Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Railway electrification in New Zealand, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages New Zealand Railways and NZR. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Drury station

Hello, I'm very pleased to see that, where they were lacking, you're inserting opening dates for stations in the Auckland network, and apparently you're using a very good source. So thank you for that. However, I have a concern about your changes to Drury railway station, where you changed the wording to show that the station was on the Southern Line. The problem I have is that I'm not clear whether "Southern Line" was the name of the service that ran (until the closure of Drury in 1972). The terminology might have been "Pukekohe Line" or something else, so maybe we can't say that Drury was "on the Southern Line" because maybe that term didn't come into existence until later. I don't have your book, so I'd like you to check that it definitely uses the term "Southern Line" when referring to Drury.

The second thing is that it's phrased not quite correctly. The correct wording should be that it was located on the NIMT line, and Southern Line services ran to Pukekohe via it. It has concerned me for some time that most of the station articles are loosely worded, and I've been trying whenever possible to make a clear distinction between designated lines, such as the Newmarket Line, the North Auckland Line, and the NIMT Line, and the four service lines they carry, Western Line, Eastern Line, Southern Line, and Onehunga Line. Akld guy (talk) 00:45, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Re Drury Station, Juliet Scoble says by the Drury entry “Auckland-Waikato” (Railway), but I wanted to link to the present name. The article Southern Line, Auckland has a section labelled “Stations on the line” which includes Drury and other closed stations. So the Southern Line seems to refer to a section of line or section of the North Island Main Trunk as well as to the trains running on it. Hence could station articles like these say “The Southern Line section of the NIMT?
NB in Wellington Kapiti Line refers to a section of the NIMT which was formerly the Paraparaumu Line or Paekakariki Line before the electrified suburban section was extended. Hugo999 (talk) 05:04, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
[C]ould station articles like these say “The Southern Line section of the NIMT? I'm really uncomfortable with that phraseology. It might lead a reader to suppose that 'Southern Line' is a dedicated section of track, but it's not, and here is an illustration of why the term shouldn't be used that way. Between Newmarket and Westfield Junction, Southern Line services run on a portion of the North Auckland Line (designation NAL). Imagine that you referred to that section of the NAL as the Southern Line section. Now imagine there was some incident that forced the closure of that section of the NAL, and Southern Line services had to be rerouted east of Britomart via Glen Innes and Panmure for a time so that they could follow the NIMT route (in its entirety) to Papakura. Would an existing statement referring to the Southern Line portion of the NAL still be valid? No, it wouldn't. Service routes such as 'Southern Line' shouldn't be used to define sections of track, because, although unlikely, they can be rerouted. Therefore, I think the only proper solution is to use landmarks to describe the limits of sections of track. The rerouting situation could become more likely when the City Rail Link comes into operation in 3 years or so, and if the Avondale-Southdown Line goes ahead. Both sets of track will provide more route diversity. Akld guy (talk) 19:03, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:195 by country

 

A tag has been placed on Category:195 by country requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Rotary system

Hi. Re: your good faith addition of an image to the above article. I had to remove the image because the Strowger system has no similarity whatsoever to the Rotary system, although both systems have line finders. Akld guy (talk) 06:43, 30 July 2017 (UTC) OK, agree with retaining image in both articles. The first Wellington rotary exchanges (Courtenay Place & Wellington South) cutover on 18 October 1919, and there are some pictures (probably of Courtenay Place, which with Wellington Central served the Wellington CBD) in the Free Lance of 22 October page 15 (search Papers Past for “exchange”). Re noise, I recall the interworking registers in the old Wellington Central II in Stout Street; very noisy. Made by the British suppliers, they had 4 or 5 uniselectors. During setting up a call, one u/s was working all the time, if one u/s stopped another started. And during the busy hour after one call it would immediately start on another call!

Rugby league cats

Hi there, I've seen that you've tweaked a few cats. My query would be that by assigning a nationality to the list, one might, quite reasonably assume that the entire list is British, Australian, or whatever it has been refined to. I know that you were making it clearer that the club what British or Australian, but the refinement may through up a few questions.Fleets (talk) 11:39, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

While club players are often imported from other clubs or countries, players for a club e.g. say Brisbane Broncos are categorised by club into a subcategory of Australian rugby league players. Hence it seems OK to classify say lists of Brisbane Broncos players in the category Category:Lists of Australian rugby league footballers rather than in the category “Australian rugby league lists” (of which it is now in a subcategory of anyway; and the new category is also now a subcategory of “Lists of Australian sportspeople”).

Good on you for taking an interest but would you mind checking that something isn't wikilinked before hatnoting it?

  • It might help if you set up a page like User:Keith-264/common.js and install importScript('User:Evad37/duplinks-alt.js'); so duplicated wikilinks show up in red letterboxes. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 14:07, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
Well I try to avoid duplicate Wikilinks in the same paragraph/section but I think that more than one link to another article is justified in a long multisection article. Hugo999 (talk) 21:53, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
You might but wiki doesn't Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking

Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, a link may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, hatnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead.

if you put more than one wikilink in the main text, someone will reverse it and your time will have been wasted. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 21:59, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Right of way (shipping)

 

The article Right of way (shipping) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This stub is in poor English, it is unclear in what it is trying to say and uses a term which navigational textbooks never use. There is no "right of way", the regs only refer to a "stand-on" vessel (see rule 17).

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page 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.

Year in sports category

I have noticed you going around adding to old wrestling articles the category say its in sports, such as here. Professional wrestling however is across wikipedia not considered a sport, it is entertainment. Just curious what your basis is to now be adding sport to all of these? I would recommend undoing these additions. Thanks - GalatzTalk 14:11, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Upon further investigation I have noticed that your edits have been undone on other pages such as here by *Treker, who mentioned in his edit that it as well was not a sport. Again I request that you stop adding this to pages. I do thank you for adding the professional wrestling in state categories however during your clean up. - GalatzTalk 14:23, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
Yes, I appreciate the effort but it's just not accurate.★Trekker (talk) 15:37, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
While I added the category Category:Professional wrestling in Oregon to the article No Mercy (2008) (and some other articles on professional wrestling events); I did not create or alter the category itself, which like similar "by state" categories has the parent category Category:Wrestling in Oregon (a sport). However the overall parent category Category:Professional wrestling in the United States (and other countries) has two parent categories i.e. both as a sport and an entertainment. PS: Category:Professional wrestlers from Oregon (and other states?) classes them as sportspeople from Oregon. Hugo999 (talk) 19:30, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
Its a bit confusing I think having wrestling as the parent category. Wrestling is obviously referring to the combat sport Wrestling. I would propose removing that as a parent category since they are not really the same thing, and professional wrestling is not a sport. - GalatzTalk 19:41, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
You could put up for Category:Categories for discussion that all the Professional Wrestling categories should be moved from the "Sports" categories to the "Entertainment events" categories, though the consensus might be to retain both parents. Though not being a fan personally, it could be argued that professional wrestlers are not competing to win (as in true sports!) Hugo999 (talk) 01:37, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Consensus was reached and all professional wrestling categories were removed from anything doing from sports, yet you are still adding them to sports categories. Please stop! - GalatzTalk 03:10, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

No while it was perhaps under consideration, but when was consensus reached? I have not seen any discusion. Hugo999 (talk) 03:23, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

I brought it to the wikiproject last week and made the changes several days ago. - GalatzTalk 03:46, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Articles for Creation Reviewing

 
Hello, Hugo999.
AfC submissions
Random submission

Purge to update

I recently sent you an invitation to join NPP, but you also might be the right candidate for another related project, AfC, which is also extremely backlogged.
Would you please consider becoming an Articles for Creation reviewer? Articles for Creation reviewers help new users learn the ropes of creating their first articles, and identify whether topics are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Reviewing drafts doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia inclusion policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. (After requesting to be added to the project, reviewing is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the reviewing instructions before making your decision. Thanks. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 03:06, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Stone churches in the UK

Hi, are you aware that just about every extant church in the UK is constructed of stone, and an even higher proportion of the ones that no longer exist? Yes, there are a few notable modern brick churches, probably a few part-wood ones (the chapel at Halston Hall is timber-framed) etc but Category:Stone churches in the United Kingdom is going to be truly massive and probably not very useful. Does wonders for your edit count but the UK may not be as variant in construction material as some of the other categorised countries. - Sitush (talk) 09:03, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I think I will remove the category; though they are classed as limestone or sandstone churches. Hugo999 (talk) 09:05, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Some granite ones in Scotland! If you went down that road then perhaps your idea has legs. Eg: churches using clunch stone, ashlar etc. You've got me thinking now. - Sitush (talk) 09:15, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

References for articles on US Senate elections, 2020

The original United States Senate election in Oklahoma, 2020 article I created in 2016 (likewise for New Hampshire and South Carolina) were redirects to the general article on United States Senate elections in 2020 (as were most of the articles by state for 2020; hence they appear in the category 2020 in Oklahoma etc). Someone has replaced them with separate articles for Oklahoma etc, and they should provide the references! Hugo999 (talk) 09:55, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of United States Senate election in New Mexico, 2020 for deletion

 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article United States Senate election in New Mexico, 2020 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/United States Senate election in New Mexico, 2020 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.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  01:11, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Again, see above, I created this as a redirect to the general article on United States Senate elections, 2020 so the redirect could be recreated (it is one of 33 articles on 2020 Senate elections by state, and could have potential candidates added). Hugo999 (talk) 01:16, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Irish travellers and Romani

Hi, I just wanted to drop by and let you know that while both groups are often referred by to by the pejorative term "gypsy", they are not the same or related ethnic groups.★Trekker (talk) 10:01, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Short story collection categories

No disrespect and I'm glad that you're trying to bring some kind of conformance to these categories but I'd like to ask if there's any way that you can edit them a little less maybe? I'm getting hundreds of emails about how you're updating these categories. Again--I'm happy you are and I'm not trying to discourage you but if there's anyway to streamline editing them over and over again, that would be appreciated. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 20:28, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Well I am just adding "navseasoncats" to the categories for short story collections by year e.g. Category:1949 short story collections as this is the only category for books or works by year that does not have it or similar to aid navigation! Gee, hundreds of emails! Hugo999 (talk) 20:34, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, I created all of these and I get emails when my watchlist is updated, so for these routine maintenance edits, I'm getting lots of emails. But you're doing good work, so don't let my slite annoyance stop any useful editing. Just a gentle request to try to consolidate these edits as much as possible (i.e. don't edit the same thing four or five times) but if that's what you need, that's what you need. Thanks. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 20:49, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Minor edits

Hello John, happy new year to you. Not a biggie, but there have been several items on my watchlist today where edits by you are marked as minor that are not minor (for example 1 and 2 and 3). Help:Minor edit gives a definition of a minor edit as "a good rule of thumb is that edits consisting solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content should be flagged as minor edits" (emphasis as per the original). The second-to-last bullet point under the heading 'Things to remember' explains why this is a problem. Any queries, please ask (here's good).

Have a great, productive 2018 and keep up your good work. Schwede66 08:54, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Belated best wishes for a happy 2018
