WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter, December 2007

 The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter
Issue I - December 2007 Got any suggestions? - Add them here |
Welcome to the new WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! Until now, in spite of a decent number of members signed up to the WikiProject, we have had no regular progress updates or information as to how much of a difference our contributions are making. This monthly newsletter aims to provide an overview of all the work that is being done behind the scenes and to celebrate the successes that would otherwise pass by unseen. Any suggestions for future additions and general help with the newsletter will be greatly appreciated. |
As can be seen on the assessment page, we are so close to finishing off assessment. If all current members of the WikiProject assessed just 2 articles, the backlog of unassessed-quality articles would be eliminated. The vast majority of articles are currently assessed as stubs, which is probably to be expected as many contain an infobox and nothing else. Getting these up to start-class is incredibly easy, many simply need references and tidying up. Even if you have very little knowledge on the article subject, this task should be fairly straightforward and is the first step in raising overall article quality. The following articles reached B-class quality during November: |
The Amusement Park Portal is now automatically linked to from the roller coaster infoboxes. It's important to remember that we need to integrate our articles with those covered by the Amusement Park WikiProject. When working on a roller coaster article, it's always a good idea to ensure that there is a wikilink from the relevant amusement park article, otherwise no-one will even know the article exists! |
During November the WikiProject was joined by 3 new members, bringing the total number up to 49. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments. |
Just to get the idea out there, I'd like to propose a monthly article drive. With the poor state of most of the articles, it's unreasonable to suggest even a GA-drive, so a B-class drive would be more realistic. Any suggestions for January's article can be brought up on the WikiProject Talk Page. Suggested articles should be presently at start or stub class and have sufficient reliable sources available to work from. |
Thanks for reading, any feedback would be hugely appreciated! Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! |

Welcome!
Welcome to the second WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! December has seen some real progress in terms of bringing up the quality of roller coaster related articles on Wikipedia. Assessment and tagging of articles is almost completely done and efforts are now being focussed on quality and improving articles. This month also sees the start of the new B-class drive, a brilliant way to get involved with the WikiProject and achieve something together. |
|
Articles and Assessment
As far as assessment goes, the backlog from last month was cleared almost immediately after the last newsletter went out, almost single-handedly by Alton! A progress chart can be seen on the assessment page that shows we are slowly dragging up the quality of the articles covered by the WikiProject.
The following articles reached B-class quality during December:  • Magnum XL-200 • Maverick (roller coaster) • Nemesis (roller coaster) • SheiKra |
|
Amusement Parks Portal
The Amusement Parks Portal has been significantly expanded over the past month and is currently a candidate for featured portal. Any suggestions for featured articles and pictures can be put forward on their respective sections. |
|
Membership News
During December the WikiProject was joined by 2 new members, bringing the total number up to 49 after 2 inactive users were removed from the member list. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments. |
|
B-class Drive
This month's B-class Drive: Arrow Dynamics
So here is the first article improvement drive for the WikiProject, Arrow Dynamics. There isn't a huge amount that needs doing apart from the addition of references, formatting and a copyedit. For any outstanding contributions there are barnstars available which can be given to and by anyone! Any suggestions for February's B-class Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it. |
|
...and finally...
Once again, thanks for reading! As always suggestions and offers of help are much appreciated. |

Welcome!
Welcome to the WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! January has seen a number of milestones being passed in the WikiProject. We've achieved our first good article, brought a portal up to featured portal status and successfully collaborated together on the first Article Improvement Drive, amongst other achievements. Let's carry on with the good work and continue bringing up the standard of all articles covered by the WikiProject! |
|
Articles and Assessment
We hit a milestone in January with our first GA-class article, Speed Monster! This shows just how easy it is improve articles by including references and increasing readability. Collaboration has got off to a good start, with the first chosen article, Arrow Dynamics, improving enough to reach B-class. The following articles reached GA-class or B-class quality during January: |
|
Amusement Parks Portal

Membership News
During January the WikiProject was joined by 6 new members, bringing the total number up to 55. A very warm welcome to Etf, CPGACoast, RickMarkestein, Emackert, Onewayroad2home and Suttna08. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments.
A discussion is taking place regarding the best way to organise information about roller coaster records and the history of roller coasters. All members' opinions are welcomed; the discussion can be found here.

Article Improvement Drive
This month's Article Improvement Drive: Roller coaster
Why not start at the top?! The main article is already at B class and, with a little help, isn't too far away from GA class. Please see the collaboration page for further information. Any suggestions for March's Article Improvement Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it. |

...and finally... Once again, thanks for reading! As always suggestions and offers of help are much appreciated. |

Raika Dōmei
[edit]On this edit of yours: You surprise me. Which assertion is it that needs additional evidence? -- Hoary (talk) 15:07, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
I saw that there was no citation for the whole section, and felt that something should be there. I am not knowledgeable on the topic, but saw no sources for that section at all. Nathanhillinbl (talk) 15:10, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
- The section already had two footnotes; you're talking about a single paragraph. The paragraph consists of two sentences. The content of the first is unsourced but appears in any description of Raika Dōmei; it's a little like asking for a source for the assertion that Paris is on the Seine and is the capital of France (NB I say "a little"). The content of the second is amply evidenced by the list of exhibitions below, each precisely sourced, and by the list of books below, each with an ISBN and thus easily look-uppable. -- Hoary (talk) 15:23, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Agreed. Thanks for the clarification. Nathanhillinbl (talk) 17:46, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Chapta WP:CSD
[edit]{{helpme}} I placed a CSD temp on a page called Chapta, which appears to be a self-created page by an unknown artist trying to advertise. The author/creator of the article removed the CSD temp and continued to edit the page. Not sure how to report this person, or if my efforts were even reasonable.
Hi. It doesn't matter that they removed the tag; it had been tagged, and so was picked up and the article deleted. Thanks! -- Chzz ► 18:37, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, good to know! Nathanhillinbl (talk) 18:40, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Please explain your reason for the nominationof this AFD in detail. AFD is a discussion that is judged on the strength of its arguments. If you say something doesn't meet the guidelines without explaining why, your opinion will carry little or no weight. Other people can't mindread. You should be specific as to why you think it doesn't meet guidelines. - Mgm|(talk) 09:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Have done so!Nathanhillinbl (talk) 13:29, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Six Flags
[edit]Hi. I saw your recent edit to the article for Six Flags, and while I approve of the edit in and of itself, the summary description was a little puzzling. The template for the company infobox does have "Fate" as a field. It's meant to reflect what happened to a company, not what may or could happen. So, your edit was completely appropriate, since Six Flags has not entered bankruptcy, and even if it did, the "Fate" field would only apply if the company dissolved because of it (such as in a Chapter 7 filing) or wound up being acquired by another company and merged into their portfolio. For example, if Cedar Fair decided to buy Six Flags and merge their parks together under the Cedar Fair name, then the "Fate" field would be filled with something like "Acquired by Cedar Fair."
I may well be misinterpreting the intent of your description, since it sounded like you had an issue with the term "fate" being used, so forgive me if I read that wrong. Again, the edit was just fine. Thanks for keeping an eye on it. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 21:05, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Amusement Park WikiProject
[edit]Hello Nathanhillinbl. Recently, the Amusement Parks WikiProject was reformatted and revived. As part of this process other related WikiProjects (such as Disneyland, Herschend Family Entertainment, Universal Parks & Resorts and Walt Disney World) were also revived and have now become part of the Amusement Park WikiProject as task forces. If you would like to remain listed as a member on these WikiProjects please re-add your name to the appropriate lists at the participants page. All names currently on the list have been cleared. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Thank you for your cooperation, Themeparkgc Talk 08:24, 6 November 2010 (UTC).
