  Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Mind Bender (Six Flags Over Georgia), have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you to seek consensus for certain edits. Thank you. McDoobAU93 00:31, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

-I'm currently linking roller coasters designated as terrain roller coasters to the new page i am working on, terrain roller coaster. While mind bender isn't as terrainish a roller coaster as say, Phantom's Revenge or The Beast, Having ridden it, i would consider it a terrain roller coaster. I have noticed in general, how ever the rolelr coaster side bar works (which I do not completely understand, being a fairly lay person editor), it seems in general roller coasters are designated as terrain either under track layout or model. Seeing how a terrain roller coaster is going to be almost always custom built to the unique well, terrain it sits on, I feel that this designation implies that the roller coaster is a custom design. Thoughts? Imascrabblefreak (talk) 00:43, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

First of all, thank you for replying to my note. It's obvious you mean well, so I'll be glad to offer some advice. In the case of the infoboxes, just because a field is present doesn't mean it absolutely has to be populated. Conversely, just because a given article's infobox doesn't show the field doesn't mean what you are looking for doesn't exist. The infobox's page has a lot of information, and actually recommends the "track" field as the one to use for specific roller coaster types, such as terrain (which indeed is a notable characteristic that should be in the infobox). And yes, Mind Bender most certainly is a terrain roller coaster (just rode it again maybe 6 hours ago). The "model" field is intended for a carbon-copy production ride, such as a Boomerang or even a Batman The Ride clone, although it also could be used to reflect a custom design. A lot of this keys back to RCDB, so see how something is listed there, as well.
My concern with the note is that you were making wholesale changes to a number of coaster articles before discussing them on their respective pages in order to build consensus for them. Again, I don't doubt your intentions, but there are better ways to handle things, and I think you're now on the right track. Feel free to msg me anytime and I'll help however I can.
--McDoobAU93 01:22, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Ok, thanks. Most of the changes i am making are mirely (meerly? merely? I never know how that word is spelled) linking the existing word terrain. I understand the whole sweeping change thing. I guess I'm just operating under the "be bold" motto right now. I don't mean to patronize, but I wouldn't consider my recent edits "sweeping changes". Ok, i understand the model thing now, and may even go back and find some of the coasters that had terrain in the model information and switch it back. I agree that not everything has to be filled in, for example, rcdb lists Iron dragon at Cedar point as terrain, but I would consider it one of the least terrain-y suspended coasters out there and didn't catagorize it as such. I know this is definately in the "pet project" stages right now, and completely understand. Frankly, I'm just suprised how no terrain roller coaster page existed yet. I'll continue to work on it, though I'm not entirely sure how else to expand it; indeed, while I believe it to be a legitamit topic for a wikipedia page, I don't think said page would or should ever be that long, there simply isn't much to say on the topic. A history of terrain coasters might be interesting, but would require some deep digging for information, which I'm not doing right now. ok, I've talked enough.

Speedy deletion nomination of Vincent Biagiotti

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Vincent Biagiotti requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the importance of the subject,  . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

LA to FA 2022

LA to FA 2022
 

Dear Imascrabblefreak,

You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here!
