Selected picture

Hi there, just to let you know that an image you uploaded has been chosen as a selected picture over at the Amusement Parks Portal! If you have any similar images that you feel would also be appropriate then feel free to suggest it on the nomination page. Many thanks, Seaserpent⁸⁵ 19:49, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Photo Galleries

Hey, I've noticed you have added a lot of images the past couple of days to roller coaster pages. I feel that the pages with the "Galleries" are a bit much to have within the article and should be moved to the bottom in its own section. Otherwise images within an article should go along with the text being discussed. You may also want to look into creating pages on Wikimedia Commons and linking to that page. Here is some of the research I found: Photo Galleries Again, I have no problem with the galleries themselves besides the placement (it can become a bit much), but I feel other editors who are not familiar with roller coasters may come in and delete them.

Sources of roller coaster data

I'd normally ask the head of the roller coaster wikiproject this, but he's on a long wikibreak. I've seen you around quite a bit, so maybe you'll have some insight on my question.

Currently, we use RCDB as a reliable source for roller coaster data. But what if a coaster's data on RCDB doesn't match up with its data on the park's official website? I've seen this happen in several cases. Which should be used as a more reliable source?

Perhaps the park that owns the coaster would know best -- then again, their website might be more concerned with marketing and "round numbers" than accuracy.

I know RCDB is concerned with accuracy, but there are probably still mistakes if they've acquired numbers second-hand: their site says, "The rcdb's data was compiled from a plethora of sources: Usenet, Internet, amusement parks, roller coaster manufacturers and enthusiasts."

Is there a consensus on this? Please reply on my talk page. I've posed the same question to a few other active editors of coaster articles, so I can get several people's input and not just one.

Thanks!

Vekoma

Kyle Bundy, can I ask you why Vekoma is your least favorite? Maybe it goes always bankrupt? My favorite is Intamin and B&M, just like you. Please reply soon. MHLU (talk) 20:43, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

RE:Vekoma

It's okay. Many people have been doing that to me, replying like...maybe a year after I sent it. If you have any more concerns, let me know. Were you peripatetic traveling to amusement parks...something? MHLU^talk 23:32, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

major edit and rmoving outhers work

1. im not happy with you removing outhers work to replace it with your own its not polite. and 2 making large edits should be discussed b4 doing i personaly do not aprove because it is done by greed wanting to put all your own work out there over top outhers great work. cunsult talk pages b4 editing pages dont just remove a gallary to add your own its not right and know many moderators that will agree with me. --Cmedinger (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

o and as a side note i apreciate your work but dont just replace all the work done on one page with your own. as well your pictures are great what kind of camera are you using?--Cmedinger (talk) 02:15, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

revise away(keeping in mind your not the only photographer on wikipedia) i would minimaly like the main image of ttd left because i feel it fits better un the perspective of the size of the ride and the color is better in my opinion also limit your self to the # of images in a galary this isnt a photo encyclipedia pick one of each of the elements you wish to add to a gallery and stick to that 8 in my opinion is a max as far as making it looking cluttered also i just rembered i like the mantis image once again the color is amaysing and the quality isnt great but acceptable for the artical image size--Cmedinger (talk) 03:39, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

o and all images do not look good being only in a galary if it is well edited into a page minamily that would be preferance like maverics current setup but add a gallery at the bottom of the page--Cmedinger (talk) 03:42, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I happened to run across your edits on Top Thrill Dragster as well. Just to make sure you are aware, adding picture galleries, while not specifically discussed within the Manual of Style, are generally frowned upon and should be limited to no more than the images necessary to provide a well-rounded article. What we have on this article is basically the exact opposite - six photographs of the exact same thing from marginally different camera angles. You should come to an agreement on how to include the necessary pictures in the article and get rid of the rest. An article of this size doesn't have to be limited to a single photograph within the body of the article, but I definitely would try to limit it to two or three.

Six Flags St. Louis

Dear Coasterman1234,

Have you ever been to Six Flags St. Louis in Eureka, MO before?

If you like Wikipedia, you may also like my own wiki. It has roller coaster information that has a need to be created, along with some other related stuff. If you would like to join, you can click here.

If it's asking you to provide your birthday, it is actually requiring it because Wikia requires all users to provide their real date of birth as both a safety precaution and as a means of preserving the integrity of the site while complying with federal regulations. If you register at this wiki you will also be an editor on all Wikia sites.

So, if you accept, please type the template {{User:MHLU/Invitation accepted}} on a new section of my user page.

Also thank you for your good coaster editing.

Cheers, MHLU^talk 16:40, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Pictures of roller coasters in the French Wikipédia

Hello . My maternal tong is the French so my level in English isn't perfect.

I am a member of the French Wikipédia and I work in the French Project Amusement parks ( http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portail:Parcs_d%27attractions ) . You realise quality pictures and we like use them to illustrate ours articles . The problem is your pictures are in the English Wikipedia . To use these images in ours articles , we must transfert your image to wikipedia Commons (according the licence you put) and it is a long work . Can you upload at the future your photos in Wikipedia Commons ?

Your pictures are now used in French and German versions of Wikipedia. There is also another problem : some users do not like you put a big number of photos in articles and they delete the galeries , so after , it is difficult to me to find the pictures . In the French Project , we like a great number of pictures in ours articles . In example , http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plopsaland_De_Panne and http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walibi_Belgium . Good continuation .

Possibly unfree File:Mystery Mine (Logo).JPG

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Mystery Mine (Logo).JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Mystery Mine (Logo).JPG

A tag has been placed on File:Mystery Mine (Logo).JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Non-free rationale for File:MBPavilion.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:MBPavilion.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Proposed deletion of File:LZTR (Logo) (2).JPG

The file File:LZTR (Logo) (2).JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused logo with no article used, it's also can't move to commons because of an unused logo will be deleted as of out of project scope.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
