RC patrol

[edit]

It's a known fact of RC patrol that sooner or later, you're going to screw up. If I've reverted something incorrectly, please let me know. I'll have a look at what you say and if it turns out to be my fault, I'll remove the warning. If it's not, I'll provide reasons why I reverted your edits. :)

[edit]

I take a few photos for Wikipedia every now and then, have a look at my gallery if you like.

The Resilient Barnstar
For your good grace in restoring an editor's good name number, both by reverting an error, and by offering a sincere apology; you may have turned an anon into a long-time positive contributor to this project. Good show. Unschool (talk) 09:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
CVU Anti-Vandalism Award
I graciously accept your Barnstar, with honor my friend. Us rollbackas take those personal attacks from the anons with pride. In the same spirit, your awesome rollbacks and anti-vandalism efforts merit this award. Cheers! Maxis ftw (talk) 01:49, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Picture of the Day

[edit]
Hell Gate Bridge
The Hell Gate Bridge is a railroad bridge in New York City, United States. The bridge carries two tracks of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and one freight track between Astoria, Queens, and Port Morris, Bronx, via Randalls and Wards Islands. Its main span is a 1,017-foot (310 m) steel through arch across Hell Gate, a strait of the East River that separates Wards Island from Queens. The New York Connecting Railroad began construction of the bridge in 1912, and it opened in 1917. The main span, a two-hinged arch flanked by stone towers on either bank of Hell Gate, was the world's longest steel arch bridge until the Bayonne Bridge opened in 1931. It is one of the few rail connections from Long Island, of which Queens is part, to the rest of the United States. This panoramic photograph shows the main span of the Hell Gate Bridge. The photograph was taken in 2023 looking northeast from the neighboring Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, with Wards Island on the left of the image and Astoria on the right. A tugboat tows a barge in the foreground towards the Hell Gate Bridge.Photograph credit: Rhododendrites
