About your denial of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/anything cool by ilop

I see your point about A1; thank you for your note. Would you also have denied if I had tagged it G1 or G2? It is an abandoned empty AfC. —teb728 t c 22:30, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I would decline it for most other speedy deletion categories. AFC submissions aren't normally deleted unless it's G11, G12, G10, and sometimes G3. I know there has been discussion on this but, alas, I cannot find it. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 22:46, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks again. —teb728 t c 22:59, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Re: Edit Warring

While I appreciate the concern, it's a long standing issue with an anon user that has little interest in discussion or improving the articles he keeps dredging back out, simply reverting each with a "rv vandalism" note. It's been brought up in discussion with the anon, the character project, and the video game project. Putting that many pages on IP protection seems counter-intuitive, on the offchance that someone can revive it and develop it. Thus the prolonged game of "whack-a-mole" each time the anon's IP changes.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 03:31, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Ok. If they continue I would bring it up at the WP:AN3 or WP:ANI boards. Cheers, —GFOLEY FOUR!— 03:33, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

LS&MS Station List revisited

Another question about the station list for the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway; Am I correctin in assuming that stations like 26th Street (NYC station) and 105th Street (NYC station) were in Cleveland as well? And what about Detroit Avenue (NYC station) and West Park (NYC station)? Just how many stations did they have in Cleveland? ----DanTD (talk) 03:41, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I would assume that they were all in Cleveland. I really have no clue on this – my guess would be that they did not serve passengers for long. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 05:54, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
