[edit]

Greetings. I invite you to check out WP:LTA/TFD—this user is a long-term vandal who has used manymany IP addresses over manymany years. Warning them is useless—just report them to WP:AIV and move on. I and many other editors have been playing Whac-A-Mole with them forever. Thanks for your help and your vigilance. --Finngall talk 08:55, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know this. I didn't know that it was a LTA IP user. I had a look at the LTA page and see that now. I was patrolling recent changes at the time of this incident. Thanks. PEPSI697 (💬📝) 09:45, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that 121.200.5.98 is part of that also? Please see this history--those reverts you made are useless and only complicate matters for administrators. A dozen or two dozen such reverts only make the vandal enjoy himself. Drmies (talk) 19:59, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prospect Hill

[edit]

Hi,

It appears that you are the author of the comment on the "Riversdale" page, about it being "provisionally called Prospect Hill". I cannot see what reference you have used for this, can you please advise what it was?

Cheers, Geoff. Winkieg (talk) 08:52, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for asking me that question about the Riversdale railway station article. Unfortunately, I don't know where the source for the provision name for "Prospect Hill" came from. It was initially added to this article 4 years ago on 24 May 2020 having a look at the revisions. On the latest revision on 20 August 2024 (latest as of 28 October 2024), I've added additional information about the naming history in the second line of the lede by copying the content from the "Previous names" column in the info-box. If you have any more questions about railway station articles in Melbourne, you can leave me a message on my talk page here. I'm really happy to answer questions about them since I frequently maintain and update the articles and also an expert on railways in Melbourne. Thanks.

Cheers,
I'll see if I can contact the author of the edit.
If you can give me your email address, I can forward to you an image of a letter that contradicts the cited origins of Hartwell & Burwood.

Hello,
I appreciate your response.
I asked my parents for permission if I could share my email to you.
Unfortunately, I don't feel comfortable sharing my email address (my parents agreed with me) to you since this talk page or any other talk pages on Wikipedia are public.
Is there any other way you could share this with me?
If the image is appropriate, not copyrighted, have permission from the original owner or is your own work (taken by you), you can upload it to Wikimedia Commons via commons:Upload Wizard.
The other option (if you feel comfortable) is that you could possibly send me your email address?
Thanks for asking my permission! PEPSI697 (💬📝) 11:11, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi',
I do understand your concerns, and frustratingly I'm a bit of a technology 'dinasaur', and have been becoming more averse to sharing my stuff too openly and broadly.
I do feel a bit of a git now, after having re-read the Burwood page. I did not originally pick up that it had originally been named "Hartwell".
The letter I referred to was written by the 'Assistant Traffic Manager' M Kibble and is dated 21 May 1890. It was preliminary notice for the opening of the section from "Camberwell to Waverley" on May 30, and advises that the stations at Riversdale, Hartwell & Norwood will be opened for passenger traffic, with Riversdale also being available for light goods.
On another note, my delving into the matter of "Prospect Hill" was brought about by an entry in the 'Existing Lines' register dated 11 Feb, 1890:
Signal Engineer; Forwarding plan of proposed signal arrangements at Prospect Hill and asks if it will require a signal box, or if a shelter similar to Mornington Junction will do. // Reply; Signal Box please. // 4/7/90; Completed.
This then posed the question as to which specific location was being referred to, ie, at either end of the future site of East Camberwell, or at Riversdale.
Sadly, after a falling out with Mark, you cannot contact me any longer via victorianrailways.net . Using the same name however, along with @hotmail.com, will work.

We must have edit conflicted on our undo of that edit to Glock (Twinkle does not warn me when I undo something that has already been undone) but my warning got to the IP first. So, we both warned them for the same edit at User talk:2600:8801:1300:8B40:D69F:9B33:819E:E470. --- Meters (talk) 09:39, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed my level 1 warning. Up to you if you want to downgrade your level 2 warning to a level 1. I don't think a level 2 is out of place; I thought about leaving a level 2 right off the bat. Meters (talk) 09:55, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So I've must've coincidentally reverted the same edit as you at the same time. No worries, it's all good. I didn't even realise that you've left a new message the same time. Thanks. PEPSI697 (💬📝) 10:54, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
