Hi Epicgenius, a different topic from Wikipedia:WikiProject Chinese in New York City (although I hope that's going well) - do you know how to "crop" any given image from the Commons? If so, can you please outline briefly outline the steps? Best, Castncoot (talk) 02:23, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
As you know, there is a GA review. I am not sure if I will be able to singlehandedly get rid of all of the copy write violations. Whole sections of the article are just lifted from nycsubway.org. I have started to rewrite it, but could you please help? Thanks.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 23:18, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
Note to self: The review for Proposed expansion of the New York City Subway is located here. epicgenius (talk) 00:34, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi Epicgenius,
There are a few things I suggested for follow up before approving Trump Tower for GA. Please respond on the talk page for the GA review when you have the chance.
Thanks, Shaded0 (talk) 05:26, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
On 5 March 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article IND Queens Boulevard Line, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that construction on the 179th Street terminal station on the New York City Subway's Queens Boulevard Line was delayed for almost 20 years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/IND Queens Boulevard Line. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

The article Trump Tower you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Trump Tower 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.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article North Shore Branch 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 Shearonink -- Shearonink (talk) 08:09, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
Since you appear to be the main contributor for this article, I am informing you that it has been nominated for Good Article status by Kew Gardens 613 and that I am in the process of reviewing it here: Talk:Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue (New York City Subway)/GA1. It's mostly ship-shape, but there are a handful of minor things that should be observed. Jackdude101 (Talk) 3:00, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
RE: it's a sortkey. It appropriately shows up under the letter "E" in Category:Culture of New York City, rather than under "N")
Thanks for letting me know. Perhaps, we can clear up any future confusion with a comment. Comments can be formatted like this: <!--insert comment here-->.LakeKayak (talk) 20:06, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
It might not be needed. However, from my own experience programming, I think it may be a good idea. It was my first encounter of the sortkey and I had no idea what it was. Therefore, before I insert the comment, do you object? Thank you.LakeKayak (talk) 20:17, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
Done.LakeKayak (talk) 22:14, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited T (New York City Subway service), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Second Avenue Line. 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.

Thanks for your edits to Borough Park, Brooklyn. I am puzzled though by your choice of photo which purports to portray the neighborhood. I would hope you would consider some iconic views that are more representative of what this neighborhood is about, such as the New Utrecht elevated subway tracks, or the McDonald Ave tracks right around the corner from your photo; the Blythebourne post office; or the Maimonides Medical Center, just to name a few.

The article North Shore Branch you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:North Shore Branch for things which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Shearonink -- Shearonink (talk) 04:21, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
Can you help me more with this? I don't know how to remove the copyright violations any further.[1] Thanks.

Much thanks for improving on my edits to Fort Hamilton Parkway. Without your input, the article would have been deleted or greatly reduced in scope.(talk) 04:26, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Epicgenius. Thanks for your work on making more GAs. Today I found the opening date for the 207th Street (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line) leaving only the opening dates for the stations on the BMT Brighton Line in doubt. If possible, could you help me with this. Thank you.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 20:57, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Sunday March 26: Action=History Wiki-Hackathon @ Ace Hotel | |
---|---|
On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at Ace Hotel New York hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history. For this month, and following on the recent Art+Feminism campaign, we'll focus on building better edit-a-thon tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community. Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.
Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 05:14, 21 March 2017 (UTC) |
