Deleted radio lists

Hi,

Could you please restore the following radio station lists?

List of radio stations in Los Angeles, List of radio stations in San Francisco, List of radio stations in San Diego, List of radio stations in Riverside and San Bernardino, List of radio stations in San Jose, List of radio stations in Fresno, List of radio stations in Bakersfield, List of radio stations in Visalia, List of radio stations in Modesto, List of radio stations in Ventura County, List of radio stations in Santa Rosa, List of radio stations in the Victor Valley, List of radio stations in Palm Springs, List of radio stations in San Luis Obispo, List of radio stations in Merced, List of radio stations in Chico, List of radio stations in California by market area

These lists organize radio stations exactly the way the radio industry does, by Arbitron market. These lists also contain information, such as branding, owners and formats which have not been included in the List of radio stations in California which was claimed to have "deprecated" these lists. RadioStationWorld is another source which organizes radio stations by market areas. While these lists were admittedly incomplete, I have intended to work on them to fill them out, but I have been on extended wikibreak due to more pressing work and life priorities. Thank you.

I am willing to provide you with copies of the deleted material which you can then recreate as you see appropriate, though I would recommend that you merge some of the lists together to avoid a future PROD tag being placed on them (or even an AfD for that matter).

Those copies can be found here. Tiptoety 15:30, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations on your adminship

Thank you for stepping up to help the project. Feel free to call on me if I can be of any assistance to you. --SSBohio 19:11, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, will do. Tiptoety 19:40, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Thnaks for your hard work.

I would just like to say (while my connection is backlogged with reverts and warns) thanks for all of my block requests in AIV that you have blocked. There is way to much vandalism atm. Just hope it will stop soon. ·Add§hore· /_Cont 20:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

You are welcome, glad to help out. Tiptoety 20:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Now get back to blocking people!! ^^ :D ·Add§hore· /_Cont 20:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Lol, on my way there right now :D Tiptoety 20:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Congrats

Hi Tiptoety, just wanted to say congratulations on becoming admin, and thanks for all your hard work. I'm sure your enthusiasm for keeping things humming around here will be a great asset to the project! -Pete (talk) 01:06, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I also appreciate your comments on my RfA and hope to spend some time soon working on articles. Cheers, Tiptoety 01:11, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

A Complex Issue

• Hi, can you please have a look here I don't know what to do, but I checked the existence of the book, it does exist, but the others, I need you to mediate. Thanks. Steve Crossin (talk) 04:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
• Take to Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, explain the issue and some users will check to see if the book does exist, and if not deal with it from there. Tiptoety 04:36, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

		Should also be called the 41 barnstar. Thanks for the help. Malinaccier (talk) 01:53, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Lol, your welcome. That was very odd editing behavior, then did you see the message he left on his talk.....hmm....makes you wonder. Thanks for the shiny! :D Tiptoety 01:54, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Page moves

How long did it end up taking to clean up that mess, 41 minutes? :D —Travis 03:40, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Lol, yea something like that. That was by far some of the strangest editing behavior i have ever seen, then after he was blocked, he left a note saying it was expected he was just on a rampage. He probably has 41 other accounts to go do the same thing with :) Tiptoety 03:42, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Sheesh, I hope not :O —Travis 03:44, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I know, that would mean (100 page moves X 41 accounts) 4100 page moves to fix...AHHH! Tiptoety 03:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

List of characters in 24

• Hey, I just thought I'd tell you, I've changed my mind. I'm going to do the above article to improve as a 24 article, I'm adding references as was asked, even though I think it's ridiculous. And im removing the excessive info next to the characters, such as what they did in each day etc. It's not necessary. Would improving that article qualify? Also can you post a {{talkback}} template on my page? Thanks. And im at 4300+ edits now :) Steve Crossin (talk) 03:54, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
• Yep, that article is just fine. All my requirements where is that you significantly edit an article of your interest. 4300+ ooo.... you are getting so close to graduating! :P Tiptoety 03:56, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• Very well then. It will take me maybe an hour to find citations for all of them. I'm trying to find newspaper articles, but if worst comes to worst, can I use IMDB? After I've added citations, I'll remove the tag, then can you review it, and tell me if its OK? Steve Crossin (talk) 03:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
• Yea, that is alright. Are you going to be doing any other work on the article, other than finding references that is? Tiptoety 04:01, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• Yes, as I said, there is some excessive info in the article. If you check the articles edit history, you will see I've removed some excessive info. Also, I've got a question. If you use a citation more than once, how do you do that? Steve Crossin (talk) 04:05, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• Okay. If you look here it shows you how to. Tiptoety 04:09, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, that seems simple enough. I think I'm going OK, what do you think? And, also, I should have my 5000 edits by the end of the day, if not then, it will be within 24 hours, easily. I apparently have a case of WP:ECT. How do you think the article I'm editing is going? :)

• Looks good, one suggestion would be to place brackets "" around the external links in the references, it just looks better. Tiptoety 04:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• Do you mean at the bottom of the page? Could you show me exactly what you mean? As in, paste the code in here, with the nowiki tags :) Steve Crossin (talk) 04:29, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• No at the references at the bottom, but in the actual ref itself, i noticed that you did not place brackets around it, hence why you can see the whole URL code at the bottom in the reference section. If that is not clear, let me know. Tiptoety 04:32, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• Oh, that. Lol. I know exactly what you mean now. I've fixed that :) Thanks.Steve Crossin (talk) 04:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• I have a question, I'm a little concerned. Currently, in the article, I'm removing the description next to each character, as I believe they are unnecessary, as it's really just a basic list. Can you look at the edit summaries and tell me if I should keep each characters descriptions? I just think they are unnecessary. Steve Crossin (talk) 05:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• I do not see any issue with it. Though I would recommend that you leave a not on the talk page of the article stating what you are doing and why, that way other editors who watch that page can give their thoughts on it as well. Tiptoety 05:42, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

RE:Rollback

Hi there, thanks for pointing that out. I've actually had rollback for some time, but it was recently removed (I haven't bothered to update my userspace as hopefully it will be back soon :-). The comment from Ral315 was the result of a request for the situation to be reviewed on IRC. I've actually been looking for someone else to review the reasons and such (all on AzaToth's talk page) - I'm sure AzaToth will reinstate it when they get back online, it's just a pain doing it the TW way in the mean time. Cheers, Pumpmeup 06:01, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

So I guess that's a no for giving it back - I don't think I'll bother to remove it (it involves messing with my userspace I finally got just nice) - several admins have said they will give it back in the near future anyway :-). Cheers, Pumpmeup 06:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Sweet as. I won't be removing I can display the box on my userpage even if I never have it. Thanks for your understanding :-) --Pumpmeup 06:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
