Wow, I'm impressed. There's only ONE bridge being replaced in the WHOLE STATE of New York! How DID you determine this? - Denimadept (talk) 18:38, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi there, Thanks for for looking at the Leo Baeck Institute New York page. The original page title, "Leo Baeck Institute, New York" reflects the common usage, because the LBI has three major locations (NYC, London, and Jerusalem). The new title, "Leo Baeck Institute (Manhattan)" is not used. Could you revert the page move please? Thanks, Kevin Kschlot1 (talk) 14:10, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
Yeah realized as soon as I reverted, was going to revert it back but you did already. Sorry and thanks. Golde62 (talk) 14:27, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
It seems you reverted it back to state he is a politician. Golde62 (talk) 14:48, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
Saturday March 5, 10am-5pm: Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon @ MoMA | |
---|---|
You are invited to join us for the MoMA Art+Feminism edit-a-thon on Saturday, to support the expansion of Wikipedia's coverage of women in the arts. We encourage both people new to Wikipedia, and people who have experience editing online, or have joined us for past edit-a-thon events. This is by far our biggest event of the year (over 200 participants in the last edition), and every extra hand counts, so please join and volunteer to help us engage new communities!
And bring your interested friends and colleagues! For those outside of the city, or unable to join on Saturday, check out Art+Feminism regional and global events as well. --Pharos (talk) 21:49, 2 March 2016 (UTC) |

Hello, Epicgenius. Donald Trump (Last Week Tonight), an article you either created or significantly contributed to, has been nominated to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook and the discussion here. You are welcome to participate! Thank you. APersonBot (talk!) 22:55, 2 March 2016 (UTC) |
Hey again, I was wondering why hasn't the platform layout for all of the Sea Beach stations been changed to this since the N won't return to it's normal service pattern until 2018?
G | Street Level | Entrances/Exits |
M | Station house | to entrances/exits, station agent, MetroCard vending machines |
P Platform level |
Side platform, trains do not stop here | |
Northbound local | → No regular service | |
Northbound express | ← toward Astoria – Ditmars Boulevard (next stop) | |
Southbound express | → No regular service | |
Southbound local | → toward Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue (next stop) → | |
Side platform, doors will open on the right |

Wow, this has become such as mess. Hopefully Donald J Drumpf will be merged to Donald Trump (Last Week Tonight). Then we can close these multiple delete/merge/redirect discussions and just focus on the LWT article itself. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:18, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
I forgot to turn the "Drumpfinator" back off before that edit. It's been on and off and on and off all day. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:11, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
I don't see any discussion there about redirecting Trump to Drumpf. Please refrain from adding that redirect to Trump's article, unless/until there is consensus to do so at his Talk page.CFredkin (talk) 21:24, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
I just now noticed that among the "bling" you have collected over the years you display two 100000 Edit Awards. I find it necessary to bring to your attention the fact that only one of the awards is the "real deal" 100% authentic solid gold genuine "not to be mistaken for a fraud" 100K Award. The other is a counterfeit plaster imitation forged fake and a pseudo synthetic plastic pretender. One deserves a place on your mantle while the other is no better than a door stop. The fact that you display them together is an affront to the now 360 other recipients of the Award. Do with them as you will, but let us not deceive your visitors that they are the same. One is a treasure - the other is a fraud. Buster Seven Talk 07:38, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
Greetings:
Your recent effort on reformatting the galleries appears to me to be, in my opinion, a step backwards. As a single example please compare the Cable Images gallery before and after your modifications. Under Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, even some of the images are only partially displayed and the gallery layout is extremely inconsistent from row-to-row. The rightmost image on my 13" Macbook Air (pixel count equivalent to a Macbook Pro 15") caption text is displayed as:
Unwindi
ng from
its spool,
a strand
passes
through
severali
launch
guides.
This as the image is half the width of other items in the row. Also, no images have frames as were present before your modifications.
Would you care to comment, modify, revert, or defend this work?
Sincerely,
Leonard G. (talk) 04:46, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
I am running OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite).
I would suggest a complete revert as a complete initial fix with small scale experiment and testing. (In any event, I really don't see the benefits or utility of the changes at all). Leonard G. (talk) 14:11, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
I reverted your two recent edits after your rollback, restoring all of the source from the original before any of your edits, this as the galleries were still very irregular. Could you please tell me just what problems you are trying to fix? It (literally) took me and several other editors years to get the galleries layout and general article flow correct. Is it possible that you are having problems with a mobile device (other than your MB Air)? I do not doubt that your edits are in good faith, so lets work together to address your concerns from a discussion of perceived flaws or a desire for improved functionality and/or aesthetics.
Best wishes.

Thanks for uploading File:Bernhard Goetz.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:53, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
Wednesday March 16, 7pm: WikiWednesday Salon and Skill-Share NYC | |
---|---|
You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our monthly "WikiWednesday" evening salon (7-9pm) and knowledge-sharing workshop at Babycastles gallery by 14th Street / Union Square in Manhattan. We will include a look at the organization and planning for our chapter, and expanding volunteer roles for both regular Wikipedia editors and new participants. We will also follow up on plans for recent (Art+Feminism!) and upcoming edit-a-thons, and other outreach activities. We welcome the participation of our friends from the Free Culture movement and from all educational and cultural institutions interested in developing free knowledge projects. We will also vote on nominations for the global Wikimedia Foundation board. After the main meeting, pizza/chicken/vegetables and refreshments and video games in the gallery!
We especially encourage folks to add your 5-minute lightning talks to our roster, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! (One likely talk this month will be on the Wikidata project.) Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 18:10, 10 March 2016 (UTC) |

Nobody died in that case, why did you move it into a deaths cat? Gaijin42 (talk) 17:48, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
Hey, I've been doing a lot of edits on this page, and I'm not sure that the title "Calculation" is really right. My plan was that this section is really an overview, and not a section for detailed calculations. Notice that there are formulas in a different section of the article, I think 4 in other sections, and not in that one, so I guess it's not really a calculation section.
You've created some headings under calculation, which are specific to some transport modes. There are lots of these (at least a dozen), so if we retain these headings, I (or someone) will need to fill out the article with the others, such as ferries, commuter rail, freight rail. I'm happy to do this, but it will make the article much longer....
I've only just started making changes to Wikipedia so I assume there are many rules that I am not familiar with, and I am happy to be guided. I plan to update several pages or more on transport related topics, I was planning to fix them one at a time. My next target was to be Loading Factor, and then after that maybe Grade Separation. The number of different topics on transport is very large, and there is seemingly a never ending stream of pages to update. I would love suggestions and assistance along the way...
I wrote to another one of you guys (powerusers?) about the changes I am making. As I said to him, I am attempting to contribute to what I think is a worthwhile project, and I would appreciate any comments on how to build trust with you guys. 203.9.151.254 (talk) 04:12, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Political positions of Ted Cruz, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Interventionism. 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.

…at KateWishing's Talk page, because you registered a complaint about my article tagging at my Talk page. Your particular objection was to the state that I left Brighton_Beach at the end of an editing session. The essay reply at Kate's page regards the value of a cooperative writing context that takes seriously both annotating a substandard document (article)—where substandard is defined by in-place, agreed upon policies—during its progress toward becoming a document of real quality, and the importance of being honest with readers regarding poor document quality in the interim. These are the bottom-line aims of placing, and leaving tags, and this is discussed in the wall-of-text at Kate's Talk page. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 07:55, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Please do not substitute templates prior to launching a TfD, as you did for {{Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016}}. Doing so can influence the result of the TfD and be difficult to undo in some cases, since the only way to track where previous transclusions were is user contributions. It didn't matter much here, and it's not a big deal - just something to think about in the future. ~ RobTalk 16:56, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Verrazano–Narrows Bridge may have broken the syntax by modifying 3 "{}"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.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Second Avenue Subway you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Sainsf -- Sainsf (talk) 06:20, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your work on this article. I've requested a copy edit for the article, and I hope you will consider nominating it for Good status when you think it meets criteria. :) ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:48, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
The article Second Avenue Subway you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Second Avenue Subway for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.
