Hi Vegaswikian! In this edit summary, you asked why I changed the categorization on Frank A. Tracy Generating Station. Wikipedia:Categorization#Articles states "An article should never be left with a non-existent ( redlinked) category on it. Either the category should be created, or else the link should be removed or changed to a category that does exist." I did the latter, and then you created the category. I presumed that the category didn't exist because it was a narrow categorization. However, based on your username, I'll presume you know more about Nevada than I do, and can add more articles to this category. Happy editing! GoingBatty ( talk) 18:59, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

I changed a couple of the ones you did to articles on my watchlist (mostly downtown historic districts like this and this) from public space to urban open space, which I have tried to use in more recent editing as it gets at the concept I meant better. Just thought I'd let you know so as to better inform your editing if you continue in that vein. Daniel Case ( talk) 23:36, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
No problem on my end. Basically, all urban open space is public space, but not the other way around. Perhaps I should put an appropriate picture in urban open space that would help ... it's not like we don't have anything that would fit. Daniel Case ( talk) 18:38, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
Ok, thought I would bring the discussion to your talkpage. I can understand your point about the year of establishment. However, I really do think it belongs to Category:Universities in England, Category:Education in Oxford, Category:Organisations based in Oxford
Universities in England contains each university category already, so should include the Oxford Brookes University category. Are you proposing we change this for all of these catgories? If so then I think you need to take the discussion to a wider audience. Aloneinthewild ( talk) 20:01, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Vegaswikian. The category:Vessels of BP was speedy moved to category:Ships of BP Shipping. While I see the logic, it created a problems with this category. The main issue is that this category included not only Ships of BP Shipping but also vessels chartered by BP (and not necessarily by BP Shipping). The most infamous example is probably Deepwater Horizon which was owned by Transocean's subsidiary Triton Asset Leasing, operated by Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling, and was chartered by BP Exploration & Production. There is no connection with BP Shipping; however, right now it it categorized in this category. There are other examples. AS a more experienced editor of categories, maybe you could suggest what wWhat could be the best way to deal with this? Beagel ( talk) 19:02, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
While I appreciate the edit on Dylan Kwasniewski as it alerted me to an error in his actual birthplace (now fixed), the changing of his "sportspeople from" category is borderline WP:SYNTH. All sources on Kwasniewski list his hometown as Las Vegas; not any of the other Las Vegas Valley communities. Therefore Category:Sportspeople from Las Vegas, Nevada is the correct categorisation here; changing it to "Las Vegas Valley" fails WP:V. Please be more careful and check sources first in the future before making edits like this (and for birthplaces where Las Vegas, NV is the correct and sourced birthplace vs. "Valley"). - The Bushranger One ping only 00:15, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
Just because you were the deciding admin at the Squamish RM, way back in 2011, please see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_February_19#Squamish. Given this item, which someone came out with from MOS "If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor.", I'm of a mind to launch another RM to move the Squamish people article back to where it started, despite the diacriticals ( Sḵwx̱wú7mesh), and the let the category be speedied as a result. it would help if the adoption/romanization of this ethnonym was in more common use like other related terms are (St'at'imc, Sto:lo etc) but that's not the case yet. Problem is the arbitrary inputs by people not fully familiar with local geography or language usages or about the people or the place in question wind up causing nomenclature problems, and IMO quite frankly there was "taint" in the RM, and the bit about since how OMR isn't around anymore we don't have to care what he wants should have been ruled out of order. The editor who did this latest gaffe - and it is a gaffe - and I have a "history" and given the washing-of-hands tone of her response to my points I can't see any of this as innocuous, though I[ll be accused or anti-AGF for saying so.... WP:DUCK applies. For now I've depopulated the category she created and put it up for CfD but this points up the whole problem with Wikipedia procedure, time consuming and difficult to put up with; that anyone can come along and overturn decisions like this, irrespective of what informed editors have to say, is nonsense and there should be an easier mechanism to deal with such misconduct and rolling back its consequences; I just spent an hour rolling back her category changes to empty out the new, wrong category. I'll consider proposing another RM for the main ethno article, also, and that bit about the wishes of the original creator should also be applied to Carrier people to move it back to Dakelh (so far Category:Dakelh has not been speedied to Category:Carrier or Category:Carrier people - both article and category were created by the pre-eminent scholar in Dakelh studies, User:Billposer, who like OldManRivers has given up dealing with Wikipedia's vagaries and half-informed decision processes. All of these names should be locked down so that someone doesn't do all this over again, like Kwami did re article names and Usyvidi is now doing with categories she knows and cares nothing about..... none of the people playing these games, or taking part in the RMs and CfDs caused, actually work on the content of these articles, and that is the most irritating aspect of this, never mind the endless sisyphean struggle, going over the same ground again and again and again.

As you are an admin i expect forum shopping to be backed up with evidence. Ive not pointed to that discussion at all, ive written asking for comment not giving my strong opinion, which is backed up by a guideline. Also i respect the nominator a better admin than yourself who has said to create more cats so actually your assertion of WP:OC#AWARD was not the deletion rationale. Seriously back up or shut up.

Forum shopping states:
I didn't i invited whole community. ;Ssilvers however in his documented post invited only members of his project who all hold a similar pov.
again i didn't lead at all Ssilvers laid out in his message to wikiproject theatre members his rationale for deletion, not that of the nominators. This was non neutral
again i laid out neutral he didn't.
I fully expect you to warn Ssilvers about forumshopping but i except you won't. And i want per these points you to back up the forumshopping comment against me. as an admin you need to. Blethering Scot 22:29, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Vegaswikian! I have a question about reflist templates. If there are more than a few references or if the citations are lengthy, I think it's best to put them in two columns, and I use {{Reflist|2}}. You recently changed the template in a page I watchlist from Reflist|2 to {{Reflist|33em}} . This made it go back to a one-column listing. I have seen other people do similar things, with various em sizes; sometimes the result is to keep it as two columns and sometimes it reverts to one. What is the rationale for preferring the em-size template rather than the 2-column template? Thanks. -- MelanieN ( talk) 17:29, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi Vegaswikian. You may have noticed that User:Falcadore reverted the change you made to the category in 2014 Malaysian Grand Prix. I imagine his rationale for doing so was that, as a general rule, we don't maintain "YYYY in Malaysian motorsport" categories (because they would each contain only one article - the corresponding "YYYY Malaysian Grand Prix" article). Given that, are you happy for Category:2014 in Malaysian motorsport to be deleted? (I thought I would ask you, rather than just tagging it for deletion). DH85868993 ( talk) 06:26, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Hey! Thanks for being involved in the discussion at WP:AIRPORTS. I noticed something odd, an IP with only 1 prior edit commented on the thread regarding the listing of Regional Carriers, disagreeing with our change. I have a pretty good feeling it's the same person as 'CLCadiz' (the brand new editor that wrote a very long comment regarding the change). I'm not sure how an IP with no other edits would even know that discussion existed, in addition if you look at the signature of the IP and 'CLCadiz' you will notice they both have two oddly placed parentheses around the signature -- look: (CLCadiz (talk) 00:22, 12 April 2014 (UTC)), then the IP's: (27.122.12.74 (talk) 23:13, 12 April 2014 (UTC)).

While buildings may be be built and not established, hospitals are institutions, not buildings. In fact, assuming you've been to one, most contain multiple buildings that make up the hospital. Thus establishment categories are quite proper for when they are established. Thus, removing said establishment category is not in-line with our categorization scheme. I will be undoing all of those this evening, unless you want to take this to RFC. But given you have left some in establishment categories, I hope this was just an oversight.

Vegaswikian, this is Jim856796 with a comment.
I don't get this, the use of the term "sister" when referring to properties of the same class. The word "sister" is associated with women, females and feminism (as well as female siblings), so sometimes, when referring to a company or property of the same entity, the term “sister” may not be appropriate. Not every company or property can be a female.
In these sentences: “On April 17, 1997, ground was broken on a sister property, the Paris Las Vegas.” and “The Paris is linked via a promenade to its sister property, Bally’s Las Vegas, through which it is linked to the Las Vegas Monorail.” The Bally’s Hotel opened in 1973 (as the first MGM Grand), and the Paris Hotel opened in 1999. Because of this, what would you think if the term “sister property” was changed to “daughter property” in the first sentence and “mother property” in the second sentence? I tried to change “sister property” to something else (like “adjacent property” or “sibling property”), but you (and another user, Toohool) reverted it.
Also, in this: “Like its sister property, ACH Casino Resort, it took on its initials as its new name.” I thought about changing it to “cousin property” since the (now-former and closed) ACH is in another city.
Why does no one use the term “brother” when referring to properties of the same class?
Can we please find an alternative term referring to a company/property of the same entity, especially a gender-neutral one? Jim856796 ( talk) 08:03, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
"Using sister to refer to related properties is common usage. Why does it have to be gender neutral? This is common English. I suppose you will want to change the Mother Road to something else also. There is no need to change what is correct because of PC or something related."
I already explained why in the original comment (The fact that not every property/entity is a "female"). If we want a gender-neutral alternative to the term "sister" just because said term is considered "feminine", then just use the term "sibling (property/entity)" instead.

Hi Vegaswikian, I have reveiwed the policy on external links and made changes to the social credit article based upon that policy. Please review and see if these sites are now appropriate and whether the tag can be removed.

Hey, you've left this edit summary on a number of edits, and it's simply not true. Category:Buildings and structures under construction in the United States is NOT a subcategory of Category:Proposed railway stations in the United States; you are doing a disservice by removing the latter. Please include both categories where appropriate, unless you'd like to create Category:Railway stations under construction in the United States (which is probably worth having in any case). Thanks, Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 18:43, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
It is "accommodations" rather than "accommodation" which is bad English as per your edit summary here: [3]. However you are correct that "Interior design" is a more suitable sub-heading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.90.196.21 ( talk) 04:33, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
Multiple notable New Mexico based restaurants are being put up for deletion. They are Garduño's ( deletion page), Little Anita's ( deletion page), and El Modelo ( deletion page). Each of which is notable in their its right. You should check them out and decide for yourself, so far only a single user and IP are calling for their deletion.

Hi Vegaswikian! You expanded SpaceX CRS-7 back in March saying that it would be "the seventh overall flight for the company's two-stage Falcon 9 v1.1 launch vehicle", but by my counting, the seventh v1.1 is scheduled to launch AsiaSat 6 later this month. CRS-7 would appear to be the eighteenth v1.1 on this list but I doubt that the manifest is sufficiently concrete to include this prediction. -- ToE 18:17, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Can you point me to the consensus on which you're basing the mass removal of dams from "Dam controversies" category? Apparently without even cursorily glancing at either the article content or the secondary literature? You have been removing articles in which multiple scholarly sources describe the dams as "controversies" or "controversial", and articles where most of the content is about "controversies", explicitly. bridies ( talk) 11:39, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Have the airport lounges and frequent flier program been combined? I thought the airline's frequent flier program is Dividend Miles and the lounge is US Airways Club. Is there an announcement?

Hi. It seems that you indef. move-protected Operation Polo page almost 3 years ago. Perhaps it is time to remove the protection. In any case, there was a requested move, which endorsed a new title, but it seems I cannot move it. Could you either remove the protection, or move it? Kingsindian ( talk) 23:57, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi! Sorry about the back and forth. My point is that the pic reflects the content of the article (the line about the sign clearly states it is not in the city proper), and the pictures position is right next to that reference. The underlying citation clearly indicates that this is the sign they are speaking of. I know you folks who spend a lot more time on this page than I do have done an incredibly good job focusing this article on the city proper... I have no problem deleting the pic, but then you should delete the info regarding the sign. If that info is in the article, than a pic referring to that shouldn't be excluded.

Does US Airways still have a CEO? Someone changed that Doug Parker is CEO of US Airways (but the provided source no longer states that Robert Isom is CEO of US Airways). But since Doug is CEO of AA Group (which includes US Airways) and AA, shouldn't Parker still be CEO of the airline? Thanks! 71.12.206.168 ( talk) 01:37, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
I have found another source stating that Isom is CEO of US Airways ( http://www.frequentbusinesstraveler.com/2013/06/american-airlines-and-us-airways-announces-post-merger-management-team/) until the 2 carriers combine. The AA source does not mention this. 71.12.206.168 ( talk) 01:54, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
I notice you sometimes add {{
convert}} to articles—thanks! However, when that is done, there is no need to remove commas from big numbers. It might be better to leave them so the number in the wikitext is more readable for an editor. For example,
Jocassee Dam had "811,000,000
KWh
" and that should be {{convert|811,000,000|kWh|abbr=on}}
with commas (on the assumption that the link is not needed—I agree that it is not). Have a look at
my edit to see if you like the "e6kWh". If not, please change it as wanted. Happy editing!

I've noticed you adding the {{ anchor}} template to articles such as this . Not exactly sure what you are trying to do. Per the template's documentation, the template goes in between the equal signs, not outside at the end. Also, you don't add a parameter to the anchor template, which causes the template to do nothing. Bgwhite ( talk) 05:25, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

I hope you understand, I fail to see how a category doesnt actually sit in another category - so I reverted [4] - some time later, but really to remove the cats to make a category not linked to any category seemed to be a mistake. Your argument might have been going somewhere if you had reinserted a new category - but to leave it blank doesnt make sense... cheers satusuro 09:45, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of casinos in Alaska 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 casinos in Alaska 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. Beeblebrox ( talk) 23:45, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

In response to the "huh" under the reason for removing my move request for KAQY to KMLU...KMLU is the new call sign for KAQY television. KMLU currently exists only as a redirect page for Monroe Regional airport, so I cannot voluntarily move KAQY to KMLU without asking for assistance. I thought I did what I was supposed to in adding it to the list of requested moves but I suppose it wasn't an acceptable request? There is one suggestion on the KAQY page to move it to KMLU (TV)...however, that would not be necessary if the page could simply be moved to KMLU.

Hi Vegaswikian, nice to meet you--I've see you around but I don't think we've ever interacted. I'm very aware that my close is out of process, but I'm thinking of WP:FATRAT here. The deletion nomination is going to drive away potential GLAM contributors even though the categories will, in all likelihood, be populated over the next several days. I will delete them myself if they do not. Best, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 22:07, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
It looks like two categories that were to be deleted in CFD are still out there, maybe do a glitch with the tool? They are both location at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 December 13.

Hello,
The instructions as regards contesting this deletion were – if I recall correctly – to click a button and leave a message (on the category's talkpage?). Did you see this message or perhaps a sign somewhere that the deletion had been contested..? The category page also sported a notice explaining its existence – was that seen..?

Hi there! I just wanted to take a moment to explain why I'm reverting you on Deluxe Marketing. The problem is that we have sources saying they're based in Las Vegas, including their "Contact Us" page. I suspect that you are correct that they are located Wincester, NV (which appears to be a suburb of Las Vegas), but that their mailing address just uses the big city for convenience. I know it's sometimes maddening when reality does not match up with sources, but Wikipedia reflects sources, not truth. Personally took me months to get past that fact. Anyway, best wishes. 16:22, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
