List of Virginia state routes
Hey, thanks for the help and the work you did. If you have more time later, a few things needed corrected in the edits you did. 3-digit shields (including suffixed routes) should be 25px in width, which makes them 20px high, the same height as the square shields. I don't have any time in the next few days to fix them myself. And I know you didn't add them, but while you're at it if you could change the 2-digit Interstate shields to 20px, that would be fantastic. Thanks for your help! --MPD T / C 05:27, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
No problem, when I do Part 2 of my updates I'll do that, too. --Tim Sabin (talk) 23:11, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

The
List of HOT and ETL lanes in the United States
Your recent merge was not completely successful. There are now two Current HOT lanes sections and two Future HOT lanes (including studies underway) sections. I cannot tell which you meant to keep and which you meant to replace. I also know if I make the edits needed, that ClueBOT will just revert them. So I will leave it to you. 75.69.0.58 (talk) 05:38, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads-up; I'll get to it today. --Tim Sabin (talk) 12:00, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Tim! Thanks for fixing my update on the Florida list, I wasn't happy with it either, but I just couldn't figure out a good way to say that... You said it great. Problem solved! Itstrh (talk) 20:39, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Washington DC Project
The other posters did not make successful counter-arguments to my post. I am going to ask for restoration of NOVA into the DC WikiProject. Replies need to be informed. Consensus is based on what is correct, argument-wise. The counter-arguments were not satisfactory. The first post of objection did not cite any argument. The second cited a fear of defining a metropolitan area, when in fact the US government clearly defines metropolitan areas.
Wikipedia:Consensus says "In determining consensus, consider the quality of the arguments, the history of how they came about, the objections of those who disagree, and existing documentation in the project namespace. The quality of an argument is more important than whether it comes from a minority or a majority."
Also, the first reply of my last post here was at 06:29, 13 October 2009 - I began adding NOVA to this project at 23:49, 14 October 2009 - A day and a half later, nobody replied.
Please see the project page. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:02, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
I should have waited maybe 3-7 days. Having said that, it is common practice to assume that silence means consent. If discussion is ongoing, or if another user reports dissatisfaction, then one has to go back and discuss. Wikipedia:Silence and consensus is just an essay, but it talks about silence and consent. WhisperToMe (talk) 12:07, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- "It does not say to go ahead and make the change before people have come to a consensus. " - While I felt that I leaped too early, if people simply don't respond after a reasonable amount of time, silence equals consensus. At that point there was no argument in the first post, and the second post did not take into account US government CSAs and MSAs, so there weren't any reasonable objections.
- Wikipedia:Don't revert due to "no consensus"is another essay, which explains that it is preferable to say "I revert because I object because of XXX," instead of saying "I revert because of no consensus"
- Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus_as_a_result_of_the_editing_process says "Consequently, you should not remove a change solely on the grounds that there is no formal record indicating consensus for it: instead, you should give a policy-based or common-sense reason for challenging it." - So when you do challenge an edit, you have to provide a reason for why the edit is being challenged
- You said: "I've waited 1 1/2 months before" - was this a result of an ongoing discussion? If so, this is different and distinct from a lack of activity. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:14, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. I think 1 1/2 months is very cautious - I say that is an excellent time frame regarding discussions of BLP issues and policy issues. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:12, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Arlington road length
Thanks for spotting that discrepancy. I changed the old email mileage to the county website ref. As a latecomer to the area articles, I tend to forget that the subject of Arlington is fairly well covered. Glad someone is keeping me honest! :) Student7 (talk) 17:56, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Albuquerque
If you believe it is outside the Chihuahuan Desert, you would need to make that argument based on sources. I found and added sources that say it is in. Dicklyon (talk) 17:30, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
- I just added that comment, I did not come up with the "fact". A statement that ist was outside of the Chihuahuan desert was there long before I came along. BTW - I am not the one that keeps reverting the in-the-desert change. I frankly don't care enough to be involved. --Tim Sabin (talk) 12:19, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Invite to Research Survey
Hi Timsabin,
I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We are creating a tool, called wikiFeed, that will help Wikipedia editors make connections between content from Twitter or RSS news feeds and Wikipedia articles. We are currently gathering data which will help us in the development process and would love to learn about how you consume news content and how it relates to your Wikipedia editing. If you would like to help, follow this link to complete a brief survey. Your feedback will help us create a better tool.
For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at [email protected]. Thanks for your time! RachulAdmas (talk) 15:52, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
