Disambiguation link notification for April 1
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that 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.

Heads up
Hey Northamerica1000. Please see Template talk:Deletion debates. I've dropped a link to the thread at the village pump given that it's unlikely to have many watchers. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:58, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the notification; I've provided my opinion at the discussion. NorthAmerica1000 04:27, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey again North. Since the opinion over yonder is pretty clear, I thought I might ask you to make the change "per talk page" or something like that. Though not a formal discussion that needs to be closed and where the requester is totally forbidden to implement as being involved, I try to avoid any appearance of bias, so I'd rather not implement the consensus since I was the requester – and since you were the reverter, who better?--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:18, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Fuhghettaboutit: ✅. I've also denoted this at the discussion. NorthAmerica1000 00:22, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Much appreciated!--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:29, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks and help?
Thanks for the Barnstar for the Sip 'n Dip Lounge I have it at DYK and it's languishing for lack of a review, would you be interested in popping by there if no one gets to it in the next 24 hours? Montanabw (talk) 01:58, 5 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi User:Montanabw: I've reviewed the DYK submission at Template:Did you know nominations/Sip 'n Dip Lounge. NorthAmerica1000 03:47, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Busy?
Got time to NAC this? It looks too complicated for others to see it has been withdrawn. Stalwart 111  09:40, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

List of ice cream flavors
Good stuff! I actually started it as a section ages ago, but it was removed. Nice to see it now exists. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:24, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Anna Frodesiak: Thanks for the background info. It appears this will work out as a standalone article. Feel free to improve it! Cheers, NorthAmerica1000 02:20, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

TAFI mass message
You don't actually need to adjust the template when sending a mass message, it's got parser functions built in to take care of that. I've added instructions to the documentation at Template:TAFI weekly selections notice to make it easier in the future. - Evad37 &#91;talk] 10:54, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Deletion review for Voipfone
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Voipfone. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. 209.172.25.71 (talk) 15:47, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

In researching Red Easter eggs..
Can you determine what this Czech Easter bread is stuffed with? Looks like pork meats to me. Do we know what this bread is called? Is there an article on it? Why it is eaten at Easter? Is it Pecínek and šoldra means stuffed? Candleabracadabra (talk) 18:44, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi User:Candleabracadabra. The bottom image appears to have both sausage and ham within the bread. I need more time to potentially address your queries posted in the thread above (List of Food Trucks in New York City) and here, because I'm presently working on other stuff. NorthAmerica1000 02:25, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * No worries and no rush. I'm just plugging through a bunch of stuff. Some of it is pretty interesting. I am going to create Pecínek now and see if Google translate comes up with something for šoldra. Good luck with your projects and thank you greatly for all your contributions and generous assistance to others! Have fun. Candleabracadabra (talk) 02:28, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Ping User:Candleabracadabra: I have performed minor edits to the following articles (WikiProject tagging, categorization, layout, etc.):
 * Clear toy candy
 * Red Easter egg
 * Regennas Candy Shop
 * Shane Confectionery
 * Pumpkin dessert
 * Simple & Crisp
 * Easter bread

One thing I strongly recommend is to be sure to include sources in new articles to verify content and to qualify topic notability. I noticed that some of your new creations are unsourced, which leaves them open to potential deletion, which would also erase from public view all of the work you have performed. Just some friendly advice, and thanks for your contributions to the encyclopedia. NorthAmerica1000 06:39, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Club América Soccer Academy
Hi, you closed the Club América Soccer Academy AFD recently. A user is disregarding the outcome of that AfD. Since I started that AfD, I can't take much action here (per WP:INVOLVED), so perhaps you can take a look and do whatever's necessary (simply talking with the editor involved may be enough). Thanks. Fram (talk) 06:15, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi User:Fram: Thank you for the notification. I have reverted the restoration of Club América Soccer Academy and redirected it to Southern Premier Soccer League (diff). Furthermore, I have left a message regarding this matter at User talk:Oglesruins - Club América Soccer Academy. NorthAmerica1000 06:29, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Fram (talk) 06:39, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

List of Food Trucks in New York City
Not sure if you've seen this deletion discussion? Have you ever created any categories? I think a category of food trucks would be useful. I also think a list article of food trucks or food truck articles more broadly (not sure how that would be done? portal?) might also be useful. Enjoy your weekend and happy eating, oops I mean editing. Candleabracadabra (talk) 01:12, 6 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi User:Candleabracadabra: Good idea. I have created Category:Food trucks. Feel free to categorize more food truck-related articles within this new cat. Cheers, NorthAmerica1000 02:22, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I added Dickie Dee, it's not so much a ice cream truck, more like an ice cream bike, but the concept is the same...--kelapstick(bainuu) 19:03, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. NorthAmerica1000 19:56, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. In addition to my question below, you are most welcome to assist with clear toy, red Easter egg, Regennas Candy Shop, Shane Confectionery, with the Pumpkin dessert and see also subject (merge needed) articles, and Simple & Crisp if any of them interest you. By a fun coincidence a couple of them are Easter related. Do you ever do Did You Knows? Candleabracadabra (talk) 02:21, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

TerraCycle
Hey! How are you doing? Could you please check out TerraCycle for me and point out some errors? I plan to nominate it for DYK by tonight (the deadline). Thanks! Bananasoldier (talk) 08:38, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi User:Bananasoldier: Nice work on the article expansion. I may not have time to work on this article, and it doesn't appear to need much work at this point, but it is quite an impressive expansion. I remember working on this one around mid-2013 (see ). Thanks for improving it for Wikipedia's readers, and good luck with the DYK nomination. NorthAmerica1000 10:36, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey, I actually resurrected your info about cigarettes :P. Thanks, though. Bananasoldier (talk) 14:12, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Noodles
Hey, just wanted to say great work on List of noodle dishes and List of noodles! Stephen (talk) 10:46, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi User:Slaporte: Thanks very much. They're a work in progress, and would benefit from the entries being filled-in with brief descriptions. These things take time and energy, though. Cheers, NorthAmerica1000 10:48, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm no noodle expert, but I will take a look at what I can do. I noticed because I started a weekly newsletter of the most edited Wikipedia articles, and you single-handedly made those the #4 and #9 new articles for the week! Cheers, Stephen (talk) 10:56, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Slaporte - If you ever plan on sending this newsletter within Wikipedia's servers, add me to the list. NorthAmerica1000 11:02, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Slaporte - Also, in the event you're not aware of this Wikipedia resource, check out Top 25 Report, which lists pages that receive the most page hits on a weekly basis. NorthAmerica1000 11:04, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks
Missed that one &mdash; I guess it goes without saying that I haven't exactly done a lot of NACs (in fact, I think this one was my first ever). Kurtis (talk) 10:25, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi User:Kurtis: I saw the lack of a closing template, so added it in. Be sure to review the afd close instructions in entirety to prevent this type of error in the future. Thanks for your work to improve Wikipedia, and happy editing! NorthAmerica1000 11:32, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I actually did look over the closing instructions, but I was in a bit of a hurry so I ultimately missed that particular clause. Not a big deal &mdash; it's not as if life's most important lessons aren't generally learned by mistake. ;-) Kurtis (talk) 07:45, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

AfC awards
Hi! Thanks for taking on the task of awarding the barnstars. I think you may have not taken into account the extra points involved with the drive. I had another twelve in addition to my 123 actual reviews, so I think I'm supposed to have the tireless contributor award instead of the working Wikipedian. Note the little award icons next to the totals on the drive page. Thanks! &mdash; MusikAnimal talk 17:30, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Category:Florida wineries
Hi Northamerica1000. Would you please create this category? Thank you. Happy tidings. Candleabracadabra (talk) 12:18, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Candleabracadabra: do you have a list of Florida wineries to categorize here? It's best to first have articles to categorize, and then create the cat. NorthAmerica1000 12:48, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I created an article on Bunker Hill Vineyard & Winery and another editor added the category before realizing that it didn't exist. I also just created Keel & Curley. Here's link with a map of other wineries in Florida. Florida Orange Groves and San Sebastian Winery are notable. I am not familiar with the others or which may have articles already. Candleabracadabra (talk) 12:53, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

March 2014 AFC backlog drive.
Greetings, Northamerica1000! I'm just here inquiring about the distribution of the awards for the drive - I don't know if you were the one who handed them out this time, but I recall you were on the drive before, so I took a guess. Anyway, it seems I was overlooked again, so I'm just letting someone know. Spring in Wikipedia is lovely! Just avoid the articles on flowers... (talk) 23:38, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅. Please be sure to list your Backlog Elimination Drive pages at the monthly project pages (e.g. March 2014 Backlog Elimination Drive). Otherwise, it's unlikely that people will know about your contributions. Cheers, NorthAmerica1000 23:46, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Old prod full
Please add old prod full or a similar template to articles when you de-prod them. I have already done Talk:Ark Sciences for you. Thanks. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  19:23, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I have added a note to the talk page explaining why I think the references, including the Daily Mail reference, do not by themselves support notability. I have taken the page to AFD.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  19:52, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * (ping) User:davidwr: Regarding old prod full: I'll keep this in mind, although note that it not required to do. There is no requirement at Guide to deletion or Template:Proposed deletion to do so, and at Template:Old prod full it states "This is a courtesy, and also a handy record of the rationales given by the proposer, seconder (if any) and contester." One matter is the ease in which prodders can simply type in "NN", sometimes without having searched for sources as suggested at WP:BEFORE, but those that deprod after, for example, finding and adding sources to an article, still have even one more hoop to jump through. Meanwhile, some prodders are already onto the next article, prodding under "NN" while not bothering to search for sources. I'm not saying that you do this, but it's not very balanced in terms of the workload, particularly for cases as delineated in my example above. NorthAmerica1000 21:36, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Bandy merger
I propose to merge List of bandy clubs in the United States, American Bandy Association, and American Bandy League into a new article titled, Bandy in the United States. These three articles are all short, with a significant amount of overlap. A single article could include all of the information contained in those three, and present a more robust and better organized view of the topic. Please discuss this proposal at Talk:List of bandy clubs in the United States. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:11, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Non-admin "no consensus" closures
Hello,

A question for you based on the Articles for deletion/Oakhill Christian School AfD closure as no consensus:

I may be ill-informed as to precedent, but from what I gather aren't controversial AfD closures supposed to be left to an admin to close (i.e. almost any active debate that would end in "no consensus")?

(WP:NACD): "Close calls and controversial decisions are better left to an administrator."

(WP:NAC): "Extra care should be taken if a closure may be controversial or not clearly unambiguous. With the understanding that the closure may be reversed, non-admins should generally avoid closing such discussions."

Not trying to give you a hard time here. I've never ventured a NAC so don't know precedent (but it's true I was disappointed in the no consensus decision). --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  |  03:15, 30 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi User:Rhododendrites: I take my nac closures seriously, so thanks for your inquiry. I don't view the closure as a close call nor as controversial. In my opinion, the no consensus closure is quite clear relative to the various arguments existent within the discussion. It's not particularly a close call because while AfD is not a vote count, the keep !votes significantly outnumber the delete !votes and the arguments for the article to be retained are mostly guideline-based. However, the opinions delineated in the many delete !votes are also guideline-based, which prevents a keep closure from being appropriate in this case. Both sides in the discussion have valid points, and ultimately there is no consensus for the article to be retained or deleted. Please respond at your convenience. NorthAmerica1000 03:29, 30 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Going back to look at the arguments, I think your rationale seems perfectly reasonable. Thanks for taking the time to clarify. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  |  03:39, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the response, and for your work to improve Wikipedia. NorthAmerica1000 03:40, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Shoe size
I got myself in a muddle reverting changes, can you please revert the "Shoe size" page to include the children's comparison size image (which I use frequently) in the "Shoe size comparison" section... many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brisbane1965 (talk • contribs) 13:40, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Brisbane1965: I recommend that you stop editing the article for awhile. In the revision history for the article, you have been removing content, which I reverted, and most recently you've made many sudden changes to the article. Your edits are unclear, and at this time you should discuss your ideas on the article's talk page at Talk:Shoe size rather than continuing to use Wikipedia's page reversion functions in this unclear manner. Thanks for considering this. NorthAmerica1000 14:14, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

My apologies. I was trying to revert all changes backwards to the re-inclusion of the Children's comparison image, but I inadvertently undid some of my own revisions. I will allow you to revert the page to a stable state, and now that I watch this page I can more closely follow the individual edits and more quickly respond to inappropriate edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brisbane1965 (talk • contribs) 14:21, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Your series of self reverts left the article at a stable version (revision 605394743). It may be better for a more experienced user to patrol this page, per the errors that you created on it when working to patrol. NorthAmerica1000 14:31, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
