Welcome, roadfan!
Hello, CycloneIsaac, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and ask your question there. If you are interested, there is already a community of users who are roadfans or who edit articles about roads, just like you! Stop by any of these WikiProjects—WP:HWY (worldwide), WP:AURD (Australia), WP:CRWP (Canada), WP:INR (India), WP:UKRD (United Kingdom), or WP:USRD (United States)—and contribute. If your interest is in roads in the United States, there is an excellent new user's guide. There is a wealth of information and resources for creating a great article. If you have questions about any of these WikiProjects, you can ask on each project's talk page, or you can ask me! If you like communicating through IRC, feel free to ask questions at as well. Here, there are several editors who are willing to answer your questions. For more information, see WP:HWY/IRC. Again, welcome! –Fredddie™ 18:34, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations...
... on opening up your new Wikiproject. If you need any help with templates, categories, etc., you can leave a note on my talk page. If you want, you can take a look at some of the advice I got before setting up WP:AURD - &. But one of the most important things to remember is that Wikiprojects are about people, not just project pages. If you can find someone equally passionate about the project and willing to contribute, that lightens the load/responsibility enormously, even if they don't share your opinion on all the issues you (collectively) encounter. A final piece of advice - we (at WP:AURD) used a bot to tag article talk pages for us, based on the category system. In hindsight, this was a mistake, as not only were buildings, people, statues etc. within the subcategories of Roads in Australia, but also the articles still needed to be gone through manually to give them correct assessment and importance ratings. Good luck on your endeavour to improve Hong Kong road articles! - Evad37 (talk) 01:42, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Nevada State Route 28, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Highway System (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Citation on Nevada SR 582
I am curious about this edit in which you cited the 2007 Nevada State Maintained Highways book as a reference for truncating the northern terminus of SR 582. A 2007 version of the book was never put online (I download these logs as they come available and check for new ones regularly), so I'm curious where you might have gotten that... In any event, you put an access date in the reference without a URL, which wouldn't be correct usage. --  LJ  ↗  09:12, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I requested for it online, and I'm sorry that I didn't know accessdates don't work for books without a url :S &mdash; CycloneIsaac – E-Mail 16:57, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not that the accessdate doesn't work, it's just that the accessdate is meant to signify when you last looked at an online resource (to show the date when it was known to be available online, since online links and resources can change).
 * Would you be willing to email the 2007 SMH book to me if you have it in PDF or similar form? --  LJ  ↗  19:24, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!
Hello CycloneIsaac, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck! , and  17:32, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing!  Admr Boltz  21:14, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 January newsletter
The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer, whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:


 * and were the first people to score, for the good article Tropical Storm Bret (1981) and its good article review respectively. 12george1 was also the first person to score in 2012 and 2013.
 * scored the first ITN points for 2014 North American polar vortex.
 * scored points for an early good topic, finishing off Featured topics/She Wolf.
 * scored the first bonus points of the competition, for his work on Typhoon Vera.
 * has scored the highest number of bonus points for a single article, for the high-importance Jurassic Park (film).

Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.

Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Your GA nomination of K-368 (Kansas highway)
Hello. I'm not sure why the bot hasn't bothered stopping by to let you know about my review, Talk:K-368 (Kansas highway)/GA1. I thought the article was a nice start but that it needed more depth to meet GA requirements. Please do consider renoming it if/when this issue gets resolved.

Your GA review of Delayed choice quantum eraser
CycloneIsaac, do you realize that the cleanup tag that you used as the justification for a quick fail of Delayed choice quantum eraser was added 19 minutes earlier? Also, it looked like a drive-by tagging, with no specifics about how it could be improved. RockMagnetist (talk) 23:01, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, I wasn't aware of that, I was looking through the nominations. Reasonably, I saw the tag, and I quick failed the article. For the tag, it makes sense because:

Many parts of the article are too hard for a general reader to understand.&mdash; CycloneIsaac – E-Mail 23:27, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The lead doesn't tell what the article is about in detail.
 * The introduction's first paragraph is possibly too hard for a general reader to understand...
 * There are lots of jargon across the whole article...which fails WP:TECHNICAL.
 * You would be doing the editors a favor if you elaborated a bit on that on the talk page. I agree that the nom was premature, but they have worked hard on it. RockMagnetist (talk) 23:32, 20 February 2014 (UTC)


 * How familiar are you with the various levels of difficulty within physics and within quantum physics? Why did you make a specious claim of all sorts of {{bs items being in the article? P0M (talk) 00:14, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * It wouldn't have mattered, Wikipedia is written for the general public, not just professionals. I'm just asking for the editors to make the article easier to understand...&mdash; CycloneIsaac – E-Mail 03:11, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The article was written to be understood by the scientifically literate, non-specialist reader of magazines such as Discover or Scientific American. The article uses not one single equation, and it is far easier to understand than Featured Articles such as Equipartition theorem, General relativity, Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector, Cyclol, DNA, RNA interference, Exosome complex, Group (mathematics), and Main sequence. The target audience for a Wikipedia article needs to be as broad as possible, but there are limits to how much a subject can be dumbed down. Why do you choose to review articles in which you have no background, no knowledge and no interest? Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 04:50, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * In case you would like to check the version of 6 february (excluded "Discussion"), would that be better understandable? (still excluding a "good article" nomination). It is quite different DParlevliet (talk) 08:46, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 February newsletter
And so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:


 * , a WikiCup newcomer whose high-quality scans of rare banknotes represent an unusual, interesting and valuable contribution to Wikipedia. Most of Godot's points this round have come from a large set of pictures used in Treasury Note (1890–91).
 * , a WikiCup veteran and a finalist last year, Adam is also a featured picture specialist, focusing on the restoration of historical images. This month's promotions have included a carefully restored set of artist William Russell Flint's work.
 * , another WikiCup newcomer. WikiRedactor has claimed points for good article reviews and good articles relating to pop music, many of which were awarded bonus points. Articles include Sky Ferreira, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus and "Wrecking Ball" (Miley Cyrus song).

Other competitors of note include:


 * , who helped take Thirty Flights of Loving through good article candidates and featured article candidates, claiming the first first featured article of the competition.
 * , who claimed the first featured list of the competition with Natalia Kills discography.
 * , who takes the title of the contributor awarded the highest bonus point multiplier (resulting in the highest scoring article) of the competition so far. Her high-importance salamander, now a good article, scored 108 points.

After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

NV SR 564 AADT
I don't have the time and resources at the moment to investigate further, but I'm pretty sure the 2200 AADT number for this route is misleading. It's an arterial roadway that connects to a major freeway interchange at one end. 2200 may be the average daily traffic at the entrance to Lake Mead, but isn't representative of the whole route. May need to dig deeper into the traffic count data for other count stations. --  LJ  ↗  05:33, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter
A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. , who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

WikiCup 2014 April newsletter
Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's, whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included, who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and , who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from, tiger from and The Lion King from. We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to and  for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.

192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals.

June 2014
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

1951 Hawaii cyclone
Hi! Recently, some edits you made to 1951 Hawaii cyclone used an outdated version of the cite journal template. It's no longer necessary to split the date into month and year; the month parameter has been deprecated; the entire date should now go in the date field, even if it is only a month and year (without a day). The change has been made in the RefToolbar interface; if you're using something else, please leave a note on my talk page and I'll see if I can get the developers to change the tool. Just a heads up for future edits! Thanks!&mdash; D'Ranged 1  VTalk  05:11, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
