Talkback
Take a look at the Wing Coaster talk page, I left a message there. --Dom497 (talk) 20:55, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
WP AP newsletter
I saw your post on WP: AP's talk page so I came up with a rough template of what the newsletter can look like, its the old WP: Good Articles template I used to use in October so I just changed it up a bit to fit with this WP (I haven't changed the text).--Dom497 (talk) 03:16, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Geez, I forget to post the link to the rough template. Let me know what you think.--Dom497 (talk) 17:07, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- It's obviously hard to read with the black background but from what I can read, it looks like a good format.--Astros4477 (talk) 17:11, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- How can the background be changed? It's hard to work on with it being black. Also when are we thinking about distributing the first release?-- Astros4477 (Talk) 22:17, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- Any thing that has the colour code #000000 is black. Change that code to what ever colour you want and it will get rid of the black. Also, I was thinking we could aim for March 1 (Q2) as that gives us a month but if we need longer June (Q3) would be fine. I only have one more exam tomorrow and the rest of the week off so I will have a lot of my time to be online where I can start working on the newsletter.--Dom497 (talk) 00:24, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
- Q1 would be from January 1 through to March 31. Q2 begins on April 1. etc Themeparkgc Talk 01:03, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Article request
Hi. I'm not sure if you take article requests, but would you be able to tackle Geauga Lake? I don't have the time myself to tackle it but would like to see it become a GA. Wizardman 17:09, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- I've had it in the back of my head to get Geauga Lake to GA status someday. Last winter I was able to promote Cedar Point to GA status so I think I could do the same for Geauga Lake. I'll start looking into it soon.--Astros4477 (talk) 17:14, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
A brownie for you!

Ride Logos
I started a discussion on User talk:GoneIn60 after he moved a ride logo from the infobox of Texas Giant with the explanation that using a photo was the current trend. I would be interested in your opinion.—JlACEer (talk) 17:32, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
FLC
The FLC was getting close to the two-month mark, by which time we really need to see some evidence of community support to keep a candidate up. There was only one support and continuing source-related questions. Under the circumstances, I felt that a consensus to promote the list wasn't going to be reached at this FLC, and that's why I closed it. Hopefully this makes sense. Unlike FAC, we have no required waiting time before a renomination, although I'd suggest that you clear up the most recent source queries before nomming it again. So when you clear up the remaining issues, feel free to bring the list back for another try. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:50, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
- There were only two references issues. I addressed one of them, the other shouldn't be a problem but I'll be glad to comment on it if it's brought up again.--Astros4477 (talk) 04:10, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

On behalf of WP:CHICAGO, I would like to thank you for your editorial contributions to Jason Kipnis, which has recently become a GA. --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:50, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
notable amusement rides
What are some notable amusement rides besides the WindSeeker at numerous Cedar Fair parks, roller coasters, and first rides? I want to know? And is the Solar Flare thrill ride at Galaxyland notable? I need to know other notable amusement rides besides the WindSeeker at numerous Cedar Fair parks, roller coasters, and first rides. Please tell me and leave a note on my talk page. --Starship9000 (talk) 01:21, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

how to earn the Coaster Barnstar?
I wonder how I am supposed to earn the Coaster Barnstar becuase I have been improving and editing numerous roller coaster articles such as:Superman: Ultimate Flight , Manta (SeaWorld Orlando),Big Dipper (Geauga Lake), and Volcano, The Blast Coaster so how do I earn the Coaster Barnstar since I improved these 4 articles? Please do leave a message on my talk page if you have anything. --Starship9000 (talk) 14:27, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
- Making more improvements to articles would help. Maybe once you get more familiar with Wikipedia, you could try to get an article to Good article criteria.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 20:25, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

roller coaster articles
Is there any roller coaster articles I should improve? --Starship9000 (talk) 21:40, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Take a look at Operation B&M for some articles.--Dom497 (talk) 21:45, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
- Just look at Bolliger and Millard and tell me which roller coaster articles I can improve? --Starship9000 (talk) 22:54, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
- For beginners, any article that is below B-Class. If you think your up to the challenge to get an article to GA-Class, then edit any article that you can find reliable sources for to get the article to Good Article status, though I suggest you first get used to the format of roller coaster articles and start of nice and easy (edit stub-class/start-class articles).--Dom497 (talk) 00:18, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
- Would I earn the Coaster Barnstar if I get a article to good status? --Starship9000 (talk) 03:09, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
- Barnstars are not something you should expect to get for doing something. They are given out by users who would like to share there thanks (in a way). Look at me, with all the articles I've improved/written, I've never gotten that barnstar.--Dom497 (talk) 13:32, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
Big Dipper (Geauga Lake)
Hello,
In regard to your comment to us about the Big Dipper at Geauga Lake - That was a first edit made to Wikipedia by my middle school age son, who is a roller coaster enthusiast. His and our knowledge of the Wikipedia collaboration process is definitely at a novice level. At any rate we discussed this and the necessity of finding multiple sources. My son's assertion was that the Big Dipper was demolished (rather than standing but not operating) but we subsequently found that the news stories supporting his assertion were all in the future tense and even found a TV news story that the Big Dipper had been saved from demolition. However we also see from that article that it is to be dismantled and put into storage. So on a surface inspection by my adult eye I see conflicting reports which would lead me to need either firsthand knowledge or a full chronology of the news stories to set them straight. Lacking the motivation to do this myself, I'm sure my son will research it and enter the Wikipedia collaboration process with a keener eye to verifying and researching sources as well as documenting edits to articles written by others.
We do appreciate your patience and your article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.98.242.201 (talk) 14:36, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hello, thank you for explaining everything. The situation of the Big Dipper is tricky. It has been set to be demolished several times but it has never happened. I visit Wildwater Kingdom often (the water park located adjacent to Geauga Lake) and I know for a fact that Big Dipper is standing but not operating. In a recent news article, it shows video of the Big Dipper still standing. Many of us on Wikipedia would love to help him and get him a better understanding of how Wikipedia works.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 14:54, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
- I actually added in the article "It is currently Standing but not operating". --Starship9000 (talk) 16:45, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
SheiKra
Hello Astros4477. Is there anyway's I should improve the article SheiKra? --Starship9000 (talk) 15:42, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'd suggest that you try to find referees for the article.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 18:22, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
- What do you mean by that? --Starship9000 (talk) 18:14, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- Whoops, I meant to say references.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 19:31, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

SkyScreamer
Hello Astros4477, is the SkyScreamer article ready to be nominated to good status since it now has references in the table of the installations section of the article? If yes, I will nominate it to good status. --Starship9000 (talk) 21:33, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
How to earn a barnstar?
How do I earn a barnstar? I really want to earn barnstars. --Starship9000 (talk) 02:05, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- Don't rush it. It takes a while to understand wikipedia. I've been here a year and there's still stuff I don't get sometimes. You'll come to understand it more and you'll get more involved in creating and promoting articles. Keep up the hard work.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 02:08, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
File Finding
Hey, can you try to find this photo on flickr? It is likely copyright infragment and it needs to be deleted. I tried looking for it but couldn't find it. Also, if you don't mind, try to find the other 2 images that Starship uploaded as those need to be deleted to.--Dom497 (talk) 03:25, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- I actually brought this up with an administrator a couple weeks ago. He said he would notify someone on Commons but never got back to me. They are all copyright infringements, I don't even think they are from Flickr. I think he just uploaded them straight from the Internet. I'm going to try to find the discussion.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 03:34, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- You can see the conversation at the bottom of this page.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 03:39, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Done I've tagged the remaining files as copyvios. Easy way to find images is to go to Google Images and click on the little camera icon on the right hand side of the search bar. Copy and paste the direct wiki URL (i.e. this, and not this) and it will generally find the image for you. The copyvio template at Commons can then be used.

SkyScreamer nomination
Is there anything I need to add besides the references in the installations table to get it to b-class? I already added references in the table. --Starship9000 (talk) 16:45, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
