Major League Rugby

Hi SounderBruce, in saying 'league uses "grand" in title' when editing here, could you please explain where this came from (to clarify what you mean)? Thanks, -- Ham105 (talk) 18:57, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

@Ham105: Seems I was mistaken when I created the article. I don't see a set name from the league or secondary sources, other than the rather generic "championship" (which refers to the entire playoffs). SounderBruce 19:14, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

@SounderBruce: OK, thanks. The term "grand final" is commonly used in Australia, where I'm located, although around the world in general it's not used so much. The simpler "final" is preferred – see 2017 Super Rugby Final or 2018 FIFA World Cup Final, as examples. The two terms nowadays describe much the same concept, although a century ago the description Grand Final was usually reserved for when a right of challenge was exercised. But I digress. Anyway, in my view, "2018 Major League Rugby Final" would be a better fit for the name of the page. Thoughts? -- Ham105 (talk) 20:29, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Please help me understand

Please help me understand why you estimated this edit as not constructive? Before 2018 France had won a "single" world cup, which is more informative than "last". I'd like to AGF for your revert so please help. --5ko (talk) 18:27, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

@5ko: Oops. I assumed from the edit summary that this was a troll edit in the post-match section (e.g. this being France's "last and only" one), given that vandalism will inevitably strike the article for a while. Apologies. SounderBruce 18:29, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Whatcom Transit wiki. page

Dear Sounder Bruce,

You reverted my recent edits to the WTA (Whatcom Transit Authority), because you said the information that I had provided was not constructive. The information I provided gave more information that was correct about the different buses in the fleet, which seems constructive. Also the version you reverted it to was from 2013, while the version that was on was the most current fleet as of July 2018. If you want to remove my edits please have a solid reason, but please sort change the correct info to out dated information.

Seattle demonyms

Hi Bruce,

You reverted my addition of two additional demonyms for residents of Seattle. The information comes from Labels for Locals, by Paul Dickson. He lists Seattleite as the main demonym, but gives Seattlites and Seattlers as variants, with citation of sources. So I didn't do original research, I used a reliable source. I can go into Wikidata and add the two variants with sources. There's also now a Wikidata page for Seattleites: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q55779668

Adam Schiff University of Washington Libraries — Preceding unsigned comment added by UWashCataloging (talk • contribs) 02:04, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

@UWashCataloging: Thanks for the information. You'll need to directly cite the information using an appropriate citation template (e.g. {{cite book}}). I'd hazard against putting it in the infobox, which is reserved for a summary of the article as a whole and should have only one demonym to reduce reader confusion. The Nicknames section would be the most appropriate place to add alternate demonyms. But from what I can see, Dickson's book is based on what the national media uses in various reports, and only cites "Seattler" to a 1959 piece in Newsweek. The archives of the Seattle Times seems to have only used Seattler a few times, mostly in the 1950s, and Seattlite only 100 times (mostly in quotes); Seattleite is by far the most common term.

Also, linking directly to Wikidata items can be done with Q, but should be done only in certain situations. SounderBruce 04:51, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

question about edits and sources

Thanks for the feedback. This news release by the Seattle Times says specifically that the machine "overheated and stalled" Just trying to clear up what actually happened. Whether the pipe is the cause is still under court review.

Also, there is no source to support that the cutterhead was damaged when it was lifted up, all of the sources cite the seal assembly being damaged.

Idaho State Highway 41

I noticed you reverted my edit on the southern terminus of State Highway 41. Seltice Way is technically the southern end of the highway, and is part of the I-90 / Highway 41 interchange (You have to travel along Seltice Way traveling from eastbound I-90 to northbound Highway 41. Moreover, The eastbound on-ramp from southbound Highway 41 shares the same intersection as Highway 41 / Seltice Way). If it cannot be listed as the same junction in the infobox, the southern end should be Seltice Way, and Interstate 90 should just be a junction. Howpper (talk) 23:56, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Edit: Please correct me if I'm wrong. Howpper (talk) 00:00, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

@Howpper: Infoboxes are supposed to summarize the basic details of a subject, not necessarily to total accuracy. Seltice Way is part of the I-90 interchange, but cannot be considered the true terminus based on common sense (ITD does not usually have routes ending at random city streets). I will also be reverting your edits at US 195, as it's not common sense to list junctions with a highway that was decommissioned over 60 years ago. SounderBruce 02:58, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Not a timetable

Undid your edit on MAX Blue Line. Travel time was not meant to serve as a timetable, it serves as distance measurement. The information was not even acquired from timetables. They are not subject to sporadic change and are permanent on the official MAX map. --Truflip99 (talk) 03:47, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

@Truflip99: It's unclear and confusing to readers what the travel time represents, as it's overlaying across a lot of stations; one might interpret this as applying to all stations under the umbrella. The other half of my edit (breaking up the large blanks in the table) are also part of MOS and should be restored; the table should also be made sortable, as there's multiple sortkeys (sequence, opening dates, parking lot sizes, and station names in alphabetical order). SounderBruce 03:54, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Okay, followed MOS. Removed Travel Time too. Not sure about making it sortable. --Truflip99 (talk) 06:51, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Besides being dangerously close to being a case of WP:Bite the newbies WP:BITE, if you feel that "Streetcar stops are generally not notable", then you need to prune Category:Muni Metro stations. Useddenim (talk) 11:58, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

@Useddenim: Newbie or not, creating permastubs on what amounts to a bus stop-like landmark is not permitted under the notability guidelines. There's been discussions about deleting the Muni Metro stops (and only keeping the actual LRT-like stations), and plenty of other North American systems do not have individual articles about stops (Toronto, Seattle, Portland, New Orleans, Kansas City). The only exception seems to be Detroit (which should be reconsidered) and this one Milwaukee stop. SounderBruce 22:10, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Apologies for being unclear. I was questioning “Why this one article?”, not objecting to the WP:PROD per se. Other than with Cleveland’s HealthLine (Adelbert Road, Cornell Road and a few “East nth Street” pages), there’s been no progress in eliminating these non-notable stubs.

Washington State Turnpike

I am affiliated with WashDOT, and therefore I can confirm that the Washington State Turnpike is indeed a proposal. However, the reason why no public sources have discussed it yet is because the proposal was just released to the public last week, and the immediate positive/negative criticism came directly to WashDOT board of communications from high-level residents. 24.34.85.169 (talk) 13:25, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

A note for future interesting expansion. Lots of bicyclists plan trips to follow prevailing winds, so as to have a tailwind vice headwind. I think this is discussed in Bicycling the Pacific Coast especially because the wind changes reliably depending on season.

WikiCup 2018 September newsletter

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:

• Courcelles scored a magnificent 4869 points, with 92 good articles on Olympics-related themes. Courcelles' bonus points alone exceeded the total score of any of the other contestants!
• Kees08 was second with 1155 points, including a high-scoring featured article for Neil Armstrong, two good topics and some Olympics-related good articles.
• Cas Liber, with 1066 points, was in third place this round, with two featured articles and a good article, all on natural history topics.
• Other contestants who qualified for the final round were Nova Crystallis, Iazyges, SounderBruce, Kosack and Ceranthor.

During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

Comment

Hi! You removed text related to notable people who lived on Kalanianaole Hwy - Hawaii Route 72 here: but I have seen other Road / Street / Route articles that do have a section for "Notable Residents" such as Crick Road. Why would President Obama having lived on that street be considered trivia? Thanks. --the eloquent peasant (talk) 01:37, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

@Level C: A 700-foot-long road is different from a 18-mile highway/freeway that serves a major metropolitan area. Listing all the residents who have lived along or near a given highway would be unnecessary bloat (as covered under WP:TRIVIA) and, unless they have a particularly strong connection to the road, is just not interesting. Under the project standards for road articles, trivia should be integrated cleanly into the route description or history section, something that could be done with enough secondary sourcing to join the highway with Obama's early years.

MV Kitsap

I see no grounds for considering the current ferry as the primary topic, perhaps you could explain why you do? I would also direct your attention to WP:SHIPDAB. Lyndaship (talk) 07:32, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Considering that it's currently being used by commuters, there's a good chance it qualifies as the primary topic here. SounderBruce 07:40, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

On that basis of current use every current UK warship and many US warships would not be dabbed see USS George Washington (CVN-73) for just one example that they are. Your viewpoint is specifically countered by WP:PRIMARYTOPIC Perhaps the most commonly rejected criterion is that the primary topic should only belong to what "first comes to mind". Puget Sound commuters knowledge of one ship is not sufficient reason to vary Wikipedias conventions Lyndaship (talk) 08:17, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

One ship sank a half-century ago and was forgotten, while another continues to be used and referenced in local media. It's a little hard to do a search result comparison, as "Kitsap" is also the name of a county with several ferry routes, but it's pretty easy to see why almost no one would call the 1925 ship the primary topic here. SounderBruce 03:12, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

The correct primary topic would be a ship index page titled MV Kitsap. Lyndaship (talk) 14:38, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Captions

WP:CAP says that captions must be consise free of obvious details; saying the entire name of the building is pointless, when it was taken adds nothing as buildings do not changes and where it was taken is useless.

DYK nomination of Washington State Route 243

Hello! Your submission of Washington State Route 243 at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Kosack (talk) 09:17, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

DYK for U.S. Route 97 Alternate

On 27 October 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article U.S. Route 97 Alternate, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a section of U.S. Route 97 Alternate in central Washington state was rebuilt on higher ground in the 1950s to prevent inundation from a new hydroelectric dam? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, U.S. Route 97 Alternate), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

"Drive-by copyedits"

Did you notice [2] ? ☆ Bri (talk) 01:44, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

@Bri: I did, but frankly this copyeditor and a few others at GOCE aren't up to the task—especially when it comes to articles being prepared for a run at FAC. SounderBruce 01:48, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

I took a quick run at it but most of what I found were MOS fixes (particularly hyphenating compound modifiers, including with convert templates). I italicized the names of the tunnelling machines, following the convention with ships and named spacecraft and railroad locomotives. What may be of more help is that I've placed the request at its original request date at WP:GOCER so it's at the top of the list and shouldn't wait long for a copy editor who does more FA-level work. Sorry for any inconvenience. – Reidgreg (talk) 16:21, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

@Reidgreg: Thanks for the comb-through, but I'll have to undo a few of them—mainly the hyphened form of "light rail". In official and informal uses locally, it is not hyphenated; most of the hyphenated that were added to the article are pretty unnecessary and aren't exactly preached by MOS. SounderBruce 16:26, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

WP:VOLUNTEER. Why, then, do you bother requesting copyedits? You should have raised any issues with the copyeditor; after reading the above, I wouldn't accept a request from you. Miniapolis 15:03, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

@Miniapolis: Just because this is a volunteer-run effort, it doesn't have to be done quickly and sloppily for meaningless internet points (or in this case, points that are redeemed for a barnstar). GOCE is normally good at catching typos, grammar issues, and other small things that get overlooked in the GAN process, but the copyeditor in question completely ignored MOS and normal conventions to add their own bias towards hyphened phrases into the article. That is something I absolutely cannot stand and would hope gets corrected. SounderBruce 03:50, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Just sayin'. If you want your articles to be promoted, it's prudent to not antagonize the editors who help you get there. Miniapolis 22:57, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Capitol Hill Station

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Capitol Hill station has been completed.

In the "Background and planning" section, in the last paragraph, there are wikilinks around the name Husky Stadium station. This link actually takes the reader to University of Washington station. Perhaps it is known informally as "Husky Stadium station", but apart from a mention that the U of W station is adjacent to the stadium, there is no indication it is called this. I'll leave that to you to resolve.

Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns.

Good luck with the FA review.
