When determining what course of action should be taken about a disruptive, tendentious or bothersome editor, the primary concern – more important than precedents, consistency, fairness or even AGF – is which option will best serve the building of an encyclopedia.

" are characterized by personality traits that fall in the so-called Dark Tetrad: Machiavellianism (willingness to manipulate and deceive others), narcissism (egotism and self-obsession), psychopathy (the lack of remorse and empathy), and sadism (pleasure in the suffering of others)."

We all tend to take Misplaced Pages much too seriously. It's certainly important to provide a free first-class online encyclopedia for the public, and no one can dispute how central Misplaced Pages has become to people searching for accurate, unbiased information, but there's little excuse for the bitterness, in-fighting and bitchiness with which many people approach editing here, which makes the experience difficult and unpleasant at times. I am generally in favor of removing the worst of those transgressors permanently, which, of course, leaves me open to the charge of not assuming good faith. Actually, I have little trouble assuming good faith, I simply refuse to keep the assumption alive in the face of evidence of misbehavior.

"He used . . . sarcasm.
Oh, he knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor,
bathos, puns, parody, litotes and satire."

"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof
is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."

Misplaced Pages is a project to create and improve an online encyclopedia which is as accurate and as useful to its readers as possible. It is not an MMORPG, a debating society or an experiment to create the ideal online community. Activities which do not, in some direct or closely indirect way, contribute to that goal are a waste of the project's resources and should be minimized as much as possible.

- Learn the lesson that collectively, Misplaced Pages doesn't want to be saved, it's not even very concerned about being fixed. It is quite happy being what it is, flawed or not.

- Most importantly: Stay uninvolved, learn not to care.

About undoing R46 edit

The armrest is a notable picture on the article, since, the R46 and the R44 are the only trains in the New York City subway system that has armrest. ( Notable images= images of things that are not found everywhere. ) I am not saying what you did was wrong, it was ok to remove Emergency Brake photo, but not the Armrest photo. Read about the subject further to understand why it is placed over there.

Another thing, all videos that I upload have a meaning, there is no video showing how the New York City Subway systems signaling works. ( Check for duplicates first ). Doorknob747 (talk) 20:30, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Also armrest photo does have a correct caption. Doorknob747 (talk) 20:33, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

I suggest that you undo your edit , but remove the emergency brake image. Doorknob747 (talk) 20:38, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
