Removed AID nominations

edit

You have removed the nominations for Darfur conflict and Ludwig van Beethoven from AID. However, you still need to move them to the page for removed nominations. See Wikipedia:Article_Improvement_Drive#How_an_article_is_removed_from_the_list. -Scottwiki 20:45, 8 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the reminders I will continue to do this in the future Felixboy 13:52, 10 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Additions to coaster infobox require article updating, need help

edit

I've made several large additions to the {{Infobox roller coaster}} template, which will require updating of EVERY article using it. These additions are automatic unit conversion for the statistics and automatic categorization. I have also provided full documentation of every parameter on the template page, which I strongly encourage you to read. Every article will need the following changes:

  • These parameters must be delinked: location, section, manufacturer, and type. They will be automatically linked, and will (except for section) be used for automatic categorization.
  • The type parameter must be Steel or Wood.
  • The secondary type (Inverted, Floorless, Duelling etc.) should be moved to the type2 parameter. If a second secondary type is necessary, it goes in type3. In either case, don't link them, it will be done automatically.
  • height, drop, length, speed, and restriction must have all non-numeric characters removed. height, drop, and length must be expressed in feet (using decimals instead of inches if necessary), speed must be expressed in miles per hour, and restriction must be expressed in inches. All of these parameters will automatically be converted to metric and displayed in both forms.

Also, the rcdb_number parameter should be added to every coaster article that doesn't have it yet.

If the article is about a widely-cloned coaster such as Batman: The Ride where the template covers multiple installations of the same coaster, the redesigned template will not be appropriate. For these articles, simply change the template to "Infobox roller coaster simplified". This is the old version, without all the automation.

I've already updated over 50 articles myself, but I can't do this all day and I'll need your help to get it done quickly. The list of pages using the template can be found here. I'm sending this message to all listed participants of Wikipedia:WikiProject Roller Coasters. Dusso Janladde 07:47, 23 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Brain Teaser AfD

edit

To all WikiProject Roller coasters participants: Brain Teaser, a kiddie coaster at Six Flags Darien Lake is up for deletion via WP:AFD. This isn't my article, but if it's deleted, it sets the prescident for many small coasters to be deleted, such as Mild Thing, which runs counter to the Coaster Wikiproject and also will make a lot of park templates look dumb since they can't include all coasters.

Pinellas Park shop and eat section

edit

[Thanks for your note. This is hard to do without seeming spammy. I just don't see the information as rising to notability or of being maintainable. Then the foundation gets angry letters about favoritism and allowing spam for some but not all. Unless a business meets WP:CORP, best to leave it alone. I don't know of a section like that in a WikiProject Florida city article. You could leave a note on the talk page of the article and on the talk pages of each person that has edited the article seeking consensus. If you don't get consensus, try contacting some other members of WikiProject Florida. (There's a list on the project page.) Check out some featured articles about cities and see what examples exist. Hope that helps. Cheers, User:Mikereichold | User_talk:Mikereichold 15:03, 30 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thailand

edit

Thanks for the barnstar, and for your addition to the participants of the Thai province wikiproject. However that project is nearly finished, now these articles just need some polishing and filling of some holes (e.g. the local histories) which I haven't found in english yet - so now I try to work through the 926 districts, where it is usually even more difficult to find good information beyond the standard touristical ones. I hope all these articles on Thailand have been helpful for preparing that trip to Thailand - don't forget to take photos then, there are still many areas of Thailand which have nearly no photos on Wikipedia:Commons yet. If you need ideas what to photograph - I have many :-) andy 16:46, 30 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, and welcome to the Countries WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of counties.


There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
