User: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

  • add external refs to Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School. See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Pierre_Elliott_Trudeau_High_School for what I found on my first pass
  • check articles by SPA (and possible COI) Exteahans71 for notability. If more sources cannot be found some of them may need to be deleted.
  • check image uploads by Alx 91 for invalid non-free use uploads of living people. Seems to have a very long history of image problems.
  • probable COI Ballooningmedia‎. Nothing but spammy image and link additions. Has uploaded at least one image as own work that appears on a copyrighted page for a balloon company. Check response to COI notification. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ballooningmedia https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Castrol_Oil_Bottle_Inflatables.jpg https://kubicekballoons.co.uk/blog/giant-replica-inflatable-oil-bottle-for-castrol-oil

  • check on user:Kevin4735 and commons photos.

  • 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 colour, attendance date not in most recent source, etc.
    • cleaned up, IP has not returned to talk page since range block
  • Steuben Glass Works list of designers: most have not articles, more than half of the articles do not mention company

  • Timeline of Canadian history needs new entries, particularly War of 1812
  • La Salle Institute school cruft

  • Prix du livre politique bad translation of a French article. It was a verbatim copy of a Google Translation. i redid it, but article is still of somewhat dubious notability. Needs independent sources since most o the coverage is not independent (a group named a day, created a prize, and awards the prize on that day)
  • COI deletions on Henry I. Miller, talkpage thread, May need COIN
  • Les Cartooneurs Associés and associated pages. All unsourced, some possibly not notable. May 2016 redirected to parent, but that is not sourced either.
  • Fried dace with salted black beans rewrite - sources, OR, synth
  • Wando High School unsourced and low level athletic achievements

  • Fremont Christian School rewrite material that is still too closely paraphrased
  • Template:High_Schools_in_Edmonton redo Edmonton schools template. Christian school is now part of Edmonton Public as an alternative school. Might be best to create an alternative schools subsection to separate all of the alternatives schools from the regular ones... religious schools, First nations, School for the Deaf, Argyle home schooling, etc. Victoria still a problem since it is both a designated community school (10-12) AND an alternative school for the arts. 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
    • requested speedies on these two sandboxes: unattributed copies and web hosting Aug 2021
