February 2020

Stop thinking that the R32s will be retained. MTA clearly said in a video conference at 8:00:02 that the R32s will be retiring by mid 2020

R179

I’ll stop with the edit war. I think we’re carrying this too far. I do wish to discuss about the YouTube steam though and see what we can come up with for the references. A.R.M. 21:18, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ARMcgrath: I just made a talk discussion about this on the R179 page. Take a look and message me there. FlushingLocal (talk) 21:19, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

April 2020

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on R179 (New York City Subway car); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
Brass tacks: First, that source is perfectly valid. It's an official recording of an official meeting hosted on the official channel of the agency wherein the official in charge says in plain English that the R32s are being retired in 2020, replaced by R179s. You have refused to acknowledge that fact.

Secondly, the result of the prior discussion is irrelevant. Between the source and the fact that you are the only one continuously reverting what is, at this point, half a dozen editors, it's clear there's a new consensus, and you are edit warring against that consensus. Stop. That way leads to a block. oknazevad (talk) 17:16, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

R179 New York City subway car

Hi FlushingLocal. You may like to know that the sardonic comment above may just serve as a noose to its arrogant author. He obviously knows the rules otherwise he would not template you with his joke that you are edit-warring while he alone is the reason you have been sucked into it. At the time of my writing, you have reverted TWICE notwithstanding your original edit which removed nothing and therefore cannot be deemed a revert. He however has reverted FOUR TIMES and stands in violation of 3RR, something that cannot be superceded by any editor's personal opinion that they are right and everyone else is wrong. He has done four reverts inside seven hours. If I were you (as admins never listen to IPs), I'd report the case. --94.196.18.251 (talk) 23:21, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PS If you have admitted you were the earlier IP - something legit with robo-logouts which occur according to settings - then you are on three which is still legit provided you don't revert if he tries it a FIFTH time. --94.196.18.251 (talk) 23:23, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I dont exactly know how to report it. How do I do it? FlushingLocal (talk) 23:24, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring - just copy/paste the URLs to each of his last 4/5 contributions. --94.196.18.251 (talk) 23:26, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. You have been edit warring at the article R179 (New York City Subway car). You have already made more than 3 reverts and per WP:3RR you are subject to blocking if you do it again. MelanieN (talk) 23:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC) MelanieN (talk) 23:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MelanieN: I'm sorry excuse me, but how am I the one who is causing the edit warring? I am the one who is trying to STOP it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FlushingLocal (talk • contribs) 23:54, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No single editor can cause an edit war: it takes at least two active participants. When you find yourself in a dispute with another editor, the best thing to do is to take a step back and try to resolve the dispute. Continuing to undo others' edits, especially with shouted edit summaries, adds fuel to the fire of the dispute instead of putting it out. The article has been fully protected now, so you should focus on calmly discussing the changes on the article's talk page. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 00:21, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@AntiCompositeNumber: And I've tried doing that, the other two editors continued to override my edits, despite my telling them multiple times to PLEASE go on the talk page. But I will try doing that again.

R32s are retired

I apologize if I have been an @$$hole over the R179 page these past few days, but it is now official: the R32s have been retired from NYC Subway service. Here's the official car assignments from the MTA: https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/93116117_242611760125712_5319767005589405696_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_sid=b96e70&_nc_ohc=MO2jjGYsdKQAX-TH92X&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=3fe159830d927100fb07a5d07129b94f&oe=5EC88183

Please tell the others about this so that the edit war on the R179 page can stop. Thanks.

Oh yeah, the user MG2 Parker was apparently a sock puppet, so he/she is blocked now.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to R179 (New York City Subway car), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia. ETI 15TrSF (Chat Box) 21:04, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Um, @Eti15TrSf: why are you posting this on MY page? Your the one that keeps edit warring with the other editor over something that's not even that serious. It is sourced material which is why I was going to add the references to it until you overrode my edit. Clearly if there are three editors telling you to leave something on a page, then it is important.

Are you blind? It is clearly unsourced information that is too trivial. Nobody gives a sod about model year. Nobody gives a sod about last unit in service. And quite honestly, the statement "3 buses under private ownership" is not only unsourced, but it is absolutely meaningless and useless. Stop adding unsourced trivia to the article. ETI 15TrSF (Chat Box) 21:15, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Eti15TrSf: OK you seem to have an attitude problem, so ill just ask the mods if they think it's worth adding to the article and we will go from there. Good day sir.

Nope I just think you don't what know what useless trivia is. ETI 15TrSF (Chat Box) 17:50, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
