Speedy deletion nomination of Intrastate

Hello Howpper,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Intrastate for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

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. Blurred Lines 18:24, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Intrastate listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Intrastate. Since you had some involvement with the Intrastate redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Imzadi 1979 → 07:01, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of List of tallest buildings in Wenatchee

The article List of tallest buildings in Wenatchee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

As per WP:OUTCOMES cities of this size don't merit stand alone tallest buildings lists

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

December 2016

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give U.S. Route 85 Business (Williston, North Dakota) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Imzadi 1979 → 15:40, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:U.S. Route 85 Business (Williston, North Dakota), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

Disambiguation pages

Hello, Howpper. When you moved Portland metropolitan area 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 "Portland metropolitan area" and fix them to take readers to the correct article. Thanks. R'n'B (call me Russ) 11:08, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, never mind. If you had looked at Talk:Portland metropolitan area, you would have seen that this same move was proposed in 2013, and the consensus was against the proposal. The Oregon metropolitan area was deemed the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. If you disagree with that result the correct course of action is to start a new discussion, not to ignore the past consensus. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 11:12, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Meters. I noticed that you made a change to an article, List of fastest production cars by acceleration, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Not only does that car not appear to meet the inclusion criteria (production car for public street use, not modified or tuned, etc) but the 11.00 claim is not sourced.

May 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Moses Lake, Washington, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:00, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Seattle metropolitan area, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of List of tallest buildings in the Tri-Cities

The article List of tallest buildings in the Tri-Cities has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Per WP:NOTDIR. The entries would not be notable enough for their own articles, and the list itself is little more than a WP:SYNTH of database lists. There's no secondary coverage, especially locally, and it's rarely discussed at all.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

An article you recently created, Greenacres Middle School, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

Speedy deletion nomination of Hellgate Canyon

A tag has been placed on Hellgate Canyon 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 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 "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 deleted without delay.

U.S. Route 85B (Williams County, North Dakota)

I gave a reason when I moved it back, which is the naming convention at WP:USSH. That convention specifies that special and suffixed routes get their locations in their names, even if otherwise unique. USSH came about after the end of a VERY contentious page move war over a decade ago, and the convention was the result of an ArbCom case. In short, changing USSH or going against it is the third rail of USRD, and yes, we use disambiguation terms even when titles would be unique without them (which is why the article is at "M-185 (Michigan highway)" instead of just "M-185").

May 2018

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Foo Fighters. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 05:47, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at RiceGum, you may be blocked from editing. As I said in the edit summary, combining 100 and Bubbling Under peaks violates WP:SYNTH. Read WP:USCHARTS; it states this already. Songs don't re-enter the Bubbling Under chart if they fall out of the Hot 100, therefore number one on the Bubbling Under chart is not necessarily 101, so it's misleading to claim it is. This is why the guideline exists. Ss112 05:58, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Caribou hunting in Greenland

I see you moved, without any form of discussion, the article I created eleven years ago. Never before has anyone seriously questioned the title. Discussion before such a controversial move ~~would have been~~ IS the right thing to do. The only question about terminology, and clarification, offered is found in the archives here. Read the last sentence.

You may not realize this, but in Greenland the deer are only referred to as "rensdyr" (reindeer). English and scientific literature tries to translate from Danish, but since there are two words in English, they often get confused and don't consistently use the "right" words in the "right" places, pretty much like English speakers also do. It really depends on whether it's a North American or someone from somewhere else who does the writing. Therefore you're placing far too much weight on a dubious distinction in words. I suspect it's possible to find articles and scientific literature which could be used to bolster each view. I chose the term used in Greenland, since it's about Greenland, and nowhere else. We shouldn't use North American terms and distinctions, unless referring to North American conditions and animals in North America.

Only in North America is there some sense of consistent usage of the two words. Otherwise, everything east of Canada (from Greenland, to Norway, Finland, Russia, and Siberia) are ALL reindeer. All of the ones we hunted in SW Greenland (there are almost no others in the country) were reindeer (there isn't much difference genetically). Nearly all the naturally occurring deer died out and the ones brought from Norway have interbred with the few remaining. Just sayin'...

I've shot 16, and there could be slight differences between animals shot one mile apart. Most of the ones I shot had wet snouts, just like cows.

To top it off, according to the Danes, Santa's Reindeer (not caribou) come from Greenland, and I shot Rudolph in 1990, as the third out of four deer that day. All sightings since then are of imposters. (I know, I know, you don't have to say it.... Santa actually lives at the North Pole (out on the ocean ice), so he must get his reindeer from Greenland, the nearest source of the animals. He also uses his office in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, where he answers all those letters from children. The mailbox there is huge. )

Anyway, something to think about. We don't just move articles here without discussion. -- BullRangifer (talk) PingMe 05:14, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

King of the Dead (disambiguation)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give King of the Dead a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into King of the Dead (disambiguation). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. —Ketil Trout (^<><!) 07:23, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Genre warring at New York Dolls articles

Your revision to the album articles was inappropriate; McNair in The Independent does not refer to either album as "glam punk", only to the band's music at the time of their inception in 1971; a necessary distinction to make when articles are vulnerable to opinion-based genre changes ("more accurate genre"). At New York Dolls, you simply ref-bombed the infobox to give the impression a point-of-view you favor outweighs any opposing views. The Guardian blurb you cited does not even mention "glam punk". I've added a quote from McNair to #Musical style, so it verifies "glam punk", which was already in the infobox. This should suffice. Moreover, there is substantial discussion among sources in the musical style section disputing the view the band were either glam or punk. Dan56 (talk) 18:13, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If in doubt, use Citation needed tag rather than reverting

You reverted the edit I had made stating Kongos (band) are South African American. Since most edits improve articles, and are made in good faith, people find it inflammatory to have their edits reverted. Therefore, you should be quite sure that something is wrong before reverting it. In this instance, where you doubted something, but apparently didn't know for sure, I would suggest using the Wikipedia:Citation_needed needed tag. Here's some more guidance on editing: Wikipedia:Editing_policy#Adding_information_to_Wikipedia

In the meantime, I have added a source that mentions the Kongos brothers were raised in SA but now live in Phoenix, AZ. Paulgush (talk) 01:48, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized).

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest

November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Possible attack of cyber bullying on Joe Exotic wiki page

Hi. I am an inactive user on Wikipedia, but with the recent success of Tiger King on Netflix, I was looking at the wiki for Joe Exotic, and I was shocked to see my name posted as one of Joe Exotic's children (Brandon Chappell). I can assure you that I have NO relation to Joe Exotic, but I can tell you that I have been bullied in the past by some not so pleasant people. Upon looking at the edit history, the edit made by User.Rovingrobert, added my name in the infobox as one of his children. As far as I know, Joe Exotic NEVER had any children, and given Rovingrobert's history of bullying on this wiki, he would have his administrator privileges revoked IMMEDIATELY! This hass really hit me hard, and I am utterly embarrassed by this. Could you please remove my name from the infobox and place a lock on the page? Thanks!

Climate data

Your talk page is filled with warnings but not so much appreciation of all the hard work youve done. I just wanted to thank you for coming back day after to day to work on such a thankless task. Specifically regarding climate editing, I'm glad that you've been using the Desert Research Institute instead of corrupt sources like Weatherbase. I wish everyone did that.

Even so, I did also come to let you know that I took away some of the climate table you wrote, because a three-year period of record is much too short to derive meaningful data from the temperature extremes. Let me know if you have any questions.

Picture request

Hey Howpper! Just want to start off by saying thanks for your great contributions to the website in writing content and adding media. I especially like how you have snapped a lot of pictures to be used to illustrate the articles, the Spokane area related ones in particular. They really bring the articles to life and make you feel like you’re there.

I wanted to message you today to request another photo though, a new picture of the Sacred Heart campus from the same vantage point that you shot File:Sacred Heart Hospital.jpg since the scene has changed a lot since the time you took that photo in 2017. A psychiatric hospital, INBH was constructed at 5th and Browne in 2018 (which has no photo in the Commons yet) and a Hampton Inn primarily to serve people visiting the hospital was put in on McClellan further up above it on the lower South Hill (you can see the cranes in place to build it in that 2017 photo). I like the vantage point you used, shooting up Browne and with the elevated highway in the foreground. You can see most of the campus and it interesting how the hospital seems to gobble up Browne Street with that tunnel. I was considering retaking the photo myself but I couldn’t figure out where you took it lol. If you don’t have the time or aren’t interested, I could take it if you share the location.

Thank you! 2001:5B0:4FD3:F0B8:4DBF:E61E:73E9:7FA7 (talk) 15:27, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Long overdue, but according to the EXIF data in that file, the photo was taken from this location (Google Maps). This appears to be eastbound I-90 at exit 281. I suspect Howpper was the passenger in a vehicle and shot the photo through their window. Alternatively, I suppose you could attempt to stop in the gore point between the interstate and the exit ramp to take a photo. Google Earth shows that you might be able to get a similar angle from the rooftop of the DoubleTree down by the Spokane River, but you'd need a fairly strong zoom to pull it off (a 70-200mm might work). A shot from street level would probably be heavily obscured by the freeway (if shot from the north side of I-90) or possibly too low (if shot from the south side of I-90). A drone shot might be possible, but because of airspace restrictions you need to be part 107 certified (commercial UAS operations) and it requires advance coordination to take off. If I can get certified by summer I might attempt to take a better shot. —Locke Cole • t • c 06:57, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
