Longueau-Boulogne RDT

Longueau–Boulogne railway
176.0 Abbeville Réseau des Bains de Mer to Dompierre-sur-Authie to Le Tréport-Mers

Abbeville needs a tweak. The Réseau de Bains de Mer had a metre gauge line heading from Abbeville station to Dompierre-sur-Authie. Needs to be from left side of station heading down the diagram. Can't work out how to do it. Mjroots (talk) 11:03, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

@Mjroots: Is this correct? Useddenim (talk) 12:19, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Apart from my bad French (now fixed), yes. Mjroots (talk) 12:48, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

List of railway lines in France

Hi, I just reverted your edit on List of railway lines in France again. This is a list article, that shouldn't contain detailed information like the {{Auray-Quiberon railway diagram}}. See also Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists. You are invited to create an article about that railway, see similar articles like Savenay–Landerneau railway for inspiration.

Request template for Charlotte, North Carolina Bus Rapid Transit

Hello Useddenim, I notice you have edited the Template:LYNX Red Line in the past and was wondering if you could create a new template for what is now the I-77 Bus Rapid Transit, which is replacing the LYNX Red Line for the near term. Here is the link of the current propose route and the former Red Line, as you can see it is two stations fewer. I'm not ready to rename the article from the Red Line as of yet though because the BRT could be labeled the Red Line as well or not. If you can make one, I would be most appreciative, but cannot I understand. Thank you! --WashuOtaku (talk) 23:21, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

@Washuotaku:  Done (Template:I-77 BRT). Useddenim (talk) 22:51, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you very much!!! --WashuOtaku (talk) 00:35, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

There is a discussion at Talk:Bedford railway station#Incorrect diagram in which some editors are looking for help to resolve a flat crossing, in the unlikely event that you have a few moments to evaluate? Thank you either way. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 13:00, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Template : Llanelly Railway and Dock Company

I would like you to add Whitemill station (opened January 1867-closed October 1870) between Abergwili and Nantgaredig to the branch line on the template. It is shown in Wignall's "Complete British Railway Atlas and Gazeteer" (1981 edition) and it also appears in the text matter of the Wikipedia article on this railway in the topography section of this branch line.

I am not well versed enough to make the required edit as the convoluted computer script in that part of the template needs careful adjustments.

 Done. Useddenim (talk) 20:49, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Template : Llanelly Railway and Dock Company

I note that on the Brynamman branch line, there was Gelliceidrim station (opened November 1851 - closed December 1861) situated in-between Garnant Halt and Glanamman.

It appears in WIGNALL'S "Complete British Railway Atlas and Gazeteer" (1981 edition) and also appears in the text matter of the Wikipedia article on this railway in the topography section of this branch line.

I would like you to add this station to the template, as stated in my previous entry, I am not well versed enough to make the required edit as the convoluted computer script in that part of the template needs careful adjustments.

Edits on London Underground rolling stock numbering and classification

The mentioning of the East London line was outdated information, not historic information, so that's why I removed it. C2A (Homebase | Telephone | Site changes) 06:04, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

I undid your changes as they appear to be major, per WP:BRD please take the discussion to the talk-page. I read WP:MOSFLAG by the way I don't see how any of the criteria against inclusion would apply per "In lists or tables, flag icons may be relevant when such representation of different subjects is pertinent to the purpose of the list or table itself". The flags do not serve as a nationalistic purpose as many of them are former countries. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:20, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

@C2A: It's not good faith when someone's error has been pointed out to them yet they insist on making the same change over and over again. Useddenim (talk) 12:41, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

@C2A: Neither is blanking your talk page and then hectoring the person who posted the message. BE CAREFUL with your accusations. Useddenim (talk) 12:54, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Do You think bad faith means keeping an article up to date? C2A (Homebase | Telephone | Site changes) 14:08, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Also, I wasn't making any error. I was doing the right thing. C2A (Homebase | Telephone | Site changes) 14:10, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

@C2A: Repeatedly removing information is disruptive editing. Period. Useddenim (talk) 14:23, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Only if the editer assumes bad faith, which I wasn't doing. C2A (Homebase | Telephone | Site changes) 05:28, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. C2A (Homebase | Telephone | Site changes) 06:38, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia.

This is per [1], I do not appreciate being accused of possible article ownership. Take a WP:BREAK, then come back and discuss by assuming good faith. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:32, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

@Knowledgekid87: And I do not appreciate having several hours of work trashed just because you like cutesy flag icons that add nothing to the article. Besides, they are direct contravention of MOS:FLAGCRUFT ("Do not emphasize nationality without good reason"). I'm not going to copy WP:ICONDECORATION into this reply, but using flag icons instead of text to identify countries is definitely in the "inappropriate use" category.

Furthermore, your overreaction (and that's an admin's opinion, not just mine) suggests a lack of WP:AGF on your part.

I think I will address the specifics of your editing behaviour at Talk:PCC streetcar#Recent reversion. Useddenim (talk) 17:45, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Rail station template

Hi Useddenim! I saw your edits on the various Washington Metro line templates and saw you were using {{rws}} to link the VRE station. While this does work, it ends up as a redirect. I think you knew this, but U.S. stations no longer use the "xxx (xxx station)" format anymore. Using {{stl|VRE|L'Enfant}} would work. Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks for your work! –Daybeers (talk) 01:47, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you Daybeers. I know that Mackensen and others have been working their way through the templates, but I haven't been following their progress to carefully. So, unless I see that a system has been converted to {{stl}}/{{slk}}, I'm following the safe course and using {{rws}} which can handle all of the station disambiguation formats. Useddenim (talk) 03:24, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Template : Brecon and Merthyr Railway

On the right side of the template there is a line running upwards from Bargoed, upon which there are three stations shown, but the topography shows that in-between Abertysswg station and Cwmsyfiog & Brithdir station, heading downwards, the following five stations should be added and shown on this template:-

• McLaren Colliery Halt...
• New Tredegar Colliery Platform...
• New Tredegar...
• Elliot Pit Halt...
• Cwmsyfiog Halt...

As I do not have the requisite computer skills to perform this task, noting the convoluted lines in the area, may I seek your assistance in performing this task.

Xenophon Philosopher (talk) 17:39, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

But I have stopped now!!! C2A (About | Call | Edits) 05:54, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

I fail to see how. Three minutes after you resumed editing you once again made changes to the very same phrase in London Underground rolling stock numbering and classification, despite your promise just two days ago that Instead of edit warring on the article, I will discuss the issue … when I am unblocked. Useddenim (talk) 13:25, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

It was not the same revert though, so why did to class it as edit warring? C2A (About | Call | Edits) 14:44, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Because it was the very same phrase and you had promised to discuss things before making any more changes. I suspect that you'll need to find other things than Wikipedia to occupy your time next week. Useddenim (talk) 14:49, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

No, I had promised to only discuss things before removing the mention of ELL. That was just me cleaning up the phrase, so I have no idea why you had reverted it. C2A (About | Call | Edits) 14:51, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

RDT style

Hi Useddenim (talk · contribs)! I noticed that you reverted my edit on {{NJ Transit Summit-Hoboken/NYC}}. I want to assure you that my intention is not to "impose my own style." The manner in which I edited that RDT (and several others) is consistent with several other diagrams that I did not edit. There is no set style regarding closed stations and my similar edits on other templates were uncontroversial. In fact, WP:RDT includes a use of {{BSsplit}} to denote the opening and closing dates of a station. While you may see the information as redundant, others may see it as useful: the same icon can denote a closed, demolished, planned, or under-construction station. "Not in use" can mean many things, and is useful and prudent to reduce ambiguity. All of this said, I respect and appreciate all the work you are doing to maintain and improve these diagrams. Best, WMSR (talk) 01:06, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Template : Edinburgh and Northern Railway

I need an amendment/addition to this template, but do not wish to do this myself as the template is somewhat too convoluted for me to attempt, as I will most probably make a mess of matters. Between Newburgh and the line junction that leads off to the Newburgh and North Fife Railway, can you add Glenburnie (1847-1848).

That station, mentioned in the topography, was a station that was used as a temporary terminal station whilst the junction works leading to the Newburgh and North Fife Railway were in process of construction.

Help Needed

Hey! I am trying to edit Template:Blue Line (Los Angeles Metro) and I need help with a tricky icon. At Willowbrook/Rosa Parks the Green Line operates in the median of I-105 and crosses over the Blue Line allowing people to transfer. Currently, the map shows the Blue Line crossing over the freeway on a bridge. Also in the detailed map, it would be nice to show that there is a non-revenue connector track between the Green Line and the Blue Line at the station. Any help you could give with the ID's of those icons would be greatly appreciated.

These maps may help you visualize the situation: https://goo.gl/maps/hEBmDj48pgvwTZ1q6 and https://goo.gl/maps/Cvkjp3zNzPaRMVi18

Template : Brecon and Merthyr Railway

You were a great help some time ago with regards the incorporation of items on this template and that only left one main query that our team were working on, which we have now solved. There is a very detailed area map titled "The Rhymney Railway 1871" on a Wikipedia article elsewhere which incorporated all other railways in different colours, but clearly shows the line of the Brecon and Merthyr Railway as one of those railways.

The two stations concerned are those of Aber Bargoed and Bargoed Colliery Halt on the Template : Brecon and Merthyr Railway. These two stations need to be moved from their current position on the template upwards, so they follow on immediately after Cwmsyfiog Halt. Looking at the current line template. the Bargoed line at the extreme right, where the two stations above were on, should not have the station icon mark of Bargoed, as currently shown, as the line in question passed to the right of that station area with no connection.

Such are the very convoluted computer changes that are required to effect these corrections, that once again, your kind offices are called upon to perform these tasks.

Wikipedia line template printing query

Whenever I need to print a hard-copy A4 print-out of any Wikipedia line templates, in the vast majority of cases, everything is fine, but there are certain ones such as Template : Oxted Line which when printed out, show a propensity for many blank white spaces to appear between entries on the template print-out and I wonder if recent changes to the computer format is the reason why this should occur.

Xenophon Philosopher (talk) 08:01, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Eglinton station (disambiguation)

Hi there... are you planning to move the Toronto station to Eglinton station (Toronto) (which I don't think should be done)? Because otherwise your latest edit on the DAB page is wrong, as we would list the primary topic first, like the way it was before your edit, no, as per WP:DABPRIMARY? —Joeyconnick (talk) 16:28, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Yes, but Queen station (and possibly others) should probably all be dealt with at the same time. Useddenim (talk) 17:04, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

So unless consensus is reached on moving Eglinton, I'll revert you as it shouldn't be in an intermediate state that makes it seem as if that potential move is a done deal. As for any move itself, and any for Queen "and possibly others", might I suggest doing those as RMs? —Joeyconnick (talk) 17:34, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Template : Rhymney Railway

Having now completed my researches, I would like you to amend this template to include the following. At the left hand side of the template, you will note the line of the Quakers Yard and Merthyr Railway, commencing with Abercanaid. In a downwards direction from there, the following three stops should be entered onto the template:-

Between Abercanaid and Troed-y-Rhiw Halt, add... Gethin Pit Platform and Castle Pit Platform

Between Aberfan and Pontygwaith Halt, add... Merthyr Vale Miners Platform

Such is the very convoluted computer work involved, far too involved for my meagre skills in that respect, that I ask you to be so kind as to do these inclusions on the template

@Xenophon Philosopher:  Done. Now you have some station articles to write… Useddenim (talk) 14:36, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Grateful thanks for this, as it makes more complete reading now regarding the Quakers Yard and Merthyr Railway in terms of completeness. With regards to articles, there were already station entries (in red) without articles on those stations prior to my researches into what already had been entered in topography section quite some time ago, so I suppose the person who did this would already have such articles on their "to do" list.
