Epcot timeline
I read what you said and condensed the timeline quite a bit. Let me know what you think... --Erik16 02:05, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
I condensed it a little more and reworded a few of the lines. Again, if you think that anything still could you fixing, please send me a message on my talk page. --Erik16 19:24, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Islands of Adventure / Wizarding World of Harry Potter Discussion
Hi I replied to your message on my talk page and I copied the reply to the discussion on the article talk page in case you aren't watching my talk page. Incidentally, I noticed you were suffering from the same Kf4bdy-screwed-up-greeting-screwing-up-your-talk-page problem that I was, so I've fixed it - missing </font> tag. thanks Rmkf1982 Talk 23:03, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've redirected Wizarding World of Harry Potter to the Harry Potter section of Islands of Adventure. I was bold, and hopefully it doesn't lead to an edit war from people. I noticed you were for the redirect (from the looks of the talk). I wanted to give you a heads up, so you could help me watch the pages just in case the redirect is reverted.

However, I'm wondering if it should still be listed as Disney-MGM Studios until the official changeover in January 2008. I know the article says the name is changing, but at the same time the article should reflect how things are today. Opinions?
- I agree. My main concern was fixing the incorrect "new" name; the same contributor got it wrong in several other recent edits. Plus, you can see from the article history that the person reverted an edit of mine that had the effect of restoring several errors I had fixed so I was hoping to avoid another knee-jerk revert. —Whoville 20:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Invitation
Hi there and thankyou for your recent edits to Wikipedia's roller coaster related articles! I'd like to invite you to join the Roller coaster Wikiproject, a project formed to improve the quality of roller coaster related articles on Wikipedia. Feel free to add your name to the members page, and check out the to-do list. Hope to see you over there! Seaserpent85 23:59, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi, McDoobAU93. I'm currently building up a page for Universal Studios Florida's former Studio Tour, The Universal Florida Studio Tour. I'm desperately in need of a video of the tour to post on the ride videossection of the article, Would you happen to have any? Please respond with a message back to my talk page, or post a ride video ob the Studio Tour article and then post me a message on my talk page. Thanks--5VH9 (talk) 02:55, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Well, Thanks for trying.--5VH9 (talk) 13:46, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

 The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter
Issue I - December 2007 Got any suggestions? - Add them here |
Welcome to the new WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! Until now, in spite of a decent number of members signed up to the WikiProject, we have had no regular progress updates or information as to how much of a difference our contributions are making. This monthly newsletter aims to provide an overview of all the work that is being done behind the scenes and to celebrate the successes that would otherwise pass by unseen. Any suggestions for future additions and general help with the newsletter will be greatly appreciated. |
As can be seen on the assessment page, we are so close to finishing off assessment. If all current members of the WikiProject assessed just 2 articles, the backlog of unassessed-quality articles would be eliminated. The vast majority of articles are currently assessed as stubs, which is probably to be expected as many contain an infobox and nothing else. Getting these up to start-class is incredibly easy, many simply need references and tidying up. Even if you have very little knowledge on the article subject, this task should be fairly straightforward and is the first step in raising overall article quality. The following articles reached B-class quality during November: |
The Amusement Park Portal is now automatically linked to from the roller coaster infoboxes. It's important to remember that we need to integrate our articles with those covered by the Amusement Park WikiProject. When working on a roller coaster article, it's always a good idea to ensure that there is a wikilink from the relevant amusement park article, otherwise no-one will even know the article exists! |
During November the WikiProject was joined by 3 new members, bringing the total number up to 49. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments. |
Just to get the idea out there, I'd like to propose a monthly article drive. With the poor state of most of the articles, it's unreasonable to suggest even a GA-drive, so a B-class drive would be more realistic. Any suggestions for January's article can be brought up on the WikiProject Talk Page. Suggested articles should be presently at start or stub class and have sufficient reliable sources available to work from. |
Thanks for reading, any feedback would be hugely appreciated! Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! |

Edits on Universal Studios Florida
Hello, I'm sorry if my recent edits on the Universal article and it's attraction articles have been disruptive, And i'm actually not sure if Hollywood Dream: The Ride will open in the former Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast and The Boneyard areas of the park or not. Again i'm sorry, And i would like you to scan me a copy of Universal's recent maps/brochures if it's not too much to ask. Thanks.--Universal Studios Number 1 Fan (talk) 02:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
