412 T 14:48, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Pirateville should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pirateville .
