English dialect changes

Hi Jakob, you accepted this edit to Miriam Makeba, but it was a change of English dialect contrary to the relevant guideline so I've undone that edit. Graham87 01:13, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Nope, it's written in South African English. Thanks for pointing out the remaining uses of "ize" in the article; I've fixed them. Graham87 02:27, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

The railroad article you enquired about at the Teahouse

Hi King! Firstly, I would suggest you contact Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains for style questions like you've asked. I suspect, tho, that you are going to find that railroad lines themselves are pretty non-notable. The name you quoted in your question is the name of a railroad company, not the line that it originally built. An example of what I mean. There exists a set of railroad tracks running from Porter, Indiana to Kalamazoo, Michigan. It currently belongs to Amtrak. Prior to that, it was part of the Penn Central, which it got from The New York Central when they merged with The Pennsylvania Railroad. Prior to that, it was part of The Michigan Central. There were other companies before that. In short, it seems that railroad companies are notable, while railroad lines are apparently not. Again, check with the Wikiproject to be sure. You could certainly write about the company and mention the dispersion or abandonment of its various parts, but before you get too far in, you should probably get some expert advice. If you opt to go with the company, I would suggest that you include information on abandoned portions that have been re-purposed, such as turned into roads or bike trails. Happy editing.

Inappropriate non-admin close

If it isn't an obvious closure, such as everyone agreeing that it should be kept, please let administrators close discussions such as this one. Contentious non-admin closures like that cause more issues than anything and are very likely to be reverted, so if it's not a super obvious consensus that nobody would disagree with it's best to let admins close it. - SudoGhost 04:42, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

An ANI discussion regarding you

There is a discussion at WP:ANI regarding your closing the deletion discussion for Screaming Banshee Aircrew at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Screaming Banshee Aircrew. It has already been reverted, but you shouldn't have closed that discussion. For starters, NAC (non-admin closures) should only be done in the least controversial cases, and this one had already been tagged with {{notavote}}, demonstrating there was a potential problem with canvassing or meatpuppetry. Second, you've been here only a short while, and NACs of AFDs are controvsial enough when it is a highly experienced editor (the policy actually discourages it, but doesn't ban it). While it might seem obvious that it was going to be kept, experience will show that often an AFD will have a dozen keeps and no deletes, then after a CheckUser gets involved, we find those were all the same person, for instance. This stuff really happens. Even in cases where the votes are all legitimate, it doesn't hurt to wait, and of course, when there are issues such as vote stacking or any controversy, no non-admin should close. Admin aren't smarter than non-admin, but we are expected to take the heat and are accountable for dealing with problems like this. I appreciate the desire to help, but closing AFDs should wait until you've been here a while longer. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 23:29, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

• I see by your ANI comment that you aren't as new as we thought. I would still leave the problem AFDs with tags and such to admin. There is often a lot of heat thrown around them, making it better for someone with the bit to close, even if they seem obvious. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 12:13, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Mariano Rajoy and Hitler comparisons

This edit that you accepted, comparing the Spanish Prime Minister to Hitler, based on one users personal POV and sources which don't mention him, is clearly unacceptable on BLP grounds and is exactly why we have pending changes on that article.

Don't remove good faith edits from pages

Er, why did you change someone's username to "y" in the same edit? ^King Jakob _C2 17:42, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

I edit on a mobile. If the text is long and unwieldy (multiple levels of indents) that sometimes happens. Usually what other editors do, is they correct the odd edits that mobile editing leaves, based on the content of the primary edit showing that it was not vandalism. I see the edit could have left you confused; however, if you had included information in your edit summary, about why you reverted, I would have known what was going on, that you thought it was vandalism.

Deleting someone's content from a discussion is not a "Minor edit," by the way. -65.129.159.247 (talk) 19:34, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Hallo, I am interested in hydronymy as it looks the language of prehistoric Europe is reflected therein. I left a message on the wikiproject rivers talkpage, just looking for editors with similar interests to exchange information.

Railroad article

Hi KJ. I enjoyed your article, but I think you have misinterpreted the source, as I mention on the article talk page and on the DKY nomination. This is understandable as the source could be clearer (and it could also do without the mistakes in grammar, usage and punctuation). If I were you I would come up with a different hook, perhaps shortening the present one and simply saying that the railroad was referred to as the cannon ball, or something to that effect. While there can be doubts about the source, I recognize that much work in this area is done by dedicated amateurs, I'm not challenging the article on reliabilty. Best wishes and good luck, Kablammo (talk) 16:06, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

What about my alt hook? ^King Jakob _C2 17:22, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

You changed the article itself to say that the area between Ashley and Wilkes-Barre was termed the "cannon ball".[1], which is consistent with the proposed DYK hook. But the source only says that "It was a 45 minute roller coaster ride nicknamed 'The Cannon Ball'".[2], p. 2. The question is, what is "It"? The timetable in the article shows that express trains could go from Hezleton to Wilkes-Barre in 45 minutes. It only took seven minutes to go from Ashley to Wilkes-Barre. Therefore "It" must be the route as a whole, not just the final, 3-1/4 mile section from Ashley to Wilkes-Barre.

Your alternate hook, that the railroad was the first to have a guarded third rail, is supported by the source. I won't pass on it as it is a very broad statement and I don't have complete confidence in it, but I will not oppose either. Kablammo (talk) 23:48, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
