Medway
Hi,
I'm going to revert your edit to Medway. I would suggest to you that "conurbation" covers the area and that "unitary authority" does actually refer to the authority, not to its jurisdiction. If you disagree on reflectio,n feel free to reverse the revert. Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 12:56, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
- Unitary authority refers to Medway Council, so Medway is the unitary authority's area. This is the standard phrase used on most of the other unitary authority articles. Conurbation is a good word to use but I also feel that as Medway is a unitary authority area, it should be noted so in the lead. Rcsprinter123 (post) @ 14:48, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Symmes Township map
(From User talk:Rcsprinter123/Archives/41.)
Hi, the locator map you recently drew for Symmes Township, Hamilton County, Ohio, omits part of the township. As seen in this earlier map, the township also includes a disconnected section to the south. This is just one of many discontiguous townships in Ohio. Also, Fairfax withdrew from Columbia Township a few years back, but it still shows up in this map. Would you mind correcting these maps? Thank you! – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 08:04, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- I have now updated those maps, are they correct now? Rcsprinter123 (tell me stuff) @ 19:42, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- The maps are better now. They're still a bit rough at full size, though. (Also, Remington is part of Symmes Twp.) Have you considered sourcing boundaries from OpenStreetMap (Columbia Twp., Symmes Twp.) instead of TIGER? The Census Bureau intends its boundary data to be suitable for statistical purposes but not necessarily consistent with actual municipal boundaries. In well-mapped areas, like Southwest Ohio, OSM boundaries are more accurate and up-to-date. I suppose I could do it myself, but to maintain consistency with your images, what was your process for generating the maps from TIGER data? – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 10:22, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- I'll amend Remington. I will look into using OpenStreetMap data, but I am not too familiar with using it so I'll have to figure out how to use it for a whole county and its subdivisions. Rcsprinter123 (talk) @ 11:27, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to High Peak Buses. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Charles (talk) 10:33, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- @Charlesdrakew: I'm obviously already an established user, so you don't need to bother giving me the templated message. The source includes information on bus routes which visit the respective towns, thereby confirming the change added by the IP. Also, I wouldn't count a reversion as an addition as I was only supporting the initial writer of the sentence, rather than researching it myself. Rcsprinter123 (deliver) @ 14:57, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi - you accepted my redirect request but didn't create the redirects. Why is this? Ollieinc (talk) 22:20, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
- The pages are salted to prevent creation, so I couldn't do them. Rcsprinter123 (constabulary) @ 22:41, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
- Also, your archiving of the page: thanks for helping, but I always leave a thread until 18+ hours after reviewing before archiving so that the requester gets chance to check whether their redirect was accepted. Because I perform the archiving at roughly the same time each day, it's easier to coordinate. It's also easier if I can follow my routine without assistance, so unless I'm on holiday the archiving of that page is looked after by myself. Rcsprinter123 (chat) @ 22:50, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
- Cheers. I've asked the admin who last deleted both pages to create the redirect. Ollieinc (talk) 22:55, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day
Small correction to the entry Dysmetria
Sorry if this is not the correct place to post a message. I corrected the etymology of this word because it was wrong and it made no sense. From ancient Greek, Dys- means something wrong, while metros mean length, distance. The medical term Dysmetria was introduced by Schiff and Luciani in the 18th century and this symptom was described in detail by the British neurologist Gordon Holmes (The Croonian lectures on the clinical symptoms of cerebellar disease and their interpretation. Lancet 1922; 100(1): 1177-1182; 1231-1237; 100(2): 59-65; 111-115). It refers to voluntary movements which are longer of shorter than they should be, and for this reason they overshoot or undershoot the target. The correct etymology is, in my opinion, very useful to understand and remember the nature of this symptom. I am an active researcher in the field of Physiology of the cerebellum, so that I could contribute more to some entries: please let me know if I can help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ftempia (talk • contribs) 18:48, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 June newsletter
After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's Godot13 (submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C,
Casliber (submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.
The round saw this year's first featured portal, with Sven Manguard (submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to
12george1 (submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from
Figureskatingfan (submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from
Cloudz679 (submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of
Sven Manguard (submissions).
The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
