Deletion and undeletion

Deleted pages still show up as redlinks to an administrator, but when they visit a page which once existed and no longer does, it will look like this

(This is an article that was deleted, but images appear roughly the same way.) The number indicates how many edits were in the page's history before it was deleted. Clicking the "7312 deleted edits" link brings the admin to a page which looks a lot like a history page, except each entry has a check box next to it. There, the admin can view all revisions of the page (or file) that were deleted. They can also check the boxes next to some (or all) of the entries and undelete them. Things are sometimes deleted by mistake, and sometimes WP:DRV says that an admin closed an AFD wrong and the page needs to be undeleted. Only oversighters can permanently remove things, I think. —Scott5114↗ 06:59, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Yea I get it now. Sometimes on AFD I saw adins mistakingly delete stuff when is close be kept. Person who delete just looks at how many people vote. if 0 keeps 2 delete, usually admins just delete.--Freewayguy 16:17, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Payments of contributions

These 18 people are the only ones who get paid, and it's only because they do stuff like maintain the servers and provide legal counsel for the Foundation. Nobody gets paid by the Wikimedia Foundation for merely editing. The Foundation is a charity. Money is only collected through donations; what money they do have has to go towards keeping the servers running, not paying people. Misplaced Pages is a very popular website so the servers need to be very fast and durable. They also need to make sure that there's enough storage space for the huge number of articles and files (Misplaced Pages has 6,943,158 articles right now, and Commons has 3,000,000 files, and that's not counting stuff that has been deleted. I think the Foundation has to buy a lot of hard drives. —Scott5114↗ 21:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

• • I know nobody get paid by just contributing. I wish I get paid by lesson plan, and completing task on talkpage. This sucks because I wish I get paid everytime I complete the task someone wants me to do, this also helps me keep up my lesson plan.--Freewayguy 23:08, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

DR issues on Commons

Why people say Siebrand was very nice to only post 3 month block on Commons? I was jsut upset because I had 2 images taking forever to delete process, the final answer is one of them was delete, one of them is delete, but the other one is kept because it contains no delete votes besides mine. Was this because I've contribute constructively here, because you blue background my unblock urgent on Commons as decline.--Freewayguy 02:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to review the DRs, but given this and others like it, count yourself very lucky with only a 3 month block! This has all been explained to you before.  — Mike.lifeguard |  03:45, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

• • This blue link you gave me is only for lists of admin page. I will start to be contructive after the block is gone. I know if not I will have longer block. I think I only have another 7 days left. Due to backlog even on top of DR in pink, alot in June is not process yet. Commons stuff is alooot slower than here. Nobody is on Wiki 24-7 anyways. We all need to eat and sleep,even if we awake, sometimes we have other plans. I wish somebody will be on Wiki at least 10 hours a day.--Freewayguy 14:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Special:BlockIP is the page admins use to block users; you cannot access it unless you are an admin. I mean to say that if you behave as you have in the past on Commons you will be blocked again, possibly indefinitely.  — Mike.lifeguard |  03:36, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Pluto's core

Nobody knows is the short answer. However, it is unlikely to be >1000 degrees C, simply because there is no conceivable method by which Pluto could maintain such a temperature. There has been speculation that Pluto's interior may still be warm enough for water to be liquid though. Serendious 18:34, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

most planets and moons seems to have hot cores. Most of them exceeds 1000 Celsius, Jupiter's core is like 3000 C +; hotter than the surface of the sun. I bet Mercury's core is hot too. Its core covers like 70% of whole planet's volume and its made of iron or nickel. Mercury does not have a natural atmosphere this is why its sky is always black, most of the atmos is fake, ex. of sodium.--Freewayguy 21:34, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Planet's sky colours

You'd be better off asking an astronomer these questions. I'm just an interested amateur. Pluto is too small to have a core of such temperature. As regards extraterrestrial skies, I have no idea if Jupiter's sky is blue at highest levels (it obviously darkens at lower levels). Pluto's atmosphere is probably very much like Triton's, so it is likely to be essentially dark but perhaps scattered with wispy clouds lit by the Sun. Serendious 21:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

• I use to be fascinate with astronomy, and I found solar ssytem amusing. Jupiter and Saturn I seem to have alot of sky colors, at top level seems to be blue. Uranus and Neptune's sky color seems like deep blue or deep turquoise. Those planets do not have solid surface, so their sky color is at least 5 levels. Anyways.--Freewayguy 21:52, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Exit lists

Let's just leave the exit lists alone. We may have duplicates, but at least a continuous exit list will tell the reader all the junctions. If you want to look up all the junctions for I-5 in California, look up Interstate 5 in California. If you want to look up all the intersections for Santa Ana Freeway, look up that article; it has all the junctions listed on I-5 and US 101. On the other hand, if the reader were to jump around the exit lists and looked up Santa Ana Freeway for all the junctions for I-5, they may mistaken the last few and believe that the last few junctions on Santa Ana Freeway are part of I-5 when they are really part of US 101. I know it's hard to say, but do you follow this message here? Splat5572 (talk) 21:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I live in somewhere in Orange County for truth Splat5572, and my dad does not work in California. Let's just say he works in Delaware, and pretend he works in Delaware, and he's 72 years old, and I have 2 older sister, they are 24 and 26, and they live in Boston.--Freewayguy 18:33, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

• Splat5572 lets just say I live in San Juan Capistrano, and pretend I live in San Juan Capistrano, and my mom works in North Oceanside, and she is 69 years old.--Freewayguy 00:26, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

August 2008

I blocked you for edit warring at Interstate 5 in California, U.S. Route 101 in California, and Interstate 80 in California. Oren0 (talk) 03:19, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Adams Avenue Parkway for Peer Review

Please comment at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Highways/Peer review/Adams Avenue Parkway if possible. Thanks! --Admrb♉ltz (t • c • log) 07:51, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

What is this for. I don't edit much on Utah Highways and I live in Orange County, California. My dad does not work in California, this is why I edit like crazy he's gone to work.--Freewayguy 18:18, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Solar System

I noticed your edit, and would like your contribution to the talk page on Talk:Solar_System#New_List. -HarryAlffa (talk) 21:51, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

I used to be interested in astronomy, and solar system. I still know alot about astronomy, but now I seemed to stepped down from astronomy, and start up with roads and highways.--Freewayguy 16:57, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
