Information removal from articles
Can you explain why in this edit you removed the link to the commons images? and why in this edit you removed the information on average daily ridership? I really don't want to have go back through all the articles you just changed, but if there are more of these errors you need to go through and undo them.--Crossmr (talk) 08:01, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You also removed the overview from this article without explanation . I'm going to ask you once to go back and fix all the damage you did to all the articles and replace all the content you've removed. I don't have time to check over 200 articles that you've edited to see which ones you've needlessly removed content from. But you're not responding to queries or using edit summaries. You fixed the two I mentioned, but I also asked you to fix all the damage you've done. This is highly disruptive.--Crossmr (talk) 23:27, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Your Seoul metropolitan area rail line station tables
Hello,

I see you are re-editing all the station tables for rail/subway lines in the Seoul metropolitan area with a new uniform formatting and style. The format you are introducing is generally nice, but there are several formatting issues where I suggest that you improve your format. For an example for the suggestions below concerning the header, please check the re-edited table header in the Gyeongchun Line article.


 * 1) Notes are best placed in a cell at the bottom of a table, rather than as flowing text before the table.
 * 2) In English, "line" has a geographic meaning. For railroads, it is used either to denote infrastructure (actual tracks between cities A and B) or to denote train services on a specific route (trains in the schedule between cities C and D). For services with different stopping patterns on the same route, use 'express service' or 'express trains' or just 'express'. Also, unless it is a proper name (like "Korea Train Express", "Blue Train", "Orient Express", "InterCity"), it is not capitalised in English ("express service", not "Express Service").
 * 3) It is useful to set table headers apart. On Wikipedia, you can do this by starting a cell with a "!" rather than a "|". Headers are bolded and centered by default.
 * 4) In English, title case (when you capitalise the first letter of every proper word) is used only for film and book titles, and proper names. In table headers, it is enough to capitalise the first letter only (for example "Total distance", not "Total Distance").
 * 5) "Seoul", "Mangu" etc. aren't English names, but the Romanized names of Korean locations, which are used in languages with Latin alphabets other than English too, as well as on station displays in Korea; for the specific Romanization system see (and wikilink) Revised Romanization of Korean.
 * 6) To save space, it is useful to write "Station name" only once, and write the three character sets under it. You can do this by creating two header rows, and then using the rowspan and colspan parameters.
 * 7) The first distance should properly be "Station distance".
 * 8) Both station and total distance is measured in kilometres, therefore this is best indicated in a joint cell in the second row of the header.
 * 9) You wikilinked "km" to itself, but "Km" is only a redirect to "Kilometre". In such cases it's better to write the link as " km ".
 * 10) For such wide tables, it is generally a bad idea to fix width in points or pixels: readers will have different screen/window sizes, and different font sizes. That is, when someone else looks at your table on his screen, the table might be too wide or the table cells might be too narrow to contain the words. For standalone tables, I suggest to leave away width declarations completely. If there are multiple tables in the same article and you want to have the same column widths, I suggest to define column width in "em" units (scales by the with of the M letter, whatever character type or font size is set), rather than points ("pt") or pixels. The only complication is that you have to put it in a style parameter (style="width=5em", for example).
 * 11) You can save wikicode by using wiki table code to center rather than HTML tags. You can do this for each cell, by writing "|align="center"|" rather than just "|"; but you can also do it for an entire row, with "|- align="center"", or for the entire table (minus headers) with " style="text-align:center"" added after "class="wikitable"". Note that if you specify one alignment for the row or the entire table, you can still change the setting for individual cells.
 * 12) Centring of kilometre values given to the same precision ("5.3", "165.0") is not easy to overview, they are best presented with a right alignment, so that the decimal points are lined up. You can further improve the look by setting column width and a fixed right padding in em units. I haven't gotten around to edit this in the Gyeongchun Line table, but check the example below in your edit window:


 * {|class="wikitable"

! First column ! Second column !style="width:3.5em"| km ! Fourth column
 * City A
 * align="center"| X
 * align="right" style="padding-right:0.5em"| 0.0
 * Seoul
 * City B
 * align="center"| |
 * align="right" style="padding-right:0.5em"| 5.2
 * Gyeonggi-do
 * City C
 * align="center"| X
 * align="right" style="padding-right:0.5em"| 23.4
 * rowspan="2"| Gangwon-do
 * City D
 * align="center"| X
 * align="right" style="padding-right:0.5em"| 156.0
 * }
 * City D
 * align="center"| X
 * align="right" style="padding-right:0.5em"| 156.0
 * }

Hope this helps. --Rontombontom (talk) 10:40, 18 February 2011 (UTC)


 * You've also gone ahead and removed the information on connecting bus lines . This was in use on many articles. Please restore this or I'm going to just undo your changes wholesale. You've failed to discuss anything and you're breaking multiple articles without explanation.--Crossmr (talk) 23:32, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Huh, I didn't watch out for that – now I see he deleted content from Gyeongchun Line, too. I restored it on my own. --Rontombontom (talk) 16:47, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * After checking the contributions list for the articles I edit, I had to restore content in Jungang Line, too (an Infobox Korean name and a line template), and I remembered that I had to restore a lot in AREX back in January (for example images moved away from corresponding content for no good reason). XenoXiaoyu Josh, your work on tables is commendable as per WP:BOLD, but please don't delete content without any explanation, that goes beyond it. --Rontombontom (talk) 17:03, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Airport Railroad Corporation


The article Airport Railroad Corporation has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "no sources. Is not clear what is that corporation, we have AREX page to talk about that"

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.
