Wondering why you reverted all of the edits to Empire Builder railway stations that were updated to use the "Start date and age" template.
That template clearly states in its Usage section ... "This template is most often used in infoboxes in articles about buildings or organizations, identifying when they were started/founded/opened or dissolved/ended/closed."
It is being used in railway station articles all over the world, by a wide variety of editors. Its usage has been discussed with several Wikipedia editors with the net result being that it's useful to let our readers know how old a railway station is.
With all due respect, would you please consider reverting your reverts?
Thanks, Truthanado ( talk) 18:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Hey. Hope you're good. Do you have a link or quote from the WikiProject Footy article regarding piping (or not) US club names? Not disputing, but I couldn't find it after a cursory search and I've been editing for over a decade and have aleays used, and seen other experienced users use, piped club names in articles.

Hey I saw you reverted my edit for Copyvio. If you think there is some copyright violation I’d be happy to hear it, but I didn’t add any new images to Wikipedia, these are all just from other articles where they are prominently featured. If you click on any of the links in the captions of the seal, you should see the seal in the pop up window. Eternal Blue Sky ( talk) 05:25, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the information on that revert. It did change accessdate to access-date and last1/first 1 to last/first so it did place current citation fields on older refs but I get it. Red Director ( talk) 11:41, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
