Happy editing! Imzadi 1979 → 02:40, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- You may want to slow down a little bit. You were trying to add a lot of content to Pennsylvania Turnpike all at once, and there were a lot of spelling and formatting errors in there. It may be smart to start smaller and work up to larger edits once you've built some editing and writing skills. Imzadi 1979 → 02:42, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- i readded them without the typos. If I missed some, please help. Cfeddse (talk) 14:42, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- I looked at the changes introduced just today and stopped counting at around a dozen misspellings before I just reverted everything back to a proper state. You're being overly ambitious to make that many changes with that error rate. Please slow down substantially before you edit the article again. You're creating a lot of work cleaning up things for other editors, and frankly, it's going to be easier to just remove everything you're adding than to try to sort through it all and apply corrections. It appears that this is an issue on more than one article as well from the comments here. Imzadi 1979 → 19:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- What other than typos are you talking about? Cfeddse (talk) 19:24, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- From your edits:
- "estmated"
- "Mutiple imprvemnets"
- "cmprsion"
- "strech"
- "raod"
- "strcutures"
- At least one case of a "form" that should be a "from"
- "the Interchange" (shouldn't be capitalized in that form)
- That's just in one paragraph. I found more in other paragraphs, including "Delalware River"
- There was also a mention of the FHWA for a decision in 1964; that agency wasn't created until 1966. Later on, I found "replaceing" and a few other typos.
- There were missing spaces jamming a parenthetical into the preceding word, double spaces that aren't needed and other formatting errors, also in that same paragraph. There were three broken footnotes plus three URL/link-only citations with no additional details. Imzadi 1979 → 19:44, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- When your referring to me capsizing interchange, are you also referring to when its a specific one as well? (i.e New Stanton Interchange) Because if so, isn't that a location, and as such should be capitalized? What you're referring to was an accident though. And also, I wasn't the one who wrote the FHWA stuff, that was from an older revision, I only added it to add a detail. Cfeddse (talk) 20:21, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- "New Stanton Interchange" is correct but "the Interchange" is not. Without the extra detail, it's not a proper name but a generic name. In that latter case, the word should not be capitalized.
- There's still the issues of a lot of typos and other errors being introduced, so I again, I suggest as a new editor that you crawl before you walk and walk before you run. That is unless you're not a new editor, then I'd wonder why you have a new account. Imzadi 1979 → 20:27, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm CFA. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Blue Mountain (Pennsylvania), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. C F A 💬 15:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- But why? It already isn't sourced, not like it matters. Cfeddse (talk) 17:08, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

[edit]The issue was not the information you added - the issue was the various errors you introduced. "It" was misspelled, "original" was capitalized for no reason, a section header was removed, and the citation was a bare url rather than being properly formatted. You can see here how I fixed these issues. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:36, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
