Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC Sunday March 21

Hi, just saw your good work at U Thant Island. That was actually the first article I ever started here back in 2004 :) I'd like to invite you to join us at our Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC event at Columbia on Sunday March 21. We have a pretty good group of people interested in transportation, actually.--Pharos (talk) 04:12, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:32, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

For your help w/the formatting of the mosque article. Are you using s script? I use refserv, but it has issues ... Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:14, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

No, I manually formatted references on the Cordoba House article. You can refer to Category:Citation templates for templates.Transpoman (talk) 01:19, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

I use refserv for a script, but it has its limitations. For example, it has been dating (until I catch it) many of the articles on that page September 11, 2001. Kudos for you for doing all that manual work -- you're really polishing the refs nicely.--Epeefleche (talk) 15:22, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Date format in cite

Hi. I wish we could use YYYY-MM-DD all over the place, but there tend to be people who object to this. This format used to be in much bigger use on WP, but they changed the rules. Just be aware in case someone changes the cite you modified back. - Denimadept (talk) 00:02, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

The accessdate for every other reference on Hell Gate Bridge was in YYYY-MM-DD format. Cite news says the accessdate should be in the same format as the rest of the article.Transpoman (talk) 02:49, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Patchogue Station 1963 rebuilding

I suggest you take a look at this plaque. ----DanTD (talk) 13:43, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

That plaque is for "Station Plaza" and looks like it is associated with the roadway improvements, not the station building itself.Transpoman (talk) 14:54, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Okay, but that was taken inside the station. ----DanTD (talk) 14:59, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Added coordinates

Good going. In the past few weeks you've done, what, the majority of articles that were in Category:New York City articles missing geocoordinate data and some more distant suburbs? And all, far as I can see, are spot on, unlike mine that are occasionally off by a fathom or a block or three. Jim.henderson (talk) 09:08, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! The GeoLocator is an easy way to add coordinates and you can copy and paste the tags on the left directly into Wikipedia. Previously I was using Google Earth and that took a lot longer. The 1924 and 1951 aerial photos in the NYCityMap are also helpful in finding the locations of things that no longer exist.Transpoman (talk) 00:37, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Lovely. I less often geotag articles anymore, unless they have a bad location. Mostly I only find time to tag photos. My own, I adjust the camera's geotag before uploading as discussed in Commons:User:Jim.henderson#Geotagging. Umm, I should update that a bit. What's already on the Web site, I tag with the click-and-paste Google Earth add-on as described in that link. I noticed that you give every location down to a hundredth of an arcsecond, presumably because that's what Geolocator gives. That's appropriate for things the size of people but seems kinda odd for a neighborhood or a building. Anyway, what you're doing is not only good in general, but when it shows on Google Maps for Android Phone it helps me pedal my bike to the correct location to photograph it. Much fun in lovely weather. Jim.henderson (talk) 14:25, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey Transpoman. Thanks for adding coords to the Knowlesville Lift Bridge. I can't quite get the wikipedia coordinate system to work for me. Could you add the coords to my other article: Selkirk Lift Bridge? Its coordinates are N 50º 08.358´ latitude and W 96º 51.942´ longitude. Thanks.

Question

Hi there, thanks for taking interest in improving the draft i started on Aldrich something building in Buffalo. I understand, agree that splitting author name into first vs last is an improvement, tho I haven't often made that effort. I dunno, maybe i should, u give me pause. But hey, I don't understand the benefit of switching "publisher=" to "work=". Does that even change appearance (i am not sure)? And in the case of news articles published in a given newspaper, isn't "publisher" accurate? I am not sure what "work" means, does it mean the article us a work of the author or that it is a work of the newspaper? I am honestly curious on your reasoning here. Please ping me if reply. Either way, thanks for contributing! Cheers, --Doncram (talk) 21:18, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

The first and last parameters put the author name into the "Last Name, First Name" format. You also do this by entering the name in this format in the author parameter. The work, newspaper, or magazine parameter is used for the name of the periodical, which is displayed in italics. The publisher parameter isn't used for the name of the work. You can read more about these parameters on Template:Cite news.

Map of a tunnel

Hi Transpoman,

I saw at Talk:East Side Trolley Tunnel a request for a map of the two portals. I added their coordinates to the infobox and a map with their two locations marked. Do you know if there is a way to generate a map of the route of a tunnel? Luckily I think this one is nearly a straight line. DMacks (talk) 19:13, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure if there is a way to do this. You could try looking at articles for other tunnels to see what has been done in terms of maps. In any event, I removed the map request from the Talk page since this is no longer needed. Thanks!Transpoman (talk) 11:11, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @DMacks, I think you can check OpenStreetMap and see if the tunnel is mapped there. If it is, you may use the instructions at Wikipedia:Creating route maps from OpenStreetMap data to export the data to Commons, then add the map to the page using {{maplink}}. (You could also connect the OpenStreetMap item for the tunnel to the Wikidata item for the tunnel, but that takes far longer to update.)

Or I guess you could use a website/program like geojson.io and create your own map of the tunnel from there. – Epicgenius (talk) 23:32, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Skilak Lake map request

I could for sure identify Skilak Lake on a map, but I don't know much of anything about how to actually -make- a map showing it. How do we proceed? Beeblebrox (talk) 04:46, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

The page even already appears to have a map. In the infobox is a map of Alaska, with a red pushpin at the location of the approximate middle of the lake, thanks to the magic of the infobox. DMacks (talk) 05:17, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

I was performing maintenance on Category:Wikipedia requested maps and adding locations to prior requests - the main category is supposed to be empty but there were several hundreds of pages that were listed in there because they had not been subcategorized by regional location. It looks additional maintenance work may also be needed on Category:Wikipedia requested maps to remove the map request template from other Talk pages in instances where maps have since been included on the article page but the original map request on the Talk page was not deleted.

It seems like infoboxes can be used to automatically generate maps once coordinates have been entered. I removed the map request from the Skilak Lake article since a map is no longer needed. Thanks for noticing this. I did see some instances of map requests on other pages asking for more information besides a dot on a map, such as Talk:Ocala National Forest which asks for a map showing the borders of the forest, but this wasn't the case in the map request for Skilak Lake.Transpoman (talk) 11:40, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you

Hello Transpoman, Thank you for improving so many of the hot springs articles by adding additional specificity to the photo requests. Cheers, Netherzone (talk) 07:12, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Adding specificity

What is the point of adding additional specificity to photo requests? I'm looking at Talk:Quigley Catholic High School. The only visible difference that your change makes is that it no longer mentions the category Wikipedians in Pennsylvania. Wasn't it a good idea to mention that category? Bruce leverett (talk) 17:24, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

I added the county to the photo request template, which moved the Talk page from Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Pennsylvania to Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. This makes it easier to find articles for which photos have been requested in that part of the state. Transpoman (talk) 18:12, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

I changed the image request template to a photo request template. Now the Category:Wikipedians in Pennsylvania is displaying again in the request on the Talk page. Transpoman (talk) 11:03, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
