Comments on New York City subway page

link Thank you for your edits on Wikipedia, and we really appreciate your reverting unnecessary edits, but please do not include profanities in your edit summaries. Thanks. smileguy91talk 20:45, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I just can't stand vandalism from various randomly IPs. JoesphBarbaro (talk) 20:48, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mafia characters sheet

Thanks for the heads up on the List of Mafia characters page. I tagged it for cruft before, since it was chock-full of excessive info that should've been at a Wikia site instead. Blake Gripling (talk) 00:22, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On the R32 page-

Hello! Just wanted to explain to you my view of the specificity of the edits on the R32 page- As I see it at least, the paragraph is largely fancruft- The paragraph seems to imply that the R32s have lasted this long was due to their physical condition/craftsmanship, when in reality it is largely an accident due to the poor condition of the mainline R44s, and the Conductor positions on R40/R42. Yes, most of the R42s and R44s have been retired, but for that matter, so have most of the R32s! While I see the notability in pointing out that the R32s (and R42s) must remain for now due to the issues of the R44s, Saying that they outlasted the car classes which followed them when most R32s did not, and when two of the classes following them have not even been fully retired is misleading.(and one of the "classes", the R40A was not even considered a separate class by the MTA since at least GOH)

I have issues with statements which if I didn't know better would mislead me, and to me at least,(and I think to most readers) the last sentence would imply that the next 5 orders have all been retired while the R32s have not, when such is not the case. (In fact, the majority of the R32s were retired before the first pair of R38s were removed from service! Could one have said that the R38 outlasted the R32 in September of 2008? I think a stronger argument could have been made then than what could be made now with regards to the R32 vs R42 and R44) I don't mean to go on and on(I know, too late...) but I hope you can see where I am coming from here. Hope your day is treating you well!74.64.111.51 (talk) 23:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

I'm surprised to learn you are RollOverMyHead from NYC Transit Forums and YouTube. Nice to see you here keeping Wikipedia in check. I've been here less often lately due to my job and other duties. I'm sure you know this already, but I am the guy who loves causing chaos and mayhem on those sites. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 00:18, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mafia II edits

Hi Joseph,

I noticed you undid a whole bunch of my edits, which another user, Niemti, reinstated. For the next time, you might want to drop by the Video Game WikiProject and its its guidelines. See the diff: open world is no longer considered a video game genre, while the ratings field have been removed from the infobox. Third-person might be true, but is that so important enough to mention in the very first line of the intro? Also, a long, very long list of in-game music is downright trivial. I understand your enthusiasm for particular games, but don't let that cloud you to make articles better. Thanks, and happy editing. --Soetermans. T / C 17:33, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I think we better condense the plot summary a little more. I did it before based on what I can gather from playing the game, but perhaps we can trim down some intricate details and leave the essential plotline intact. A more detailed summary would work on the Mafia Wiki, but since the article here generally serves as an outline of the game in question, such intricacies would be beyond Wikipedia's scope and considered as cruft. Blake Gripling (talk) 04:06, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Joe, the plot is still way too long. A background section isn't particularly necessary for Mafia II. This tone doesn't help, it sounds like you claim ownership of the article. I suggest you try to communicate here. Thanks. --Soetermans. T / C 16:11, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do get your drift, though. We just needed to add in what's necessary. Blake Gripling (talk) 13:38, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

R32 and R38

In the section that says "Seating Arrangement and Capacity" it says "Longitudinal [50]." This means the R32 and R38 cars seat 50 people.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited V (New York City Subway service), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page B Division (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.

Re: Mafia II plot

I get your drift, dude, although since our goal here for the Mafia II article is to provide an outline of what the game is, and leave the finer details, i.e. Francesca, the subplot with the gas stamps, etc. to a specialised wiki, we have no other choice but to shorten things. Besides, the new plot summary's fine enough as it is when I read it just recently. Blake Gripling (talk) 05:30, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mafia/Mafia II character birth dates

Do we have a source for the characters' birthdays? As far as I know from playing both games I've only read/heard about Vito, Joe, Francesca and some of the other characters' birth years, but not the exact date. Blake Gripling (talk) 10:37, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mixed to negative, mixed to positive

Hi, I saw your edit at Rugrats Go Wild here. Though your edit had good intentions, phrases that attempt to describe critical response as "mixed to negative" or "mixed to positive" don't impart any significant information, as all critical response is "mixed", simply by virtue of a bunch of different reviewers having different opinions. Though I know these phrases are commonly used, they are generally shunned by various WikiProjects, including WikiProject Film, which has had numerous discussions about it, including this one. Hope that helps. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:56, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A Train image

I have a problem because all of the other train images don't have the end terminal image showing it. What is wrong with Broad Channel Joe. Come on man. It looks so good and nice. Keep that image I believe it should stay there. Ragnity (talk) 21:30, 24 September 2014 (UTC) Thank you Joe for changing that image. I thank you for your contributions at Wikipedia. Just as I have said the Broad Channel image is the much better image here. Ragnity (talk) 12:10 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
