Links to N I Railways

Hi IkbenFrank. I'm going to revert a few of your recent edits (Lifford and Strabane as examples) as you can't just add a link to a timetable in the body of an article nor is Wikipedia and place for links. What you did at Portrush is better as at least it is in some context but again I will be removing the direct link but leave the text. Bjmullan (talk) 21:24, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Lough Foyle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Greencastle (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Cambridge, please cite a reliable source for your addition.

Stations in South Wales

Hi, this navbox that you've been adding to lots of station articles - why is it not set up as a template? That way, the code needs to be in only one place, and for an amendment, you don't need to go through every article all over again. --Redrose64 (talk) 23:15, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

OK, seeing as you didn't reply, I've fixed them all up. The template is {{Commuter Stations: Cardiff Local Lines run by Arriva Trains Wales}} - the name was kind of forced on me because you had used |name=Commuter Stations: Cardiff Local Lines run by Arriva Trains Wales.

Please see: (i) WP:NAV for general information on navboxes; (ii) WP:TEMPLATE on how to create and use templates; (iii) WP:FOOTERS on where navboxes should be placed. --Redrose64 (talk) 00:30, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of A32 road (Northern Ireland), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: A32 road (Ireland). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot (talk) 12:25, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

There's some mileage in this

Hi IkbenFrank, I've noticed (and support) the mileage you added to A48 road. The normal way of doing this is to use the convert template which keeps a uniform style and prioritises mileage in UK/US articles. It also supports many other units of measure. The syntax I have used on your edit is:

{{convert|27|mi|adj=on}}

which reads as 27-mile (43 km). The adj parameter deletes the "s" from "miles", for normal expressions of length you would simply use:

{{convert|27|mi}}

which reads as 27 miles (43 km). Hope you find this useful in your editing! Baldy Bill (sharpen the razor|see my reflection) 12:10, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

United Kingdom

Hello, Please stop adding images to United Kingdom without gaining support from other editors on the article's talk page. The question of which images to use on that important page has been much discussed over time and it is no use one editor arbitrarily adding more pictures without consultation.

Categories

Hi, please add new categories with the existing cats - at the bottom (but before any stub templates), per WP:FOOTERS. In this edit (and several others), you put the category somewhat earlier on; and in that edit, you also broke a link by inserting a newline into the word "Halifax".

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Salthill. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Charles (talk) 13:16, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Irish connections

Hi. I know it's 6 months late, but I just noticed and removed your addition of Irish ferry information from Bristol Parkway railway station. While I have no doubt what you added is accurate, it's not particularly relevant - your statement seems to be that with two changes, you could be in Ireland. The same could be said of France and Belgium via Eurostar, or pretty much any country in the world by getting a train to Paddington, changing for a Heathrow Express, then getting on a plane. Generally in a station article I'd be wary of even mentioning places you can get to by a single change (although I make an exception for branch line stations). Anyway, this is all old news, but I thought I should clarify my thinking on this. Thanks for making UK rail articles better! -mattbuck (Talk) 18:14, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Category:Railway stations opened by British Rail

Please stop adding Category:Railway stations opened by British Rail indiscriminately. The category is not for reopenings, but for stations that were first opened between 1 January 1948 and 31 March 1994. For stations first opened outside that period, other categories exist, and most of the station articles that you have edited were already in one of those. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:31, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

I would like to draw your attention again to my note of six months ago; in particular, any station first opened on or after 1 April 1994 was not opened by British Rail but by one of its successor organisations. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:49, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

No heading for the lede

Your addition of a section heading to the lede of the Euston article was reverted, but you added it again (so I reverted it again).

Proposed deletion of Dublin Bus Route 53

The article Dublin Bus Route 53 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is not a travel guide or whatever. There is no reason given why this particular bus route is in any way notable. Buscruft.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The UK and trains in decade articles

There is absolutely no reason to separate the UK from Europe in political activities.

As for trains, something along the lines of the automobile section seems appropriate, but you've added entirely too much detail, and probably not about the most notable railways. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 21:20, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

The US is part of the Americas in the political sections; why should the UK not be part of Europe. I'm not going to revert you again, but yuo have not supplied credible justification for separating out the UK. Furthermore, the nonstandard header level used for Europe makes it impossible to put the UK at a sub-level, where it would belong, if separated. I'm going to put a content tag on the articles you've (IMO) damaged. Please self-revert until consensus can be obtained, as information is likely to get lost when putting it back.

You're probably correct about railroads, though. I'll ping Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains for more input.

Finally, you should reply in this thread. You are not using the agreed communication conventions by (1) replying on my talk page, (2) not signing your statements, and (3) not using proper header conventions. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 21:44, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Please also read WP:OVERLINK, WP:EGG, and WP:SEAOFBLUE. Please comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Years#Decades, the UK and Europe, and trains, if you can do so without damaging the structure. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 22:18, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

You haven't read any of my suggested reading. You're also not supplying the correct header level. Politics must remain level 3, making continents level 4, and the countries (including the UK) level 5. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 23:29, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Since you refuse to discuss the matter on any talk page, I have no choice other than to request you be blocked. To do other than just revert all changes in the sections, including any additions made by others, would take more time than maintenance of the articles is worth. See centralized discussion in WT:YEARS. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:18, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

2010s Prominent Political events

Hello there, we appreciate your determination and good faith in editing the 2010s page but please be mindful in what you edit. Major edits, for example, giving the United Kingdom its own section in the prominent political events, is contradictory to page's format and should not be edited without discussion. Said discussion can be made in the Talk:2010s page. Also, additional United Kingdom events should be discussed on the talk page so as to not overflow the section with unnecessary events. For now, your edits will be undone to keep with the article's format. Thank you. ProjectHorizons (talk) 17:14, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

HEADINGS RAIL NATIONALISATION

Hi I have noticed that you have changed a heading in the Limehouse entry to Rail Nationalisation 1949-1994. Over the past months (years maybe I lost track) I have been updating various East Anglian and South Eastern station history sections and consistently using British Railways as this sub-heading title. It generally fits with other operators LNER (1923-1947) and GER (1862-1922) in the other time periods. I am not going to go through and change all my edits to Rail Nationalisation as I am far more interested in posting historical detail on what are generally poor entries rather than this type of repetitive activity. In the spirit of Wikipedia friendship and co-operation would be grateful if you could re-consider your alteration here and revert it so there is a consistent format. If you do feel this is a better way of representing the historical periods then feel free to change all my other entries - I have no interest in edit warring just consistency. Cheers.--Davidvaughanwells (talk) 14:06, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Smog into Commuting. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you.

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they effect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=6ybvGHdBVVUDi1D_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_57rnLKaLyg0bGSN&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 20:51, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

More shoehorning of bicycle rack images

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Gloucestershire. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Continuing to inappropriately promote WP:FRINGE interests of cycling (and trains) by adding what most would regard as non central images and other content to articles WP:IUP whilst continuing to ignore discussion is continuing to be disruptive. Hence content is being reverted but you are welcome to discuss for consensus or third party mediation on the appropriate article talk page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djm-leighpark (talk • contribs) 20:34, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Edit summaries

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:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

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

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Communication problems with IkbenFrank. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:40, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

October 2017

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to insert fringe or undue weight content into articles, you may be blocked from editing. Articles on Wikipedia do not give fringe material equal weight to majority viewpoints; content in articles are given representation in proportion to their prominence. The image relating to Irish Language give undue prominence to Railways, which appears to be one of your pet subjects. As such it continues to be disruptive and I have undone it from Tipperary and Status of the Irish language (the latter *might* have been more acceptable if there wasn't already a tram and there was more prominence of the Irish language signs ... the presence of 3 non prominent signs in a larger picture is interesting I' not sure is works on articles). In general if you introduce railways to a non railway article the result will almost certainly be low level disruption. I can possibility understand you have tried to see how far you can go shoehorning pet subjects into inappropriate articles .... the answer is likely the community cannot afford to tolerate it and I would guess will lead to a resurrection of the ANI and quite possibly an immediate block. On the plus side a couple of your recent edits for example Sligo have been helpful and more edits like those are appreciated and you use of edit summaries is also noted as a plus point.Djm-leighpark (talk) 12:32, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

November 2017

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Welsh Language. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. ………Despite the request at #Edit summaries recently you appear to be continuing not to use edit summaries. While you correctly and usefully identified information that Welsh Language is used in services in a church in London and that this may be useful for Welsh Language speakers the manner this was added to the See also section was sub-optimal and non-obvious. But the really important point is you have continued to ignore the community request to use edit summaries despite an earlier request. As such WP:DISRUPTSIGNS continue to apply and a level 2 warning is probably appropriate. Your edit has been undone then redone with an edit summaryDjm-leighparkDjm-leighpark (talk) 11:07, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Stranorlar railway station, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Strabane railway station (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Meuse/Maas

Hi Ikben, could I ask you to please stop changing Meuse to Maas. Although both are used in English, "Meuse" is about twice as common in book sources and so we don't prefer "Maas" over "Meuse". Thanks. Bermicourt (talk) 06:23, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Railway stations opened by British Rail is inappropriate

Please stop making edits like this. The category page states, right at the top, "This category is for railway stations in Great Britain first opened by British Railways or British Rail, i.e. between 1 January 1948 and 31 March 1994". Please observe the words "first opened". For reopened stations we categorise by original company, and this particular one already has Category:Former North British Railway stations. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:19, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Rhys & Mommsen references on Turkdean

Hi, Ages ago you added references to Rhys 1901, pp. 520–2 & Mommsen 1898 p.217 to the Turkdean. I was wondering if you still had the relevant books and could add the full details?— Rod ^talk 19:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Linkspam/cycleni.com

Hello. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be misplaced and/or inappropriate for the project. Repeatedly adding links to the same site or page (across multiple articles), as you did here, here and elsewhere, is generally considered a form of WP:LINKSPAM. Issues are exacerbated when the links added have very limited relevance to the article subject, and when the links are added to the body (or "see also" sections). Where external links (of any kind) should not be included. Please consider your motivations for adding links to this website across multiple unrelated articles (and whether these edits are consistent with the content, LINKSPAM, EL, PROMO and MOS guidelines).

Proposed deletion of Botanic Avenue

The article Botanic Avenue has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not established with substantive sources or even asserted beyond bare existence

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
