Is there any good reason to why I was blocked with no prior warning? All I did was create my userpage. Is there any local policy here that says I can't? Also, did you forget a block message? I'm not a spambot. TCN7JM 08:28, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

This blocked user is asking that their block be reviewed:

TCN7JM (block logactive blockscontribsdeleted contribsabuse filter loguser creation logchange block settingsunblock)


Request reason:

There was absolutely nothing I did against local policy, and I was not warned before this block. All that I did was create my userpage and then go off to fix something on radioassay, only to find that I was blocked. This block makes no sense, and I wish to be unblocked.

 Done. The problem is that we have some people who come here and expect it to work like a social network. This is why we usually delete userpages without any indication that their owner will contribute; I hope you understand. — Ungoliant (Falai) 08:50, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

US counties[edit]

Hi there. If you are really serious on helping, we are missing very many (probably most) US counties (names of Interstate roads probably don't meet out CFI). SemperBlotto (talk) 09:50, 25 July 2013 (UTC) p.s. See Orange County as an example.Reply

Okay. I've started by creating Minnehaha County. If you could check the short entry and see whether or not I've missed anything or done anything wrong, that'd be great. Thanks. TCN7JM 10:12, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
I have created a more specific category: Category:en:United States counties. — Ungoliant (Falai) 10:27, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Oh, and we do include cities, so these can be linked to WT instead of WP. — Ungoliant (Falai) 10:28, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that's fine. It just needed a few minor tweaks. p.s. I have created Sioux Falls and Minnehaha though that last one might get deleted (fictional character). SemperBlotto (talk) 13:21, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
If you want I could import all three thousand some of them with a bot (or it's fine if you want to do it by hand and create more complete entries). DTLHS (talk) 21:12, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Well they're pretty basic entries. Importing them with a bot shouldn't really make them any less complete if they just say "A county in <state>. County seat: <county seat>". TCN7JM 21:18, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
<butting in>Well, importing them botwise would help with our battle with the French, but the point of doing it yourself is to gain some sort of job satisfaction. Also a human can link the headword properly (to an uppercase or lowercase word) and add etymology as appropriate. </butting in> SemperBlotto (talk) 21:22, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Moody County[edit]

Hi there. I was wondering if this is named for someone with the surname Moody rather than the adjective moody. Google doesn't tell me. SemperBlotto (talk) 20:57, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yeah. Apparently it was named for former South Dakota state senator Gideon C. Moody. I should have created that page instead, I guess. TCN7JM 21:04, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
