List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes

Please stop restoring the link to SpongeBob SquarePants (season 9). The article, which breached WP:CRYSTAL and contained no original content has been redirected and the link you keep restoring serves no useful purpose. --AussieLegend (talk) 05:19, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Your addition to Love That Squid has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Love That Squid

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 Love That Squid requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 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.

Proposed deletion of County Road 61 (Hennepin County, Minnesota)

The article County Road 61 (Hennepin County, Minnesota) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and no assertion of notability. Why is this CR special? What secondary sources indicate its notability?

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Linking to other highways or roads in a highway article

You've been inserting additional links to County Road 81 (Hennepin County, Minnesota) in the Minnesota State Highway 610 article. Please stop. It's already linked in the lead where it is first mentioned. It is also abbreviated consistently throughout the article. Please don't spell the name out in full or add an additional link. Per WP:OVERLINK, one link is sufficient for everything on an article of this length. There are extra links in the infobox and exit list as well. Imzadi 1979 → 20:49, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

OK

Also, it's a good writing practice to use abbreviations better. For instance, the first time any Interstate Highway is mentioned, spell out the name in full with the abbreviation after it in parentheses, like: "Interstate 94 (I-94)". Then after that point in an article, you can abbreviate any Interstate Highway. So if in the next sentence or paragraph, you can just mention "I-694" or "I-35W" or whatever. Same for US Highways: spell out the first highway's name in full with the abbreviation and then use abbreviations only. If you're working on an article about a county road, the "CR #" abbreviation should be in bold in parentheses in the first sentence of the lead, which means every CR in that article can be abbreviated on first mention.

{{jct}} in the infobox and junction list uses the abbreviations only, so it's important that we introduce them to readers and use the consistently. Not all readers will be from the US, nor would they all be expected to know how highway names are abbreviated in the US or even every US state. Imzadi 1979 → 21:28, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Low-quality edits to Minnesota State Highway 610

I'm reverting and fixing a number of edits you made to the MN 610 article.

1. You moved an entire paragraph out of the route description section into the lead. According to WP:LEAD, which is required by the Good Article Criteria, the lead is a summary of the body of the article. When you moved that information up out of the RD, there was information in the lead that wasn't repeated in the body of the article, meaning it no longer summarized the article.
2. You updated the length, but you didn't update the footnote or the exit list table. Additionally, your length is incorrect. The terminal milepost for MN 610 is 12.314 and the starting MP is 2.486. 12.314 − 2.486 = 9.828 miles.
3. You added lengths in the text of the article that didn't have their metric conversions. Per MOS:CONVERSIONS, we need to list the metric conversion for every SAE/Imperial measurement. This is usually done with the {{convert}} template. Also, "miles" is not a proper noun, so it isn't capitalized.

The article on MN 610 is a Good Article. (That's why it has the little green "+" icon in the upper right corner and the box at the top of its talk page.) It has been reviewed against a set of criteria and listed as an article at that status. The article is the only one for all of the WP:MNSH articles that has attained that status. I have personally paid for archived newspaper articles to use as sources for the history of the article, so I have an invested financial interest in the state of the article. All editors are welcome to make changes and improvements to the article, but I'd like to keep the quality of this article at a consistent level, or improving, so that the article does not get delisted as a GA in the future. Additionally, I'm hoping that you'll learn things so that your editing improves so that maybe you can start updating other articles to the same quality level.

A tag has been placed on Runaway Roadtrip, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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. Gaijin42 (talk) 17:31, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 16

Hi. When you recently edited Los Angeles Lakers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jordan Hill (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
