NOTE: After an incident on Internet Relay Chat on January 17, 2009, please do not talk to me about any personal things as a personal caution. Thanks for your interest.

New Jersey Route 158

Please clarify the following statement in the article:

The upper-level was to have a clearance of 18 feet (5.5 m) and there was to be a 230 feet (70 m) long drawbridge in the center. The upper level was to be used by the new passenger line and the lower level was to be used for the freight line of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

It seems to me that the drawbridge was in the lower level (that suggests a statement in the following paragraph of the article). How does the clearance fit in; that is it the clearance between the river and the upper deck seems unbelievable – there would not be place for the lower deck. Is it the clearance between the two decks or the clearance between the river and the lower deck? --Matthiasb (talk) 16:12, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Things are ok. Just been really busy in the heart of tax season. You know who has had a good couple months, but it's always day to day there. Why aren't things good on your end? Wiki drama? Hope it works out. I'll get posting some pictures again soon too. --Airtuna08 (talk) 17:54, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:2 things I wanted to tell you

Thanks for bringing those issues to my attention. I will continue to refrain to do GA reviews for the time being. As for the NJSCR articles, I will try to find other sources. I can add citations to the state statutes and can try adding historical information from maps. I have a couple of maps of NJ from circa 1970 but unfortunately do not have an extensive collection of old NJ maps. If you or anyone else on Wikipedia has access to old maps, it would be helpful to use the information from the maps as a source for the articles. Dough4872 (talk) 15:30, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My remissness (is that a word?)

I am so sorry...I never even saw the January message (don't ask me how I missed it). Road pictures was not something I was gonna do in snow and slush, and last Fall I was finishing my Masters, so other stuff got in the way. But Spring has finally sprung in Syracuse (the crocuses are a-blooming), and I don't have to watch basketball any more this season :(.....so, I will definitely get out there and get them! I'm actually in FL for a few days right now, so it won't be before next weekend at the earliest, and you know how iffy weather can be in Syracuse, even in the spring! You still need the St. Joes pic, too, right? I literally live 1/2 mile from there......again I'm so sorry...that one I have no excuses for not getting!

WikiCup Newsletter

20:43, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Delivered for the WikiCup by GARDEN at 20:43, 31 March 2009 (UTC). Queries to my talk.[reply]

Portal:Finger Lakes

I made some changes to Portal:Finger Lakes/DYK, changed the max per set from 3 hooks to only 2. This increased our total number of completed sets from 7 to 11, and we only need one more hook for 12 completed sets of 2 hooks each. (Makes for more dynamism in portals that don't have as many hooks due to narrower topics, I did this recently at Portal:Gilbert and Sullivan as well.) I will probably work on creating an article for that 12th hook soon, and then we are probably all ready to go for a portal peer review. Will keep you posted, Cirt (talk) 22:59, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

blocked

I've blocked you for disruption to the project. Meanwhile, if you need help, please ask. Gwen Gale (talk) 14:48, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I asked nicely to desysop or block me peacefully, not to totally flip out. I guess I deserve it then.Mitchazenia : Chat Trained for the pen 14:51, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We cannot desysop you. Try m:Steward requests/Permissions. —Wknight94 (talk) 14:56, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that. I am just saying that I wanted a discussion of peacefulness. Maybe I was a little too serious on the header, but I wanted people to understand what was wrong here.Mitchazenia : Chat Trained for the pen 14:59, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is already done. He's been emergency desysopped.--Scott Mac (Doc) 14:58, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mate. Go have a shower and then (presuming you're old enough) have a beer. Then get offline and stay offline for a week. Have you considered the merits of a playstation. Seriously, there's more to life than wikipedia - don't hang about to watch the car wreck - go and stay gone. (I wish I would.)--Scott Mac (Doc) 15:06, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am 18, can't :| - the problem is I said things calmly. I am sorry for the header on the post. I am just really upset, and I wanted changed calmly. I guess I wrote the header too literally.Mitchazenia : Chat Trained for the pen 15:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, look there's no harm done. This is a virtual project not reality. Thing can get dramatic here, but then later you realise they don't matter. However, there are times when you know that wikipedia is not good for you - it is hurting real life and real relationships and becoming a rival to reality. That's the time to quit. Sometimes quitting for a few hours will do, sometimes longer, othertimes people need to say "my life is better without this". Seriously, switch off your computer for at least 48 hours and then reassess what works for you. If wikipedia makes you miserable, quit.--Scott Mac (Doc) 15:14, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you do decide to come back, and you can promise not to repeat this, an admin may unblock you and you may be able to request restoration of your bit. NonvocalScream (talk) 15:18, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration request

I have posted a request to the Arbitration Committee to remove your admin bit, at least until matters settle down. Experience shows it can be better to take a break early than push it to the edge and destroy your reputation here, and the problems you noted in your posts sound major ones for you.

Please read the post; I hope it helps. You can reply by email to any clerk or arbitrator, or here, with a post to go on that page. I hope you find life easier and manage to take the break you need and come back eventually, much more relaxed and settled, and with less stress. See WP:RFAR#Request to consider removal of admin access: User:Mitchazenia.
