Station layout diagrams

There's a longstanding consensus not to include station diagrams for simple stations such as East New York station. The most recent RFC is here; while there were a variety of opinions, the general consensus is clear. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:55, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please STOP inserting POV language

In the Christopher Macchio article, you keep adding the word "infamous", which in this context demonstrates a point of view (POV), violating the Wikipedia policy of having article written with a neutral point of view. Thank you. rogerd (talk) 20:17, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

It was a proofreading error on my end and I apologize. I did not (and would not) knowingly put in POV language (nor did I even know the word "infamous" was in there), since it goes against policy and defeats Wikipedia's purpose. When I made my edit, there was a conflicting edit when I tried submitting (I looked just now and saw that edit was yours, removing "infamous"; you published that edit as I was making mine). To get my edit to publish, I therefore had to copy the whole, revised article (with my revisions) and paste it into the refreshed edit page (where you removed the POV language – and thank you for doing that. I spotted & removed another one while making my original edit a couple minuted before you made yours, but must have missed "infamous" when looking) – and in the process I must not have realized the word was still in there when I hit publish.

Thank you – and once again: apologies for not catching that the word was still there while proofreading.

Cheers, Infrastorian (talk) 20:35, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Thanks. I have run into several of those situations myself. rogerd (talk) 20:44, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
