Return of the MRT stations "station layout" problem

For a bit of background info, check here and mainly here

Over the past few weeks or so I have discovered that many MRT articles (like this one) have had their "station layout" section removed. I had consulted User:LAi zhen kang for more info as he had reverted this edit, who in turn recommended me to consult you.

(So, here we go again...)

May I ask why is the "station layout" section removed? Based on your earlier answer to User:LAi zhen kang on your talk page, you said:

regardless of ones confusement we shouldn't really be listing these - They below on the bus station or transport operators website

Looking at the train operator's websites (for example its websites for City Hall MRT Station); and , it is clear that SMRT does not publish such info, hence the need for such a section. JaventheAldericky (talk) 16:32, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

Exactly - if they don't publish it then we don't need to either, Station exits and layouts don't need to be included as they're not notable, Thanks. –Davey2010 16:52, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

A toast: To a happy ending of a brief horror wiki-story... Codename Lisa (talk) 20:12, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Cheers!, How I never spotted it earlier I will never ever know but regardless it was entirely my fault and so I apologise, Anyway happy editing (and hopefully we'll meet again albeit in a nicer way!), Thanks, –Davey2010 20:19, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Fiat Punto

Good morning? Why did you delete my photo on Fiat Punto? The old image isn't adequate, because it shows only II generation, while the page speaks about all generations of the car, shown in my photo. The old image is still present in the description of II generation. If you delete my photo, I pretend an explanation. (sorry for my English) --Moxmarco (talk) 07:43, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Moxmarco - The image doesn't show in the article and it doesn't show in Commons neither, Thanks, –Davey2010 11:22, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

I don't understand your comment. I see the inage without problems. Moxmarco — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moxmarco (talk • contribs) 11:26, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Moxmarco - See the images on the right, Thanks, –Davey2010 12:49, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank You. I don't understand why this happens, I'll try to solve the problem.--Moxmarco (talk) 18:18, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Check now and tell me if it is ok. I see the image. --Moxmarco (talk) 18:21, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Nope the images don't work - Could you add the infobox to your userpage and fix it there instead of constantly reverting me ?, As your edits are essentially edit tests they should be done in your userpage :), Thanks, –Davey2010 18:25, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

An image, not working, of a Fiat Punto. How canny... Cassianto 18:50, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

• When I look at all of the revisions that Moxmarco made, the image displays for me. I wonder if it's possible you're having a browser anomaly—or maybe there was some MediaWiki bug that has cleared up spontaneously. Do you see it here? Rivertorch_WATER 20:00, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Rivertorch, Ah the image shows now and also shows in all of the revisions, Well FWIW the laptop's been struggling as of late so I have no idea if it was related to the laptop, Chrome or whether it was MediaWiki related, Should've tried on Firefox, Anyway I'm not so sure if the image is an improvement over the current one ?, Thanks, –Davey2010 20:36, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

It's a very useful image that probably would work better somewhere other than the infobox. Rivertorch_WATER 20:40, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

I agree I do think it's a pretty cool image but just not really sure where to even place it, I'll figure something out, Anyway thanks for popping by :), –Davey2010 20:48, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hi Davey, thank you for your comments at my RfA. Your support is much appreciated! Cheers, ansh666 19:35, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

List of pharmacies

Davey2010 Hi Davey, I added 3 names in online pharmacies but you removed all the three. Medlife is Indias Banglore based pharmacy scaling its e-pharmacy operations in millions through its website and application. There are many links but you can check this link. Another Pharmeasy is pharmacy application and Pharmacy aggregator which also scales up to Rs 111 Crore. Heres the link. Third, ChemistOnline which was second medicine portal of India who had FDA Enquieires but now again resumed. here's link . Kindly please allow these names. There are very famous in India and working at PAN India level. I request you to search their names on Google news to know the facts of companies dealing in billions. Hope to receive a positive reply and undo the edit. Thanks a lot. Shweta Shwetamits (talk) 07:56, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Shwetamits, These aren't notable hence being reverted, These need to be actual articles not external links, Thanks, –Davey2010 12:29, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Davey2010 , Thanks for your reply. Can you please tell what means "actual articles". I am new user since few months and naive for few things. Thanks a lot. Shweta Shwetamits (talk) 06:21, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Issue with IP editor

I'm looking for your help. After I cleaned up and reverted edits to Talkradio and Virgin Radio UK the IP editor has reverted me and put the page back to his revision without providing a reason. I'm coming to you for this as you thanked me for my original edit. I don't want to keep reverting as of course that should be avoided and I fear that if I did he would just ignore it like he did to my edit summaries so I'm coming to a more experienced editor who isn't part of this and asking you to speak to him so that he doesn't do it again.

Thanks, The boss 1998 (talk) 16:47, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi The boss 1998, If the IP reverts again I'll take them to AN3 or AIV, Thanks for your note :), Happy editing, –Davey2010 16:55, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I guess we just wait and see if he does it again or responds to your message on his talk page. Then we can take it further if we need to. The boss 1998 (talk) 17:04, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

No worries thanks for letting me know, I have a feeling it's gonna be the former but who knows :), Cheers. –Davey2010 18:32, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Hey, Davey2010. I'd like to wish you a wonderful First Edit Day on behalf of the Misplaced Pages Birthday Committee! Have a great day! Lepricavark (talk) 23:07, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

You old git! Here's to another seven years. Cassianto 23:23, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Lepricavark & Cassianto :) .... I should probably admit tho I've only been here since 2012 so only 4-5 years, Tell you what I don't feel like I can do 1 year let alone another 5!, Anyway thanks both :), –Davey2010 00:14, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

template:reflist

My intention for my revert at Ella Anderson was mostly to let you know that the defaults have changed on that template in case you were not aware. I don't care much either way and I definitely was not going to edit war over something that minor. I'm sorry that I ended up annoying you, it was not my intention. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:37, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi Geraldo Perez, First off I apologise for getting worked up over it and I apologise for assuming bad faith with you, Tbh I had no idea about there being over 10 refs I just assumed it was fine for any number, Not sure about anyone else but "30em" always looks neater to me but I can see from an outside perspective it might seem a pointless edit,

I'm not having a go but it might be a good idea to come to my talkpage first as that way I can read it all before reverting you that's all,

Anyway thanks for kindly popping by and again my apologies for earlier - Happy editing :), –Davey2010 16:55, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Davey2010, I would advise against using 30em for refs if there are less than 10 refs, and especially if there are less than 6 – I've seen editors use the equiv. of "2-column" format when there is just one or two refs, and it tends look ridiculous, if it doesn't just outright render the sourcing unreadable... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:41, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

If there's anything over 4 then I do it but if there's anything below then I don't, Anyway noted, Thanks, –Davey2010 18:47, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Thanks for your work with WP:ENGVAR maintenance, I was about to amend one and saw you got there first!

A Modest Barnstar for you

		The Modest Barnstar
		I want to thank you for being passionate about Misplaced Pages's verifiability. Specifically, when dealing with the swarm of IP editors (many, I believe are from a single IP-hopper) making subtle, unsourced edits to automotive articles. As someone who's been using Misplaced Pages for over a decade to get relatively fluff-free and reliably-sourced information on cars, especially when I'm in the market for one, I appreciate the shift out of someone who takes their time to keep the articles that way. - GS ⋙ ☎ 23:08, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

• Hi GrapefruitSculpin, Thanks so much!, I and many others here do our best to keep this place fluff free but as you've seen it's not easy at times , Thanks also for your help with these IPs :), Happy editing, –Davey2010 01:11, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Ariana Grande

Hi. Do you think that anything in this People magazine article belongs in the Ariana Grande-related articles? For example:

• the stuff about her character, generally, in the main Ariana Grande article
• the stuff about her returning to her Dangerous Woman Tour after the Manchester Arena bombing either in that article, in the Dangerous Woman Tour article or elsewhere?

I'm on the fence about it. If you think so, please feel free to go ahead and add whatever you think is appropriate. Happy editing! -- Ssilvers (talk) 09:35, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ssilvers, If I'm being absolutely honest I wouldn't use it - It seems like a gossip magazine if that makes sense ... The thing that goes around my head is "Surely there's better sources" .... Anyway If it were me I would probably go to the talkpage and see what others thought but then again we're all different so if you wanna use it then that's up to you :),

As for what it could be used for - I would probably say thing I guess, Cheers, –Davey2010 13:08, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, will do. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:29, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

A message

Good timings Davey2010, somebody told you things are very clear like source of news could be wrong, it depends what you think the information is make any sense of not. Do not even try to put where the new sources(news) come from that not confirmed right away. Think about this, like sedan cars dimension how big they are to input the class correctly. Also if a term of the word's color is red, presents the page is not confirmed, and it will have to be fixed to let the word change it back to blue. Another example is: I found Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 it has 9-speed 9G-TRONIC automatic, there has something wrong over the page. To be honest, you must not revert or undid the page without our permission until someone's found something wrong or make some new updates on it. So you have to read and think what is our opinion. Dude It's very important to let everyone in the world looks at the pages are correctly. Don't be like a bot, change yourself please thank you! We hope you understood what are we saying! If you don't like our ideas edit, go make your own new wiki website to put the information that you like @Davey2010 and @GrapefruitScuplpin! Cause we do not trust you, that you given to old and wrong wiki pages! you do know all bmw, Mercedes, and audi are all luxury class cars! — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterJohnson12345678 (talk • contribs) 19:56, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi PeterJohnson12345678, Please read WP:OWN - You, I or anyone else OWNs an article - They're part of the encyclopedia and as such anyone can obviously edit, Also this is a collaborative project which means you need to discuss changes especially when you're reverted,

Now as per WP:BRD you need to go to the talkpage (and as Floq says on your talkpage you need to stick to one account!),

Thanks, –Davey2010 20:43, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
