Yangluo bridge opening

Noticed the addition if this new bridge to the list of longest suspension bridge spans. Do you have a link to information about the opening of the bridge? At #9, it seems well worth having its own article, and perhaps a DYK mention. I haven't found any information about it. -- SamuelWantman 20:46, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

For sure, this is only one source in english (published on various webpages) [1]. Note that it is mentioned as cable-stayed bridge, altough it is obviously suspension. There are more sources in Chinese language. Unfortunately i cannot speak chinese, i am just using automatic translators, so i do not feel to be right person to create good article about that bridge, i can only create some short stub. --Jklamo (talk) 01:30, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I was hoping you had found something I hadn't. Even a short stub is better than nothing. -- SamuelWantman 08:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

DYK

Updated DYK query On 5 January, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Petr Kellner, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Aircraft carrier class names

Why are you orphaning and tagging for deletion plausible abbreviated class names like Ford class? If one person has used it in the past, someone is likely to use it again in the future even if it is orphaned. Eluchil404 (talk) 22:40, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


I was wondering about setting up a table to show the itinerary on this entry. It doesn't seem to have any very regular contributors, and I'm not sure a lot of people are taking time with these E-route entries. BUT I see that you are interested in this one. Good. Here are my questions:

The table I have in mind is inspired by Italian wiki itinerary table on some of the E roads. I've already experimented a little with adapting the format for English wiki - eg E27 (see also discussion page for that entry if you've time to follow this up) or E313, but E50 would be a much bigger project, and I don't want to take the time if either (1) someone else - you? - is already working on the same thing or (2) the format needs - or would be helped by - improvement before going further.

Do you have any thoughts to share on this, please?

Why Is the Bridge of the Americas a Cantilever Bridge?

I see that you reverted the List of longest cantilever bridges to put Bridge of the Americas back on the list after it was removed. Please explain on the Talk:Bridge of the Americas why you say that this bridge is a cantilever bridge. There was a previous discussion on that page that agreed it was not a cantilever. - SCgatorFan (talk) 02:29, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I would question some of the others, as well, but in this case even its own article does not claim that it is a cantilever. Mangoe (talk) 11:40, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
I expect all is now clearly described on Talk:Bridge of the Americas. --Jklamo (talk) 13:50, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I see that you removed the additional pic. I put it on there because the pics of this beautiful church are horrible in the original article. Please post some pics that are CLEAR and a bit larger if you want to enhance the article, otherwise let others enhance it and don't undo those changes.

Information from emporis.com

I undid your reversion to my edit to the List of tallest buildings in China article. I removed emporis.com's reference to "Heifei Feicui T.V. Tower" because the information from the site is wrong, they cannot even spell the name of the building right.--Kingdomer (talk) 21:50, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Input requested

Hi, your are listed in WikiProject Bridges and I wondered if you might want to weigh in on a requested move? There is a discussion here Talk:Suspension_bridge_types#Requested_move which results from a previous move. The discussion has major consequences on the content of the main article on suspension bridges? The root question: Is suspended deck bridge the proper name for a typical suspension bridge? - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 02:06, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 05:45, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi. PetroChina is listed on the list ($149.3 billion), but its parent company is the CNPC. Its annual report shows no revenue but only operating income. But even the operating income itself is bigger thatn PetroChina's revenue. I don't know if I should just keep PetroChina or what. Any help?? Jonathansuh (talk) 23:31, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

As in its annual report "operating costs" are subtracted from "operating income", think that "operating income"=revenue, "operating costs"=expenses, "operating profit"=operating income. However i am not sure, if CNPC "consolidated" revenue (1,218,278 RMB mil) is including Petrochina revenue (1,019,275 RMB mil), as there is no list of consolidated companies in CNPC annual report. If yes, i think we should list only CNPC, if not than we shold list both of them.--Jklamo (talk) 09:16, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Another issue. Even the so-called "reliable" sources don't match up with financial exchange rates. The European Central Bank states that the December 31st, 2009 exchange rate for euro is: 1 euro = 1.4406 US dollars. However, FED states that it is 1.4332 USD. What the heck do we do? Jonathansuh (talk) 00:22, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

What are these "financial exchange rates"? There are multiple exchange markets, different last hour of day for different countries etc., thus it is not surprising that rates are different depending on source (oanda.com, site that I used to for exchange rates in past, is listing 1 EUR = 1.43322 USD for same day - so again different rate compared to ECB or FED rates). I proposed FED as source because list is in US dollars so use US "central bank" rates seems to be most suitable. We must just select some source (and list it somewhere in article). Anyway my opinion about choosing source is not so strong, so if you have some primary source with same coverage and reliability, feel free to post it and we can discuss it (better on article discussion page than here). --Jklamo (talk) 10:22, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

The article Cyril Despres has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.  Chzz  ►  04:12, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi friend, I just reverted your edits, as you said while reverting my changes that "rv, stated as vision on skyscraperpage" if you read carefully on skyscraperpage i.e. here, which actually refers CTBUH as source, and CTBUH says its under construction. ref1, ref2 ref3 if you still want to see real progress about project, please follow this link [http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=610347&page=28 ref4], I will be uploading few image to wiki/commons which shows its u/c. Found another source(http://www.pozzocrete.co.in/index.php?id=69&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=148&tx_ttnews[backPid]=4&cHash=95ebc8b5da) which says they started providing POZZOCRETE 63 (concrete) to project in Aug 2010. I think I dont have to explain why concrete is used for :), thanks KuwarOnline Talk 06:27, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

CTBUH is not always right. CTBUH is only the source for the height. I still miss a official statement by the developer that it is really under-construction. If you have a look at the architects website (Foster+Partners) you won't find that project there. At least, World One is also not under-construction yet. Jerchel (talk) 14:49, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Its certainly u/c, I think if didnt read above reference well, I insist u should read again, one more from emporis.com which clearly says its u/c, also visit India Tower, my self uploaded few construction pics, also see google map for satellite images here, which shows big triangular hole, about World One, I will get back to you on this soon.

Please do not restore this image to that article again. The use of non-free images on lists such as this, especially when a main article exists for it, is not supported.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on ECM Real Estate Investments requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. andy (talk) 23:17, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors.

I'd very much like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project, or if you know anyone with whom I should speak.

Thank you for your time,

Non-free rationale for File:REvueDevetsilu-1928-07.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:REvueDevetsilu-1928-07.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.

Highest points

Hi. Why do you think Category:Lists of highest points isn't a relevant category for List of highest bridges in the world? DoctorKubla (talk) 15:39, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

hi, that category seems to be geographically-based, so i think that is not so relevant. But if you do not want to have it in general Category:Lists of superlatives, i agree that it is most relevant from its sub-categories (Cateogry:Lists of tallest structures seems to be less relevant). So you if you want, you can revert my edit. --Jklamo (talk) 16:23, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. I appreciate that "highest points" seems like a geographical distinction, but as you say, it's the most relevant of the superlative sub-cats.

List of Longest Tunnels

Hello! This article lists the longest tunnels in the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_tunnels_in_the_world

This article lists another tunnel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirlmere_Aqueduct

As you can see, the articles contradict each other. Therefore, I changed the first article so that Thirlmere was at the top of it. However, when I checked the article again several weeks later, it had returned to its current state! I asked Wikipedia what had happened, and they told me "The edit was made by a user called Jklamo. The 'Wiki way' when you want to contest someone's edit is to politely post on their user talk page, asking them why they made the edit".

So, this is my polite post - may I ask why you reversed my edit? Thanks! Robbieballantine21 (talk) 13:50, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

AfD closure review

Hello! In light of the improper venue outcome of the DR/N discussion in which you participated, I am notifying you that I have asked Black Kite, the administrator that closed the AfD discussion for "Highest-valued currency unit", to review the result. The result of the discussion was "merge to List of circulating currencies" and I have asked Black Kite to reconsider the result because it appears that there was no consensus for the merge at the time of the discussion and because there is no consensus for the merge at this time. I invite you to give your opinion on the matter at the discussion taking place on Black Kite's talk page. I understand that this process has led to much contention between various editors. In the interest of expediency, I would like to suggest that you limit your comments to the issue of the AfD closure and not discuss any other issues. Thank you. – Zntrip 20:34, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Problems are: missing spaces, excess spaces, bad wikilinks (not only because of missing articles, but also because of incorrect formation) and use of non-existent templates on cswiki (I already fixed bad infobox with artifacts from denegue article). I am afraid that some of these problems could be easily solved, if translator bother to read the text after submitting it to cswiki. --Jklamo (talk) 03:06, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Many thanks. So we do inform all the translators when the articles are added and invite them to come fix the last few issues. The translations however are not being added by the translators but by a few of us English speakers. We are trying to recruit local Wikipedians to help and have managed in a number of languages but not yet unfortunately in Czech.
I think I have removed most of the templates that are none existent have I not? We are going through the source file to remove templates before translation so hopefully this will be less of an issue going forwards. Will look into the issue with spaces. I know that sometimes this is a malfunction with copy and paste. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 03:19, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

New Page Review needs your help

Hi Jklamo,

As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).

Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.

Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.

It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of countries by motor vehicle production in the 2000s 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 countries by motor vehicle production in the 2000s 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. KAP03 (talk) 18:07, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Motor vehicle ranking

In the spirit of WP:BRD, can we all agree to stop editing/reverting articles concerning the ranking of motor vehicle production and to try to discuss it instead. After we have some form of resolution from the discussion (or at least an edict from the administrators), then we can make the articles match to whatever the discussion resolved.

Furthermore, a discussion spread out over many talk pages is hard to follow and mostly results in the same arguments being repeated for no benefit. If it failed to convince anyone at one talk page then why would it convince the same people at another page?

I suggest we put the majority of our discussion at Talk:List of manufacturers by motor vehicle production.

Changing name of Solovki prison camp; removing unrelated item from Languages on Dmitriev page

Dear Jklamo

I have followed your suggestions in revising several articles. Instead of saving each change as and when it's made I am trying to make several changes each time and then, after checking in the Preview mode, and making any further adjustments, saving the lot.

(One reason for my earlier practice is that I began editing online in the 1990s when email and, indeed, computers were far more volatile in their behaviour. The habit was tehn acquired of saving often to avoid sudden loss of any alteration.)

Now I face two principal tasks and would welcome your guidance:

1. For reasons stated on the Talk page I feel strongly that the name of the Solovki entry should be changed from the oxymoronic "prison camp" to special prison. No one has yet repled. How long do I wait before invoking Move?

2. Under languages a link appeared recently on the Yury Dmitriev page to a page in Arabic script.

After investigation with the help of a good linguist it has been established that this page probably originates from Azeri speakers in Iran and has NOTHING to do with Yury Dmitriev (it concerns legal definitions and does not mention the Karelian activist).

How can that unrelated link be removed? I have tried and so far not succeeded in getting rid of this unwanted and distracting addition to the page.

Hello, Jklamo. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, HB Reavis, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

  1. edit the page
  2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

"half-year" results as ridership in List of metro system article

I saw you reverted my last edit because of it, but I want to make very clear that I merely fixed the form of a bad-shaped reference, without endorsing the substance of it. As a matter of fact, reading the source (a thing I did in order to correctly fill in the "cite web" template) it's obvious the contributor who firstly made the edit somewhat extrapolated the figure since:

  • the source refers unambiguously to the year 2017, which has not yet ended;
  • the source reports a different number from that in the table (1.23 instead of 3.0 millions), and attributes it to the first semester.

Therefore, aside from reshaping the reference in a way it'll "work", I added that caveat. If such an "extrapolated from partial" ridership figure doesn't comply with the consensus on that Wiki article, you'll have to blame the original contributor (who used such a data), and not me: deleting my caveat doesn't change the fact that the mentioned ridership of 3 million passengers is only a projections, and not a real, past data. If you want a policy-compliant figure, you'll have to retrieve the previous one (and its reference) searching in the revision history or to substitute it with an n/a, as a not-available data: which do you prefer? In both cases, I'm willing to do it personally. 93.57.255.93 (talk) 11:13, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for additional info. I did not notice, that you actually fix the reference.
Extrapolated projections really don’t comply with the consensus on that article, so I prefer to retrieve to retrieve the previous reference.--Jklamo (talk) 07:28, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
Then, I'll try to find when the edit was made, so that we can retake the previous ridership data (which unfortunately I've only a vague recollection of) & the related reference. Once I've found it, I'll restore everything adding also an "Nb" that reports the remarkable increase in users this year. 93.57.255.93 (talk) 11:15, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
I eventually found (by chance) a source wich reports the latest (2016) ridership figure for this system, therefore I fixed that cell in the table (which meantime has become even more a mess): it's a little late - more than two months after we spoke about it and near the end of the year, which will make "outdated" the newly added data - but, as it's said, better late than never! Anyway, best wishes and Merry Christmas. 93.57.255.93 (talk) 18:43, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Rampion Windfarm

Thanks for your edits to the Rampion page, but I think they are premature.

The wind farm is still under construction, and although all turbines have now produced power at one time or another, work is still underway both onshore and offshore (ref the additional reference you added "Over the coming months, work will continue both on and offshore, to prepare the site for full operation later this year." - indeed a couple of days ago, all turbines were stopped (I can see them from near my house) despite medium wind speed, low renewable generation and high grid demand. This is most likely due to ongoing commissioning work at the electrical substations and/or cable route.

The operator's page for the wind farm also shows "The wind farm has started generating power, with first electricity delivered to the grid in November 2017. It will be completed and fully operational in 2018." at https://www.rampionoffshore.com/

http://www.4coffshore.com/windfarms/rampion-united-kingdom-uk36.html states "Partial Generation/Under Construction" - which is also the case as far as I know.

Please can you revise your edits to reflect this, and only put the status to operational once the wind farm is fully commissioned?
