You have broken a cardinal rule of disambiguation pages
They are not needed when only two articles exist. Please undo the mess you've created with Expo Line. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:50, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I redid the move. Rather than using religious references to Wikipedia edits, I used a Wikipedia directive - which is simply: "Be Bold." Even though the Vancouver Expo line wiki has been around longer, I could easily argue that the Los Angeles version has actually been in existence longer and/or that there is simply more media coverage of the Los Angeles Expo, line making it more suitable for the main "Expo Line" page with hat note to the Vancouver version.
 * However, because this could easily turn into a pissing contest and because there are conceivably more (non transit) uses for the term "Expo Line" (as evidenced by searching that term), I opted to move the Vancouver version to the name Expo Line (TransLink) following the existing convention for other TranLink systems with conflicting names.
 * Los Angeles Expo is exponentially gaining coverage in online reference and is searched for more often than Vancouver. Doing this now, while a pain in the ass, is easier than doing it later and provides a better, clearer user experience for the reader who would probably have no idea there were two system with the same name. It also levels the field, eliminating any need for a pissing contest. Lexlex (talk) 22:05, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I have finished moving all links for the Canadian Expo Line to Expo Line (TransLink). Is it just me, or did these guys seem particularly cranky to you? Anyway, done and will no longer have to deal with it. Do you think the hat notes on either should stay? Lexlex (talk) 04:05, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Cranky is a good word for it. I know Mr. Görlitz was quite upset by the whole thing. Anyway thanks for completing the move. I think the hat notes are fine. -- Jcovarru (talk) 16:07, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 05:41, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Merging Crenshaw/Line and Corridor
Your excellent work with LA Metro pages is highly commendable! Thank you for all you have done. I am curious as to your views of a proposed merge of the Crenshaw Line and Crenshaw Corridor pages. The information on both pages is fairly similar. With construction work on the line will begin in a few months, it seems appropriate to merge the two articles. I would suggest moving much of the Crenshaw Line article into the the "Proposed Route" section of Crenshaw Corridor.--Jkfp2004 (talk) 00:40, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Coordinator sought for the US National Archives WikiProject
Greetings, WikiProject US National Archives member!

We are seeking a coordinator to help reboot the project and work on new initiatives! The role is modeled after other Wikiproject coordinators, like the WikiProject Military History coordinators. The coordinator will work with the Wikipedian in Residence to organize and increase participation in the WikiProject, with the goal that the WikiProject is an active space for collaboration maintained by and for the Wikipedia editors, rather than the National Archives.

Please see the full information at GLAM/NARA/Coordinator and contact me is you have any questions. Feel free to pass this note along to any interested parties. Thanks! Dominic·t 21:04, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
