Your submission at Articles for creation: WE Station (September 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by HenryTemplo 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. 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.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:WE Station and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Referendum infobox titles

Hello. Thanks for your work on referendum infoboxes, but please stop using adding names like "Lithuanian constitutional referendum, 1996". You don't need to use the name parameter at all, as it is automatically set to be the same as the article title (which is ordered "1996 Lithuanian constitutional referendum", i.e. with the year first). Cheers, Number 5 7 20:24, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can I suggest that for articles on multiple referendums (like 2009 Liechtenstein referendums) you use a single infobox like 2009 Romanian parliamentary reform referendum, rather than having multiple different infoboxes that are too large for the article?

Also, could you stop adding the {{quote}} to the title section of the infoboxes? It makes the white box around the question unnecessarily large. Cheers, Number 5 7 17:08, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shinkansen

Why did you add headers to the Shinkansen services? do you plan to display only the train names underneath them? Cards84664 17:01, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cards84664 No, I thought it would clarity to the different shinkansen lines, but looking at it now, perhaps a simple "Shinkansen" header (rather than specific Shinkansen lines) would be enough Durian Farmer (talk) 23:04, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your ongoing edits in the HK MTR topic

Hello Durian Farmer, I noticed that you are doing ongoing edits in the HK MTR topic, replacing route name text with templates with links, however I am aware that these edits go against MOS:REPEATLINK guidelines. Please stop your edits and consider if your edits abide to the MOS guidelines. Thanks with regards, Luciferian Thomas 14:12, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@LuciferianThomas I have not replaced any text that weren't links already. However, I will take note of what you ahve said and try to reduce the number of links used on a page. Durian Farmer (talk) 14:19, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, I seem to have overlooked. Keep on your work as needed! Luciferian Thomas 14:23, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding icon sizes

Preceding station	Tōkyū Railways			Following station
Saginuma DT14 towards Chūō-rinkan		Den-en-toshi Line Express Semi-Express		Futako-Tamagawa DT07 towards Shibuya
Kajigaya DT11 towards Chūō-rinkan		Den-en-toshi Line Local		Takatsu DT09 towards Shibuya

Preceding station	Tōkyū Railways			Following station
Saginuma DT14 towards Chūō-rinkan		Den-en-toshi Line Express Semi-Express		Futako-Tamagawa DT07 towards Shibuya
Kajigaya DT11 towards Chūō-rinkan		Den-en-toshi Line Local		Takatsu DT09 towards Shibuya

Which style do you prefer, having local services at size 30, or all icons defaulted to 30? Cards84664 01:16, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cards84664 I think I prefer having all icons defaulted to the same size for consistency. Durian Farmer (talk) 02:10, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. Cards84664 02:31, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed for modification of metro template

Hi @Durian Farmer,

I'll need your help in the design of the infobox template for a metro system in India. I liked the look of the infobox system in MTR and would like to apply this feature in the Namma Metro template to enhance the look of the page. Kindly request to help me the coding part of it. Sameer2905 (talk) 01:46, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken a look at some of the Namma metro stations pages and it seems you've figured it out! Durian Farmer (talk) 22:14, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
