NYC Transit Police

Hello Epicgenius. ..I am a 22 year veteran of The New York City Transit Police. Every edit I made is a matter of record

@Caryez1: Thank you for your service on the NYC Transit Police. However, our Wikipedia policy says that every edit without a source can be challenged and removed. Please provide a source so that your edit is less likely to be contested. Thanks again, Epic Genius (talk) 04:09, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

@ Epicgenius. .would you please make a change on Police Officer Irma Lozada ' page....change badge number to SHIELD number . In NYC regardless of the department. ..it is referred to as a shield and not a badge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caryez1 (talk • contribs) 09:32, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

@Caryez1: I will change it this time, but just remember, for next time, you can change it as well. Epic Genius (talk) 13:40, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Actually,, I cannot change it, because it is part of the infobox and the "badge number" needs to be changed by editing Template:Infobox police officer. Epic Genius (talk) 13:43, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nightlife legislation in New York City, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Doormen (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Just a question

Hi Epic Genius! :D Long time, no see! I just had a quick question about your edit on the World Trade Center article. I was just curious, why did you collapse the information box? Is it because its too long? :) Cheers! CookieMonster755 (talk) 05:27, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

@CookieMonster755: It was due to a concern on the talk page, by Orange Suede Sofa, that the infobox was too long. So, I collapsed it for easier reading. Epic Genius (talk) 14:56, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Epicgenius -- Aye, I understand, thank you! Also, what is the status on the split proposal? :) The split proposal for splitting the World Trade Center article into the 1973-2001 World Trade Center and the new (current) World Trade Center. I has been up for weeks, so I was just wondering who has the authority to close and split the article. Cheers! CookieMonster755 (talk) 01:06, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

@CookieMonster755: It looks like people want to split the page. However, this article is a Good Article, so any significant changes, like a split, would have to be carefully drafted out first. Expect any split to take approximately 6 months because of the great attention given to this article. Epic Genius (talk) 02:09, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

@Buster7: Thanks! (I also have another 100000 award above, by the way). Epic Genius (talk) 13:40, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

hmmmmmm! Yes, I see that. There is a serious penalty for displaying an "un-official" 100K award. I don't know what that penalty is.....but it's serious!!! As you can see by this page I am the Official Giver-Outer of the Award. While any previous award may have been given to you with the best of intentions, its kind of like a fake Rolex wristwatch. The choice is yours. You can wear the $19.95 Rolex (which is not really a Rolex and should be called something like "Roll-of-toiletpaper X") or you can wear the jeweled movement, 24 carat authentic $5327.00 Rolex. I think the choice is obvious. BTW, the other 300 or so Award recipients all have REAL Awards. So, if you 100K guys and gals ever have a convention, you better make sure you bring the Official 100K Award. Have a nice day. . Buster Seven Talk 18:14, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Category:Buildings and structures destroyed in the September 11 attacks

I've got a bit of an issue with this category. Most of the buildings listed as "destroyed" exist. Granted, I understand we're talking about older versions of them that were destroyed, but the main focus on those articles are buildings that presently exist. The building that is 1WTC didn't exist before 9/11 at all, as it's a completely different structure from the Twin Towers, which to my surprise do not have their own article. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:30, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

@Muboshgu: That's because many of the "destroyed" buildings were rebuilt. For example, there were two 4 WTCs and two 7 WTCs. The originals were destroyed, but the new ones exist, so the categories are true of the original towers.

The Twin Towers' article is at World Trade Center and at the 1 and 2 WTCs' articles. There is no separate article specifically for the Twin Towers, but the separate towers are described at the 1 and 2 WTCs' articles, and the towers asa whole are described as part of a whole group in the main WTC article.
