Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hey sorry to bother, but would it be possible for me to get a rating on Port Morris? It’s been getting a lot attention lately regarding gentrification, and I want to "get it out there" so other editors can chime in and contribute. You seem super important so that’s why I come to you, TY! EricViking32 (talk) 00:35, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi: Just a heads up that a new deletion sorting page was created on 19 October 2015 for Disability-related articles, located at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Disability. Thanks for your work in performing deletion sorting on Wikipedia. North America1000 18:17, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
Also, a new deletion sorting page was created on 16 October 2015 for companies, located at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Companies. North America1000 18:18, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
On 7 November 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Program for Action, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Program for Action, a transportation proposal in New York City, was drastically truncated in the 1970s due to a lack of funds? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Program for Action. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Can you possibly help me fix the stupid s line template for the SIR to have the link for South Beach Branch, North Shore Branch and Mount Loretto Spur pages go to the pages I created for them and not the section on the Staten Island Railway page. Thanks.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 00:39, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi, could you assess the North Shore, Travis and South Beach pages when you have a chance? Thanks.
@Kew Gardens 613: Sure, I'd be glad to help with both of the above. epic genius (talk) 00:51, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Coney Island may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

In reverting carte blanche because you did not like our inline and section tags, you REVERTED CLEAR PLAGIARSIM. I and others are working on the bad sourcing of various sections. There is no tag-bombing, but a selective use of tags inline, to mark sections as we work our way through sections to check sources and remediate inaccurate souring. PLEASE TO NOT DO MASSIVE REVERTS. The material from two principle sources was used cut and paste. If you waste more of our time with mass reversions, I will mark the article as copypaste, and take it up to top Admins.
Now, out of respect I am going, one by one, to return your helpful edits. Please do the hard work and be similarly respectful in your edits. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 17:57, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

and you could have put {{refimprove}} on it. I'm sorry if I was rude to you earlier, but I felt that this was a real case of tag bombing, especially since you'd stopped editing for the day. epic genius (talk) 19:25, 12 November 2015 (UTC)Extended content |

This IP is highly persistent, and is now trying to remove the AIV report. Do you know any admins currently online who could block? Thanks for your help in dealing with this. GABHello! 13:34, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello TWL users! We hope JSTOR has been a useful resource for your work. We're organizing a cleanup drive to correct dead links to JSTOR articles – these require JSTOR access and cannot easily be corrected by bot. We'd love for you to jump in and help out!

Hello Epicgenius, thank you for your efforts to copy-edit large number of articles at high-speed. To make it easier for other editors to quickly see what might have been changed, please could I encourage copy-editing in a manner that does not involve introducing large-amounts of white-space diff-noise at the same time. For example by not adding extra spaces to {{cites}}
; not converting '…' ellipsis into rows of full-stops; and when wishing to join two paragraphs, perhaps only deleting one newline, rather than both. This would make any value in the edits, instantly more obvious to other editors. —Sladen (talk) 20:55, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

For your tireless work on updating and maintaining the November 2015 Paris attacks page. Keep up the good work! -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 05:26, 19 November 2015 (UTC) |
Even though this is key data, there seems to be no consensus on what figure to use, weekday average, daily over 365, total annual, monthly, or other. Sometimes infobox parameters will be misused for the figure that has been entered. But my actual question is when making those super-neat annual ridership tables that look like a Census history, what is the "official" data source in general? Such as for Miami Metrorail and Metromover do you just take the average weekdailies from the monthly tech reports and add it up and divide by 12? User:Comayagua99 did the most recent figure (2014) for Metrorail. Thanks. edit: and please tell me these figures go by calendar year and not fiscal year. B137 (talk) 00:12, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your review at Template:Did you know nominations/Jakarta Marathon. But can you clear your opinion, in one comment you said "ALT3 is more interesting than ALT2" but in the end you said "ALT2 is good to go". I think you may have written it by mistake. Are you sure that ALT2 is more interesting?--Human3015TALK 21:05, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Sup, would it be alright if I get an updated rating on The Hub and Longwood? Go ahead and clean up any mistakes you find, as you did the others I recently edited. I noticed a lot of outdated pictures on many of The Bronx's articles, so I may or may not take up the task of uploading some updated streetscapes of neighborhoods around the borough when I get time. EricViking32 (talk) 02:41, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
Why do you feel that Andrew Cuomo's directive to illuminate One WTC in France's Tricolour is "totally irrelevant," when it is actually exactly the opposite? This image and caption are placed in the "Government reactions" section, and therefore it would only make sense to include this fact. I thought that the reference is also excellent there. I am not going to revert this edit because of the 1RR restriction on this topic, but I would request you to explain (and possibly re-evaluate) your logic here. Best, Castncoot (talk) 23:03, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
On 27 November 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fordham Plaza, Bronx, which you recently nominated.
