Substitute for userboxes and other stuff
'''Since I can't figure out how to make new userboxes, or if I even should for that matter. That and the fact that some reactionary bureaucrats have deleted my images.'''

 * This user isn't above making a few redirections himself, when necessary (but only when necessary).

Barnstars and awards
I had to get one sometime. Recently I had to split them onto a new user subpage: Barnstars and Awards'''

Images on Display
TOO MANY ARE BEING BANNED BY WIKI-BUREACRATS



An image I've been trying to save. First because it was attached to an article that some people keep deleting without justification, and next because I think Brenda Song looks great like this.

Since some bot deleted an article about a TV episode, another one decided to declare the image I added for it an orphan file. Not even the fact that I posted it on my userpage protected it. So this time, I decided to replace it with something else



Well, the image from another article was deleted, because the article Influenza: The Musical (Even Stevens) was deleted by the same Son Of a Bot. So, I'm going to have to post something else here: 

The "100 years later" contest I missed

My greatest images per year

 * In the meantime, here's a List of sites on the National Register of Historic Places in New York (and some that aren't) that I want to get pictutes of.

More Data to Come

 * Old Notes of Mine


 * October 29, 2014: I just found an old link to the New York Times mentioning a 2001 proposal to restore trolley service in Port Jefferson, New York and the Town of Riverhead, New York, but judging by their description, it seems like they're really just buses designed to replicate trolleys. I know that Port Jeff actually had local buses separate from Suffolk County Transit until the 1990's, but I'm still having a hard time proving it.


 * February 4, 2016: When I joined Wikipedia nearly a decade ago, I was hoping my contributions were an effort to make the internet not suck. Recent changes within WP:Trains over the past year have not only reaffirmed my belief in the contrary, but has infuriated me excessively. I'm not retiring from this site just yet, because there's plenty that needs to be done.


 * October 9, 2016: Wikipedia is becoming asinine. Removing railroads from station articles, merging city hall, village hall, borough hall and similar categories in to town hall categories, and now removing more state names from cities.


 * December 20, 2016: Wiki-Bureaucrats are getting stupider now! Posting images of Historical Markers are considered Freedom of Panorama violations!


 * May 8, 2018: WikiProject Trains and WikiProject New York City Public Transportation are officially dead to me. If I add any more images it will not be as a member of either of these projects.


 * November 16, 2018: This meme is too true.


 * November 18, 2018: On Sunday Morning, November 18, 2018 there were 200 images in Wikimedia Commons categorized as being taken in October 2018 in New York state, and only one picture wasn't mine. That used to me mind-blowing to me. More October 2018 pics from both New York State and New York City are still coming, no matter what.


 * January 12, 2019: A new feature in the commons currently puzzles me; "Add a one-line explanation of what this file represents." I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do that, or what that even means.


 * June 25, 2019: One of the blackest days in Wikipedia history. The last group of railroad station articles to maintain the better naming convention fell to the BS naming convention of WP:USStations.


 * October 28, 2020: I recently had two sandboxes for two failed proposed articles... actually lists; 1) National Register of Historic Places listings in Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow and Irvington, New York and 2) National Register of Historic Places listings in Ossining, New York . These were two lists that were intended to be split from National Register of Historic Places listings in Westchester County, New York. Unfortunately, there was never enough for the Town of Ossining, and my effort to sort out the ones for Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, and Irvington proved to be a disaster. Therefore I tagged two otherwise potentially decent lists for deletion, and I've been trying to work on both for several years.


 * July 1, 2021: I just found out about another idiotic decision made by the powers that be at Wikipedia; the Retired MTA Regional Bus Operations bus fleet was deleted back in March, by somebody who wasn't interested in buses, or just didn't like the sources. What the hell is this site coming to?
