Spam in your signature and user page

Hi @QuarioQuario54321, I just wanted to warn you that your user page being used as promotion is inappropriate, and so is your signature calling for people to subscribe. If you don’t want to see this notice on your page soon, you should change it pronto. Just a heads up! — HTGS (talk) 01:18, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of toll roads in the United States, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page K-tag. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

CRRC Massachusetts moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, CRRC Massachusetts, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Rusalkii was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by FeralOink were:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

Edit summaries

Hey. No offense, but could you be a little bit more meaningful when writing your edit summaries? I stumbled across some of your edits with summaries that seemed to have no relation to the edits themselves (e.g. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]). Further things to consider when writing an edit summary are listed at Help:Edit summary. Thank you. Nyamo Kurosawa (talk) 15:58, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also - please start using better edit summaries. I've stumbled on a few of your edits that have vague edit summaries, many of which are indecipherable, irrelevant to your changes, or at worst, disparaging (1, 2, 3, 4).

@QuarioQuario54321: I agree with the concerns above. I also want to politely ask you again to use more precise edit summaries (= don't include stuff not relevant to the edit made), although I aknowledge that your edit summaries do have improved over the past months. Regarding as quickly as possible: there is no rush; it is perfectly fine if you take your time to make sure that an edit is correct (and cite sources when you introduce new content).

November 2022

Information icon Please do not use misleading edit summaries when making changes to Wikipedia pages. This behavior is viewed as disruptive, and continuation may result in loss of editing privileges. Examples: Special:Diff/1124469789, Special:Diff/1124506941, Special:Diff/1124508460, and Special:Diff/1124509787. XAM2175 (T) 21:57, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022

Information icon Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Tokyu 300 series. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please see MOS:LARGENUM, and please stop removing spaces between opposing parentheses. It looks unprofessional and hinders readability. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 02:01, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted them on MOS:LARGENUM grounds several times now and evidently they've completely ignored it if they're still going. XAM2175 (T) 10:48, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is too confusing I cannot understand it QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 21:26, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at MVG Class A, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. You have been reminded of the policy at MOS:LARGENUM several times now, but you still make edits like this one that suggest that you either don't understand the policy or that you are choosing to not follow it. Please remember that editors are expected to engage in productive discussion whenever there is disagreement. XAM2175 (T) 18:57, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted another of your edits for this problem, this time at ER200. The relevant part of the MOS:LARGENUM policy is as follows:

The number of decimal places should be consistent within a list or context (The response rates were 41.0 and 47.4 percent, respectively, not 41 and 47.4 percent), unless different precisions are actually intended.

This means that when you come to an article that has a structure like ER200 did,
  • carlength = 26,000 mm
  • width = 3,130 mm
  • height = 4,200 mm
you need to keep the same number of significant figures across all the attributes in the list:
  • carlength = 26.000 m, not 26 m
  • width = 3.130 m, not 3.13 m
  • height = 4.200 m, not 4.2 m
Please respond showing that you understand this, otherwise it will become increasingly difficult to assume you're not deliberately ignoring it. XAM2175 (T) 17:41, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I find it generally too confusing but I normally don’t find that many decimals used at a time. QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A very simple suggestion - and I'm not being rude or facetious saying this - if you find it confusing then stop doing it. Leave it to others to handle the {{convert}} parts in articles. Concentrate on doing what you're good at and confident at to further the quality of rail related articles. 10mmsocket (talk) 22:35, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am seemingly the only person doing it though QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 02:18, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not true. I quite often adjust MOS:NUM problems in articles. Again, there are many other ways you can make a positive contribution so why not focus on those? It's much better to get along with others than continually wind them up as you are doing right now. Don't go down the road of having sanctions such as topic bans or blocks imposed, it rarely ends happily. 10mmsocket (talk) 08:08, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The policy exists because the number of decimal places has meaning: they describe the precision of the measurement, and so adding or removing them affects how readers understand the article. It doesn't matter that some articles didn't have them to begin with.
Your efforts to add conversions where articles do not have them is appreciated; all we're asking you to do is to follow the Manual of Style and not adjust the number of decimal places used by the original measurements in the article. XAM2175 (T) 14:15, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally, please note that when converting ranges of numbers (like "100 to 150") you need to split the range apart in the {{convert}} template, like this {{convert|200|to|250|km/h|abbr=on}} rather than this {{convert|200 to 250|km/h|4=0|abbr=on}}. Please check that the conversion has worked as you planned before saving, as I just had to fix seven instances of this in the High-speed rail in Europe article. XAM2175 (T) 15:02, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That does not appear to exist when using the visual editor though. But it does work as planned in my experience. QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 15:06, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I apologise – there was an error with one in particular, but you're correct that it does appear to actually work. The documentation for the template continues to suggest that you need to split the terms. XAM2175 (T) 15:17, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That does not excuse modifying pre-existing conversions to use non-standard formatting. Please don't do that again. I suggest you review the documentation for the Convert template if you haven't already. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 22:29, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Most other train articles drop all the zeros at the end regardless of the sig figs and set them manually or use a fraction in the inches. QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 21:52, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at IC4. Once again, please review and try your best to honor MOS:LARGENUM. Not being able to understand a style guideline does not mean you can ignore it. XAM2175 offered an excellent explanation above, and some articles not following style guides does not mean other articles shouldn't follow them either. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 02:07, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why you're still flagrantly disregarding the Manual of Style – you appear to have made zero effort to comprehend the guideline – but if this is going to be a recurring issue, should sanctions be sought against you? XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 06:55, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's still too confusing and most of the time it seems conformity with unofficial de facto standards is done instead of going with the de jure standards QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 19:40, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
With respect, the part you're getting wrong is quite simple – all you need to do is not delete zeroes after the decimal. That's it. If you see an article has "26,500 mm", you can change it to 26.500 m, but not 26.5 m. The fact that "it seems conformity with unofficial de facto standards is done instead of going with the de jure standards" doesn't matter, because following the Manual of Style isn't optional and the other people who are not following it are also wrong.
If you still can't understand the policy after this I'm afraid all I can suggest is that you stop working with conversions. This would be disappointing because many of your edits have been helpful, but if you keep editing without understanding the policies one of us here will have to report you to the administrators. XAM2175 (T) 20:06, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just another reminder that your continued disregard for the Manual of Style, despite three warnings within the past week and multiple reverts, is disruptive and may lead to sanctions being sought against you, such as blocks or topic bans. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 19:16, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at British Rail Class 600. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 02:24, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And at this Class 799 diff, which included losing 3 cm when changing 19.830 m to 19.80 m. XAM2175 (T) 14:13, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That one I can tell you was a mistake I didn't catch QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 16:40, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Do you realise that you shouldn't have changed it at all? XAM2175 (T) 16:52, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Double spaces

I hate them. They are stupid. However, I mostly ignore them as that's what Wikipedia does too. It's lovely to know that the knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing double spacers, who mostly put double spaces in by habit because that's how they were taught, are completely wasting their time because Wikipedia has been programmed to undermine them. Bottom line - I'm sure you can find better things to fix! 10mmsocket (talk) 22:09, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

National varieties of English

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit to the page Inner West Light Rail, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style.

You again changed the spellings of Airport link line (Shanghai Suburban Railway) in this edit to use a different version of English without prior discussion. This may not have been intentional, but please make sure you're preserving pre-existing varieties of English. Thanks. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 16:52, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at Lianggang Express line. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 13:38, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I really hope you're heeding these messages. If you continue changing English varieties in articles without prior discussion after this, I'm not sure if I can continue assuming good faith or no clue (i.e. sanctions may be sought against you). You've been encouraged on several occasions to review the documentation for the {{Convert}} template, which does have the ability to align with the English variety style guide. In spite of this, you appear to have shown minimal (if any) indication, besides when you're repeatedly issued warnings, that you either understand the policies or, even when you don't, that you will at least try to do better and take accountability for the numerous stylistic issues you introduced, knowingly or not. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 14:16, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was a very subtle change and since it's not centered on the English speaker world does it even matter? QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 22:04, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Per MOS:RETAIN:

When an English variety's consistent usage has been established in an article, maintain it in the absence of consensus to the contrary. With few exceptions (e.g., when a topic has strong national ties or the change reduces ambiguity), there is no valid reason for changing from one acceptable option to another.

XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 22:35, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@XtraJovial: MOS:RETAIN is in regards to WP:ENGVAR. I looked at the two edits made at Lianggang Express line (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), and while I see a typographical error when adding conversion templates, I don't see a change in US-English vs. British-English. At the time you issued your warning, this was the only edit Quario had made to that article. What am I missing? —Locke Cole • t • c 00:13, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh, metre vs. meter. I feel like there are better ways to communicate that than to use a template like this. You're not dealing with a vandal, clearly... —Locke Cole • t • c 00:25, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Noted - thanks. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 00:27, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And to the casual viewer they might not even notice so does it really matter with this subtle change? QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 00:28, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It does, meter vs. metre is an WP:ENGVAR concern. Also worth noting the guidance at MOS:UNITNAMES: In prose, unit names should be given in full if used only a few times, but symbols may be used when a unit (especially one with a long name) is used repeatedly, after spelling out the first use. It's tempting to just use "km", but MOS clearly wants the first instance spelt out completely. —Locke Cole • t • c 00:57, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, and as subtle as they may be, you should refer to MOS:RETAIN, as well as MOS:VAR, the latter of which states: If you believe an alternative style would be more appropriate for a particular article, discuss this at the article's talk page (emphasis mine). In the three articles I've linked to in this and the above section, the English variety has clearly been established, even with the absence of a "Use X English" template, so unless there is consensus to change the English variety in an article, please preserve the pre-existing variety. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 01:32, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You have again changed the English variety in this edit without prior discussion. Please stop doing that. If you have issues with the spelling variety used in an article, you should discuss first instead of doubling down on your disruptive editing. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 21:37, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was so small I didn’t even notice and most people won’t care really QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 22:41, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
MOS:RETAIN completely refutes your argument. The point is that you should not be changing English varieties in articles without prior discussion, no matter how "small" the change you made is. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 23:23, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It does kind of make you wish templates could create and access global variables (like a template that sets the style of English used once at the top, and then the various convert templates could respect it unless overridden with a parameter that explicitly sets it). —Locke Cole • t • c 23:43, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for preserving the existing precision when making this edit. XAM2175 (T) 23:43, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to NSW TrainLink D set, where you changed "short" to "narrow" did not fix an error; it created one. If you had checked the source, you would have seen it clearly says Ms Doyle said platforms at Blue Mountain stations such as Linden and Warrimoo would also be too short for the new trains, which would be up to 205 metres long.[1]
Please pay more attention when making edits like this. XAM2175 (T) 16:20, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming request

Hello.

Can you change the name of Gatineau LRT to Gatineau Tramway? The projected tramway network's official name in French is "Tramway de Gatineau" and consequently its English translation is "Gatineau Tramway". It is not going to be named "Transit léger sur rail de Gatineau" or "TLR de Gatineau", hence Gatineau LRT. (Example: Quebec City Tramway, which is under construction.)

Yours sincerely, 31.200.18.125 (talk) 12:41, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Um what? Why me? QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 12:41, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Because I am an IP user, I cannot rename the article and I assumed that you might do it. The French "TLR" and English "LRT" names will not be included in the name of the Gatineau tramway network, which is projected to be 100% a tramway network and not a light metro separate from the street traffic. 31.200.18.125 (talk) 16:05, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And why did you choose me out of all people? Making an account is not hard QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 16:05, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I see that you have been very offended when I asked you for a request. I have come across users who were even flaterred when I asked them for a request, but never before an angry reaction (I think unfairly) like this. That is why I withdraw the request. 31.200.18.125 (talk) 16:36, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Your edits to Michael Zyda showed a clear disregard for WP:BLP, including WP:BLPSPS (citing YouTube videos), and using student newspapers for serious allegations that haven't been covered by mainstream sources. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:56, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
