Directions of 7 service
Hi, you recently changed the infobox for 7 (New York City Subway service) from East/West Terminals to North/South. The 7 line runs from Eastern New York (Flushing, Queens) to Western NYC (Times Sq, Manhattan). Could you explain further on why you made this change? -Herenthere 02:54, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Each line in the system runs north/south via railroad directions. Flushing is the north end, and Times Square is the south end. Lines from the Bronx and Queens travel south into Manhattan. Lines from Brooklyn travel north into Manhattan. The only service this will cause problems with is the new M service (combined with the V) that will reverse railroad direction in the Chrystie Street Connection.

 * Okay, makes sense. -Herenthere 22:41, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixing stricken sentence from above. Lines from Brooklyn travel north into Manhattan, except those from the Williamsburg Bridge. (That line travels north into Manhattan, but the services travel south into Manhattan. See New York City Subway nomenclature.) Acps110 (talk • contribs) 01:57, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

User talk:GiacomoReturned
This is a particularly clueless warning. This edit suggests Giano has no interest in edit warring, and describing a couple of reverts as an edit war is excessive in any case. Moreover, the issue was being discussed on the talk page and the "edit war" is stale. This does nothing constructive and needlessly resurrects the issue. Acps, please think before you start dishing out warning templates; you should have been able to see that it would be antagonistic. Nev1 (talk) 17:06, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

I believe you were bullied/abused by Giano II. You should open this up on WP:ANI. Dont let anything people say scare or intimidate you. There are abusive people over here and they're being allowed to over run the place. Even if a non-new (I dont like to call him 'established') editor person has been templated, they should not be allowed to get that rude as he was with you. There's no justification for that. If you need help let me know (to those who are watching me: yes I know this will now be given as a diff but nothing I have said here is incorrect or "reportable" so go ahead, do it). --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 21:46, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Mat57, I do think you are now becoming a little bit of a nuisance, some, not I, may even feel you are trolling for trouble because you have been made to look very silly elsewhere. This is not a good idea.  Giano   21:48, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Giano II, I'm talking to Acps right now. I could have emailed them but I like to keep it in the open. Nothing I said here is reportable so please dont intimidate me. Thank you. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 21:52, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't be an arse Matt, let the issue lie. It was resolved and this is unnecessary stirring. Exactly what are you attempting to accomplish? Nev1 (talk) 21:55, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep your edits summaries polite, for all you kow I may not be able to see the little dots!  Giano   21:56, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * They are very polite, thank you. Hey its not as bad as "what the fuck are you on about", is it? --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 21:58, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Nev1, this is a long standing problem of abusive editors. I'm talking to this about Jimbo. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 21:59, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Have I said that? I don't remember. Anyhowm you are the one setting yourself up as a little master manners, but you shoudl remember that not everyone can see and count daft little dots and even then it has nothig to do with you.  Giano   22:01, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That was something that everyone recently at ANI said was acceptable. It was said by Bali ultimate. For the rest, this is something I've said to ACPS and I wont be responding to you about it anymore unless its important. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 22:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * At the moment, the disruptive behaviour I'm seeing is from you. If you want to go running to Jimbo then fine, see how far it gets you. Nev1 (talk) 22:06, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * No, nothing I did is disruptive. On the other hand telling me what not to do or say could be seen as disruptive. I'm talking to ACPS here, not to you. Yes I'll wait for Jimbo on that and whatever he says will be the final word and there's no other option but to accept it. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 22:11, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * This is essentially a public forum, Matt. You have a great deal of faith in Jimbo. It is a favourite phrase of admins that Wikipedia is not a democracy, but it appears that it is not a dictatorship either, and that Jimbo can't hand down edicts to the people. And yes, raising this issue after it had been settled is disruptive. Nev1 (talk) 22:21, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * No its not disruptive. The issue is of abusive editors as I said and Giano II has been abusive towards ACPS here. Being concerned about abusive editors is not being disruptive so could you please stop making that allegation? Thank you. Yes I know about the "is not a democracy" stuff. I'll go by whatever Jimbo says. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 22:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Nev1, I moved it now to its own section and this is my section now (as in I made a new section), there you go. I left your section closed. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 22:29, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Matt, what I'm trying to tell you is that what Jimbo says doesn't really matter. A predictable reaction to Acps stomping into a situation he didn't understand considered abuse? That's your interpretation, but equally it could be said that Acps was abusive. I'd say neither is true, but because Giano used a bad word you think he's the one at fault.

Arbitrary section break
Hold on!!!!!!

After GiacomoReturned responded to my templated message to cool down; I also received the above comment from Nev1 that I had acted improperly by placing that message in the first place. That made me step back from intervening further, because I don't have a stake in the edit war that was going on. My talk page is NOT a forum for a whole bunch of people to debate whether or not GiacomoReturned was bullying me.

Thanks for your concern, Matt57; if they want to continue to work on each other, let 'em. I'm not an admin, so I can't block anybody for edit warring.

To GiacomoReturned – As I said before, I hope your day gets better. Acps110 (talk • contribs) 23:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

That pesky rollback button
Thanks very much - I'll give it a try. I see that monobook is now obsolete. ScottyBerg (talk) 17:29, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Archiving at Possibly unfree files
Hello. I just wanted to ley you lknowe that there is no need to archive discussions at Possibly unfree files which result in deletion, such as you did here. There is actually a bot which will come along and take care of this for us, but it will not if the page is broken. If you do feel a need to archive any manually, please do so with the corrected formatting as I have shown here, so that the bot can continue to perform its tasks. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this. --After Midnight 0001 15:33, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info. Sorry for breaking the page! Acps110 (talk • contribs) 16:52, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. It was easy enough to fix and nobody can be expected to know the convention of all the pages.   --After Midnight 0001 03:00, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
