Talk:Steel Vengeance

message: Hello,
I was just wondering if we should include the likely chanced that Mean Streak will be getting the I Box Treatment similar to Twisted Colossus and The New Texas Giant. I do believe including this is logical, However, I will need to find a good article to back this up (Which I can get). But I don't want another disaster like the Tower Of Terror article that I added so I would like know if this should be added.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marth The Hero King (talk • contribs) 15:03, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I cleaned up recent additions that covered this topic. We can mention it with appropriate sourcing, but it needs to be very brief and generalized like it is now. I imagine it won't be too long before we get a confirmation by the park. Remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which favors a long-term approach, unlike a basic talk forum that thrives on breaking news. --GoneIn60 (talk) 16:56, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Anybody who opposes the article being moved to the new name once the ride is announced should air their grievances here other wise the article will be moved once the name is revealed. MitchellLunger (talk) 18:50, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Just make sure we have the statements about the new name added to the article itself with proper references. Then move the article to the new name. Also don't forget to fix links from other articles like Cedar Point, and update their links as well. There is a link over to the left of the page called "What links here" that you can click on and see what other articles have the old links. --GoneIn60 (talk) 21:55, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moving Article  

message: I don't think it should be in the article. Maybe WP:NOTNEWS applies? Doesn't seem like there should be a only section about one minor incident, which doesn't really contribute to the article. Don't really need a whole subsection for a small event like that. Thoughts? Hawkeye75 (talk) 06:32, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: In the short history of the revamped ride, the incident (though minor) is a significant part of the ride's history. Other roller coaster articles often have incidents mentioned as well. WP:NOTNEWS doesn't apply here, as that policy is founded on the principle of excluding trivial details mentioned in insignificant events. This wasn't some trivial detail or insignificant event. It caused ride closures, a limited capacity for several weeks, and forced the manufacturer to revisit the design/operation of the loading queue. --GoneIn60 (talk) 13:19, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

text: Since this is the only incident thus far, it probably doesn't need to be sectioned off in its own subsection. I've modified that and also trimmed unnecessary details out of the description shortening the paragraph. --GoneIn60 (talk) 13:32, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Opening Day Incident really necessary?  

message: Some of the information stated under the statistics box is incorrect. KingShuffler (talk) 00:15, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. L293D (☎ • ✎) 00:53, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

text: Based on your recent edit attempt, it appears you are trying to modify the speed. I want to stress that the cited RCDB source states 74 mph, which is a secondary source that is often used, especially when sources disagree. If you have another source that says something else, we can discuss it, but it most likely won't override RCDB. --GoneIn60 (talk) 03:45, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 20 June 2018 

message: Steel Vengeance’s trains are named Blackjack, Digger, and Chess. The article mistakenly Chess “Wild One”, Sipriceaz (talk) 14:33, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Did you look at the source? The trains are named after fictional characters “Blackjack” Chamberlain, Chess “Wild One” Watkins and Wyatt “Digger” Dempsey. The statement in the article correctly lists the nicknames. --GoneIn60 (talk) 08:52, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit needed in “Characteristics” 

message: I implore all of my fellow mature editors to please be vigilant regarding this matter.  As of today, Sunday, December 2, 2018, there has been an inordinate amount of vandalism occurring on various pages.  Some of it has been happening on various Cedar Point roller coaster pages.  If you see something clearly incorrect, or what looks like obvious vandalism, please revert it back to the original content?  I just cleaned up the page for Steel Vengeance, which had a rather disturbing amount of vandalism.  Apparently, these vandals have nothing better to do, than go around defacing pages as they see fit.  Wikipedia is here for everyone to enjoy, but when vandals are abusing the opportunity to edit a page, it creates frustration & disharmony within the community.  It's a shame when honest editors like myself feel obligated to almost police these pages, making sure nothing had been done to them.  So, as I said, if you see something wrong, please correct it.

thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: Hi there,
Since the first of July, Steel Vengeance doesn't have the most inversions on a hybrid coaster. Untamed in Walibi Holland (by RMC) was opened with 5 inversions. 
As the page is locked to prevent vandalism, I thought I'd leave a comment.
Best regards from the Netherlands,
F Producktions (talk) 21:45, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: True, but the only mention of having the most inversions is preceded by the comment "Steel Vengeance broke 10 world records when it opened." These records are not expected to last forever. As written, the section on World Records remains correct.—JlACEer (talk) 00:23, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Untamed (Walibi Holland) has more inversions 

message: Can someone put the records that are still held by Steve, including the ones lost by iron gwazi 174.207.163.110 (talk) 16:29, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: First, keep in mind that this is not an article about records in general, so talking about Iron Gwazi here probably doesn't make sense. Second, what exactly are you looking to do? Can you provide some examples (and reliable sources that support what you're trying to do)? --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:33, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
