I don't know what extent you did stuff with the WDW monorail s-line templates, but to me, it seems even more confusing now. In my opinion, most of your changes have made the information present even more confusing, not less. By saying that the line is circular, it is implied that it only travels in one direction (making the "One-way operation" part useless). Also, TTC is not the Terminus of any of the lines. In fact, there are no terminus-es (don't know the plural) on the line, because they are all circles. There are no ends to circles. The only place that could be considered a terminus in normal operation would be the maintenance shop, since a monorail could not continue moving forward through it. I'd like to have a discussion about this before I try to undo everything again (I was in the middle of doing it and thought this would be better). Elisfkc ( talk) 07:00, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for participating in and supporting my RfA. It was very much appreciated. Don't think I'll run for president though. Hawkeye7 ( talk) 21:15, 1 February 2016 (UTC) |
Randolph Street station (South Shore Line) and related redirects seem implausible to me; what was your reasoning behind creating them? I ask because I'm gearing up to purge all the old (NICTD) redirects and I ran across these. Best, Mackensen (talk) 15:23, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi there, Epicgenius. Don't mean to rush you, but just wanted to refresh your talk page with this section title as a gentle reminder to please keep the image procurement issue from Union Street on your radar. Again no rush, just simply a reminder. Thanks again! Best, Castncoot ( talk) 22:33, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
Why move Dempster to a title with a disambiguator? The only other Dempster station already has a disambiguator in the title (-Skokie) and the Evanston station has a hatnote leading to the Skokie station. Disambiguation in the title is entirely unnecessary. Lost on Belmont 3200N1000W ( talk) 01:13, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Interstate Highway System, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Interstate 88. 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.

Wednesday February 17, 7pm: WikiWednesday Salon and Skill-Share NYC | |
![]() ![]() You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our evening "WikiWednesday" salon and knowledge-sharing workshop by 14th Street / Union Square in Manhattan. This month, we will also host a Newcomer's Wiki Workshop for those getting started on the encyclopedia project! We will also include a look at our annual plan and budget ideas, and welcome input from community members on the sorts of projects the chapter should support through both volunteer and budgetary efforts. We welcome the participation of our friends from the Free Culture movement and from educational and cultural institutions interested in developing free knowledge projects. We will also follow up on plans for recent and upcoming editathons, and other outreach activities. 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 talk this month will be on use of Wikipedia press passes for photographers.) Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! -- Pharos ( talk) 00:28, 11 February 2016 (UTC) |

Hello,
Your recent edit of Death of Victoria Snelgrove does not appear to be constructive.
Could you please explain why have removed the existing text? -- Hindustanilanguage ( talk) 03:55, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
The feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters. Legobot ( talk) 04:25, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
Epicgenius, please do not ever move nomination templates, as you did with this one. It always messes things up, and I just had to fix this one beyond the fixes you made. Please see T:TDYK#How to move a nomination subpage to a new name, which basically says not to. Thanks. Also, by adding the ? icon as you did in the review, you effectively drove away potential reviewers; I've renewed the call for a full review. BlueMoonset ( talk) 21:14, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
Not sure what your goal is with Los Angeles area train stations, but please review reliable sources and page discussions before moves. You created a nonsensical redirect. Metrolink and Metro are completely different systems (confusing, I know). "LACMTA" is rarely used; the common abbreviation for that system is simply "Metro". Obviously, that term on its own is still ambiguous, so earlier discussion established a consensus of "Los Angeles Metro" as the general disambiguator. If you'd like to propose a consistent disambiguation for LA Metro (not Metrolink) stations, I'd suggest the already-established "Los Angeles Metro". --Regards, James( talk/ contribs) 19:28, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
Can you take a lot to the additions I've made to this article? I have a good English level but I'm not native. Thank you in advance Doblecaña ( talk) 15:18, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
BracketBot. I have automatically detected that
your edit to
Gravesend, Brooklyn may have broken the
syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. 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.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot ( talk) 03:04, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
When you change the leads of train stations to omit the word "station," although that might be okay in many instances, it is not OK when the name of the station is also the name of something else, as in "Palms" (a neighborhood) and "Pershing Square" (a city park). Do you agree? BeenAroundAWhile ( talk) 08:14, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Hey @Epicgenius
Just wanted to let you know that I'm going through all of the Metro Rail articles and replacing the {{LACMTA station}} with your new Allen, for example. Not sure what's left to do, but on the station list, there is quite a bit of LACMTA to replace. I just wanted to give you a heads up!
Thanks!-- TJH2018 ( talk) 22:52, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

01:54, 19 February 2016 (UTC)Is there any policy about it? I think it should be discouraged especially when it is a bullet list, where anybody can add their company without proper references. My opinion is that only releveant companies that occupy a lot of floors can be mentiones in the body of the article, not in a separate section. Doblecaña ( talk) 09:11, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
Since you were a participant in the discussion at Talk:Palms station#Palms station, you may be interested in the RfC at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Lead section#Request for comment: Identification of train or railway stations in the lead. --Regards, James( talk/ contribs) 17:49, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm having issues with this one guy who keeps reverting my edits even though I'm providing sourceful information and links, but nonetheless, let's worry about that later. Take a look at the (W) line page, on the top it says that when the (W) is going to come back, it will replace the (Q)'s current service pattern. I did the same thing on the (Q) line page, but just swapped it to say that the (Q) will terminate at 57 St - 7 Av temp when the (W) returns until the Second Av Subway opens. Can I get your take on this? AahdTahar ( talk) 15:55, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Now, you can also rearrange columns and rows. Click "Move before" or "Move after" to swap the column or row with its neighbor.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface.
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources.
Many local feedback pages for the visual editor have been redirected to mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
You can now re-arrange columns and rows in tables, as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location.
The formula editor has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols.
The single edit tab project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. ( T102398) Initially, the "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences:
The visual editor uses the same search engine as Special:Search to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers would like to know how well the visual editor works in your language. They particularly want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect the following languages: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Thai, Aramaic and others.
