You might want to give me a good reason for this revert? Did you take the effort to click on the link of Christa Luding? Just check her medal record in both Olympic Winter and Summer Games. Besides that she was world champion in track cycling and in speed skating. So please add
or some better phrase to the article again. Thanks. -- BTW, this was not an edit requiring "good faith", my contributions are always serious, substantial and based on cited sources. You rather control edits manually than shoot too fast with this automated tool. --80.221.207.252 (talk) 15:56, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
Sunday August 17: NYC Wiki-Salon and Skill Share | |

You are invited to join the the Wikimedia NYC community for our upcoming wiki-salon and knowledge-sharing workshop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Afterwards at 5pm, we'll walk to a social wiki-dinner together at a neighborhood restaurant (to be decided). We hope to see you there!--Pharos (talk) 15:58, 4 August 2014 (UTC) |

- your edits and those of the I.P. address in your same location in NYC are not constructive. Example: Compare your version to the last good edit of June 6, 2014. The 7-ton "permanent sentinel" granite monument inscriptions are no longer with the pictures as they should be. The pictures in the Gallery are not formatted correctly and are not displayed correctly, as they were as of June 6. I'll put back correctly AGAIN and please do not come in as an I.P. address and vandalize. If you continue to do non-constructive edits you could be banned from editing.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:34, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:21, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kew Gardens Hills, Queens, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Parsons Boulevard. 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.

The VisualEditor team is currently working mostly to fix bugs, improve performance, reduce technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. You can find on Mediawiki.org weekly updates detailing recent work.
The biggest visible change since the last newsletter was to the dialog boxes. The design for each dialog box and window was simplified. The most commonly needed buttons are now at the top. Based on user feedback, the buttons are now labeled with simple words (like "Cancel" or "Done") instead of potentially confusing icons (like "<" or "X"). Many of the buttons to edit links, images, and other items now also show the linked page, image name, or other useful information when you click on them.
<ref>
tags) are now made through the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" menu, including the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" (manual formatting) footnotes and the ability to re-use an existing citation, both of which were previously accessible only through the "Insert" menu. The "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-referencelist-tooltip⧽" is still added via the "Insert" menu.The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. Your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted. Support for upright image sizes is being developed. The designers are also working on support for adding rows and columns to tables. Work to support Internet Explorer is ongoing.
The Editing team will be making two presentations this weekend at Wikimania in London. The first is with product manager James Forrester and developer Trevor Parscal on Saturday at 16:30. The second is with developers Roan Kattouw and Trevor Parscal on Sunday at 12:30.
Please share your questions, suggestions, or problems by posting a note at the VisualEditor feedback page or by joining the office hours discussion on Thursday, 14 August 2014 at 09:00 UTC (daytime for Europe, Middle East and Asia) or on Thursday, 18 September 2014 at 16:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas; evening for Europe).

As someone who has edited the article Asian American this year, I am seeking your input on a proposed change to remove a reference to epicanthic eyefolds. This topic has prompted discussion in 2009, 2010 and most recently in 2013.
There's a fine line between being WP:BOLD and subverting WP:CONSENSUS. Given the history of this topic, I'm hoping that a robust discussion, for the record, would improve the article whether this reference stays or goes. Ishu (talk) 13:50, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
In reverting the edit about the West and East Bronx instead of fixing the minor error, you reverted it to include the much larger error the the West Bronx is 1/8th the size of the East Bronx and took out a bunch of internal links to Bronx neighborhoods and reverted them to plain text. What is the point of that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.250.80.193 (talk) 02:21, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
They are about the same size. The Bronx River pretty much bisects the borough evenly (the East is a bit bigger). The entire South Bronx is part of the West Bronx ... a fact that folks in the northern part of the West Bronx really tried to de-emphasize after the really bad years in the South Bronx in the 1970s through 1990s. I think the edit I've made satisfies your concerns. If it does not, please just make the necessary edits rather than reverting.

Oh, I just realized how much of a genius you really are, with the code in your userpage? And when typing this, I just realized that your username contained the word "geniuss" in it. ΤheQ Editor Talk? 16:46, 18 August 2014 (UTC) |
Why do you only want to list Orthodox congregations in Overland Park when anyone who really knows the area realizes that the a Reform population is much larger? Are you one of those Haredim who doesn't recognize Reform asJews? You clearly know very little about Overland Park. Have you ever left Brooklyn? I am about to send the "corrections" you made to the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle, which is published in Overland Park. I should have done that months ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apace361 (talk • contribs) 13:43, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Telling me that I did not read various proposed references regarding West End after I discussed them in some detail on the talk page is a personal attack. Please comment on content and if you wish to address me personally, only in a civil substantive and constructive manner, please visit my talk page. Thanks. SPECIFICO talk 17:39, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Epicgenius, thanks for the content additions, although I don't believe 922 passengers is supported by the source you used; it instead appears to be the number of passengers listed for Yonkers.--ɱ (talk) 22:16, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
(←) OK, cool. I'll begin formatting it for the article tomorrow.--ɱ (talk) 03:06, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi Epicgenius. Are Template:NYCS Platform Layout IRT Pelham Line and Template:NYCS demolish, both of which are unused, still required? If not, I'll nominate them for deletion. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 06:42, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
I've reverted your edits on both the F and G train articles, respectively. I mean we've had many weather-related shutdowns, minor derailments etc, and none of them are mention here on Wikipedia, are they? We're not going to mention every last one of them, are we? JoesphBarbaro (talk) 17:53, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
...stop combining street articles unnecessarily, and without discussion beforehand. Your behavior is becoming disruptive, and if you continue, I will have to bring it to the attention of the noticeboards. BMK (talk) 00:53, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
BTW, You should probably consider not making image and layout adjustments, they are not your strong point.
(And of course you "stalked" me -- you admitted to it in an edit summary on this very page. You know full well that is the case, so I presume that you're posturing for your talk page audience. Do I have to take the time to search back in this page's history to find the edit?) BMK (talk) 15:39, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
I'm trying to learn to make better image adjustments through trial and error; if it's out of place, I re-adjust it.
That edit summary was nine nine or so months ago... Epicgenius (talk) 17:20, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
BTW, edits can't be "mostly" indiscriminate, that's like being a sort of unique or a little pregnant - I'm either reverting your edits indiscriminately or I'm not. I'm not. BMK (talk) 19:31, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
I noticed your move to Bill Thompson (comptroller), and you are correct, he is not a place, but for that matter he is not the Comptroller, either, any more. "Comptroller" is not what he does for a living, it is just one of the public offices he has held. He is, however, still a "politician," and it is typical to have a more general phrase like that in a title. But it can't be Bill Thompson (politician) because there is already a Bill Thompson (South Dakota politician), Bill Thompson (Ohio politician) and Bill Thompson (Wyoming politician). So I think it would make sense to follow the existing pattern and move this to Bill Thompson (New York politician). Neutron (talk) 18:47, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
