Gorillaz cleanup

I changed it back to the more general cleanup tag, as apart from copyediting (which you put in first) it also needs references and to avoid weasel words, as I explained on the article's talk page. The tag you put in second was also inappropriate, as wikifing is putting in wikimarkup (e.g. using square bracets for links, double/triple apostrophies for italics/bold, etc.) which is already done. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 22:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok, fair enough. Although as the template suggests, it should be more specific. --I Am Ri¢h! 22:58, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but to be more specific one would have to add two or three different tags instead of the one general one, and I thnk that would look kinda messy. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 23:17, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh, now I understand. --I Am Ri¢h! 23:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Baseball on Wikicities

Hi I.M. Rich, Googie Man here - I wanted to ask you something as a fellow baseball fan and Misplaced Pages. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Misplaced Pages, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done such great work on Misplaced Pages I was hoping you could help me get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think either at my talk page, or you can email me at terry@wikia.com. Thanks! Googie Man, 19:51, 4 January 2006.

Participant alert regarding Wikiproject on Advertising

The Wikiproject No Ads, created as a backlash against the Answers.com deal, has served an important function in providing a space for users to express their disagreement with the Foundation proposal. While the current controversies about userboxes raise questions about political and social advocacy on Misplaced Pages, there should be greater flexibility regarding advocacy about Misplaced Pages in the Misplaced Pages namespace. Reported and linked by Slashdot and other press sources as a unique and spontaneous occurence in Misplaced Pages history, it has apparently had some impact as, despite being scheduled to begin in January, not a peep has been heard about the trial and proposed sponsored link since the deal's controversial announcement months ago. Currently, however, there is an attempt to delete the project or move it off Misplaced Pages altogether. Since the Foundation has provided no additional information and has not attempted to answer the specific questions that participants in the project raised, it is unclear if the Answers.com deal has been abandoned or simply delayed. Until the situation becomes more clear, I believe the group should still have a place in the Misplaced Pages namespace. Sincerely, Tfine80 00:21, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

June Meetup in New York

Hi, I noticed you are characterized as a New Yorker so perhaps you might be in the NYC area in June. If you are interested we are having a meetup for Wikipedians in June in NYC. Take a peek at this and please tell any other Wikipedians that you think might be interested in participating about this event. Thanks. Alex756 02:25, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello

NYCT Bus Route Infomation

I noticed that you reverted my edit to Fresh Pond Bus Depot. So, I'm guessing that you're sticking pretty strictly to what's given, say, on the back of the bus maps and such? No one could argue against the fact that the Q58 runs on Grand Avenue for a very significant distance, and I've never understood why only Fresh Pond Road and Corona Avenue are given as major roads for that route. There would be no reason not to include it, unless—I presume—you're sticking exclusively to official documentation? —Larry V (talk) 01:01, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree and I am using official guidelines. The reason why I'm strict by this is because I don't want the pages I worked hard on making becoming unfactual and messy, but if you want to you can make street edits, as long as it's not a street that's obviously not a major part of the route.
