Re:Writing tips

Hey, thanks for those tips that you gave me on how to write better. I found some good tips. Was there a particular case in which you noticed my writing to be bad? Juliancolton (talk) 21:43, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I will work on my writing. Also, I am sorry if I have caused any inconvinience to you. Juliancolton (talk) 22:02, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I have tried, the things that Seddon69 told me to download just won't download on my computer. Juliancolton (talk) 22:05, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

It says no channel. Juliancolton (talk) 22:18, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I will try again. Juliancolton (talk) 22:22, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Darn thing. It still says no channel. Is there anything else to do to get it to work? Juliancolton (talk) 22:26, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

It does. I can log in, but then when I get to the page, it says no channel. I put in exactly what you said to put in. Juliancolton (talk) 22:28, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I see you, and your message: Hey JC, but I can't talk back. What do I do now? Juliancolton (talk) 19:59, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

i do, but then when I hit enter, it says Not connected to IRC Juliancolton (talk) 20:02, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

It still says not connected to IRC. Oh, well. I guess my computer just dosn't want to run IRC. Juliancolton (talk) 20:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I took your advice, and started working on existing articles. I rewrote the storm history on Hurricane Carmen, and I plan to work on the rest of the article, too. Is my writing any better on the storm history for hurricane Carmen? Juliancolton (talk) 17:47, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of New York State Route 22

The article New York State Route 22 you nominated as a good article has passed , see Talk:New York State Route 22 for eventual comments about the article. Well done! Rt. 14:27, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem, it's a fantastic article. Rt. 14:54, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

The barnstar

Why thank you very much! Always a pleasure to get one.

Re doing other route descriptions: I'd love to, but:

• I'm involved in quite a few projects beside NYSR,

• I have a lot of back pictures to edit, upload and build articles around where necessary, many for those other projects, as well as old pictures to move to Commons;

• I tend to prefer writing where I at least know some of the route and have traveled it in the last few years.

52 and 55 are very local to me (I can lean out of my chair to the window and see this bridge on the former), so I bet they might even be able to go for GA as is. Ditto NY 208 when we get better sourcing and more history.

But I'll certainly try when I can, or when I find myself visiting those routes. Daniel Case (talk) 16:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I saw how you did it with the 22 and 20 articles; and I'll do that for 52, 55 and (now that I think about it), NY 17K (it will also help to move some of those pics into the history section now that the construction depicted has been completed). Daniel Case (talk) 17:28, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Just put some in the 17K article. It also occurs to me that it would help if pictures (like, mainly, the ones I like to take) that illustrate the claims in the text about the landscape surrounding the road use the location template when on Commons in order to help make the claimed location verifiable. I'll be doing that later on.

I don't presently have an IRC client; I have been resistant to the use of IRC by wiki editors because a) I hate computer chatting to begin with and b) more than a few RFCs have grown rather heated because of the use of IRC by one or more editors involved. But I might consider it after your invite. Daniel Case (talk) 17:41, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Hurricane Rick

Actually, in the last few weeks, I've been having computer troubles again. I'm nowadays working on my mother's computer, although most of my data is on the previous one. However, I am still planning on finishing Rick's article as well as the others (seeing as I never kept tabs on Rick's page, so I can find my info easily). However, any help is appreciated.

By the way, I saw a picture of Rick's rainfall pattern on HPC and was wondering if it can be used in the article for impact. Jake52 My island 05:19, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

IRC

Hey, what IRC client do you use? Juliancolton (talk) 19:29, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, thanks! i guess I will have to download chatzilla so I can talk on it. Juliancolton (talk) 19:43, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

First I have to see if my parents will let me. Juliancolton (talk) 20:07, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Saskatchewan roads

Hello there. Thanks for your efforts in the Canadian / Saskatchewan roads. It is good to have a better direction so that the articles read better/last longer/are more informative. I puttered at adding some content to Saskatchewan Highway 913 as it is a road for outfitters, snowmobilers and fishermen in our boreal forest, lake, Canada shield neck of the woods. I will putter at a few others to try to achieve Good Article Status for them, as well. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 22:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

The 900 series in SK will be a challenge as they are all gravel roads in the boreal forest heading off to either lakes or first nation reserves. I wish you well, and will keep poking into both Canada roads wikiproject and Saskatchewan roads wikiproject for more news events.

I puttered on Saskatchewan Highway 58 and Saskatchewan Highway 34 following along your start, do you know what else could be done to upgrade their status? SriMesh | talk 23:41, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Instead of making a whole whole bunch of images for each highway for the infobox template, can a locator map type template be used. I don't have to make a map for each Saskatchewan town, I just use the Saskatchewan locator map template and then voila, there is a labelled map with the correct co-ordinates. There should be a template code for highways also to do the same thingie.SriMesh | talk 00:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Me again.  :-) Another good reason to try to make a code for the highway numbered images is that I peeked at the image you created...Image:Saskatchewan Highway 913.svg... and those three symbolic wheat sheaves are a symbol of Saskatchewan. Our new premier Brad Wall is changing this symbol - so there is news in the newspaper about the cost that the province will entail changing letterhead, and signs all over the province. Already the letterheads just bear the Saskatchewan emblem and not the symbol, as does the Provincial government website Be careful of making too many, till our new Premier finalizes this new decision. SriMesh | talk 00:18, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I thought I would try improvements on a top priority article such as Saskatchewan Highway 1 as well.SriMesh |talk 04:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I also used the route planner on Saskatchewan Highway 33. If you can make improvements to any of these, maybe we can get some nominated at the GAN to help the Canada roads wikiproject along. I am puttering at these while I am off sick with a big cold, I hope I am a bit coherent. Thank you for any notes.SriMesh | talk 21:28, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Daniel (2006)

Since you have User:Mitchazenia/Hurricane Daniel (2006), you'd probably like to know that Hurricanehink has User:Hurricanehink/Sandbox. Both of these sandboxes are incomplete articles about 2006's Hurricane Daniel.

Hurricanehink's has better storm history (currently), and yours has better impact (currently). Since there's no real point in duplicating effort, I would like to, if you don't mind, ask an admin to merge the two sandboxes.

I'm telling you this so you don't end up wondering what happened to one of your userspace futures. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 05:32, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Do you not want the sandboxes merged or do you object to that? Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 17:40, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Strawberry Flower

Hey, I noticed you deleted Strawberry Flower under A7. However, the article clearly asserted notability (several singles and working directly for Nintendo; also, see Ai no Uta (Strawberry Flower song))- this makes it not an A7, and it could be sent to DRV (the article also had an interwiki link). You may want to restore it - it should probably go to AFD, if anywhere. For future reference, make sure to look over articles before deleting them to make sure there's nothing the person who tagged the article overlooked - you can decline speedies and opt for AFD.

Also, when deleting pages, don't forget to delete the talk pages, as well (orphaned talk pages are G8). Deletion can be more complicated than it looks, but you'll get used to it pretty quickly. --Coredesat 03:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

17K and 52 descs

Look good. I will add one in the former article for Newburgh, and I saw also how you created one for Montgomery ... but that one gives you a map of the town, not the village. Anyway, we needed it and I'd already created one showing "Ward Street" so we have a source for the village layout. Daniel Case (talk) 18:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Vote for a post-meetup restaurant

I'm charged with making the reservations for us, so let's make it official. We'll do this via voting and everyone including anonymous voters, sockpuppets, and canvassed supporters is enfranchised. Voting irregularities and election fraud are encouraged as that would be really amusing in this instance. Please vote for whichever restaurant you would like to eat at given the information provided above and your own personal prejudices at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC#Let's make it official. The prevailing restaurant will be called first for the reservation. If a reservation cannot be obtained at the winning restaurant, the runner-up restaurant will be called thus making this entire process pointless. Voting ends 24 hours after this timestamp (because I said so). ScienceApologist (talk) 17:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Develop quality articles. Increase the amount of good and Featured articles about Saskatchewan related content. Develop top importance articles about Saskatchewan such as those about crown corporations. the provincial government and its several departments. From the Saskatchewan wiki meeting held back on 23 June 2007 it was discussed to develop an article on Health in Saskatchewan, and to improve to feature status articles: Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Regina. The University of Saskatchewan became a good article to celebrate the 2007 anniversary of campus, and should now have a peer reveiw to continue on to becoming a feature article.

Some of these are listed [[1]] and have been compiled with AWB. Outreach Create a Saskatchewan Roads and Highways outreach template to help new members become informed about the presence of this project online. Highway Picture Template Just as there is only one image needed for upload for Saskatchewan locator maps, and then various towns can be updated upon this image. So, too there should be a highway picture template, so that the various numbered highways 1, 33, 34, 58, 913, 914, etc can all have their own image without needing to create a bizzilion numbered images online. 2004 Election Our 2004 Saskatchewan election has resulted in an amazing number of politician biographies coming online! This was an awesome achievement, and something to be proud of! Spotlight Department Qyd (talk · contribs) and Arctic.gnome (talk · contribs) are editors of a wide variety of Canadian related articles, and of note as of this date is the enormous amount of work they have undertaken to help amalgamate all the various provincial wikiprojects and Canadian sub projects into one umbrella assessment department. This unique assessment department means that Saskatchewan related articles can be assessed for their own provincial merit, and also belong to the Canadian wikiproject as well. It also means that editors from both Canada wikiproject and Saskatchewan wikiproject can unite in their efforts to provide banners and ratings to articles. This will result in a huge improvement in quality on wikipedia, resulting in Saskatchewan's spotlight award for Qyd (talk · contribs).

The coming year of 2008 should provide not only more Saskatchewan articles, but also more articles with higher ratings with the assistance of more editors, and a new assessment department umbrella. The highways and roads project has given a good base for development, and to strengthen the presence and notability of roads and highways and effort is being called upon to help these articles improve, now that they too are under the assessment umbrella. This is your newsletter and we want you to be part of it as well. Provide us with news tips here on the talk page for current issues and/or on the Newsletter tip line for future beginnings of the next newsletter edition - Volume 2, Issue 1, January 2008.

News Article Wikipedia talk WP SK : For more new updates of new items happening amongst editors of Wiki Project Saskatchewan stay tuned at: Wikipedia talk WP SK Saskatchewan Roads and Highways Saskatchewan Roads and Highways The WikiProject Canada Roads is undergoing an overhaul. It is aiming to produce some Good articles and Featured articles of highway content pertaining to Canada, and for the Saskatchewan Roads and Highways for Saskatchewan highways. As Saskatchewan is still a work in progress this is a challenging endeavour for as the guidelines are followed as laid out at either Highway wikiproject, they become red link farms because wikilinked articles have not been developed regarding the communities, provincial and regional parks and rural municipalities which the highways meander through. Please keep apprised of the progress, and if any Saskatchewan articles rise above stub we will list it on the main page. There is also discussion started about assessment and navigation boxes on the talk page. Please peek in to add any comments you may have. If you want to add your name as a particpant to the Canada Roads wikiproject [here]. To join the Saskatchewan Roads wikiproject sign on the main here please. Recently articles Saskatchewan Highway 1, 33, 34, 58, 913, 914 have been improved, but they need more help so they can become articles nominated as Good articles. Please help out if you are able, even to create community and rural municipality articles for these Highway articles would be an enormous help. To keep updated on proposals, deletion debates, etc. add {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada Roads/News}} or {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada Roads/News|right}} to your userpage to produce the box of notices in the above right.
