Hello SoledadKabocha. Welcome to the English version of Wikipedia
Thank you for your participation in this project. We hope that you will stay to contribute and that you will find the collaboration process enjoyable.
Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that started in 2001 and is free for all to use and edit under certain guidelines and principles that all users should understand and adhere to. These principles and guidelines are listed below. Click on the link next to the images for more information.
This is your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss things with them. At the end of your messages you must put your signature by signing with four ~~~~ (just as I have done) or by pressing the button in the editor bar as shown here in the picture. By the way, you don't need to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. My name is Buster7. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information. Good Luck editing!
What do you think about encouraging some individual or group to merge the articles on Human interface device and USB human interface device class -- or at least make it clear why there should be 2 articles with each referencing the other appropriately?
I think the title of the merged article should be "Human interface device", but it should be clear that HID is a standard and secondarily devices that comply with that standard. I say this, because I recently purchased a television with USB ports that supposedly accept input from a USB HID keyboard. It failed to work with 2 different USB keyboards I have, apparently because they are not HID. I hadn't heard of HID before, and I think it would be reckless for me to attempt this.
I have no strong objections to a merge, but I'm not 100% sure it's necessarily the best idea either. If we decide on a merge, I think Human interface device should have a section specifically titled "USB human interface device class." I'd have to think about it a bit more. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 18:30, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Track ballast may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

For the benefit of future visitors to my talk page: The problem is that I did not read the context carefully enough and therefore thought I was actually fixing an error in the parenthesis balance until BracketBot informed me otherwise. This is why I created antiBracketBot.js.

The use of British rail terms to describe an accident in the United States isn't proper. "Signal Passed at Danger" isn't even a term used on American railroads. We don't operate on UK railroad rule books. I invite you to go search the NTSB report for this incident as well as mediation cases from the National Mediation Board. They all quote the rule violations not terms from another country. Ksryengr (talk) 17:44, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not aware of this issue occurring with any other article. As I said, my impression as a reader was that Wikipedia uses the terminology more broadly. I feel this needs wider discussion at the talk page of a WikiProject or Manual of Style page, but I wasn't able to find the right one on a quick glance (at the time of my original post).
Or should the Signal passed at danger article not imply that the terminology is exclusively British?
And even if it's not the proper terminology for the crash in question, would a piped link be appropriate, to express that it's the closest concept that has a Wikipedia article? (I don't think we have articles on individual sections of the US rulebook, especially where the same concepts have other existing names.) --SoledadKabocha (talk) 18:31, 27 September 2015 (UTC) (+ 02:11, 28 September 2015 (UTC))[reply]
I should have looked at the banner on Talk:1987 Maryland train collision instead of searching blindly; the WikiProject is WP:WikiProject Trains. (I had mistakenly thought it would be called something like "Rail transport.")
OK, I accept that. 1 (year) is an convincing example. (I see from the category talk page that I'm not alone in being puzzled. It is the value-laden word 'unnecessary' that threw me].
Thank you for all you did for this project in 2016, SoledadKabocha. May your house be safe, and may you and those having the privilege of your company enjoy good health in a
Hello, SoledadKabocha. You have new messages at Wikipedia talk:Edit requests. Message added 22:48, 8 April 2020 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
@Can I Log In:My edit notice says (emphasis new), "Instead of using {{talkback}}, please continue any discussion where it was started." So that means I do not want either {{talkback}} or {{replyto}}. I will consider clarifying this.
Please bear in mind that my replies to discussions, when they are not simple acknowledgments, tend to take "several" (~10) minutes to compose, as I am often long-winded/nitpicky. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 22:58, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
