Hi DudeWithAFeud! Thank you for your contributions here in Wikipedia. Anyway, I would like to inform you that I have removed the speedy deletion notice you add at the Rock Bottom (SpongeBob SquarePants) article. If you think that wasn't right, please open another deletion discussion at WP:AFD.

Also, regarding your speedy deletion noms, I learned that you wanted to delete the Extreme Spots article with a reason saying "a single episode of SpongeBob really wouldn't constitute encyclopedia-worthy material." So what do you think the criteria for a SpongeBob episode to have an article? That reason you presented was not right since it cited some important details about it like its plot, production details, releases and critical response from various media critics. Not to mention that the article you tagged is a Good article. Please refrain from doing such (but I'm not telling you to stop on tagging some article you think is deletion-worthy, just think about it). For further information about this concern, you can visit WP:CSD or WP:DEL. Thanks and have a nice day. Mediran (t • c) 10:17, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, roadfan! There is WP:WikiProject U.S. Roads (USRD) which already covers all state highways in every state and territory of the US.

Hey, there! Just so you know, when creating articles for highways in Louisiana, or anywhere else for that matter, try to avoid using the AARoads website as a source. AARoads is a self-published source and is not considered reliable. Also, since you haven't been using inline citations, it's kind of hard to tell what you're using AARoads to cite. TCN7JM 20:55, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK then. BTW I was using AARoads to find the length of the roads, as well as where they begin and end at. DudeWithAFeud (talk) 22:24, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A good map from LaDOTD or another source can be used for that. In the Wikipedia sense, we don't allow self-published sources (SPSs) other than some that meet certain exceptions. They aren't classified as "reliable sources", even if they're reliable to the general world, because there is no one exercising "editorial oversight". At a standard book publisher, someone fact-checks the manuscripts before printing. At a newspaper or magazine, editors review all of the articles before they're published. With a website like AARoads, there isn't a reputation for such activities, so we have to exclude it as a source we can use. Imzadi 1979 → 22:42, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay then. Thanks! DudeWithAFeud (talk) 22:43, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Current route lengths to two decimal places are available as part of La DOTD's GIS data which can be downloaded from their website. You just have to be careful to factor in any concurrencies, which are usually listed under the data for the lowest-numbered route only. Britinvasion64 (talk) 03:13, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's a good page you should look over at WP:USRD/NEW. It's out "New user orientation", and it covers the different parts of a good highway article along with other stuff related to the project.

Just looking over Louisiana Highway 156, one of the articles you recently created that I tagged for the project, I have the following suggestions to make.

1. Would it hurt if I asked that you tried to write a paragraph on each highway when you create the article? Ideally, a reader should get a bit more context than "Louisiana Highway 156 is a state highway in Goldonna, Louisiana, in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana." The infobox has different information, yet it should be a summary of the article. You could at least put the length of the road and the locations of the termini into that paragraph, so there's three sentences already, four if each terminus is listed separately.
2. We almost always write highway articles in the US in west-to-east or south-to-north order. There are exceptions and oddities, of course.
3. You can "pipe" a link to alter is displayed output using the pipe character, "|". For example, since Louisiana is mentioned at the start of the sentence, it gets repetitive and boring to repeat it twice more. You could type out [[Goldonna, Louisiana|Goldonna]] and the link will display as: Goldonna. (Note that with links containing a comma like that, the servers will automatically drop the content after the comma so [[Goldonna, Louisiana|]] would do the same thing.)
4. In the infobox, we use |direction_a= to indicate the cardinal direction of the |terminus_a= entry. So in other words, if this is an east–west highway, you can say add |direction_a=West to say it's the western terminus. Ditto |direction_b=East and |terminus_b=.
5. Also in the infobox, I would list locations for the junctions. Does it intersect LA 9 right in Goldonna? If so, say so! If you repeat a city in the infobox though, it only needs to be linked the first time.
6. Last one for today, but you should be citing your sources in these articles. We can help you learn how to do that, but the short primer is to list your source in between <ref> ... </ref> tags. Try to list as much information about your source (author, publisher, date/year it was published, date it was accessed if it's online) as you can. Put the ref tags for the footnote at the end of the sentence it is citing, and insert a References section with {{reflist}} toward the bottom of the article. Wherever {{reflist}} is located is where the server will insert the list of references.

Yeah, I know this is probably a bit to digest, but writing articles isn't easy. USRD as a project is focusing on improving the articles we have already, rather than pushing to create all of the missing redlinks. Sometimes, a one-sentence stub article is actually less useful to our reader than no article; at least without an article the reader will go looking elsewhere in their Google search for information. If they come to Wikipedia and get only a single sentence that doesn't answer their question, we've just wasted their time and frustrated them. Imzadi 1979 → 17:45, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find any source that lists where this highway is located. And pretty much the only way to accurately identify this is to look at the 30xx prefixed highways of every city that U.S. Route 90 follows (which would be enormously painstaking, considering the fact that Louisiana has hundreds of these highways).

I just saw this come up on the new articles list, and I have a comment to make. In the infobox, can you please start using |direction_a= and |direction_b= ? By inserting a direction into each, the infobox will say "South end:" instead of "From:" and "North end:" instead of "To:", or whichever is appropriate. Also, I'm not sure why you used {{south}} and {{north}} there. Are those the southern and northern terminus? Please help.

Additionally, I'm going to caution you and ask that you temper your enthusiasm. USRD has annual goals. This year, they are to improve the project's overall relative WikiWork to 4.4, to de-stub a total of 25 states and to clean up the articles related to Interstate and US Highways (WP:USRD#Goals). Each article you've created lately has been a single-paragraph stub, setting back the project goal. We're currently 574 articles classes away from hitting the 4.4 goal, but each new stub increases that total. Creating articles is a good thing, but systematically creating stubs and then leaving them in poor shape doesn't help the project. Imzadi 1979 → 23:01, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've been trying to expand them, Imzadi. And I used tl south to signify the terminus, correct. DudeWithAFeud (talk) 00:28, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but that's not how it should be done. This is what you should have done. Also, please indent your replies by starting them with a colon (:). If you need to indent more levels, use more colons (:: or ::: etc). Imzadi 1979 → 18:52, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Creeper. Glad to see my work paying off. DudeWithAFeud (talk) 01:26, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It would be better if you'd expand them beyond a single paragraph with an infobox. Ideally, a good highway article should have a section devoted to describing the route of that highway (the "Route description"), another that has the changes made over the years (the "History") and a third section with a MOS:RJL-compliant junction list table (the name varies based on state and freeway vs. non-freeway). Creating articles with a single paragraph lacking historical context doesn't help, so you work isn't "paying off" yet. There's nothing wrong with redlinks, but lots of stubby articles still means we have lots of work to do. Imzadi 1979 → 01:46, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, you need to work on your writing. We're going to need to translate that article into English so that others can make sense of the situation. Let's look at some of the sentences and point out the problems.

1. "The highway begins at LA 370, and continues east-west colliding with LA 13, where it is referred to as 'Branch Highway'."
   • Two highways do not collide; they intersect.
   • Which highway is referred to as "Branch Highway": LA 365 or LA 13?
2. "LA 1109 forms, LA 367 makes an intersection, and near Branch, it intersects with LA 35."
   • LA 1109 froms from what?
   • "makes an intersection" is just being wordy.
   • Which highway intersects with LA 35? Using it, like in the previous sentence is ambiguous when you have 4 possible subjects.
3. "LA 1101 is also formed during this course of events, as well as another intersection with LA 95."
   • I get that highways are linear objects, but they aren't a timeline. Please try to provide a spacial, not temporal, reference for the features along a subject roadway.
4. "The highway, now known as the Mary Alice Drive, creates LA 1098 and turns north-south as LA 761 is formed near Church Point."
   • LA 365 is a road, an inanimate object; it can't "create" another one. It can't form another road either.
5. "The highway meets its end at LA 98 later on south."
   • Which end" east or west?
   • Again, "later" is a time-based reference, not a distance- or geographic-based reference.

Dude, you're not helping USRD by creating articles of such low quality. Actually, you're making more work for other people. Eventually, someone is going to have to clean up and expand all of these articles. If they were left as redlinks, someone could start with a blank canvas. If I were at all interested in Louisiana highways (beyond my self-appointed task of tagging any new USRD articles for assessment), I would start by erasing everything you've written and writing it all over from scratch in a more coherent format. The infobox would need to be fixed to indicate which is the eastern and which is the western terminus since you never do that.

If you didn't get the message before, let me be very blunt: creating crappy stubs just to turn links from red to blue doesn't help. Please, please, please, work on your writing skills and go back to fix the mess you've been making. Imzadi 1979 → 00:44, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article One rotten apple spoils the bunch has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced, and appears to be original research; this seems to describe collective punishment.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia 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.

The article Tommy Carmichael has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. PKT(alk) 00:44, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Tommy Carmichael requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Hello, I'm Gtwfan52. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Bad Axe, Michigan, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Apparently you did not hear what Imzadi 1979 told you above. This is supposed to be a serious work, and all entries are supposed to be verifiable. How would you propose to verify your edit on a large number of "Wheat" pennies being in Bad Axe, and whatever would make you think storehouse was the best word to use to describe that large number? This isn't creative writing 101, this is an encyclopedia! Gtwfan52 (talk) 02:40, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Tobacco warning labels 2010.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 04:34, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[1]—it is against policy to call someone a moron in an edit summary. Wikipedia only works when people are civil to one another. Slinging insults creates a work environment nobody wants to be in (and, since this is a volunteer project, when people feel unwelcome, they can just leave, which hurts the project). I trust that you will not use such hostile language in the future. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 10:35, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry. I'll try not to act that way. But he was intentionally removing factual information without administrator authorization to perform such an action. DudeWithAFeud (talk) 10:53, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll grant you that he was going about things in an equally abrasive way (which he was warned for by another administrator). However, removal of content is often an appropriate editoral tool, especially when the information is uncited, as it was in this case. Therefore, you don't need admin approval to delete or revert out information (indeed, in the case of biographies of living people, removing uncited material is encouraged in some situations). In this particular instance, a better way to handle things would be to either reference the material (thus resolving his concerns) or have a calm discussion on the article talk page. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 01:02, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, there! I noticed your addition to the Work column at WP:USRD/P. I would just like to notify you that we are actually trying to merge away most of the Farm to Market Road articles into lists, and creating a bunch of stubs just to get rid of redlinks probably isn't the best idea because they'll most likely be merged into a list in the near future. List of Farm to Market Roads in Texas (1–99) is an example of the lists we are trying to create, though that list is still clearly unfinished. TCN7JM 02:48, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just declined 4 speedy delete nominations you made. In all four of them your rationale was that it was a blank page. all four of them were easily fixed by looking at the history and restoring the content that someone else blanked. When you come across a blank page you should always look at the history to see if there is any history. GB fan 00:28, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good so far. When adding references to the TxDOT designation files, make sure that you use the {{TxDOT}} template instead of just pasting in a bare URL. This makes it easier to find the page again (or a copy of it) if TxDOT moves or deletes it, since people know what the page's title and thus its likely content was. You can see how the template works by looking at the other usages of it on that page.

On a few of the entries, I just put a region like Texas Panhandle rather than listing out the counties, so as to cut down on the size of the infobox (on my monitor, the infoboxes are still bigger than the content in most cases). Four counties probably (barely) fits, but any more than that and it would be better to just note the general region of the state rather than try to convert them to list all the counties. Thanks for helping fill in the list with content! —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 18:55, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I am mostly studying 1847-1940 US stamps. Most examples of the 90c stamp in used are very faulty and are rare items.

Dear Dude with a Feud,

  In my opinion, you should remove the paragraph you added to the Postage Stamps and Postal History of the United States entry for several reasons:

1. Inaccuracy. The old stamps were not declared invalid in the Union beginning in May 1861 (It was only in the Confederacy--the Post Office of which began operations on May 1--that U. S. stamps were no longer considered valid.) In the northern states, no new stamps were even available until mid- August or later. 2. Redundancy. The subject of old-vs.-new stamps IS accurately treated in the beginning of the following section. Sincerely yours, BFolkman (talk) 12:54, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The NaCl structure motif is plastered across the chem pages because it is a very common structural motif. It is understandable that one would want to remove an image of NaCl structure standing in for BaS, but things all look nearly identical. Using the same images (i) saves time and (ii) reminds readers that certain simple stoichiometries usually crystallize in very standard motifs (NaCl, CdCl2, rutile, fluorite ...). So that is what is going on there. --Smokefoot (talk) 17:25, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is purely my personal opinion, not official WP policy or even a guideline—but personally, I would like to ask you to refrain from edits that do not affect the rendered text, such as this one that you made to U-matic. Such edits increase editor workload, particularly as regard to removed extra spaces, because such changes are very difficult to see in the differences view. The extra spaces do not affect the rendered text and need not be removed. Extra newlines are, similarly, almost never rendered, and can greatly confuse the "diffs" display (as you will see by comparing the diff above showing just your changes to this one, which shows the newline restored but with your other changes intact). Thank you for your consideration. Jeh (talk) 03:29, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I think this is covered by some guideline or other, but I can't offhand say what or where. In any case, though, Jeh is quite right: the change achieves no useful purpose whatever, and can sometimes cause a lot of waste of time and effort for an editor trying to figure out what an edit has done.

To echo the comment above this, edits like this one that you made, that do nothing but remove extra spaces, are not a good idea. For starters, many editors prefer to use two spaces at the end of sentences to make them visually easier to find in the edit window. Such a practice is harmless, because the HTML rendering engine ignores the double space and readers of the article never see any difference. Furthermore, changes such as yours just complicate the editing history of an article and make diffs between versions more time-consuming to go through. Finally, another way of looking this is that if removing extra spaces were a useful thing to do, Wikipedia would already have bots that do it. Humans should spend their efforts here doing more valuable things that the bots can't do. Thanks. Wasted Time R (talk) 01:26, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Tungsten W.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

If you are scouting for compounds that need pages, organosilicon compounds are a rich source. Things like triphenylsilane and diphenylsilane.

Since I am being so tough on your edits, I wanted to offer to help a little. So here are tips related to your proposed route to CHFClBr: 2 CH4 + F2 + Cl2 + Br2 → 2 CHFClBr + 3 H2

• Usually if one mixes several reagents (CH4 + F2 + Cl2 + Br2), one can expect a mess. Important exceptions exist, but for organic chemistry, it is a useful rule.
• Few organic synthetic reactions generate H2, period. Ironically, this statement conflicts with the weird fact that H2 is produced industrially mainly by water + methane. But the steam reforming reaction is conducted at pretty high temp.
• Instead, halogenation of saturated hydrocarbons cogenerate HX (X = F, Cl, Br). If you check the articles on chloromethane or carbon tetrachloride, you will see this reaction. Chemists think of HX as sort of a spent oxidant (X2) in the same way that we think of H2O as spent O2.

A tag has been placed on Freddie Hydrargyrum, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Adolf AIDSler, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Kolbasz (talk) 19:44, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This reversion you made is a bit extreme, to say the least. We've had issues with IP's adding fake movies for YEARS and they don't bother to read the edit summaries on reversions; a neutral talk page warning works much better and just rolling it back without comment usually works to discourage them more.

Hello DudeWithAFeud, just curious, what's the deal with your redirects "Monica Lewinsky's ex-husband's wife" (to Hillary Clinton) and "Mark Uterus" (to Mark Udall)? Adam Bishop (talk) 11:08, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for creating abusive redirects. I took a look at the deleted redirects mentioned above, one of them created on 23 October, the other as recently as 11 November. Unfortunately they weren't discovered until today (thank you for finding them and tagging them for deletion, User:Ivanvector), but that won't stop me from blocking you indefinitely. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bishonen | talk 18:57, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• If you choose to request unblock, you had better list any other such redirects, or other abuse, you have created on Wikipedia. If you leave something out and it's discovered later, you will have no chance of being allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Bishonen | talk 18:59, 18 November 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Request reason:

Okay, I admit it. I created Monica Lewinsky's ex-husband's wife and Mark Uterus. I also created the "Alabama used to be a racist piece of shit" article. The "State Sponsored Columbine" redirect was also one of my inventions, as well as the many redirects related to HIV/AIDS, such as "Super Duper AIDS", "Adolf AIDSler", "AIDSpocalypse", etc. At the time, they were meant to be harmless jokes. At no point were they specifically designed to offend anyone. In particular, the "State Sponsored Columbine" page was added over a year ago. I understand now that people can be offended at some of my jokes, and will never try this again. Constructive editing from now on. DudeWithAFeud (talk) 23:04, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You are just too funny for Wikipedia. Too many edits displaying an alarming lack of judgement and common sense regarding what is appropriate for an encyclopedia. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:25, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

• Alabama can handle a joke, but AIDS? What person in their right mind thinks AIDS is a valid topic for this kind of joke? Next admin please: this one bows out. Drmies (talk) 02:44, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• @IvanVector: Of course DWAF didn't create Rick Sanitarium (a redirect to Rick Santorum) or Booby Genital (a redirect to Bobby Jindal). (Note, I had some trouble finding the second, as it's misspelled above.[2]) His redirects have a political spin — he attacks prominent Democratic, not Republican, politicians. Excuse me, I mean he creates "jokes" about Democratic politicians. This political spin is another reason for not undoing my block, IMO. (And equally much if it had been the opposite political spin. Just sayin', to save people the trouble of posting "OMG liberal admin cabal" on this page. I'd be happy to block the creator of Booby Genital, except that it's three years old.) But if DWAF should show some awareness of the problems, I'm happy to defer to another admin — no need to contact me. Bishonen | talk 17:56, 19 November 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Well, thanks, I don't really follow American politics (see my sig) but was just offering a couple others that I saw at Rfd this week, you know, for patterns or whatever. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 20:31, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
