Ken Klein's wikipedia entry

Hi Bruce,

I'm new to this whole wikipedia thing. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make the page more accurate. I tried to make it like the King County Council's Wikipedia entries.

Best, Leonardhale (talk) 07:44, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

@Leonardhale: Unfortunately, Ken Klein does not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for politicians. As far as I can see, he has not garnered enough attention (which the King County members have plenty of, as does the Seattle City Council, due to the nature of their work) and thus warrants deletion.

List of Tamagotchi Chracters

A tag has been placed on List of Tamagotchi Chracters, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page.

Integrating Swift with Lynnwood Link Extension

Bruce: I've been trying unsuccessfully to add the Swift bus to Template:Lynnwood Link Extension. It seems like I should be able to change one line, adding the bus icon like this:

{{BS|uexBHF|O1=lhSTReg|O12=lhSTRaf|{{rint|bus}}|{{stnd|NE 185th Street|Link}} }}

But the graphics get messed up - the rail line becomes slightly offset and disconnected. Do you know why? – Brianhe (talk) 06:55, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

@Brianhe: It looks fine on my end, so it may be your browser. I've gone ahead and added it in (with a link within the icon). SounderBruce 20:59, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

How odd. It looks OK with Internet Explorer but not with Chrome on two different devices. It would be cool if we had some more Seattle-specific icons to add to the current icon list. - Brianhe (talk) 22:24, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

@Brianhe: Eventually, we'll be able to add Red Line and Blue Line icons for Link. Not sure if there's any others that can replace the Sound Transit icon, other than specific things like Swift (definitely not PD). SounderBruce 00:01, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Thoughts?

Editing the list of KCM routes... what are your thoughts on including the roads the bus travels on in "via" section?
Here's an example:

Route	Type	Off-Peak	Sat	Sun	Start	Via	End	Continues as	Links
31	Conventional	Yes	Yes	No	Central Magnolia	22nd Ave W, East Magnolia, Interbay, W Nickerson St, Seattle Pacific University, Fremont, N 30th St, Wallingford, N 40th St, University District, University of Washington campus, NE 45th St, University Village	Children's Hospital	75	Schedule Map

-OR-

Route	Type	Off-Peak	Sat	Sun	Start	Via	End	Continues as	Links
31	Conventional	Yes	Yes	No	Central Magnolia	East Magnolia, Interbay, Seattle Pacific University, Fremont, Wallingford, University District, University of Washington campus, University Village	Children's Hospital	75	Schedule Map

Including all the roads seems like overkill... but I can make an argument for the utility. What's your thoughts? --RickyCourtney (talk) 22:40, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

@RickyCourtney: I'm pretty split. I'd rather include neighborhoods first, but some major roads/corridors are neighborhoods themselves (Rainier Avenue on the 7, for instance). A toned-down version of the first example would be my pick, but I trust your desecration in managing the list. SounderBruce 23:16, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages

Hello, SounderBruce. When you moved Evergreen Point Floating Bridge to a new title and then changed the old title into a disambiguation page, you may not have been aware of WP:FIXDABLINKS, which says:

When creating disambiguation pages, fix all resulting mis-directed links.

Before moving an article to a qualified name (in order to create a disambiguation page at the base name, to move an existing disambiguation page to that name, or to redirect that name to a disambiguation page), click on What links here to find all of the incoming links. Repair all of those incoming links to use the new article name.

It would be a great help if you would check the other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "Evergreen Point Floating Bridge" and fix them to take readers to the correct article. Thanks. R'n'B (call me Russ) 12:05, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Biketown

Bruce, thx for referring me to the tutorial. I'll try & review it later. As one of the yellow bike instigators, and as a "Founding Member" of Biketown I have direct experience with the issues. Is any headline or statement printed in a newspaper assumed to be factual. The Oregonian article's description of the ybp as "disastrous" & a "failure" is not credible or qualified. In contrast, Alta did fail to meet obligations & I believe Alta declared bankruptcy. Yet no reference is made to the significant public investment lost in Alta's failed attempt.

Obviously, i have a personal association with both ybp & Biketown. Please let me know how you are affiliated with bikesharing. I would appreciate knowing what interest you have in the subject.

@Stephenmgunther: I have no association whatsoever with the city of Portland or any bike share company. I simply write at leisure about transportation for the entire region. As for the content and words used to describe the Yellow Bike, it must be taken from a reliable source and The Oregonian is found to be one. If you can find a credible reference telling of how much Alta's attempt cost the city, please feel free to add it to the article. Having a personal association with the article subject is in direct violation of the site's conflict of interest policy, which I recommend you read thoroughly. SounderBruce 05:11, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Bruce, I don't have the time to engage in wikisquabbling. The edits I made are factual. The original references reflect a corporate or cultural bias.

Spokane Transit Authority Plaza

Hello SounderBruce - thanks for looking at Spokane Transit's Plaza page. I noticed the page has been moved to The Plaza (Spokane). I appreciate the edit, however I think the page should be moved back to the official building name of "Spokane Transit Authority Plaza." "The Plaza" is a nickname that it is colloquially and casually referred to (similar to how everyone refers to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as "Sea-Tac", but its Wikipedia page still uses its official name). Yes, STA does sometimes refer to it casually as "The Plaza", however it is not official.

In official documents, Spokane Transit Authority will refer to it by its full name, "STA Plaza" and "Spokane Transit Authority Plaza":

• https://www.spokanetransit.com/files/projects-plans/CCL-Alignment-Options-111215.pdf
• https://www.spokanetransit.com/files/projects-plans/CCL-Route-Map-111313.pdf
• https://www.spokanetransit.com/files/projects-plans/Plaza_Reconfiguration_FINAL.pdf

Spokane media also refers to it by its full name, "Spokane Transit Authority Plaza"

• http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2016/mar/28/renovation-of-sta-plaza-to-start-in-april/
• http://www.spokanejournal.com/local-news/sta-plaza-review-must-stay-focused/

Thanks!

Very well, I may have been hasty in moving the page. But I do believe we should use common names especially when the official name is as clunky as that. "STA Plaza" would probably work better. SounderBruce 05:29, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, the full name is a mouthful to say, but I wonder if it might be better to have the full name for sorting purposes in category lists (such as Category:Transit centers in the United States), as it would have the word "Spokane" in it. The Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel might be a good article for precedent where it's page name is the official name, but throughout the article it is then referred to as simply the "bus tunnel" or "DSTT." In this article, maybe the only place it says its full name "Spokane Transit Authority Plaza" is in the title and the lead-in...everywhere else it could be "STA Plaza" or "The Plaza." We could even set up a redirect for STA Plaza to go to Spokane Transit Authority Plaza similar to how Seattle bus tunnel redirects to Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel or Sea-Tac redirects to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Jdubman (talk)

The difference is that the full name for the DSTT is widely used, even more so than the Plaza. As for categories, a simple sort key or piped category would fix it, regardless of title name. SounderBruce 17:38, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Let's move it to STA Plaza, per your suggestion Jdubman (talk) 02:49, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Wildfire

Hello! I have recently started a new WikiProject and am trying to recruit new members. The project, WikiProject Wildfire, focuses on articles that relate to wildfires. There is a lot of work that needs to be done. From updating templates, to classifying and improving articles. Any level of commitment is welcome! If you care to just add some input on the founding of the new project, awesome. If you would like to take an active role in editing articles, that is awesome as well! Knowledge of wildfires is NOT a prerequisite for joining the project. In fact, it would be great to have some members of the project who are NOT fire-buffs. That way we make sure that articles aren't just written by and for people in the fire community. If this is something you have any interest in, I would love to have you join the project! Please feel free to join the discussion or leave me a message on my talk page. (Note that you are receiving this message from me because I saw you made multiple edits on a wildfire related page, specifically List of Washington wildfires. Not just spamming you at random.) Hope you have a great day! Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 22:02, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

ST renamed?

Roosevelt station (Sound Transit)#History says that the RTA was renamed to Sound Transit, but this doesn't seem consistent with Sound Transit, in which ST is essentially the brand name and the official name is still Central Puget Sound RTA. - Brianhe (talk) 11:35, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

@Brianhe: Officially, it is still the Central Puget Sound RTA, but since 1997 they've used "Sound Transit" as their popular name while the RTA is the corporate name. It's similar to how Community Transit is officially the Snohomish County Public Transportation Benefit Area Corporation, and was known by that name (or the acronym SCPTBA) until adopting their branded name in 1979. I'll amend the article to reflect that it wasn't a total renaming. SounderBruce 23:21, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Your reversion of my edit to "Jet Kiss"

Greetings and felicitations. I noticed that you reverted my edit to Jet Kiss for the reason WP:OVERLINK. However, per that,

Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, a link may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, hatnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead.

(Second instance of emphasis added.) That's why I linked to The Seattle Times multiple times. Included in that edit were also corrections of capitalization in an article title (per MOS:CT) and the addition of a clear template to keep the portal template from intruding into the "References" section. Would you please be so kind as to consider undoing your reversion?

@DocWatson42: The extra links to The Times were unnecessary. The exception for footnote links would only apply on much longer articles with much longer reference lists.

As for the other part of your edit, it is recommended to keep one style within citations and the majority of other references are in sentence case already; furthermore, The Times uses sentence case in their headlines online and in print. SounderBruce 20:40, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Oops

Sorry I seem to be stepping on your toes on the UW reactor article. I'll wait until tomorrow. Great article by the way! - Brianhe (talk) 06:57, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

@Brianhe: It's fine, I didn't notice until I had accidentally reverted your edits. Feel free to add more corrections, since I'm definitely not an expert in the field of nuclear reactors. SounderBruce 07:01, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Spring District photo safari

I might go on a photo safari to deepest, darkest Bel-Red in the next few days to check out the future Spring District. Is there anything you would particularly like shot while I'm out there? - Brianhe (talk) 06:11, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

@Brianhe: Other than the usual crane-and-construction shots, I think a few photos of the current, industrial environment would be nice to have. Especially the Amazon Fresh facility (where the bulk of the development will go) and the future Sound Transit railyard site (see here; currently the Audi dealership, a spur rail line and a warehouse). SounderBruce 07:35, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Okay, I'll see if I can find them. Did you notice that Bing and Google Maps already have Spring Blvd? I don't think the actual street signs have been changed yet. - Brianhe (talk) 07:54, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

@Brianhe: There are a few street signs up, including at NE 124th according to a photo I took in March. SounderBruce 07:58, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Neighborhood title convention

Whatdo you think of Juanita, Washington? Should it be Juanita, Kirkland Washington per convention used at Ballard, Seattle & other Neighborhoods in Seattle ? - Brianhe (talk) 19:00, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Spanish and Houston light rail stations

SounderBruce,

Do you know if there are any Wikipedians on the transit projects who know some Spanish? It may be good to have Spanish-language articles established for each Houston METRORail station (Both English and Spanish are used on signs and on announcements) WhisperToMe (talk) 02:34, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: While I don't know of any in the transit project that specifically have Spanish knowledge, you might want to reach out to the authors of other system's Spanish articles. Vrysxy created the Seattle ones, which are quite simple and could be easily copied for the Houston ones without a deep knowledge of Spanish. I could lend a hand when I have free time (very occupied right now with tons of projects in all different states of completion). SounderBruce 03:46, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Cool! I'll see when I have time to do some (maybe over a weekend!) WhisperToMe (talk) 04:09, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
