[edit] Rename of List of national monuments of the United States

I left a comment for you on the talk page there. dm (talk) 22:36, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Renaming of various National Monument articles

Hey, i noticed u renamed Marianas Marine National Monument to Mariana Trench Marine National Monument. Can you provide a cite that shows use of your preferred name? I started the article using the name that i found in some announcement, although I am embarrassed to find that announcement is not one of the two references i put into the article. Anyhow, you need to support your rename. Also, similar for your rename of Rose Atoll National Monument(?) Please let me know. doncram (talk) 00:21, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] The hyphen and the move

Hello. Per your user boxes, I like Halloween and love Christmastime, too. Holidays aside, I'm less than thrilled that you moved Dolby noise reduction system to Dolby noise-reduction system with neither prior discussion nor explanation on the talk page. Whether or not it ought to be hyphenated is a good question but sort of beside the point, I fear; in fact, it typically isn't hyphenated. In many years of working in radio and home audio, I'm not sure I ever saw it hyphenated. Here's a link to a PDF document on the Dolby website that may be considered reliable. And here's a search-results page on the Dolby website with further hyphenless instances. (Britannica gets it wrong, too, I see, but we're better than them, right?)

[edit] Undid your move of "Rain and snow mixed" to "Mixed precipitation"

Hi, I undid your move of "rain and snow mixed" to "mixed precipitation". The article's primary intention was to describe what British speakers refer to as "sleet", which is literally a mixture of rain drops and snowflakes. American speakers usually refer to "mixed precipitation" when there is a mixture of rain drops (which may or may not freeze upon impact), ice pellets, and snowflakes. This sort of mix is quite rare in Britain, where ice pellets and freezing rain drops are not nearly as common as they are in the eastern and central United States and Canada.

[edit] Had to revert many many unnecessary radio and TV station page moves.

There is no need to move a station page to a (FM), (AM) or (TV) suffix just for the sake of doing so or to create unnecessary dab pages, some of which have already been deleted once by an administrator and documented on the talk page for discussion (see:Talk:WAEC_(AM)). I have reverted many of these moves, feel free to revert similar unnecessary page moves you have done in the past. Thanks. RobDe68 (talk) 21:29, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Please join the WP:WPRS project and chime in on the subject of disambiguation pages.

I feel I may have gotten off on the wrong foot here. So, since you seem to be a radio fan and contribute to many articles on the subject, I invite you to join the radio project. I especially would like it if you would chime in on this discussion to at least see where I'm coming from regarding some of these page moves and contested disambiguation pages. I'm just trying to keep with the current standard here and since you don't say much in the edit summaries for said moves, would kind of like to see where you're coming from. Thanks.

[edit] Wears Valley, Tennessee

Hello, you moved Wears Valley, Tennessee to Wears Valley with the edit summary "landforms do not get the state name after them". But Wears Valley is a town, or a "census county division" according to the US Census Bureau. The article has demographic info from the Census, like other towns. And it noted that the valley is called Wears Cove, as opposed to Wears Valley, the town. Perhaps the page ought to remain at Wears Valley, Tennessee? Pfly (talk) 03:27, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

This is getting to be repetitive, as I previously moved the article back to the Wears Valley, Tennessee form and explained my reasoning on the talk page. As Pfly notes, this article is about a settlement, not a landform. (I didn't mention that point on the talk page because I did not guess the reason for the page move.) --Orlady (talk) 03:59, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

The latest move (from Wears Valley to Wear Cove) has taken this from bad to worse. The article is about Wears Valley, which is a burgeoning community. It happens to be associated with a geographic feature called Wear Cove, but Wear Cove is decidedly not the subject of the article. Seeing that efforts to communicate have failed, I am moving it back to its original name of Wears Valley, Tennessee. --Orlady (talk) 04:46, 25 February 2009 (UTC) PS - If you want to have an article about Wear Cove, please create it as a separate article. --Orlady (talk) 04:47, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for splitting the article, that works for me! You are quick. Pfly (talk) 05:36, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Christmas light sculpture

I have nominated Christmas light sculpture, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christmas light sculpture. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Lithoderm 06:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Note on ordinal suffixes

Hello, I'm not sure if you've noticed any of my recent edits, so I'd like to let you know that according to the Manual of Style, dates do not have ordinal suffixes and ordinal suffixes are not superscripted. Thanks. —LOL ^T/_C 00:46, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Undid your move of "automated airport weather station" to "automated weather station"

You should stop moving pages randomly. This is the second time you have done this (the first being the mixed precip thing). I've undone it, and now I have to find an old copy of the original automated weather station page to replace the one you wiped out. The subject matter in the automated airport weather station page is VERY SPECIFIC to airport stations. Non-airport stations have much less in the way of sophisticated features. The fact that one of them happens to be at Central Park is an anomaly, NOT the norm, and in fact was (and still is) mentioned on the page. Famartin (talk) 01:59, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

You aren't listening. STOP IT! There is already a page about other non-aviation related automated weather stations, Automatic weather station. Please make use of it to add other kinds of systems. This page is specific for aviation stations, which have a very specific suite of sensors and purposes. Famartin (talk) 06:56, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File source problem with File:Ø-1.png

Thanks for uploading File:Ø-1.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:14, 21 March 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 01:14, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Double redirect fixing

I don't know what you exactly mean, but my bot only fixes redirects whose target is another redirect. Also, there are other bots that are fixing double redirects (see the list: it is empty right now). Muro de Aguas (write me) 16:08, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority

I noticed this edit you made to MARTA's article on the 6th and I was wondering if you have a source for this. I don't doubt the information you added because I live in Atlanta and I was even at the meeting concerning this mess at MARTA headquarters last week so I tagged it with {{fact}} instead of removing it. However, without a reliable source it may be removed by somebody else. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:19, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Explosively formed penetrator

I reverted your move of this article to the version with the hyphen. A hyphen is not needed with adverbs ending in -ly, since there is no cause for confusion as to what it is modifying (it has to be modifying the following adjective/participle and can't be modifying the noun). See here.--BillFlis (talk) 14:44, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Your HD Radio edits.

Hi Radio, I just want to thank you first off for expanding the HD Radio article, and adding more information that will help clarify the transmission method. I also want to warn you ahead of time that your edits might be sabotaged by other editors who feel there is no criticism of the system allowed at all. I would caution you too, to add some sources to your recent edits, although from my perspective, they already are sound. Anyway, this is just a heads up. Keep up the good work, and thanks for editing. Keep a close eye on that article, and I'll do the same. --milonica (talk) 06:45, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Broadcast call sign?

Could you please explain why you moved North American call sign to Broadcast call sign? Information about non-broadcast callsign usage is given throughout the article; and its scope is clearly North America. It's even in the intro: the second sentence of the article mentions AA–AL and N, which are non-broadcasting prefixes. Its context is limited to North America and is not limited to broadcasting, so I don't understand this move at all. --Closeapple (talk) 08:48, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion discussion

If you wish to comment on a file that is up for deletion, then do so at the discussion (Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2009 April 28). Do not continue to remove the discussion altogether. That is rude, against procedure, and simply wrong. Freedom of panorama does not apply to statues in the US, only buildings. I'd respond at the discussion if there were a comment to respond to. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 20:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Undid your move of Montage sequence

Please take any concerns to Talk:Montage sequence. Your move simply doesn't make sense. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 12:31, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I politely asked you take your concerns to the talk page. I did not ask you to continue repeating your concerns in the edit summary. Your rationale appears to be based on a misunderstanding of Wikipedia:Search engine test, which is why I asked you to discuss it on the talk page. Looking at your history of page moves, many of them have been reverted. Since you have refused to discuss this ongoing problem, I am going to take this to the next level per WP:DR. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 02:05, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Callsign vs. brand name

This message is regarding your page move back to 99X (Atlanta). In what special situation should American radio station articles be titled at their brand names as opposed to their callsigns?? Georgia guy (talk) 13:19, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

• I don't like it either, but its temporary until the issue is resolved. As I noted in the description, no consensus (or even a majority on any of the options) was reached. WWWQ is also wrong since that is not its legal parent station, WNNX is. (In addition, HD is never part of the callsign. If used it should be separated with parentheses like other disambiguations, or at least not connected with a hyphen.)  –radiojon (talk) 14:35, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
  • I gotta disagree with you here. Since the station originates from WWWQ and has the callsign WWWQ-HD2, it should be at WWWQ-HD2. I have requested a page move from 99X (Atlanta) to WWWQ-HD2. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 15:29, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] ANI

Hello, Radiojon. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding your repeated page moves made without consensus since 2005. The thread is Radiojon. Thank you. Viriditas (talk) 02:24, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:Ø-1.png missing description details

[edit] WPBA - FCC regs on Comcast??

This is for my own info, (rather than a wiki criticism / comment). Do you have anything to back up your claim that Comcast owes basic subscribers 2 DTA's due to the removal of WPBA from the analog channel lineup? I called comcast, and they denied my request (of course, the CSA didn't really understand what I was saying). Qexter (talk) 19:29, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Page moves

Hi. When you move pages, as you did with Sherman's March (film) to Sherman's March (1986 film), please do make sure to do the necessary tidying up afterwards as well.

I assume you know that your move was only appropriate because there happen to be two films by the same title (a 2007 version was also made). It therefore becomes important to make sure that the correct links go to the correct pages. For example, I have turn your "Sherman's March (film)" redirect into a disambiguation page.
