Quick question for you ... you edited the article at Wild Eagle to remove the italics from the coaster name, and your edit summary said something to the effect that roller coaster names weren't normally italicized. When did that change? If you can link me to a discussion thread, I'd appreciate it. I'm not making any changes/edits to add them back until I see what happened and where consensus fell. Thanks. -- McDoob AU 93 18:33, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Two things:
1. Did you forget to nominate Bizarro (Six Flags Great Adventure) for GA-status. I see that you re-wrote the whole thing (making it GA-ready) but you never nominated it. I don't want to nominate it because I did nothing to the article other then add a ref right now.
2. Just to keep my self busy, I created Operation B&M. If you wanna help out, your free to do so. :)

The FLC was getting close to the two-month mark, by which time we really need to see some evidence of community support to keep a candidate up. There was only one support and continuing source-related questions. Under the circumstances, I felt that a consensus to promote the list wasn't going to be reached at this FLC, and that's why I closed it. Hopefully this makes sense. Unlike FAC, we have no required waiting time before a renomination, although I'd suggest that you clear up the most recent source queries before nomming it again. So when you clear up the remaining issues, feel free to bring the list back for another try. Giants2008 ( Talk) 02:50, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

I wonder how I am supposed to earn the Coaster Barnstar becuase I have been improving and editing numerous roller coaster articles such as: Superman: Ultimate Flight , Manta (SeaWorld Orlando), Big Dipper (Geauga Lake), and Volcano, The Blast Coaster so how do I earn the Coaster Barnstar since I improved these 4 articles?

Is there any roller coaster articles I should improve? -- Starship9000 ( talk) 21:40, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
In regard to your comment to us about the Big Dipper at Geauga Lake - That was a first edit made to Wikipedia by my middle school age son, who is a roller coaster enthusiast. His and our knowledge of the Wikipedia collaboration process is definitely at a novice level. At any rate we discussed this and the necessity of finding multiple sources. My son's assertion was that the Big Dipper was demolished (rather than standing but not operating) but we subsequently found that the news stories supporting his assertion were all in the future tense and even found a TV news story that the Big Dipper had been saved from demolition. However we also see from that article that it is to be dismantled and put into storage. So on a surface inspection by my adult eye I see conflicting reports which would lead me to need either firsthand knowledge or a full chronology of the news stories to set them straight. Lacking the motivation to do this myself, I'm sure my son will research it and enter the Wikipedia collaboration process with a keener eye to verifying and researching sources as well as documenting edits to articles written by others.
We do appreciate your patience and your article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.98.242.201 ( talk) 14:36, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

I do not see any issues and I am more happy to work on it and try to help promote it. Any ways that I can help with it. Is there any issues? Should I add the Awards that it won if it already won it? I really want to help promote that article to B-class then good status so is there any ways? -- Starship9000 ( talk) 00:38, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
Regarding the train section, I'm beginning to question the statement that claims the trains used to recline outside of the station and move back to an upright position prior to re-entering. The first source cited seems to say that they were designed to recline inside the station. The second source, which is a review of the ride, mentions that they have the ability to recline on the lift hill, but doesn't say anything about returning to an upright position prior to re-entering the station. Do you know of any other sources that confirm this? -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 16:56, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I think it's because you've included a symbol in the "1st" cells which causes it to sort out of numerical order. My suggestion is to not have the text bold, nor the cell shaded blue nor have the symbol because you already have that blue and symbol in the league cell, that should be enough to denote the fact they won the league.

I re-worded the Indians TV section, as because Fox now owns STO and the Indians rights, they will be producing the games, and WKYC will merely be simulcasting.
When STO was it's own entity owned by the Tribe, they had a deal with Ch. 3 where 3 would provide the production facilities, technical know-how, cameramen and whatnot. And in return, STO threw 20 games a year WKYC's way.
Now that Fox owns STO, Fox is handling all of that themselves, and WKYC is merely simulcasting 4 games.
This is like the deal FS Ohio has for Cavs games on WUAB 43, where 43 is merely piggybacking off FSO's coverage in simulcasting 5 games a year.

not sure how to edit on here or about the incident post regarding cedar point's shoot the rapids... there were 8 passengers ( not loading row 3...) the boat got to the top of the first( the bigger) lift hill there were then two clicks ( said from a passenger) when there is usually only one and then the boat started to go backwards, I at this point was an eye witness watching the boat go back down the lift hill, very fast... it hit the concrete bend I'm the flume which cracked and shattered and from there the boat flipped upside down. there were screams of terror and in a heart beat there were so many of us ( adult guests) jumping over two fences, running across the railroad tracks and jumping into the water to try to flip the boat back over... we were so worried somebody was going to drown. we got everybody out of the boat. there were 5 adults and the children ( all under 10) one of the adults had disabilities and the another one had a head injury and was brought to the hospital. besides being very shaken everybody will be able to be with their families tonight.

Hey, I've always gone by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ELMAYBE#Links_to_be_considered when cleaning up and updating external links. Since a review is someone's opinion, I don't see it as being encyclopedic to refer readers to the site, as it will have a bias slant. Whereas it can be used within the article to support claims for or against the popularity or critical acclaim of a ride. FirstDrop87 ( talk) 00:56, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello -
I am working with the East Grand Rapids MI Public Library as they embark on a GLAM project. I'm a mid-newbie, which is why I'm reaching out....
East Grand Rapids was the home to Ramona Park and to the Jack Rabbit Derby Racer [6]. As a kick-off project they would like to expand Ramona Park during an edit-a-thon. The Library is home to a local history room - a room filled to the ceiling with memorabilia, photos and artifacts from Ramona Park.
The plan is to upload much of this material via Commons (hopefully before the edit-a-thon on October 19, 2013 - coincidentally during Wikipedia Loves Libraries month).
One problem - there are few locally evident Wikipedia editors to actually show up at the library for an edit-a-thon.
Do you think if we set up a Google hangout, you might be interested enough to remote in? There is a possibility of a cool tee-shirt [7] donated by the library for some, too!
I might be able to provide you/this project with a preview of the historical materials - it seems to me there might be more than one article to create.
Also I've come up with a DYK candidate: Did you know that President Gerald Ford worked at Ramona Park, home to one of three derby racers in the US? (The Ford part is true, not quite sure of the derby racer stat, though!)

Recently, User:Oriole85 ( contribs) has been sporadically popping up on my watchlist for category-related changes. A lot of new users do that, so it wasn't a particularly noteworthy thing for me. But then he kept showing up with a higher frequency, oftentimes making (what I thought to be) completely unnecessary over-categorizations to articles. I've been on Wikipedia long enough to know that User:Levineps ( contribs) is one of the most notorious over-categorizers we've ever seen (and has the community sanctions, block records, and bans to show for it). So, I did about two minutes' worth of research and discovered that Oriole85's account was created / his edits began on November 5, 2013. When was the last edit by Levineps? November 4, 2013. That is not a coincidence IMO. I don't have (a) the time right now, nor (b) the motivation to formally open an SPI, but I'm hoping that one of the many people I'm notifying about this does. If you're wondering why you're being pinged about this, it's because I saw where you were one of the people who has left messages on Levineps' talk page at some point regarding his inappropriate editing. So now, in addition to all of the aforementioned issues with Levineps, it looks like a probably sockpuppet to throw into the mix. Jrcla2 ( talk) 05:29, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Recently, an issue has been brought up regarding the notability of many articles within WikiProject Amusement Parks. As a result, a page has been created regarding this issue as well as a possible solution (which will be on-going). In a nut-shell, certain articles will be picked to be reviewed in each stage and the WikiProject members (you) will decide if the article should be deleted or kept based on Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
I hoping this will work and if it doesn't, oh well...I tried.

This is a note to let the main editors of Millennium Force know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on May 13, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask Bencherlite ( talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 13, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Millennium Force is a steel roller coaster at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, United States. Completed in 2000, it has broken and helped to break ten world records. It was also the first Giga Coaster (any complete circuit roller coaster that exceeds 300 feet (91 m) in height) in the world. It was briefly the tallest and fastest complete circuit roller coaster in the world, before being surpassed by Steel Dragon 2000 in August 2000. The ride is also the second-longest roller coaster in North America after The Beast at Kings Island, and was the first roller coaster to use a cable lift system, rather than a traditional chain lift. The coaster has a 310 ft (94 m), 45 degree inclined lift hill with a 300 ft (91 m) drop, and features two tunnels, three overbanked turns, and four hills. It has a top speed of about 93 mph (150 km/h). Since 2001, Millennium Force has been voted the number one steel roller coaster in the world eight times in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards, and has never been ranked lower than number two. Although it is no longer the tallest or fastest roller coaster at Cedar Point, it is still one of the tallest and fastest in the world. ( Full article...)
You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. Thank you. UcuchaBot ( talk) 23:01, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

I held off reverting that IP's edit, because there are articles out there that state Cedar Point is marketing Pipe Scream as their 17th roller coaster. It's even listed that way on their site. I understand RCDB doesn't register it as such, but it's probably going to be a topic of debate at some point. What are your thoughts? -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 20:46, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Further, there are more than 20 proposals related to Watchlists in general that you may be interested in reviewing. (and over 260 proposals in all, across many aspects of wikis)
Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Hi Astros4477,
I'm Kevin, one of the founding members of the Ohio Wikimedians User Group. Created in July 2016, we're working to be a central group of Ohio Wikimedians who organize and support offline events, promote the Wikimedia movement in Ohio, build connections throughout our state, and above all, support each other. We already have a handful of members and have worked to support multiple events, including Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States and several Art+Feminism edit-a-thons at universities throughout Ohio.
I wanted to reach out to you and invite you to join the Ohio Wikimedians User Group. Being a part of the user group will allow easy communication between active Ohio editors, notifications of upcoming events in the Ohio area, and, if you're interested, the opportunity to help organize events such as edit-a-thons or workshops. Some notes:
Right now we have a Wikipedia Takes Columbus photo event going on, a Wiknic coming up this summer, and opportunities to attend the upcoming Ohio Private Academic Libraries Conference. If you're interested in joining us, feel free to add your name here - and feel free to reach out to me (or post on the user group's talk page) with questions or discussions. Thanks! ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 07:29, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
The Disneyland Railroad article is currently being nominated to become a featured article here: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Disneyland Railroad/archive1. It has passed specialized reviews for its prose, images, and sources, but it still needs a few people to chime and say they support the nomination on the review page to wrap things up. Your input on that page will be very helpful. Jackdude101 ( Talk) 20:07, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Astros4477. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " New Carowinds roller coaster".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. DannyS712 ( talk) 20:03, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

The file File:SouthPark Mall Strongsville logo.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unused logo with no article used, it's also can't move to commons because of an unused logo will be deleted as of out of project scope.
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 files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

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 |
