Speedy deletion of New York Mountains north divide
[edit]Hello Mmcannis, this is a message from an automated bot to inform you that the page you created on October 24 2010, New York Mountains north divide, has been marked for speedy deletion by User:Vegaswikian (note: page has no mainspace links, and 7 edits).

" to the page text, and edit the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. If you have a question about this bot, please ask it at User talk:SDPatrolBot II.

Edits in conflict with User:Hike796
[edit]Hi; it's been brought to my attention (and I have been noticing myself) that you have been in a bit of an edit war across a number of pages with User:Hike796. Can we slow things down, and stop the back and forth? You two need to discuss things on the talk page instead of just endlessly reverting each other. If you keep it up, you are both in danger of being blocked for disruptive editing. Thanks, Good Ol’factory (talk) 20:36, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- Also, your comments at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Searchlight_Triple_Divide_Point are quite inappropriate. I suggest you don't call others "vandalizers", as that means a person who makes edits in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia.

Great Basin Divide, in Nevada
[edit]I'm having trouble following your intent. I think that sub articles are needed only if and when a top level article needs to be divided. Basin and Range province should work fine for the foreseeable future. In the event that needs splitting, names used for the sub articles should match reliable sources. A search on Central Nevada endorheic valleys & basins produces no hits so clearly this name is suspect. As to a quadruple intersection for the category name. Generally categories should be named for one specific qualifier. Generally a double intersection for membership is frowned on. In the case of Category:Great Basin Divide border landforms of Nevada it must be in the Great Basin, be a divide which is ambiguous which is also frowned on, be on a border, be a land form and be in Nevada would clearly not be an acceptable category. Actually that's a quintuple intersection I think. Bottom line, it may be best to write the articles and not try to subdivide the categories. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:30, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
- I just read, this. And, it is very early 4Nov2010, and the "common NAME"-phrase, has made me go with an Idea to Re-Write the CNDB, Central Nevada Desert Basin article as I would describe the "Region" (south of the Humboldt River, and north, and northeast of that area, (the NWest-(NEV) being defined different geologically/geogrphically (the Black Rock,etc, Sierra influences) as the basin merges into So. Oregon, (and delimited on WEST, by the Warner Mountains, (and the Valley,forgetting the Precise Name.).. So I may wait awhile to Re-Format the Central Nevada Des.Bas. (nee..)formerly, and the New one: Central Nevada endorheic valleys & basins.. it may be a catch-all definitional "common name"-componented-NAME....., but it 'precisely defines the region' (except for often, N-S, block-faulting of: Basin and Range, and located IN: "Great Basin region". ... so I may make a simple FIRST-level, START-article-(and still NOT work on it, as explained in Messages to YOU and GoodOlfact.), and post it, and give the History Mention of Hike796 as it is historically a version following his introduction, article (As described, I was simply working on Valleys, 3 thru 7, that I had make for Nevada (STARTing with the very important Piute Wash and Valley then the next being, the equally important Pahrump Valley, where I was just still learning GEOBOX template usage... So thanks for explaining. (if you reply, with any info, please comment on SOCKpuppet, and if Computers ARE, being taken over, even in minor ways. (I don't trust the intrusive agencies-ONLY because IT is obvious they have HACKing abilities)---(from HOTArizona,USA, SonoranDesert,..)--Mmcannis (talk) 07:27, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
- Actually Eldorado Valley was No. 2, then Pahrump, then the numerous others, including the 3 Antelope Valley (Lander County), Antelope Valley (Elko-White Pine Counties), then Antelope Valley (Eureka County), ..(I forget the sequence, but the rest are: Goshute Valley, Lake Valley (Nevada), Three Lakes Valley (Nevada), Fish Lake Valley(over a Re-Direct)... and the updating with a diffent Geobox on: Antelope Valley (California-Nevada)... (so that ALL took awhile-JUST examined the history for Latest:FISH Lake Valley start of last 5, 10October2010)Mmcannis (talk) 07:41, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Category:Valleys of Nevada
[edit]Maps and large pieces of text should be avoided in categories which are for article navigation. Adding these can push the actual content off the first page the user sees hindering navigation. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:36, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Category:Introduced species sites
[edit]Where are you getting this list of introduced species sites? 117Avenue (talk) 03:00, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- You didn't answer my question, what is your reference for these statements? 117Avenue (talk) 23:46, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
I also have concerns about this category. I doubt there is a single place on earth that hasn't had a species (whether plant or animal) introduced to it, and I don't see any basis for defining "site" in a way that would give this category a meaningful threshold for inclusion. Based on your response to 117Avenue on their talk page, it doesn't seem like you've used any reliable sources to compile this category and define what is an "introduced species site" and what isn't, but rather that you just somewhat arbitrarily threw stuff in based on some mention of an introduced species in the place's article. So right now I'm intending to list the category for deletion unless you can convince me otherwise.
Please post your response here to keep this thread together, and please keep your response as concise as possible and use standard formatting. Your comments tend to stray from what's really relevant and necessary, and your intermittent use of caps, boldface, and parentheticals just impedes readability. I hope that's not too harsh, but I know I'm not the only one who has had a lot of difficulty trying to understand your comments, which just undercuts whatever point you're trying to make. postdlf (talk) 16:01, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
