Speedy deletion of Green Bay Country Club
A tag has been placed on Green Bay Country Club, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Maen. K. A.

If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Speedy deletion of List of Characters and Races of Mario Kart Wii
A tag has been placed on List of Characters and Races of Mario Kart Wii requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

Michigan highway infobox
WP:USRD/STDS says to limit the junction list in an infobox to 10 junctions. Many articles don't even have that many, limiting the list there to just the most major junctions. You've increased the length of some lists to 15 or even 20 junctions, not counting the termini. Please use some discretion to keep these lists to a reasonable size. As well, when dealing with I-96 and the I-x96s, if you use |country=USA instead of |state=MI, then the template won't link to the Michigan-specific version of the link, which just redirects to regular article. Thank you.  Imzadi 1979  →   22:54, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Your edit to the infobox on U.S. Route 223 introduced an error. As it is explained in the body of the article, US 223 actually extends concurrently with US 127 to terminate at US 12. It might not be signed that way, but it does. I have reverted your change to restore the correct terminus.  Imzadi 1979  →   02:04, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * When a junction lists multiple highways, the convention is to list the Interstates first, US Highways second and state highways third. If more than one of the same type are listed, normally each type is listed in numerical order. Please keep this in mind for your future edits.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:05, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Missouri infobox
Please, please, please read WP:USRD/STDS. Not only was Interstate 70 in Missouri over the ten junction limit in the infobox, each line of junctions was listed numerically! When using Jct, please list the Interstates first, then the US Highways, then state highways. Thank you. –Fredddie™ 01:07, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Chicago street article suggestions
I see that you've been busy creating/editing articles related to Chicago's major streets. I have a few suggestions: The U.S. Roads project may not support/tag/assess/etc street articles, but the U.S. Roads portal includes streets in its scope. So few street articles are in good-enough shape to merit inclusion, but Prairie Avenue was the portal selected article last October; we always welcome street-related content for photos and DYKs as well. The WikiProject has "Roads" in its name because "U.S. Highways" is the name of one of its task forces related to the United States Numbered Highway System; the portal has "Roads" in its name because it includes all types of roads, streets included, in its scope.  Imzadi 1979  →   22:04, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Add a "See also" section with links like:
 * 2) * and
 * 3) *If there are already legitimate see also links, you can use portal to generate the float box on the right side, but if there aren't, I use the portal-inline version (which has to be repeated as separate lines in a bulleted list) to generate a nice bulleted list in the section.
 * 4) Commons boxes (or the -inline variant) should go into an External links section, because Commons pages are not on Wikipedia. Portals are internal links because those are hosted on the same website.
 * 5) Remove the Chicago navbox because none of those links in that box are to the street articles. Listing two navboxes makes them autocollapse, and then the reader doesn't see all of the related links in Streets in Chicago navbox, which are directly related.

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.


 * Illinois Route 58 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
 * added a link pointing to Glenview, Illinois

Please explain
Your recent edits of Illinois routes, particularly I've noticed on 22 and 120, have left without explanation why you changed the major junctions infobox from "near" to "in" on certain cities. For 22 I clearly wrote in the edit summary that "based on multiple boundary maps, this interchange resides directly between Lincolnshire and Bannockburn and is therefor not 'in' Lincolnshire" and you changed it without explanation. I'm guessing that this is the case for other routes as well as some junctions are between 2 cities or not clearly in any city, so it would be nice if you provided an explanation as to why multiple maps are being disregarded.

Your contributed article, Jeffery Boulevard (Chicago)


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Jeffery Boulevard (Chicago). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Jeffrey Boulevard (Chicago). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Jeffrey Boulevard (Chicago) - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. --IShadowed 01:27, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Tri-State Tollway
Please see Talk:Tri-State Tollway for the reason why the main infobox should not be modified to include the Edens Spur.  Imzadi 1979  →   04:02, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Junction count in an infobox
Please be careful in updating the junction list in a highway article's infobox. USRD has a firm 8–10 limit in response to feedback we've received over the years at WP:FAC. In short, other groups of editors don't like long infoboxes, so we have that limit to keep them from getting too big. Second, we don't have to link the second usage of a city or location name in the list, and in fact, we shouldn't per WP:OVERLINK. Third, it's not necessary to list each end of a concurrency in an infobox, especially when there are no junctions in between. And fourth, it's not necessary, and in fact can make things harder, if you collapse the list by removing the line breaks. We're looking at implementing plainlist which would mean we actually format each junction as a separate line in a bulleted list in the wikicoding, but the template would not display the bullets. The reason that's done is so that screen readers and another adaptive technologies for the disabled or differently-abled would know that they are items in a list (the bullets), but the plainlist template coding would not display them that way. Removing the line breaks makes it harder to compare changes from one revision to another in "diff" mode. 22:50, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, and don't put the segment headers in "Title Case"; Wikipedia uses "Sentence case" for headings and things. That means "Western Segment" is wrong, but "Western segment" is right in the infobox on US 2. The only exception is if the header/heading uses proper nouns that should be capitalized, but such a descriptive name is not a proper noun.  Imzadi 1979  →   22:53, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Why did you remove Wisconsin Highway 41 from the browser order on U.S. Route 41 in Wisconsin. Just because it's a former designation doesn't mean that you should skip it.  Imzadi 1979  →   02:02, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I concur. Please stop doing this and discuss; this is standard procedure per WP:USRD/STDS. --Rschen7754 04:40, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:USRD/STDS, which states: The bottom section of the infobox provides a field for browsing all highways in a state in numerical order. Wisconsin Highway 41 exists as an article and historically existed as a once-used highway designation. It should be included in the U.S. Route 41 in Wisconsin article. Further removal of it could be termed vandalism. Please discuss this, and stop changing the browser to bypass the article, thank you.  Imzadi 1979  →   04:41, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This editor doesn't seem to reply to anything, at least not in the obvious place, which is here. They have been doing a huge amount of editing on road articles and some of what I've seen is questionable which makes me wonder about the vast majority which I haven't looked through.  RoadView (talk) 09:07, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's the thing... I know very little about Midwest roads, so I have no idea if something is right or not. I already blocked this editor last year (which, granted, was a bit sketchy) but as I see it, we're running out of options here, and I'm not exactly sure what else to do. --Rschen7754 09:12, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's weird, I glanced over a few Wisconsin edits and for the most part the changes to the infobox appear to be fine. But I have noticed some very likely errors, such as  Wisconsin Highway 11's junction with I-94/US-41; it was changed from Sturtevant to Mt. Pleasant, which is incorrect but I don't know what citation/source to use for something like this.  Another thing is on the U.S. Route 12 in Wisconsin info box there are way too many junctions listed even though alot of it appears to be accurate.  There are other similar issues too, and probably more with other states as well, but it would be incredibly time consuming and tedious to go through every edit.  Again, most of it seems to be correct, so I'm not sure what happens in situations like these, especially when the user ostensibly refuses to have a discourse.  RoadView (talk) 12:48, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Junction changes
You changed U.S. Route 141 from using  and   to using the WI. While this is technically correct, it has the side effect of pointing the link to Interstate 43 (Wisconsin) instead of Interstate 43 and U.S. Route 8 in Wisconsin instead of U.S. Route 8. Since the state version of the link redirects to the undifferentiated link, you're linking to the intended target through a redirect. That's fine, but not necessary, and since we're not going to break out state-detail articles for I-43 (it's an intrastate Interstate) nor US 8 (250 of the 280 miles of it is in WI and the MI segment is only 2 miles), linking directly to the intended target if preferable.  Imzadi 1979  →   00:10, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you ever reply or even read your talk page?  Imzadi 1979  →   03:45, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The discussion is about the topic User:Dooiney. Thank you. --Rschen7754 07:55, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Green Bay Country Club


The article Green Bay Country Club has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No claim to notability, fails WP:GNG

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Dennis Brown - 2&cent;    &copy;  13:18, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Your contribution history has a disturbing pattern of ignoring the concerns of others and refusing to communicate and address those concerns. It appears that many of your edits are counter to the guidelines in WP:MOS, which means other editors are having to spend time cleaning up your mistakes and misunderstandings.  Many times, they have tried to approach you above to discuss them, but you have refused to engage.  Communicating with other editors is required at Wikipedia in circumstances like this, it is not optional.  To prevent further disruption, I have blocked you from editing for a period of two week, as your last block for one week was ineffective at getting you to address the concerns.  Allow me to be blunt here: If you do not engage in discussion with other editors so that you can discuss and compromise on these edits, and resume your previous disruptive editing methods, you will be blocked for an indefinite period of time, meaning you will not be able to edit here at all.  I am hoping that you will be wise enough to start a conversation here, so we can address these concerns.  As always, any admin reviewing this block is free to user their best judgement without consultation from me if they feel a modification of this block is warranted.

Vandalism at Elissa Slotkin
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Elissa Slotkin. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 02:51, 25 July 2022 (UTC)


 * How the hell was that edit unconstructive? All I did was removed the sentence claiming Slotkin was a "moderate" Democrat.  I removed it because in the very next sentence, it states she has voted in line with Biden 100% of the time.  Those two sentences are very clearly contradicting to one another.  I don't know about you, but that definitely does not sound like a moderate to me. Dooiney (talk) 03:33, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Are you seriously substituting your OR opinions for what a good RS says? That's a clear NPOV violation. Don't just remove properly sourced content, especially without an edit summary or discussion.
 * Biden happens to be fairly moderate, and even if he weren't, party loyalty is very important now, so her supporting him, instead of handing the GOP victories by creating division in the Democratic party, is strategically the smart thing to do, regardless of any minor differences between him and her. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:55, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * BTW, 90% of the time, when RS say something like the above, our logical job is to learn from them and bring our opinions into line with them. Follow the evidence. OTOH, if there is clear disagreement among mainstream RS, it's another matter. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:59, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * . The only truly moderate Democrat is Joe Manchin.  He will vote against Biden's positions a fair amount, especially when it comes to economics and "climate change."  Manchin understands that the horrendous inflation and the looming depression (not recession, but depression) is by far and away the number one priority for over 99% of Americans at the moment.
 * And calling Biden a moderate is also a fucking joke. He has been a puppet his whole career, just going along with whoever the most vocal Democrats have been at the time.  Yes, he took much more centrist views in 1990s when Clinton was president, but that is because the Democrats were only slightly left-of-center then.  Most of what Biden says and does now echoes the America-hating communists of the Squad, and those idiots are as far from moderate as you can get, on either side of the political spectrum.  There have been studies that have shown that Democrats have moved significantly further left since the 1990s than Republicans have moved right in that time frame.  Republicans are closer to center than Democrats are today, and it is not even close.

Biased sources
Only trusted journalistic citations should be used as sources for edits to Wikipedia article. In the 2022 Michigan gubernatorial election article, you used questionable and biased sources the Washington Times and the blog Legal Insurrection. Blogs are frowned upon as anyone can make a blog. Both of these sources have a right-wing slant. Steelbeard1 (talk) 01:35, 3 November 2022 (UTC)


 * So Wikipedia cannot have right-wing bias, but it can have left-wing bias? I could list countless examples of this if needed.  It is a fact that Whitmer stated that schools were closed for only three months, and it is also a fact that schools in places like Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Flint were still closed in the opening months of 2022.  And finally, please list at least five sources that have a right-wing slant, and then list at least five sources that have a left-wing slant, just so I can see that Wikipedia is doing everything they can to remain neutral, because turning back this edit makes me question the true neutrality of Wikipedia. Dooiney (talk) 01:56, 3 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I'll list five each. Left-wing: Alternet, BuzzFeed, Huffpost, Mother Jones, Slate.  Right-wing: American Spectator, Breitbart, Blaze, Newsmax, OAN.  There are others.  Once again, it was the school districts, NOT THE GOVERNOR, who closed schools for COVID outbreak reasons longer than three months. Steelbeard1 (talk) 12:41, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter if Whitmer was the one responsible for those schools being closed into 2022 or not. The fact that she said that they were only closed for three months, which is factually incorrect, shows that she has no problem covering up for and defending those school closures, which we are now seeing the drastic negative impacts those had on children, when it comes to learning loss and test scores, social development, depression, drug use, etc. Dooiney (talk) 14:19, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * And speaking of bias, let me ask you this. Which of these sources would you consider biased, if any: Detroit Free Press, Detroit News, New York Post, New York Times, and Washington Post? Dooiney (talk) 14:34, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The clear answer regarding your new list is the New York Post with an obvious right wing slant. Steelbeard1 (talk) 18:32, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * That's what I figured you'd say. You are so far to the left yourself, it is so obvious.  The New York Times and the Washington Post are further left than the New York Post is to the right.  Don't kid yourself, you know it's true.  So if anyone posts anything from the New York Post on Wikipedia, it would be considered from a biased source and removed? Dooiney (talk) 18:43, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Regarding the questionable citations I called out, the blog Legal Insurrection gave the headline "Michigan Gov. Whitmer Lies About Closing Schools for Only Three Months Over COVID" when I made it VERY CLEAR that it was the school boards and not the governor who kept the schools closed longer. Note that questionable news stories have a tendency to edit stories to fit their biases and also change the story's context.  The Washington Times piece does mention in the body of the text about the school boards closing the schools, but Republican spokespeople in the piece blamed her and NOT the school boards. Steelbeard1 (talk) 18:51, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Check out this Forbes magazine piece from 2017 regarding reliable news sources. Steelbeard1 (talk) 18:54, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You dodging me calling you out proves my point even more. I'm done with you.  . Dooiney (talk) 18:58, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
