Thanks for your efforts to recategorize and correctly categorize the Great Basin geography articles.
Categories
I suggest that you look at Wikipedia:Categorization and the related subpages before you create categories. Grouping things that are named after something else, as one example, is not considered defining and those categories will get deleted. You probably need to look at Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates since it appears that the categories you are creating are better as a list or a template, if the information needs to be kept at all.

Meadow Valley Wash
Howdy Hike796...First:
Whew....!..I am glad I didn't notice this days ago before I got started on Category:Great Basin Divide border landforms of Nevada.
I was just looking at my watchlist and looked at the Ranger Mountains, and "File:Coloradorivermapnew.jpg". I put the map on high resolution-(which isn't very high). Here are the results: 2 items:
The maps used at Great Basin Divide have an error. (and before you get all excited, i'll explain). (It also means that I followed the mountains in SE Nevada incorrectly. I was also working on the NE Nevada section, so I didn't Perceive in my mind the error.)
- 1–The File:Coloradorivermapnew
has the White River wrong.(It is correct but discontiuous, and ignores the parallel/twin watershed just east(M Vall W)) (Had to RE-EXAMINE the map)..The White River does flow south from the two RESERVOIRS in the White River Valley. It parallels and is West of the source of Meadow Valley Wash 2 valleys east, endorheic Cave Valley (Nevada), then Meadow Valley Wash has origins west from Lake Valley (Nevada)-(i.e. "Patterson Wash") and east, ......at the south of the Wilson Creek Range. The White River (Nevada) has the BETTER map blow up.(I JUST found it.) The lowest course of the White from Pahranagat Lake-(Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge) is on the maps as the Pahranagat Wash.
- 2–So the problem is
SORRY, changing definition an "area",that [see White River(NEV) map] that it is a "twin watershed White River Valley, westerly and Meadow V. Wash & Valleys" AREA-(two separate Watersheds-but (Parallel)-(origin: Lake Valley (Nevada)(I'll NOW do THAT article, first).. easterly. Consequently that region of the Great Basin Divide is somewhat subjective. NOT having seen the "White River"-Article, I thought the divide crossed at the south of Pahranagat Lake, (but then I ignored M. Valley Wash. .....) --I see now both have to be taken into consideration for SE Nevada.
Any suggestions"?-The definitive east side of "Great Basin Divide" is the East of the Ranges adjacent east to Meadow Valley Wash. What to do with the White River?
(M.Valley Wash has no Reservoirs, and.. the White River article says the river is discontinuous.)(even if one takes the Great Divide Basin at "south of Pahranagat Marshlands", the entire (continuous)Meadow Valley Wash has to be considered--(from HotSonoranDesert, southwestArizonaUSA...Mmcannis (talk) 21:50, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- No important Typo's.. It is obvious (to me) The Great Divide Basin map is using south of Pahranagat Lake, and SIMPLY ignoring Meadow Valley Wash...Mmcannis (talk) 21:57, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
After doing a lot of Arizona stuff, (landforms, etc.) I ended up at Piute Wash & Piute Valley and Eldorado Valley... I have recently done the ".svg" maps (w/ Geoboxes), so I have travelled much further than just the articles. Fish Lake Valley was one of the articles that was for that....
So, I have bigger fish to fry... and sorry that I got confused with the PUSHPIN for Spring Valley, ---for some stupid reason I thought it was a valley at west Las Vegas, obviously it was (somebody's JOKE,..or an honest mistake)...At any rate I had been adding (endorheic valley-items) into Central Nevada Desert Basins plus I had seen "Steptoe Valley"...(in other places-doing a lot of valleys lately).. so I finally concluded yesterday it was somebody's ERROR... (And found the problem in the article to fix it.)
Here's my olive branch and meditation... I think you'll find that the Great Basin Divide comes from the southeast Spring Mtns, crosses north of endorheic

Hi; it's been brought to my attention (and I have been noticing myself) that you have been in a bit of an edit war across a number of pages with User:Mmcannis. Can we slow things down, and stop the back and forth? You two need to discuss things on the talk page instead of just endlessly reverting each other. If you keep it up, you are both in danger of being blocked for disruptive editing. Thanks, Good Ol’factory (talk) 20:34, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

redundant categories
In what was is Category:Categories named after valleys different from Category:Valleys? Or Category:Categories named after landforms from Category:Landforms?? NB, also, the narrow scope of the terminology "valleys" excludes some articles which are nonetheless valley-based, e,g. Category:Okanagan Country and Category:Nicola Country. But aside from that issue, I just don't see the point of a category about valleys, and a category about categories named after valleys. What am I missing here?Skookum1 (talk) 04:33, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- They're redundant.
Although I'd bet that the first cat you mentioned might actually be Category:Valleys of Nevada.Shannontalk contribs 04:41, 5 November 2010 (UTC)- They are not redundant. A category is a category, an abstract concept, a valley is a valley; rivers run through valleys but not through categories. talk) 10:07, 12 November 2010 (UTC)]

Sockpuppetry case
Your name has been mentioned in connection with a
USGS
Defined USGS units like the Delamar and Dry Lake Valleys basin are not likely notable and hence should not have articles and definitely not a category. I strongly recommend that you create a list article for the larger units if you this these need to be included. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:50, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Hike796; I'd recommend that you take Vegaswikian's advice about categories. We're having trouble with categories you are creating repeatedly being nominated for deletion and being deleted, so it's not productive for you or those who are nominating them. I appreciate that you're trying to expand USGS information in Wikipedia, but I too think that the best way to go about this would be the creation of list articles, since they are of questionable notability. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:52, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Category:Pahrump Valley. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Categories must be defining for the articles included. These USGS definitions are not defining.

- Hike796, please respond here. You're putting yourself in danger of being blocked from editing because you're being unresponsive to the concerns of other editors. Good Ol’factory (talk) 20:36, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Block
I have seen enough from you now that I regretfully have to block you for your behaviour. It is quite obvious that these anonymous edits are yours. I'm not sure if you were trying to be anonymous so that you could get away with being incivil, or if you just forgot to sign in. Regardless, comments like "Does this Vegaswikiuser really think such dim claims are valid", "More lack of critical thinking", "Geez, how dim are you folks gonna' be?", and so forth are not appropriate because they are
The block will be temporary, lasting only 2 days, but when it expires please remember to (1) be civil and (2) to respond to concerns of other users when they approach you on your talk page. If you continue acting how you have been acting for the past few weeks—by ignoring users when they approach you on your talk page and then anonymously attacking them, I think it's inevitable that you will be blocked for a longer period of time, and perhaps indefinitely.

- While deleting someone's vote at a voting process is definitely not allowed, I'm not sure this block was appropriate. Good Ol'factory, Couldn't you have at least warned Hike796 first? The block first, ask questions mentality, while appropriate in extreme situations, has gotten a few admins in trouble recently. Dave (talk) 18:49, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- He's been warned multiple times before, and he wasn't blocked for deleting someone else's comments. He was blocked for repeatedly ignoring the inquiries of others and for incivility. Good Ol’factory (talk) 20:40, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
