Autopatrolled
Hi Adam37, I just wanted to let you know that I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AAdam37 added] the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! &oelig; &trade; 13:15, 6 December 2019 (UTC) Hello, and thank you for lending your time to help improve Wikipedia! If you are interested in editing more often, I suggest you create an account to gain additional privileges. Happy editing!

Proposed deletion of London Square (disambiguation)


The article London Square (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Disambiguation not required (WP:2DABS). Primary topic has a hatnote to the only other use."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Editing
I say this not to be unkind, but to encourage some quiet reflection. I can tell with complete certainty without needing to look at the edit history when you have substantially edited an article. MRSC (talk) 08:25, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know what policy or style you think I need to follow more. If you have a preference then why not say so? Your style is not bad, perhaps you could also reflect on not to take any change or hallmark idiosyncracy in style as a problem?- Adam37 Talk  12:46, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Harrow Way / Old Way map
Ten years ago you created a map now found on Commons, - it looks as if it was derived from a vector map, and I always prefer vector, SVG, version. I cannot though see an SVG map of the British Isles in that much detail, with every little river traced. Have you come across one?

Thanks. Hogweard (talk) 12:51, 18 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Not memorably. There is the means to convert, say xxx to pdf then pdf to svg.  I see what you mean and like (like everyone wiki) as to scale-ability. However firstly it is not the be all an end all, and secondly "little river" these days covers in reality any stream, for instance most of those with the average flow and jump-ability of streams are routinely called maps something they seldom were before say 1950 or 1900.  All to do with obsessions with a generic term I'm sad to say.  If you would like a hydrological map I am sure the EA and flood search agencies have them, however piecing your own together could be a labour of love.- Adam37  Talk  16:37, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Seven Springs, Gloucestershire article
Hello.

Please always use converters when adding imperial or metric units in articles. In English Wikipedia articles, both units of measurement need to be included, but not just one unit of measurement. See Template:Convert.

Thank you. 31.200.12.202 (talk) 17:29, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Rowing on the River Thames, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 19:47, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Read WP:V and WP:LEDE cover-to-cover. You obviously are a doubter and a deletionist.  The content stood in line with others on the subject and you need to respect the sport and recreation also it can be of rowing and not be so anti-rowing. I have never known someone so anti-rowing in my life, whether on wikipedia or in the world of broad academia.  There are many football hooligans, convicted, who have more respect for rowing than your shambolic and disrespecting, left-field edits.- Adam37  Talk  19:53, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

User page
Could you explain ? The reason I ask is that you claim you promoted Dorset to Featured but it was promoted in 2012 and your unhelpful edits to that article came in 2015, mostly getting in the way of who did all the work. Your userpage also claims a Good article but all I can find are insufficient reviews like Talk:Stanley Bruce/GA1, Talk:Norman, Oklahoma/GA1, and Talk:2012–13 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team/GA1. You also nebulously claim a DYK but I see no evidence of that, either. I'd love to know where we have a disconnect. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 20:24, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Much of it is true and truth is not an absolute but more of an art where the work is more artistic than scientific (the bulk). OK let's take that off.  It's fair but not wholly true. I hope that slightly muses.- Adam37  Talk  16:30, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I am not taking off the more absolute truths about me expanding DYKs (before they got DYK), 1,334 bytes to Wentworth Estate and many others, often the most obviously lacking bytes as I only add content where I have read around the subject broadly.- Adam37 Talk  18:10, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Adam, I've removed your autopatrolled perm per the discussion at Talk:Rowing_on_the_River_Thames. Valereee (talk) 20:25, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Undo that. The source was at the foot of the article.- Adam37 Talk  16:15, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Your recent contributions to Edersee
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Edersee. Not welcome at da SD (talk) 18:57, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Pathetic. Vandalism requires intention and mistakes.  Neither of which were there.  You appear to be edit warring which is childish.- Adam37  Talk  19:00, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Company of Watermen and Lightermen
It's seems absurd to bring this to you as you uploaded the image more than 2 years ago, and did great work to find it, but I'm not a wikipedia editor and don't know the etiquette of it all or really what to do so please delete this as soon as you've read this and cursed me but: The arms, etc, and etc on the page (and armorial of london list) are those of the fishmongers not the watermen. Their crest is on their flag and, in incredibly low resolution, on their wordpress website. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lorens Löwenhielm (talk • contribs) 15:37, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Wimbledon station
Padding is unecessary, it adds nothing to the article and you have provided no sources. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 20:49, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * How flagrantly against what I put - I removed a couple of padding words and instead put what google maps shows which is what everyone sees too on the train. You are curating rather than adding substance.  In fact you behaving as if estate agent words need to go into the lead as not admitting it had ANY padding either.  Just wrong per WP:V and WP:COPYEDIT - presumably you require a railway source for every plain fact.  Even London is southeast of Birmingham.- <b style="color: black">Adam37</b>  Talk  20:52, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what that rant was supposed to mean. If you have a problem with the idea providing sources for material added to articles perhaps wikipedia is not the best place for you. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 20:56, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It is not a rant to use English. I have now compromised with your position which is indeed off the scale protectionist.  It's not a rant to characterise edits, only to "curate" which is what you are doing of all UK railway articles.- <b style="color: black">Adam37</b>  Talk  20:57, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Still don't understand what you think you are driving at, what has Birmingham got to do with anything? You added padding and unsourced material, apparently on the grounds that you saw it from the train. That is original research. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 21:08, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Have you read WP:V - it says obvious things on maps require no citation. Admittedly I didn't write my full edit summary to my first edit but edit summaries are somewhat optional.  I should not have to plead with just you as the owner of the article - you are not the owner of the article - the improvements are about mentioning the nearby traincare depot and showing a correct diagram of both Raynes Park and how the lines are grade segregated which is a colossal piece of work dozens of workers achieved.- <b style="color: black">Adam37</b>  Talk  13:14, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
 * What has the depot to do with the station? Murgatroyd49 (talk) 17:35, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It was in the station diagram (not by me) in the article; it has more than six effects. 1) it has platforms which can lead to confusion 2) it has many workers who use the station  3) close ties in history to heritage of the platform areas such as signal boxes  4) it is not uncommon to mention features of a line across a sprawling zone in a station's article - so too number of car parks and landmark buildings in sight necessarily  5) it imposes daily speed restrictions and red signals to the trains which the station encounters  6) a not to be confused element as novels and cross-cutting papers such as in local planning and engineering may refer to "at Wimbledon" which could mean either and so it is useful to give a very simple description of both, the largest depot (of the SW Main Line) does this.  Presumably you would keep nearby building mention yet scrap rail infrastructure mention. - <b style="color: black">Adam37</b>  Talk  17:01, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
