Thanks for creating this article! I heard a radio ad for this casino and meant to look it up. I was glad to see your addition to WPUS. Keep up the great work! --- Another Believer ( Talk) 14:35, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
Unrelated question: I see you work on skyscrapers and other buildings in Seattle. Is there a specific source you recommend for determining which buildings/skyscrapers qualify for Wikipedia articles? I'm wondering if there's an easy way for me to identify Portland buildings missing Wikipedia articles. If nothing comes to mind, no worries, just thought I'd ask. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 14:42, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon Despite its wide reach, content on Wikipedia suffers from the bias of its editors: white, technically inclined, English-speaking men that live in developed, majority-Christian countries. This represents an alarming absence of voices in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. In an effort to change this, the Jake is organizing a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Saturday, May 6th, 1 - 5 pm. Our mission is to bring together diverse communities to participate in Wikipedia editing, and improve its coverage of queer people and women of color in the arts. We will provide childcare, snacks, and tutorials for the beginner editor. Bring your laptop, power-cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. No previous Wikipedia experience required! RSVP at and stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates.

Thank you, SounderBruce, for your feedback. I have read the COI page and it leaves me with questions. That is for another day, but would you do us the kindest favor and make sure our name is "Arlington Fly-In" on our page? Our organization and website reflects this. We appreciate you adding "Arlington Airshow" to the article as that is what most of the public search for.

Thanks so much for your ongoing and impressive work on a variety of articles, but especially transit-related ones such as the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel and its stations.

Sir,
Please do not accuse other editors of sockpuppetry simply because you are upset that your (intentional?) distribution of misinformation has been corrected.
I am not one who edits often. When I do, it's usually just a typo or two. In this case, it was two statistics that were explicitly contradicted by their own cited source.
Wikipedia does not require a login for occasional edits, and neither can you. IP addresses sometimes change. Whatever.
Don't throw threats and accusations around because you refuse to admit you made an error. Don't be part of Wikipedia's growing fiefdoms-trump-accuracy problem. 2601:182:CE00:C:B94B:239E:9537:50C1 ( talk) 00:51, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Congratulations on bringing Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel to good article status! It is a very important Seattle subject, in my opinion, and bringing it up to GA-class was no small feat, requiring extensive research as well as writing and organization (and inline-citation placing, etc.). Prior to your multiple major expansions – most notably in January of this year, August 2015, and September 2014 – I had long felt this subject had received far less coverage on Wikipedia than it merited. And of course your similar work to expand the articles on individual DSTT stations has resulted in two of them (so far) being approved for DYK (with University Street station being on the Main Page at this moment) and also reaching, or close to reaching, GA-class themselves. I'd give you a barnstar if I had not already done so two weeks ago! SJ Morg ( talk) 08:49, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
My bot has been updating the historical population tables with new Census Bureau estimates (hopefully this year I'll get to updating the Infoboxes/geoboxes too) for every incorporated place (more than 10000 places)
(and every county) in the United States (minus a few it's had parsing/finding errors with) since the 2014 estimates came out, and the only complaint I have gotten is with a single page where the page's self-appointed caretaker got annoyed that the formatting got messed up (I switched to a new formatting with a standard template and finally worked it out with them). I haven't managed to do all the minor civil divisions yet, but I hope to do them one day too.
So unless you can point to a Wikipedia-wide consensus against doing this, I will be undoing your revert as this is (and should, absent consensus against) continue to be something that appears on the page of every incorporated place.

The 50 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal | ||
It's my pleasure to bestow on you this award for your more than 50 contributions to the "Did you know?" section. Your DYK entries have covered a variety of subjects and have variously originated from articles you created, ones you expanded, and ones you brought up to Good article class – an impressive breadth of contribution to the encyclopedia. Thanks for helping make Wikipedia great! SJ Morg ( talk) 08:43, 16 June 2017 (UTC) |
Thanks for this. I defer to you on this, since you are a current resident of the Seattle area. It's been more than 30 years since I lived in Seattle (and I only lived there during school years, while attending the U.W.). In my defense, I'll just note that the Wikipedia article on First Hill – I'm ignoring the guideline against citing WP as a source, since this is just a discussion between editors! – currently says, "The City of Seattle provides conflicting information about its eastern limit, beyond which are Cherry Hill and the Central District. Some describe it as being bounded by Broadway and Boren Avenues, while others describe it as being bounded by 12th Avenue." (and cites sources for both). My personal sense was that First Hill was not generally considered as extending east of Broadway – but that's the impression of someone who hasn't lived there in many years (and was never a year-round Seattleite). So, again, I defer to you and other Seattle area residents on this. SJ Morg ( talk) 09:28, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of international goals scored by Landon Donovan is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of international goals scored by Landon Donovan until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Rævhuld ( talk) 19:35, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Hey! I don't want to canvass, but I know you're interested in soccer. Curious if you have any thoughts on the deletion of Draft:Bust of Cristiano Ronaldo (which was moved back into the draft space). I started a deletion review discussion, which can be seen here: Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2017 June 22. Seems some football editors don't like the article, but I'm not entirely sure people are assessing notability from perspective of this being a work of art, which has received a lot of criticism in a wide variety of reliable publications. Some editors from the AfD discussion have reiterated their concerns, but if you have any interest, I'm looking for uninvolved editors to take a look at the draft, its sourcing, and then weigh in on the deletion review discussion.

Asking about this edit...the reference is in the very first citation as an "Alternative name" as the "Pahlavi Foundation Building". Seems pretty straightforward. GreaseballNYC ( talk) 03:10, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
The third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine.
Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

The fact was ... that rioters burned the first permanent provincial seat of Canada? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/St. Anne's Market. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, St. Anne's Market), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Dear SounderBruce, I found you at the Skyscrapers project page. I am writing of the Evolution Tower article. An anonymous (IP-address) user added eight(!!) cleanup templates to it with his only edit on en.Wikpedia. I am not as used to the en.Wikipedia procedures, but I feel that eight templates is clearly too much. Can you please check that and reduce them, or maybe even remove them all? Thanks. -- Okino ( talk) 21:44, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
The article Flag of Washington you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Flag of Washington for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.
