Poodle image
Hi. You've got a cute dog but I've removed the photo from the article on Poodles. I don't think the photo added any information to the article that wasn't already included in the other photos. TheAwesome Hwyh  13:54, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

I thought that it showed the size of a standard poodle puppy. If this is not the case, then that is ok! If it is, I'll re-add the image! Best, MTA Transit Fan  Chat!  13:29, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think we need an image of a puppy because the text does not discuss puppies. TheAwesome  Hwyh  15:03, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Oh ok that's fine! Best, MTA Transit Fan  Chat!  13:29, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Good! Also, please indent your comments. TheAwesome  Hwyh  15:16, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Conflict of interest editing
Hello, MTATransitFan. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Jonathan Kramer, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Please do not directly edit the article about your family member. Melcous (talk) 12:08, 14 August 2020 (UTC) Hello, I have disclosed my affiliation with Jonathan Kramer in both my talk page and on the page's talk page. If this is not sufficient, I do not see why. In addition, I read over the COI policy before editing, and I do not see what I have done in violation of those policies - It does not ban COI editing, it just bans advertising, publicising, or promoting, which I am not doing. Best, MTA Transit Fan  Chat!  12:54, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The request as per the above guidelines is that you do not directly edit the article but use the Template:Request edit on the talk page instead. Melcous (talk) 13:09, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Apologies
Hi there,

Sorry, I misread the edit history of the Nova Bus LFS page, and so incorrectly thought you were socking.

I've reinstituted the page move - but as a note for the future, please make sure you move a page, rather than cutting and pasting, as if not caught immediately it needs a history merge which is immensely tedious. Let me know if you have any questions

Once again, apologies Nosebagbear (talk) 11:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

It is ok! I tried to move, but it did not work - so I had to copy and paste! In the future, I'll use the move tool. Best, MTA Transit Fan  Chat!  11:53, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You may have been trying to move it over a redirect - technical move requests can help in those cases Nosebagbear (talk) 13:07, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Bus routes in The Bronx


A tag has been placed on Category:Bus routes in The Bronx requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

Talk! 13:26, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi. It's ok to merge this with Category:Bus routes in the Bronx. I thought that creating it without anything in it would result in a merge. Was I wrong? Best, MTA Transit Fan  Chat!  13:37, 22 October 2020 (UTC)


 * I tagged the category because it is empty. Unless it falls into a narrow range of exceptions (redirect categories, disambiguation categories, categories under discussion at CFD), empty categories are tagged for deletion. They sit for a week and if this one is still empty next Thursday, it will be deleted.
 * It seems like a duplicate of Category:Bus routes in the Bronx (small "the"). You can check larger categories, like Category:MTA Regional Bus routes, to see what NYC bus categories already exist. Liz Read! Talk! 14:04, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Airbus A350 XWB. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 19:54, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Ah ok, sorry, didn't realize that the consensus was A350 XWB. Best, MTA Transit Fan  Chat!  20:48, 11 November 2020 (UTC)


 * No worries. But if you really believe it should be at Airbus A350, feel free to propose a move. Consensus can and does change. BilCat (talk) 22:28, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

MTA Fleet Page
Hi, I am writing to you to inform you that I saw your message. I find it quite inaccurate to refer to my edits as vandalism and would like you to explain what you meant by that. I am updating info that was incorrect or replacing images that were of lower quality. It appears as if you are trying to promote your images as you have added a lot of your in, while most of them are fine, some of them are not of the best quality and should be replaced. 24.104.250.197 (talk) 05:39, 22 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Please, stop it. You are going against consensus, and reverting edits by not only me, but also and . I also have reason to believe that you are a sockpuppet of, a blocked editor. I will have to report you at Sockpuppet Investigations because of that. In addition, I'm fine with my images there or not, but if it is consensus that an image is ok, then we keep it.


 * Also, can we get protection back on that page? Thanks!


 * If you were to go into the edit history, you would be aware it was Mtattrain who removed some of your images as well. By your logic, perhaps hes an sockpuppet as well. 24.104.250.197 (talk) 20:43, 22 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Stop it, will you? We all know you are a sockpuppet of Olsen24. Mtattrain is an established editor who has removed images and added others WITH GOOD REASON . You have done this without ANY good reason. If you really want to fight this, do it at the sockpuppet investigation, where it won't only be me or Mtattrain, but also CUs, clerks, and admins.

A clear vendetta
Hi, I am not sure what your issue is with me but I hope we can resolve it promptly. Edit warring is not the answer, and I would to resolve our dispute in a different way. I know you think i’m a sockpuppet, which isn’t true, otherwise I would have been blocked. I hope we can set aside our differences. 24.104.250.197 (talk) 02:51, 23 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Oh please, cut it out. I'm not stupid. I know that you are a sockpuppet. Even if you weren't, this is the second or third time you have violated WP:3RR in the last two days. If you REALLY want to start over on a clean slate, then don't edit war anymore, and come clean that you are a sock. Then I'll consider going a bit lighter on you. For now, however, I posted at ANI, so I would suggest defending yourself (or coming clean?) there. I honestly hope you stop with this lie, because the deeper you get in, the harder it is to get out. Best, MTA Transit Fan  Chat!  02:56, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Confirmed?
Regarding this edit. Can you please link to where the sockpuppetry was confirmed by an administrator? Please see the exact wording used at the bottom of Sockpuppet investigations/Olsen24/Archive. As it happens, the IP is blocked for a year for evasion but without any reference to the SPI. Checkusers normally won't confirm IPs and you are trying to undo the carefully worded conclusions. EdJohnston (talk) 18:45, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
