Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 02:05, 26 August 2008

If you leave a message for me: I will respond here. Either add this page to your watchlist or ask me to notify you of a response on your talk page. If I leave a message for you: Respond on your talk page. I will add it to my watchlist, so you don't need to notify me. This prevents the same discussion occurring in multiple stages on multiple pages.

A Question

I moved Template:Blacksburg Radio to Template:Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford-Pulaski Radio. No biggie there, but when I went to check for redirects (I always knock those out) it keeps saying the original Template:Blacksburg Radio template is linked to pages it isn't.

All these pages are not really linked there. My question is, if the "What Links Here" page isn't giving me the right information, what exactly should I do? - NeutralHomer 16:52, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Damned if I know why it's doing that. I was going to blame the database servers, but it's noticed the link to this page, so I don't know. I don't think it hurts anything, but it's strange. Acroterion _(talk) 17:46, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

It is, because normally the linked pages "disappear" when the servers update themselves (which is normally pretty quick, if not immediately). I checked all the links and they are not linked to the old template, so...I am as confused as you are :S Thanks for looking into it though. Take Care and Have a Great Weekend...NeutralHomer 17:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Thought I would let you know, I checked the "What Links Here" page for Template:Blacksburg Radio (before writing this) and it is still showing about 15 pages that don't link to that template (down from over 200), so I guess the changes just had to "work through" the system. Weirdness. Take Care....NeutralHomer 19:55, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Jessica Gaude

Why is the unsourced biography of a child in such circumstances unacceptable? The biography is not negative, and therefore there is no rule that allows it to be speedily deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkmage Rector (talk • contribs) 09:27, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

You said it: unsourced. An unsourced biography discussing a child's medical condition is not acceptable, whether it is negative or not. Biographies of living people are held to a high standard, which includes rigorous sourcing requirements, and are subject to speedy deletion if those are not met.

A Favor, Please

Could you delete the talk pages for WCHG, WVLS, and WVMR? I merged those pages into Allegheny Mountain Radio (they are part of that network) and the talk pages are now orphaned. Many thanks...NeutralHomer • Talk 18:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Sure: give me a few minutes as I'm somewhat otherwise engaged. Acroterion _(talk) 18:58, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem. No rush :) Thanks again...NeutralHomer • Talk 19:21, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Done. Acroterion _(talk) 19:36, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Dude, I appericate it :) Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk 21:03, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I have a question. The posting Jushea rose was deleted because I posted it myself...about me and my music. Found out later that I wasn't supposed to do that. The problem is now its still showing up in the google search and actually me being so speedy spelled the page name wrong. It should have been Jushea Rose not Jushea rose. Is there anyway to correct the page name. Is it really delete. If so why is is still showing up in the google search.

All the best SheaRose (talk) 03:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Question About Deletion Jushea rose & Shea Rose

Jushea rose & Shea Rose were deleted for self promotion. I didn't know. As suggested I will have a writer post information about me as a recording artist. I do wonder if the current information coming up from wikipedia during a google search can be deleted. When I press on the link it shows no information posted, but this can't be good for my marketing purposes...clicking onto a link that no longer exists. Plus Jushea rose should be Jushea Rose. Any help would be amazing!

Shea (SheaRose (talk) 03:10, 12 August 2008 (UTC))

FisherQueen has most kindly responded for me on your userpage, and said what I intended, only better. Acroterion _(talk) 15:49, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Kingman Research

Howdy--

Thanks for letting me know about the deletion. The last few days have been a learning experince. The information I have is small, because I have just started doing research on this. I am in the processing in creating a guided tour of Historic Downtown Kingman. I have created a small newspaper with this information in it. I will also pass this out to the owners of the properties on the registery and get their information of the houses and buildings. Hopefully I will add it to this site. Just to let you know I like working hands on. If you see something not right correct or let me know about it so I can fix. Thanks, RobChilcoatr (talk) 00:12, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Glad you want to help out. For ideas on formatting, you might want to look here . Also, at WP:NRHP you'll find sources and Elkman's National Register Infobox generator - since you have the numbers, it'll be easy to make the boxes. Acroterion _(talk) 00:19, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Footnote

Hello, Just a quick "thankyou" for the edits to the national forest articles, especially Tahoe. I would like to have a footnote on that sentence
(Tahoe was originally established as the Lake Tahoe Forest Reserve on April 13, 1899. The name was changed to Tahoe on October 3, 1905)
-if you have one handy. If not, I can root around here among all these books and get one. Again thanks for the help.

Cheers! Marcia Marcia Wright (talk) 16:38, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

I do indeed have a ref, the mother of all lists of things National Forest, which got me started on this little forestry binge. <ref>{{citation|title={{PDFlink||341 KB}}|date=September 29, 2005|author=Davis, Richard C.|publisher=The Forest History Society}}</ref> . I had no idea there were 200 or so former National Forest properties, some quite obscure. Acroterion _(talk) 16:44, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

For the sake of thoroughness, I'd still like to have a really solid, concise ref sourcing the General Land Office, which established and administered the Forest Reserves in the Department of the Interior until 1906. That article is entirely unreferenced. Such a ref would support the terminology for all of the Forest Reserve articles. Thanks for paying attention - it's nice to see that somebody cares about the forest articles, which have been neglected compared with National Parks. Acroterion _(talk) 16:53, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

General Land Office

It is a good article-I'm very surprised no one has added anything-not even an External Links section!!

Thankyou for adding your source to TNF-isn't that a great website???All pages are sourced at the bottom even. I do believe there is hope for this world yet ;)

And yes we can spruce up General Land Office -all our library books are concerning this subject of US forests/reserves/wilderness areas/primitive areas/history/legislation thereof-so my kitchen table has ...uh...disappeared. Looking forward to working with you on this. Oh, BTW do you know of a Wikipedian who is expert in Geology? We need an ID for some rocks in Caribou Wilderness that I have a photo of (but will not post to the article until I can correctly name the type.) I was thinking of Mav but unsure still. Any suggestions?

Cheers, Marcia Marcia Wright (talk) 20:29, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

I ran across a geologist back in July, but I'm damned if I can remember. I'll drop a note on your talkpage if I can ever recollect. There are a few people listed at WP:GEOLOGY too. Acroterion _(talk) 22:01, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh I hope he was unhurt...;)

Hope u dont mind my eaves-dropping. Dhaluza, in writing and bringing Marcellus Formation to GA status recently, was confident enough with his geology to identify some photos of rocks taken in Marcellus, New York, by a non-geologist, in order to include them in the article. doncram (talk) 23:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Eavesdropping is fine by me, Dhaluza sounds like the person for the job. Acroterion _(talk) 02:56, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I have added 2 refs to GLO, one is the actual text of the actual law from the Library of Congress website. If that is not "solid" enough, I don't know what is. Permission to remove the tags from the top of article? And I will check out WP Geology -Thanks Marcia Wright (talk) 22:15, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Har.

You don't need any permission from me - I think those refs are fine, so remove away. Acroterion _(talk) 23:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Insomnia

Hi there. I think you accidentally created a redirect on Insomnia to itself while you were deleting Insomina. I fixed it already, so just FYI. justinfr (talk) 19:17, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Argh. You're right, thanks for catching it and fixing it. Acroterion _(talk) 19:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Blocking

Hi, I noticed some vandalism on a page I was watching by an IP you have blocked in the past and they already have a warning from a couple of days ago. I'm not clear on the Misplaced Pages blocking policy, but I believe they're supposed to be blocked now. Copana2002 (talk) 21:18, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on the articles - I've given them a final warning. They've been inserting negative information on Indian actresses in violation of BLP policy. Acroterion _(talk) 21:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

User talk:David Tombe

Just a notice, I upped your block of this user to indef for block evasion. See the bottom of his talk page for more info. Mr.Z-man 00:24, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I've blocked George Smyth XI (talk · contribs), who I'd been watching for activity. I'd been thinking of asking for a checkuser on TCW: now it would probably be wise to do a sock sweep. Acroterion _(talk) 00:48, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I asked Thatcher to do a quick check after User:86.141.250.177 posted to my talk page to confirm the block evasion, the 2 users I blocked and listed (and the IP) were the only ones he found (George Smyth XI was probably stale). Mr.Z-man 02:00, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

That's what I thought - finding D Tombe without a checkuser and no edits would have been pretty impressive. I was afraid the early socks were stale, so we'll just have to watch out. Thanks for the check. Acroterion _(talk) 02:05, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
