You edited the "Lumberjack Steam Train" so that it redirected to "Laona and Northern Railroad". Having lived in Laona and knowing the operators and virtually the entire board of directors of the museum, I can say that this action was a mistake. The railroad is known and referred to by all as the "Lumberjack Steam Train". Yes, if you call a board member they will be able to identify the term "Laona and Northern", but that is not how they or anyone else refers to it. I thought I'd give you the opportunity to change the redirect in the interests of better accuracy. 70.226.132.54 (talk) 19:26, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Railroad categories

I see you've applied a lot of "Defunct railroads of [state]" categories to categories about particular railroads, such as Category:Reading Company. IMO, this is inappropriate. It will nest all articles in a particular railroad's category under all the state categories. I was sporadically recategorizing the railroad categories into the most specific category applicable to all articles after a mildly favorable response at project talk. What is your opinion on this? Choess (talk) 02:35, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

I followed the template that had been established for Category:Defunct New Jersey railroads and applied it to the rest of the states which had defunct railroad articles since railroads are easily defined by the jurisdiction(s) they operate in. IMO doing this makes the Category:New Jersey railroads (or any other state) more relevant (perhaps not the correct word) as it contains only currently operating railroads. I believe I categorized the railroad categories at this time in exactly the same way as the main article to ensure consistency. Many individual railroad articles and their categories for both active and defunct companies were confusing the Category:Defunct railroad companies of the United States and Category:Railway companies of the United States. These articles and categories were also being categorized under the master Category:Rail transport in the United States which is intended for high-level sub-categories, rather than individual companies. In short, it was all a bit of a mess, so I undertook to place them under defunct and active categories by state.Plasma east (talk) 14:37, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
User:SPUI has been heavily involved in rail transport articles and issues in the past few years. Perhaps he or others might have some input as well?Plasma east (talk) 14:44, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
I know SPUI, but he's essentially retired from Wikipedia AFAIK. We could bring it back to project talk, but see if my explanation about treating categories vs articles differently makes sense. Choess (talk) 15:04, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Let me see if I can explain more clearly. The reason I started doing my recategorizing was that I used one of MagnusManske's tools (some sort of photo finder) on, I think, Category:Pennsylvania railroads. The tool compiles all the articles in that category and its subcategories and tries to find pictures on Flickr for each article. I was pretty surprised when I saw it fishing around for photos of railroad infrastructure in distant states. The reason, of course, was that articles like Union Station (Chicago) are in the subcategory structure of Category:Pennsylvania Railroad (quite appropriately), and so they were now popping up in a category that's supposed to relate to the state of Pennsylvania. The reason I'm moving categories into Category:Rail transport in the United States is that the "master" is the most specific category that applies to that whole category. E.g., the Pennsylvania Railroad had operations in a number of states in the U.S. It's perfectly appropriate for the article on the Pennsylvania Railroad to be in the "Defunct railroad" categories in all those states. However, articles in Category:Pennsylvania Railroad might be in any or several of the states where the PRR operated. Placing the category for the PRR in all of the state categories is not appropriate, because then all the articles in the PRR category will be subcategories of, say, "Defunct railroads of New Jersey", even if that article refers to a place or thing that's in Pennsylvania or Maryland, etc. This seems to miss the point of making state-by-state categories.
In short, I think your work is just fine (and much appreciated) as regards articles, but the categories for given railroads need to be treated in a different way from the articles about those railroads — "consistency" is not the right thing to do here. Am I making sense now? Choess (talk) 15:02, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Ah shoot! I do follow you but I'm sorry that I didn't realize how my "categorizing the categories" would affect things in this way, especially with railroads that operate across multiple states. I'll look at your edit history and see how you're doing it and whether there's any way I can help. Thanks for alerting me to this as it's been several months since I was last looking at the railroad categories in any detail. Plasma east (talk) 17:34, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
No worries at all. I think you've already done the hard part, which is to get the articles themselves classified under all the proper states. All that really needs to be done is to strip the categories off Category:X Railroad and put it in either Category:Rail transport in North America or Category:Rail transport in the United States, depending on whether it crossed national borders. (I don't think we have any railroads that warrant their own category but were entirely within the borders of a single state, although I'm not absolutely certain. Work on it if you like, but don't feel obliged; I'll get around to it sometime. Glad my notion does make some sense when I explain it right. Best, Choess (talk) 17:54, 25 August 2008 (UTC) Done

Edits to HMCS Vancouver (FFH 331)

I've noticed that you have cut out a lot of detail to the HMCS Vancouver (FFH 331) article; please remember that sourced material should remain in the article, not removed unless a reason is given in the edit summary or in the article talk page, and that the goal is to improve the article through adding more detail, not taking them out, as we want to upgrade articles from stub status to a more fully fleshed out article. ThePointblank (talk) 08:09, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Much of the information contained on the HMCS Vancouver (FFH 331) article was specific to the Canadian Patrol Frigate Project (which I copied it into) - what would later become the Halifax-class frigate. I feel that it is important to maintain a common look and feel to Canadian warship articles and edited them for this reason, without having extraneous information that is better linked to in an article such as the CPFP. Plasma east (talk) 01:55, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Ok, but when you do that, you need to provide a reason why in the edit summary or on the talk page, otherwise, it could be seen poorly amongst other editors. ThePointblank (talk) 01:22, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Ontario Northland

I like the idea of splitting off the divisions - but you've left a mess in your wake again. The articles all need cleanup caused by your cut and paste without any research or formatting of the articles. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 00:56, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

How so? I thought that I grabbed the appropriate references. :-( I'm glad that the effort makes sense as it came about as part of my effort to categorize bus transport by province and ONT Motor Coach Services are distinctly separate from the ONR. Plasma east (talk) 01:08, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Ah, I see - the ONTC article needs referencing. I'll try to find some to back up what's there. Plasma east (talk) 01:12, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Added a few from the history section of the 2002 Annual Report. Hope that helps. Cheers Plasma east (talk) 01:42, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I am following your Category restructuring and appreciate that it can be a complex project. I will help and move anything I find that has been missed and will consult you if there are any problems there.
The ON articles were missing basic things like cross linking to each other; creating a heading to hold references, some of which are out of date; ensuring that links to the "Ontario Northland" REDIRECT page, now connect to the relevant article - Commission, Rail or Coach. The ON Coach entry needs substantial cleanup to become acceptable as a stand alone article - and I will improve that one. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 01:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

OK, and thanks for pointing out the missing references.Plasma east (talk) 14:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
OK, but the Ontario Northland redirect, in most cases, should point at either Rail or Coach rather than the Commission. Due to these new articles and you moving the redirect this is not the case and still requires each linked article to be checked to find out which one is relevant and relink it there. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 18:46, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Could you please discuss...

Could you please discuss this redirection?

While the wikipedia's underlying software allows redirection to subsection heading, I very concerned with the use of the feature -- or bug -- in article space.

Powerful aspects of the bidirectional linking are not supported with wikilinks that are actually links to subsection headings.

Redirection makes sure that links continue to work even when the names of articles are changed. But changes to the name of a sub-section heading that is the target of a wikilink will silently break any wikilinks that point there. I regard this as a very strong reason not to use wikilinks ot subsection heading in article space.

With regular wikilinks othe "what links here" button tells the reader which articles link to the current article. But there is no corresponding feature to tell readers "what wikilinks point to this section of this article. I regard this as another very strong reason not to use wikilinks ot subsection heading in article space.

If something is worth making a link to, it is almost always worthy of an article of its own.

I'd like you to consider please agreeing to reverting your redirection.

Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 20:45, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Redirection from Royal Naval College of Canada

I am interested in starting a new article on the Royal Naval College of Canada. This was a specialised Naval training institution in Halifax from 1911-1922, and where Canada's great WWII Admirals were all trained up. This is not the same at all as the Royal Canadian Naval College which was founded in 1942 and became Royal Roads. I am however a bit of a wikinoob and am not sure how to undo the redirect that you have created (I am sure with the best of intentions) some time ago. Do you see any problem with deleting the reirect, and can you do this for us? Then I can start a RNCC stub. Thanks. Please post reply here.

Category:Shipwrecks of the British Columbia coast

The convention in BC is that, when referring to the region or the landform as a region, i.e. in a proper-name sense, "Coast" is capitalized, as also are "Interior" and "Lower Mainland" (e.g. not "lower mainland"); note the article British Columbia Coast. Other than that, and partly because ships involved in the coastal trade were also on the rivers (Fraser, Skeena and Stikine) and that there were lots of wrecks on inland waters (even those not part of those river-navigation routes), the category would have been better titled Category:Shipwrecks in British Columbia (or "of", whichever is the Wiki-convention); to me "Shipwrecks of Canada" implies wrecks of ships owned by Canada, i.e. by the government; many wrecks in BC were foreign-owned, e.g. the Tonquin .... and some that occurred in Alaskan waters were of signifance to British Columbia, e.g. the Sophie (or Sophia??) and registered in BC etc... either way, a general BC category rather than a coastal-only one is needed as if there is to be a coastal category, then Category:Shipwrecks on the inland waters of British Columbia or Category:Shipwrecks of the British Columbia Interior is needed (note capital "I").Skookum1 (talk) 21:51, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I see where you are going and I can assure you, the same convention is used in eastern Canada such as the use of "coasts" and "shores" in New Brunswick (North Shore, Fundy Shore, East Coast), the use of "coasts" in Newfoundland and Labrador (East Coast, South Coast, East Coast, West Coast, Labrador Coast) and the use of "shores" in Nova Scotia (North Shore, South Shore, Eastern Shore, Fundy Shore) and Prince Edward Island (North Shore, South Shore).
To be clear, I copied the naming convention used for Category:Shipwrecks of the Alaska coast and Category:Shipwrecks of the Washington coast when creating this category for British Columbia. It would appear that most sub-national jurisdictions in North America are using a convention based on the small "c" for coast. Although the region known as the "British Columbia Coast" or "Coastal British Columbia" is definitely a distinct geographic area within the province that deserves capitalization, my interpretation is that the use of "coast" with a small c denotes the navigable salt waters of the province and its immediate offshore regions, and not only the land-sea boundary which sees the use of the term "Coast" used somewhat ambiguously. I used to live in BC and many places far inland called themselves "coastal" when they were anything but!.
I too noted the lack of a Category:Shipwrecks in the British Columbia Interior and believe this is a valid name based on a uniquely named geographic region, similar to Category:Shipwrecks in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, etc. Plasma east (talk) 02:17, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

No problem with the proposed change. I only realized this after most of the state public transportation categories were already created so kept this terminology for standardization. Perhaps they can all be changed by a bot if requested. Plasma east (talk) 15:12, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
CfD does not have a way to request a speedy rename by a user when you are the only one to have edited the category. The change needs to go through a full CfD. About the only way to do this quickly is to empty the category yourself and then nominate it as a G7 speedy. I do this when I make an error in a newly created category. Don't use C1 or C2 for the speedy request since those are being reviewed for out of process changes and both really require you to empty the category first. I don't consider something like this to be an attempt to evade the process, simply an attempt to fix a mistake. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:50, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

EMC merger

I think EMC Emergency Medical Care Inc., a subsidiary of Medavie EMS, needs to be merged into the parent article. if you don't do it, it will likely be deleted sooner or later. Bearian (talk) 21:08, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Island EMS is another one. Bearian (talk) 21:16, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
I have no problem with having just the parent company if you think that's the way to go. I wasn't sure if they warranted separate articles, since they are legally incorporated companies operating in different jurisdictions, so I erred on the side of caution by creating the subsidiaries as well. Medavie EMS is a New Brunswick-based holding company for these different operating units which provide all of the contracted ground and air ambulance services throughout the three Maritime provinces.Plasma east (talk) 13:42, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

CFS Debert

Hello, I'm working at the Debert Military Museum, and for a bit of a summer project we're trying to improve the (already very good!) article on CFS Debert. Just to make our job a bit easier -- what are your main sources for the info in the article? (I saw that you'd done a complete rewrite a few years ago.) The only source currently listed is our museum's website. If you could reply to my talk page, that would be great :) QMarion II (talk) 16:41, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
