Talk page deletion

Haha yes I did mean to nominate the template and not the talk page, my bad! Thanks! Lady Lotus (talk) 12:45, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

No problem. Honest mistakes happen to even the best every once in a while. TCN7JM 23:01, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Maps / Infobox Road / Wikidata

I was doing some My Contributions stalking (like talk page stalking, but different) and noticed your edit here which deleted the line displaying the map I created for the article but the having the map still being displayed. You mentioned it's related to Wikidata but information about it seems to be scarce on the WP:USRD pages and tl;dr elsewhere. Is there anything I can do to expedite the process of getting the maps I create into there or should I just continue to do it the old |map=efojiefoijfe.svg method? —Mr. Matté (Talk/Contrib) 22:52, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) If the map name is entered into the Wikidata entry for the article, it will automatically appear in the infobox. In theory, any other articles on other language editions of Wikipedia would also import the map, assuming those infoboxes are set to automatically import. Imzadi 1979 → 23:02, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
I'll explain it a bit further. Basically, a module was created a couple months ago to link the |map= parameter on IBR to the road map property on Wikidata. The easiest way to add maps to articles from now on is to find the article's item on Wikidata (there's a "Data item" link on the sidebar) and add the property with your map as the claim. For example, with OH 257, this was the edit I performed to get the map to show up in the infobox. If you're unfamiliar with how to add properties to items, I'd be happy to walk you through that, too. It's quite simple. TCN7JM 23:10, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Writer's block

Help! I have writer's block! I mean, I can't write any road articles because I can't think of any new roads. Can you help me? Philroc (talk) 22:15, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Most of the articles for primary state highways in Virginia have already been created. The only one I can see that doesn't have an article yet and isn't only a proposed route is SR 380 (I'm going off of this list). If you have info on that, go ahead and create it. If not, you're just going to have to improve an existing article if you wish to keep working with highways in Virginia. TCN7JM 01:07, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
That's OK - I've already started creating an article! Philroc (talk) 02:42, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

New Page Patrol

Hi. Thank you for patrolling new pages. I noticed you tagged Mirsaidov Ulmas Mirsaidovich within just 2 minutes of creation. Please take a moment to check out the instructions for patrolling at WP:NPP. We do a disservice to new editors by deleting their efforts before they've evne had time to populate a page. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:16, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

So...declining it thirty minutes after my tagging after the author had done nothing to it but initially create it with {{help me}} was correct? This seems like declining because I tagged it too hastily, not because it didn't meet the criterion. TCN7JM 11:27, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
And it was deleted shortly after anyway by Nyttend. Declining it only for another editor to have to come along and tag it for the same reason, does seem a little pointless. Personally, if I came across an article with just the {{help me}} template, I would likely delete it via A3 and contact the editor on their talk page to ask what the problem was. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:43, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm Kudpung. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Mirsaidov Ulmas Mirsaidovich, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:18, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

SD 100

In case you hadn't seen it, there's a large article about SD Highway 100 in the Argus Leader. (I think you asked me about it last year.) AlexiusHoratius 14:57, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

I believe I did. With the amounts of sources I've found, writing a Future-class article for the highways has been on my mental to-do list for a while now, but I've not in recent time found the time to write it all. I might start a sandbox later. Thanks for alerting me of this source, I had not seen it. TCN7JM 20:33, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

(Resilient Barnstar) Moved, see User:TCN7JM#Last but not least, my awards
Thanks. This means a lot to me. I think if I just work on the stuff those who opposed told me I needed to work on, I'll have a shot next year. TCN7JM 18:34, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
I myself opposed your adminship at this point of time, but simultaneously disagree with some of the other cited reasons for opposition. I also appreciate that you haven't blown a fuse at repeated use of the term immature instead of inexperienced (barring the two year old vandalism, I don't see any sign of the former; you have come a long way since 2011). So keep your chin up, take the constructive feedback at the RFA for what its worth, and reapply after a suitable period. You are likely to have my support then. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 02:36, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Will do. Thank you for your advice. TCN7JM 03:53, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
I'll also chime in: I think you are this close to being sysop material. Just take your time to brush up on the policies you haven't been too exposed to, and you'll be fine next time. Best of luck! §FreeRangeFrogcroak 03:20, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks! TCN7JM 03:21, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for offering for adminship. I endorse what your supporters have said in the RfA. In the future, anytime after say three months, if you wish to run for an RfA, why don't you drop me a line? Best. Wifione Message 04:13, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Discussion of interest

A discussion you may be interested in is this RFC, a proposal to make the second comma in a date/place optional. United States Man (talk) 05:32, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

RfA

Sorry your RfA went the way it did. I went neutral but I would have liked to support, and may do so at some point in the future. Gigs (talk) 15:52, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Gigs says it all to be honest, but adding my own thoughts for a quick second: You are highly respected cross-wiki, thus my support. Keep chugging along. Don't let this bring you down and unless you morph back into a vandal (), then I will be maintaining my support. Best of luck. Sportsguy17 02:24, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
Sorry it didn't go well, friend. Don't let it get you down. You're still a quality member of the community. AutomaticStrikeout (₵) 02:37, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
Thank you all for your support of me as an editor and for these words of encouragement. I will continue to contribute to Wikipedia in the ways I feel I do best...except for when my computer crashes like it did today (sad)! TCN7JM 04:34, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
Don't give up and I'm sure you will succeed one day! Good luck! Jianhui67 talk★contribs 07:16, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
