Your edits to NYC transportation articles

I see that you've been adding information to a number of New York City transportation articles. Please remember that the contents of Wikipedia articles need to be verifiable, based on reliable sources. Some of the material you've been adding does not meet these criteria.

For example, if you want to indicate that a particular kind of rolling stock is used on a particular subway line, you need a source, such as an MTA press release, a newspaper account, or the like. Your personal knowledge and observations, even if true, do not count as "reliable sources" for Wikipedia purposes. Other editors will remove those statements.

Happy editing! Marc Shepherd (talk) 15:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Rolling stock in NYCS service articles

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. I urge you to see and respond to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation#Verifying cars used on services.

Use of unsourced material, material which is copyrighted and trivial details

You repeatedly add unsourced material to Wikipedia articles. You add material which is trivial in the encyclopedic sense. Also, please note that material directly copied from nycsubway.org and placed on Wikipedia is a copyright violation. Raryel (talk) 02:44, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. One of your recent contributions has been reverted or removed, because it contains speculative or unconfirmed information about a future event. Wikipedia has a policy called Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, which discourages such edits. Please only add material about future events if it is verifiable, based on a reference to a reliable source. Thank you. IGeMiNix (talk) 00:39, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article R160B (New York City Subway car), please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
