This is for editing the lead of Comet Ping Pong-- I wrote the original article before the controversy and a lot of it afterwards, but it's now a GA in part because of the work that you did on it. Thanks so much for your contributions for it. Nomader (talk) 15:32, 2 February 2018 (UTC) |
I don't think you did anything wrong. In accordance with Wikipedia:USSTATION you properly renamed some station articles in Connecticut. One I think you got wrong is Parkville station (CTfastrak) since "State" should be the first disambiguation, which would bring it in line with Category:Railway stations in Hartford County, Connecticut. Some have been done, but Category:Shore Line East stations should be cleaned up to match other CDOT stations. I just don't have enough time to get involved in anything major.

Hi. Sorry about reverting New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad to a version that had infringed on copyright (Talk:New_York,_New_Haven_and_Hartford_Railroad#Copyright_problem_removed). I did not realize that was the case. Makes sense why that version was superior in its content, language use and structure, which is why I initially thought it made more sense to restore it. The current version is choppy and cobbled together. I propose the old copyrighted version be used as a template for a full rewrite that does not plagiarize ("The material may also be rewritten, providing it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source"). I am a legal copyrighter and editor for a television network in Santa Monica and regularly paraphrase and rewrite large bodies of text for a living.

Nice expansion of the Canarsie article. I just reviewed the DYK. Looks good -- just some hook-related details to sort out when you have a sec. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 23:41, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
On 3 February 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article New York State Route 878, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that at 0.7 miles (1.1 km) long, Interstate 878 is the shortest interstate highway in the U.S.? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/New York State Route 878. 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. 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.

I have reviewed this. Thank you for nominating it.
I am still a novice reviewer. I know you're an expert with DYK. Would you check my review with particular emphasis on how a reviewer should suggest an alternate hook and whether the reviewer should choose a hook if two are originally submitted? Vanguard10 (talk) 05:05, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
Regarding this edit: [1], just wanted to say that while rather abstract and very local in area, that this diagram does fit he definition of a map. It's a broader definition than you think. And indeed the image does have a scale and directions, making it more of a map than some others, even if it leaves out details like local roads. That said, calling it a diagram is also accurate, so there's no need to revert your edit (or the move of the image itself at commons), but I felt the need to point it out that it wasn't exactly needed either, so that you understand that maps are a type of diagram. oknazevad (talk) 14:40, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Epicgenius – I’m a freelance journalist. I would like to write an article profiling you and your contributions to Wikipedia, especially those entries relating to the NYC Subway system.
Here are some similar profiles of Wikipedia editors for your reference by other writers: Justin Knapp and McChizzle for the Honda Ridgeline. I recently wrote a fun piece about Curling on Wikipedia for Vice Sports.
I think yours could be a really fascinating story because people are benefiting from your subway articles every day. I’d be happy to do the interview here on your Wikipedia page, or we can conduct it by email (stephenbharrison at gmail dot com) or by phone, whatever you prefer. Thank you!

Restoring the GA nominee templates with a page parameter of 2 (or incremented by 1 from whatever the page parameter had been previously) was the right thing to do for those six quickfails, epicgenius. Indeed, I was about to do that myself when I noticed that you'd already taken care of it. It would be extremely unfair to send those six to the back of the line, as I noted: they should retain the seniority of the date when they were originally nominated, since those were not appropriate reviews.
