Revision as of 15:08, 5 April 2009

New Jersey Route 158

Please clarify the following statement in the article:

The upper-level was to have a clearance of 18 feet (5.5 m) and there was to be a 230 feet (70 m) long drawbridge in the center. The upper level was to be used by the new passenger line and the lower level was to be used for the freight line of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

It seems to me that the drawbridge was in the lower level (that suggests a statement in the following paragraph of the article). How does the clearance fit in; that is it the clearance between the river and the upper deck seems unbelievable – there would not be place for the lower deck. Is it the clearance between the two decks or the clearance between the river and the lower deck? --Matthiasb (talk) 16:12, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey

Things are ok. Just been really busy in the heart of tax season. You know who has had a good couple months, but it's always day to day there. Why aren't things good on your end? Wiki drama? Hope it works out. I'll get posting some pictures again soon too. --Airtuna08 (talk) 17:54, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:2 things I wanted to tell you

Thanks for bringing those issues to my attention. I will continue to refrain to do GA reviews for the time being. As for the NJSCR articles, I will try to find other sources. I can add citations to the state statutes and can try adding historical information from maps. I have a couple of maps of NJ from circa 1970 but unfortunately do not have an extensive collection of old NJ maps. If you or anyone else on Misplaced Pages has access to old maps, it would be helpful to use the information from the maps as a source for the articles. Dough4872 (talk) 15:30, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

My remissness (is that a word?)

I am so sorry...I never even saw the January message (don't ask me how I missed it). Road pictures was not something I was gonna do in snow and slush, and last Fall I was finishing my Masters, so other stuff got in the way. But Spring has finally sprung in Syracuse (the crocuses are a-blooming), and I don't have to watch basketball any more this season  :(.....so, I will definitely get out there and get them! I'm actually in FL for a few days right now, so it won't be before next weekend at the earliest, and you know how iffy weather can be in Syracuse, even in the spring! You still need the St. Joes pic, too, right? I literally live 1/2 mile from there......again I'm so sorry...that one I have no excuses for not getting! Lvklock (talk) 13:50, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Delivered for the WikiCup by  GARDEN  at 20:43, 31 March 2009 (UTC). Queries to my talk.

Portal:Finger Lakes

I made some changes to Portal:Finger Lakes/DYK, changed the max per set from 3 hooks to only 2. This increased our total number of completed sets from 7 to 11, and we only need one more hook for 12 completed sets of 2 hooks each. (Makes for more dynamism in portals that don't have as many hooks due to narrower topics, I did this recently at Portal:Gilbert and Sullivan as well.) I will probably work on creating an article for that 12th hook soon, and then we are probably all ready to go for a portal peer review. Will keep you posted, Cirt (talk) 22:59, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Some information is included below about how to raise an article to B-class This is an article written about the Misplaced Pages assessment process Misplaced Pages Article Quality Assessment and Ranking Tips for Users and Search Engine Engineers. The video game wikiproject reviewed what enabled a topic to be classified and ranked as important within the scope of their wikiproject and was reviewed in their Newsletter For B-class articles the pre-requisites have been posted also at a few wikiprojects for the minimums required for B-class before advancing on to GA. Some wikiprojects offering B class outlines are Military History FAQ, Ships WP FAQ and WP UK roads The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects. The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class. A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

I've blocked you for disruption to the project. Meanwhile, if you need help, please ask. Gwen Gale (talk) 14:48, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I asked nicely to desysop or block me peacefully, not to totally flip out. I guess I deserve it then.Mitchazenia :  Chat  Trained for the pen 14:51, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

We cannot desysop you. Try m:Steward requests/Permissions. —Wknight94 (talk) 14:56, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I understand that. I am just saying that I wanted a discussion of peacefulness. Maybe I was a little too serious on the header, but I wanted people to understand what was wrong here.Mitchazenia :  Chat  Trained for the pen 14:59, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

It is already done. He's been emergency desysopped.--Scott Mac (Doc) 14:58, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Mate. Go have a shower and then (presuming you're old enough) have a beer. Then get offline and stay offline for a week. Have you considered the merits of a playstation. Seriously, there's more to life than wikipedia - don't hang about to watch the car wreck - go and stay gone. (I wish I would.)--Scott Mac (Doc) 15:06, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I am 18, can't  :| - the problem is I said things calmly. I am sorry for the header on the post. I am just really upset, and I wanted changed calmly. I guess I wrote the header too literally.Mitchazenia :  Chat  Trained for the pen 15:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
