Meters

This is a user page. For the unit of length see metre. For other uses of meter or metre see metre (disambiguation).

This user has an alternative account named Meters too.

My alternate account User:Meters too was never used and is retired. I also maintain User:Metres, a doppelgänger account, which has also been used once for a non-confirmed editor test.

To Do

• Milton High School (Georgia) continue rewrite
• Port Chester High School have not been able to verify the many claims of athletic titles. New York State Public High School Athletic Association does not list tiles that far back (and may not have existed under that name. What is WAIC? Supposed titles not listed at New York State Public High School Athletic Association site, and appear not to be encyclopedic. Opened talk page threads for input before clearing section. Still seeing repeated addition of unsourced claims, 50-year-old dolour, attendnace date not in most recent source, etc.
• Steuben Glass Works list of designers: most have not articles, more thanhalf of the articles do not mention company
• finish backing out additions of school teams to previousclub field by 60.224.141.40 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and Dualipa95

• Maybe write an article about BTU Bentall, Taylor, Ulrich group
• Wild Mouse roller coaster update Belmont Park (Quebec) Wild Mouse. Find end date, confirm if wooden (I don't think that is correct. The Cyclone was wooden, but I believe Wild Mouse was steel.) Per http://cec.chebucto.org/ClosPark/Belmont.htm picture it appears that the original was wood, Remained until 1983 closure, but may have been a replacement (which may be why I remember it as steel.) Look for more pics. Brought in for CNE (not PNE) in 1957, firstin Canada but not first to operate.

Vimy Ridge is missing... check for others
• Strathcona High School Update and ref . Athletic championships 45 years unbroken city championships for Track, lesser but still impressive runs for other sports. get details on provincial championship, appears that provincials were not held every year so get details. Improve AP and CAP coverage. improve history wrt Old Scona being in original building but only after a ~2 decade break
• Riverdale High School (Quebec) update, expand with history, etc, section
• Is there a Ben Ito SPI or did his stuff just keep getting deleted as unrelated to Wikipedia? I notice that he's now using the Wikipedia sandbox [1] to host his strange papers. Not a problem as long as he's content to keep it somewhere where the bot periodically clears it. April/16 User:Therefore1212 and User:Consequently1212 sound like him again... using own sandboxes rather than the wikipedia sandbox

Socks/vandals

• user:Altocontrara the obscene image welcome message. I've seen at elast one other sock, but don't remember the name. No SPI that I know oi and not much point for such clear NOTHERE. This was user:NPC 00120009

• User:Meters/Ananny_socks still active July 2018
• User:Meters/marciano spammer this file is watched by an admin with a long history with this user. He blocks the spammer on sight so no need for an SPI. This is actually an LTA with legal consequences whose reports were deleted in a failed attempt to get him off the site.
  • one very old SPI Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/BoxingWear with 2019 activity, confirmed by Antandrus to be the same account
• user:Meters/Reese's hoax IP hopping hoax addition Reese's Pieces, Reese's Whipps and  Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Several more related pages, recently added Nondeterministic finite automaton Unrelated page, but identical hoax
• user:Meters/Scott City IP hopping, highly dubious history likely a hoax on Scott City, Missouri and Colon, Nebraska. More garbage content added to Hanahan, South Carolina by at least one of the IPs. Investigation had led to toher Ips and blcoked accoutns on other articles that appear to be the same user
• user:Meters/Jimenez-Cohen appears to be hoax additions about some supposed billionaire.
• user:Meters/Kate Beckinsale LTA LTA obsessed with Kate Beckinsale. Insists she had major roles in all of the Underworld (film series) movies and spin offs, and that no other actress has played the part of Selene (Underworld) even when Selene is voiced but a different actress, has only an archival cameo, or is played as a child by a different actress.

• Oldfields Hall Middle School unsourced middle school, no apparent notability. likely direct target but prob should go to AFD for confirmation since article is 9 years old.. Previously noted that one of buildings is a 16th century hall but seems that might make the building itself notable, rather than school?
• Weaponeering might be a possible article, but as is just an unsourced definition
• Hi's Eye student newspaper, one indep but dead source.]
• Judas Prada coach, a few games as an interim U coach, 2 seasons as an assistant, one ref (dead)

• Electronic Temperature Instruments COI company piece. Very littel in the way of independent refs to show notability
• Light of Christ Catholic Elementary and Junior High School just a junior high, and no sources other than the school's website. Unless there are reliable independent sources this should be redirected. See what I can find. Even if this is kept it needs to be trimmed of excessive non-encyclopedic content
• Removable heel couple of line of poorly written Mainly a coatrack to list manufactuerers. Clean unsourced ones out 2/19
• Avonite never been much but a bit of promo. Recent activity had left nothing but a one-liner and a list of links. Wait and see if they intend to write a real article 2/19
• Joshua Reznicow non notable BLP
• Bracket racing one minor source, full of cns from 2008

• Central Mall (Texarkana) one liner mall article. Has now been expanded, but not much there. seems to have closed.

Also a fourth similar page that is still being used User:Morriswa/Clinched highways/Interstates /My CD Collection /My Wanted CDs /My OCONUS travel etc
• PunchCAD one of a string of articles created by short-lived apparently COI SPAs, suggesting paid editing. No independent refs See:
  • Memphis Wood Fire Grills
  • Dalsin Industries
  • Pellet grill
• Automated conveyor roller condition monitoring interesting topic but poorly done, and probably too soon for an article. Currently a somewhat promotional article mainly sourced to dissertations, company website, and articles about startup. No response to attempt to contact author. Had some obvious copyvios that have been removed butI suspect more of it is copyvio.
• B. S. Sahay promotional article created by a series of SPAs (and likely COIs)
• Cross-resistance 2007 stub, never had even a single ref. Doesn't seem to have a real theme. A mixture of Cross-tolerance, Pesticide resistance, Drug resistance and Antimicrobial resistance.
• Northeast Film Festival look for independent sources for this
• two more by I'm on day 4 Io games Pitt County Board of Commissioners

New articles to create

Add Canadian ones (all of them as of March/17) to Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge when done

So... combined two schools into one existing school and renamed it. Is this new school or just a rename of an existing school? WH article treats it as a new school, and claims WH closed n 2016. A bit of PR wrt the renaming...

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover (Changi Airport Skytrain) is really badly named redirect to Changi Airport Skytrain. Similarly Adtranz C-100 (Changi Airport Skytrain) redirects there. There are probably a host of similar transportation article and redirects that should be evaluated
