User talk:Souperman
Deleted old stuff so that this is actually my talk page (and a bit more recent), not that I think too many people will have much to say - my paltry contributions are minimal in the world of wiki, though I am getting better. Souperman 06:23, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

HCTRA
[edit]Thanks for cleaning up the article about the HCTRA. I knew it wasn't Fort Bend County Toll Road in Harris County, but I didn't know what it was called. I've noticed we have edited a lot of the same articles regarding Texas toll roads. Keep up the good work! (Dustimagic 01:22, 1 December 2005 (UTC))
Question
[edit]Is it possible that I know you? I graduated from Southwestern University about three years ago; you'd probably recognize the format of my wiki signature as comming from the format of Southwestern's email addresses. millerc 04:13, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
My revert
[edit]It was a recent changes patrolling accident. I apologise.--Conrad Devonshire Talk 08:35, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
If Ted has had non-trivial cover in local press, I'd advise adding references (and URLs if possible) to the article. Well referenced articles are almost never deleted. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Please review the debate on this article for deletion and provide your opinion please: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shelley Sekula-Gibbs. Thank you. --Getaway 22:19, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
MoE updates :)
[edit]Thanks for going through and finding all the margin of errors in Texas gubernatorial election, 2006... it makes the polling section look great! ... just wanted to say thanks, that's all. :) Utopianheaven 03:27, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
re: "snarkiness"
[edit]I hope you're not offended. I didn't even know it was your edit. At any rate, it was only one word (and not even that bad, at that) and I just got through reading some anti-freeway vitriol but probably could have worded my edit summary better. Speaking of improving articles, maybe you could take a quick look at Westpark_Tollway#Westpark_Tollway_.28Harris_County.29. I'm trying to understand the relevance of the second paragraph to the article (but mostly the last sentence of that paragraph). Does it seem like "No Rail on Richmond" POV-pushing? I've never heard of the proposed University Line as being the same as any potential commuter line (which is not even in the planning stages) on Westpark Drive, so this material seems out of place. I'm at a loss at how to improve it because ... maybe I'm a bit tired too. Thanks. Ufwuct 20:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Userbox Migration
[edit]I thank you for fixing some userboxes on user pages, but I do ask that you be careful as to what you change them to - the Mac OS X userbox I had on my page does not equate to card games, last time I checked. --Souperman 20:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry! I fixed all of them by bot except about 10 which I fixed by hand, and I completely screwed up the ones I did by hand :-/. I've fixed all of my other mistakes now. Thanks for letting me know! —Mets501 (talk) 23:43, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Spring Branch ISD question
[edit]Hi Souper, I've been admiring your work on the SBISD district & campus wiki pages. I have a question you may know the answer to. The old Spring Branch High School -- where was/is it located? Thanks for researching all the district history for us -- very interesting! Timotheos 19:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- So it's where School of Choice is now, on Westview? Interesting! Thanks again. Timotheos 19:12, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

An important letter
[edit]Dear roads editor,
You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.
This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.
After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.
The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.
In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.
For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.
In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.
All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.
In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.

USRD Inactivity check and news report
[edit]Hello, Souperman. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:
- Please update your information at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants, our new centralized participant list. Those who have not done so by October 20th will be removed.
- There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.
