Thank you, -- DASHBot (talk) 05:02, 5 January 2011 (UTC) Replaceable fair use File:Goofy's_Sky_School_concept.jpg Thanks for uploading File:Goofy's_Sky_School_concept.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Then I noticed that WP:NC-TV sort of contradicts that, and that you'd already moved it once. In order to clear this up, I've brought it up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Manual of Style#Disambiguation of TV show titles - maybe you'd like to get involved.

Formula Rossa Un-editinghi there. I've noticed that you undid an edit which I made yesterday. My edit was based upon the reference used (RCD) having incorrect data re. the Formula Rossa track length. Both the Ferrari World and Intamin websites show a greater length than the RCD site, and the Wikipedia Formula Rossa page also reflects the greater length. I'm fresh to this site, and haven't figured out how to cite the new references. please explain your reasoning, thanks Ride and Show Guy (talk) 09:26, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:New_Texas_Giant_promo.jpgThanks for uploading or contributing to File:New_Texas_Giant_promo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Closedmouth (talk) 17:26, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:21, 23 February 2011 (UTC) Amusement Parks and Summer CampsA note to any Wiki Administrator: If you look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Amusement_parks_in_the_United_States_by_state you will find more defunct parks than active parks in many states. Since there is a category for defunct parks, and since it is a great waste of time for people looking for active parks to click on all the dead parks, I would like permission to move all inactive parks to the defunct category. This is also true for summer camps. Also, every state has a subcategory of waterparks, which creates redundant entries and rather ludicrous directories, like a state that has 2 parks, and a sub-category with only one waterpark. So, I would like to get permission to migrate all waterparks to the state level. Wiki commons has a single category of parks for all states, and that list is going to get huge, as North America has 65 combo parks, 34 large amusement parks, 237 waterparks (and hundreds of smaller aquatic centers and fun parks, which should not be in a Wiki anyway). So I would like to create a set of commons sub-categories for each state, identical to the wiki articles. With over 850 traditional summer camps (not including scouting, day camps and special needs camps) it gets confusing to have summer schools in the list. I would like to utilize the category for schools, and clean out the traditional camps directory. I am doing all of this in preparation for a massive 2011 update to the summer vacation wiki categories. Tons of photos will be uploaded, all CC3.0, and hundreds of Wikis created. After that I am going to walk on water and ascend to heaven.

User:Themeparkgc/Sandboxes/Template/docYou seemed to have blanked this page. Do you want this page deleted?-- CMOTalk, you must 06:36, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Amusement and Water Park CategoriesI am merging Amusement Parks and Waterparks to eliminate redundant listings and confusion. Many of the combination parks (150+ in the world) are split up, which confuses people about the park. Also, many parks are hybrids, since many waterparks are adding dry attractions, and many amusement parks are adding wet attractions that do not yet qualify them as waterparks. Just to make life more complicated, and fun, zoos and castles are adding amusements and splash parks. It any case, the single category for both APs and WPs makes it easier to find all of the fun parks in a state or country. This is in preparation for adding text to wiki articles, and adding thousands of photos to commons, and placing some of those photos in the wiki articles. Also, a state like Hawaii has only one of each, so having 2 categories for most of these small states and countries creates a maintenance nightmare. And for Florida, it is easier to see what Disney has to offer if all of the Disney sub-parks are listed together, like the zoo and the two waterparks next to Epcot and Magic Kingdom.

However, there has been no response in three days and am worried that my concerns went unnoticed. Is there anyone you know who can delete the file while waiting for the foundation to completely get rid of it, if they find it necessary? Thanks. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:52, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
Could you please explain this edit please. I delibrately did not move it to contested requests and I stated as such. There may have been a simple good reason that I was not aware of (this not being an area of my expertise) that mean it was uncontroversial. Asking for more information is not the same as contesting a request - especially as contested requests pretty much automatically starts a full discussion and this may not have been neccessary in this case. If you were contesting yourself then obviously that's fine but your edit summary suggests that wasn't the case.Dpmuk (talk) 23:05, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Template:Undercover Boss (U.S. TV series)A tag has been placed on Template:Undercover Boss (U.S. TV series) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted. If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

I liked how you have revised the List of former Islands of Adventure attractions article with sections for each attraction instead of a long listing, and I believe a similar re-write should be done for the List of former Universal Studios Florida attractions article as well. It may even help to merge several of the articles for former USF attractions which are currently on the verge of deletion (though I still feel some attractions merit their own article). Unfortunately, I don't have the time to re-write the article now. If you could do it do it for me, that would be great. Thanks!--Snowman Guy (talk) 00:04, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

For the windseeker page, I've been working on a 3D model of the ride to help support the "structure" sub-topic. I tried looking on the web for a good picture but couldn't find one. By the way, if i were to get a windseeker image from Cedar Points website (or some random one) and added a couple of words on it, is that allowed for Wikipedia and would that fall under "My Work" or still the license of "Promotional Material"/ or "Cedar Point's Work"/ "Some other guys work". Should I continue the 3D model, or should i keep looking for an image on the web. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dom497 (talk • contribs) 00:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Restructuring of Universal theme parks articlesHey there. Nice job on the merging for the List of former Universal Studios Florida attractions page.

Please try to find a reference as i couldn't find any and knowing that saying "i saw it on tv" is not a refrence Wikipedia accepts. Please do not also delete the edit as i promise that it is true. (This message has also been posted to jcgoble3's talk page as well... so maybe you guys could work together). Thanks!!!--Dom497 (talk) 18:26, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

I live a few minutes away from Wonderland (Canada's Wonderland) and pass by it almost everyday. I usually get stuck at red lights and see Windseeker operating. Once it goes down, Behmoth goes threw about 3 cycles and drop tower goes threw almost 6 cycles before Windseeker begins a new cycle. I think this would be perfect to add to the WS article but because i can't really reference it... is there a way i can add it without it getting deleted.

Earthquake the big oneI have a simple little question for you: Which is easier to do? Revert a good faith merge and watch the merge give up on the article leaving the merge undone for years? Or just delete the unsourced stuff after the merge? If I merged in unsourced stuff, the answer is to delete it, not to revert the whole damn thing.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Turbo Mountain at Adventure World.jpg A tag has been placed on File:Turbo Mountain at Adventure World.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so 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 the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Replaceable fair use File:Goofy's_Sky_School_concept.jpgThanks for uploading File:Goofy's_Sky_School_concept.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please remove the tag. Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Dream out loud (talk) 13:49, 12 October 2011 (UTC) A barnstar for you!

November 2011 Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on Big Brother Australia 2012. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively. Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. I'm not going to block this time, because I hate blocking - and the page protection should do the job. But you should know better, and if I see more edit warring, I will block. WormTT · (talk) 10:02, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC) stopped building coasters in 1979. Please see my citation on that page. I can also site other sources, including many conversations I have had with the current owner Tom Rebbie. I am keenly interested in amusement park and roller coaster history and have done a lot of research on PTC and Curtis D. Summers. I have been trying to edit all the coaster pages that incorrectly list PTC as the manufacturer, one of which you undid yesterday (Bush Beast). Please note that if you are using RCDB as a source, you must carefully look at where "manufactured by" appears. If it is under "trains" then the manufacturer only applies to the trains, not the entire coaster. RCDB is a great source, and I know Duane Marden, and I have contributed much to that site as well, but you have be careful how you read it. Also, you can't really trust any other online sources as most of them just copy what they see on Wiki or RCDB. I don't know who runs the Parkz site that was cited, but their information is incorrect. PTC did not build Bush Beast. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JlACEer (talk • contribs) 14:20, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Logo universal-studios.pngThanks for uploading File:Logo universal-studios.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). PLEASE NOTE:
Planet Snoopy PhotosHey, would it possible to use those photos that are going to get orphaned and deleted from the individual Planet Snoopy articles on the main Kings Island page?

Hopkins RidesI have a long list of Hopkins rides from their ride catalog and a feature article in Inside Track. Because there are so many rides, I was thinking of separating that one chart into multiple charts — flumes, shoot the chutes, river raft rides, coasters, and aerial cableways. It might take a little time to get to as the article and ride list do not mention the ride name that the park uses, so I have to look all that up on the park websites. Do you think that using separate charts be appropriate? JlACEer (talk) 00:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
