New comments, questions and concerns go on the bottom of this page. Please use the "New section" tab above if you have a new topic!

Conrail commuter rail

Regarding [1], my understanding is that Conrail did briefly continue the Youngstown operation, and that's what Cleveland commuter rail says at the moment. Ditto the Valpo operations, which Amtrak doesn't assume until '79. Mackensen (talk) 15:39, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The biggest issue is that neither of those services were part of Conrail's off-loading of commuter services in 1983, which is what the section is about. Also, there's no connection between the Valpo Local and Metra, so that was incorrect regardless (not to mention the poor style and lack of proper capitalization).
Some mention could be made, but they should be distinguished from the 1983 group, which has much more in common; all were already heavily subsidized and using state-owned equipment, each was independently branded, and the respective agencies really called the shots, with Conrail acting as a contract operator. The only real difference was that the crews now worked directly for the various agencies, and some trackage ownership was transferred, though not as much as some think, as a lot of the tracks already were owned by the states. oknazevad (talk) 16:06, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oknazevad, understood. I rewrote the section to make the distinction clearer. Could do with expansion, but probably best in our non-existent article about the Northeast Rail Service Act of 1981. Cheers, Mackensen (talk) 21:51, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Complain

Why are you editing out two Catholic Bibles from the list of Catholic Bibles, viz. New Community Bible (2008), and New Catholic Bible-Saint Joseph Edition (2019)? Go to google, study articles on them. These two Bible editions are authorised by the Catholic Church. A Constantine Winchester (talk) 14:41, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because they're unreferenced additions with no evidence of notability. oknazevad (talk) 15:04, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Thanks for fixing my formatting issue, I'm very new to wiki editing! Bigfreesample (talk) 15:24, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Transcluding MFD

Hi,

You didn't transclude Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Law, Sport, And Science into the MFD page. I've done that now. And also, thanks for nomination. -- Whpq (talk) 18:43, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The steps always mess me up. oknazevad (talk) 21:42, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
WP:TWINKLE is a big help. -- Whpq (talk) 00:35, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

really

Can I ask an honest question?

Why are you so devoted to following Wiki policy to the letter?

At the end of the day, it's all just meaningless words.

Vjmlhds (talk) 14:01, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's the only thing that keeps this place honest and functioning, instead of a POV-pushing free for all. Now cut the crap. You know better that there's an RFC ongoing. You opened it! oknazevad (talk) 14:02, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This place isn't honest and barely functions...every editor has a POV, and there is no such thing as neutral, and don't you scold me...who are you to scold me? Vjmlhds (talk) 14:05, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'll scold you if you act out of line. And you are. So kindly knock it off. And don't bother responding here. I give up on you being a productive contributor. You clearly don't get it. oknazevad (talk) 14:08, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not your place to scold anybody...nobody died and made you the gatekeeper of Wikipedia, so I suggest you knock off your attitude. Vmlhds (talk) 14:11, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, bro. You clearly violate policies, any one can tell you to knock it off. You don't get to just ignore them because you don't like them. oknazevad (talk) 14:13, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
PS, when I say "don't bother to respond here", that means don't post on this talk page again, because I don't feel like getting frustrated with your unwillingness to act collaboratively. oknazevad (talk) 14:13, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Collaborative means do it your way right, because oknazevad is the greatest Wikipedia editor of all time and is so much better than little old Vjmlhds, right? Vjmlhds (talk) 14:16, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to butt in here, but Oknazevad is absolutely right. You might not like Wikipedia policy (honestly, why are you here?) but that doesn't give you the right to ignore it and impose your edits on an article just because your RfC isn't going the way you want it to. — Czello 14:28, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Garden State Plaza

Hi, Okanazevad. I know you're a veteran editor, so I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but as you know, adding uncited material to an article, even if it's to update recent developments in the topic, as you did with Garden State Plaza, is not permitted by WP:V, WP:NOR, et al. If you want to update the paragraph, that's perfectly fine, of course, but the proper way to do it is to add the latest development after the previous one, and accompany it with a supportive citation of a source. Feel free to re-add your update if you can do so in adherence to those guidelines. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 22:05, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, I thought it was covered by the second source. The November opening date was already in the article, I just moved it up because announcements are not notable, the actual even is. oknazevad (talk) 18:23, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion at Wiktionary

See wikt:en:Wiktionary:Requests_for_deletion/English#Major League Baseball -- 65.93.183.33 (talk) 17:09, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So the link was malformed, and the entry hadn't been tagged. My bad. oknazevad (talk) 17:26, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how to use this, but please read: PLEASE RESTORE edited by 2600:100c:b01c:d221:655a:1601:3dca:7af (talk) at 14:23, 19 February 2021 on the council manager page of Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Council%E2%80%93manager_government&oldid=1007705647). I am unsure why you deleted, including my links to help the page. I have attempted to restore, but only undo is available. Thank you for your assistance.
