"Ah Meester, I've been expecting you"

Misplaced Pages is no place for humour. Everything is very serious here and we are all terrifically important.

Londom 1960s

This DYK nom needs a ref fix. PumpkinSky talk 01:36, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Grand Turk Lighthouse, Turks & Caicos National Museum

Your nomination Template:Did you know nominations/Grand Turk Lighthouse, Turks & Caicos National Museum seems fine apart from a QPQ review which I presume is still needed.— Rod 11:03, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Chicago in the 1930s

Why did you create Chicago in the 1930s? Shouldn't it just be a part of History of Chicago? Have you seen this done for other cities?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:10, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Why? Because it's a very important era for the city. Rather regret letting you know now...♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 14:53, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

June 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Guthrie Govan may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• an area others find difficult and submitted the most technically difficult piece he could think of (a sample transcription (of a ] piece) to '']''

Library in LV

Just saw your note about the library in LV. Don't know why I missed it earlier. Libraries are open here 7 days/wk. Love going there and just sitting in a big chair reading a book I'm about to check out. --Rosiestep (talk) 05:30, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Opium production in Burma

On 17 June 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Opium production in Burma, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that despite a crackdown on illegal narcotics, as of 2012, some 300,000 households are still involved in opium production (opium field pictured) in Burma? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Opium production in Burma. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Dog and Duck

I have just done enough work on the Dog and Duck (tavern) to get a place in the DYK queue. I have put you down as co-author so you may want to take a fresh look. I've found a good source and a nice image but don't have time to do much more today. Getting the QPQ done is the next chore... Warden (talk) 09:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Done, thanks!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 10:07, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Many thanks for taking care of that. More anon. Warden (talk) 10:09, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Fishing industry in Denmark

On 18 June 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Fishing industry in Denmark, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the North Sea and Skagen account for 80% of the catches of the fishing industry in Denmark? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fishing industry in Denmark. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Proposed deletion of Amelia's Incline

The article Amelia's Incline has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable. It is mentioned in a 1957 article (The Eley source is a 14 page article from 1957, not a full book). And, well, that's it. A forum post on wehrmacht-awards.com mentions it, but that doesn't count towards notability. No idea why this has been assessed as mid-importance for Gibraltar, it has no importance whatsoever, it is not some major road or train tunnel. Not everything that exists should get its own article.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. Fram (talk) 12:29, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

I agree, but why the prod and talk page drill? Why not just ask for me to delete it?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 14:31, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

I mistakenly didn't expect a favourable reply. My mistake. Can you cast a glance across some of the other roads and tunnels? Some of them seem to be having similar problems. Things like Ball Alley System, Brewery Chambers, Brewery Tunnel, Little Bay Tunnel have at first glance the same problems, while e.g. Turnbull's Lane, Bishop Caruana Road, Boyd Street, and Buena Vista Road, Gibraltar are a little bit better but still doesn't convey any sense of notability. No need to suddenly delete them all if you feel that they (or some of them) have more notability than what is there now, or if you want to check them more thoroughly. Fram (talk) 14:47, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

If they can't be expanded, and you're certain they're not notable, I'll trust your judgement in deleting them. I'm pretty busy today but feel free to delete as "author requested deletion". If you delete any which could be reasonably expanded the loss will be minimal anyway as they've yet to be expanded.. ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 14:49, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll take a second look at them to make sure that they aren't obviously notable, and for any of them, feel free to ask for restoration if you (or anyone else) wants them back. If I'm not available, you can use this post to convince any other admin to undelete them if necessary without bothering to check with me first. Fram (talk) 14:54, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Little Bay Tunnel had one further mention in a reliable source (The Royal Engineers Journal volume 77), the other tunnels had no further mentions at all (as far as I could check of course, they are probably mentioned once or twice in more local or specialized sources). I have accordingly deleted them. I'll check the roads now. Fram (talk) 15:01, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Boyd Street was only noted as the location of Queen's Hotel (which has its own article), Bishop Caruana Road has some local mentions of its very recent construction, and Turnbull's Lane had no obvious notability either. Buena Vista Road seemed at first glance to have a bit more notability, so I left that one alone. Fram (talk) 15:15, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

That's fine. Thanks.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 18:33, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
