November 2011

Hi! Just an "FYI"... the Great American Stations reference you've been adding to train station articles has a typo in the web address (it says "statons" instead of "stations"). I corrected this in the Downeaster station articles. Thanks, –BMRR (talk) 17:02, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

East Lansing Amtrak

Hello, I see you added a 2011 Amtrak number for the East Lansing station, but MDOT's own site gives a different number than your source, and the MDOT number, IMO, is better sourced for the fiscal year:

http://mdotwas1.mdot.state.mi.us/public/railstats/index.cfm?event=CorrStationActRpt

As you can see, the fiscal year ridership at the East Lansing station is 66,703. --Criticalthinker (talk) 01:10, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

I hadn't realized this had been and issue, before, and meant no disrespect. --Criticalthinker (talk) 02:14, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paul Bunyan Statue, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peavey (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.

Removing ridership ranks

Thank you for updating Amtrak station ridership figures; however, can you please explain why you're removing the brief commentary on their relative numbers within a state? That is useful information; it should be updated, not removed. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:05, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, and thanks for your feedback. The rankings were something I added (under a different username) about five years ago. Updating them was labor-intensive, and they were never revised with new data by anyone but me. I've been deleting the rankings over the past couple of years as I see them, and as they've become increasingly outdated. Thanks, Cranboy (talk) 22:28, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. Unless you seriously object, I may re-add them to certain stations (mostly the Massachusetts ones) that I keep a close eye on. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:30, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

No objection from me! Thanks,Cranboy (talk) 22:32, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
