Dashes in Utah State Routes

Good Afternoon,

Utah uses dashes in SR abbreviations. Please do not continue to undo these changes. --Admr Boltz 23:48, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Roller coaster elements

In case you missed it in the edit summary, I removed the information you added regarding Banshee not because it was incorrect, but because there's no reason to single out Banshee among all the roller coasters that feature a Pretzel Knot. If you strongly feel it needs to be in the description, then start a discussion on the article's talk page. Thank you. --GoneIn60 (talk) 04:40, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Banshee is currently the only coaster operating to feature a Pretzel Knot. Even though it is often referred to as a Batwing, the entrance and exit of the inversion are a bit different. I use RCDB for this stuff. Thank you. Tjskovack (talk) 16:03, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is definitely a Pretzel Knot on the Banshee per RCDB.com, which is a site we reference a lot here on Wikipedia as a reliable source. So there's no contest there. I was reverting your edit, because I thought there were other coasters in production that feature the element. However, after looking a bit closer, it appears that you're also right in saying that Banshee is the only one. So if you get to it before me, feel free to add it back in also pointing out that Banshee is the only one that uses the element. If you can find a reference supporting that (other than RCDB.com) then please include that as well, as it will help prevent others from removing it in the future. Thanks. --GoneIn60 (talk) 19:33, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I just noticed you made a comment that helps show the difference between a Pretzel Knot and a Batwing element. I'm going to leave it for now, but we really need to find references for these decriptions, so that others won't challenge them later. If you can help with that as well, I'd greatly appreciate it. See WP:CITE and WP:REFB for help if referencing on Wikipedia is new to you. --GoneIn60 (talk) 19:38, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
