Sorry about that, though I would note that what I said can be seen in multiple places on those routes' Wikipedia pages.

Are you able to add the Adirondack and Maple Leaf to Grand Central's former Amtrak services in the infobox? How many others are there, and do we list some or all of them? Is there a way to include one or two and link to a section describing the rest? ɱ (talk) 15:28, 14 May 2019 (UTC) reply

@ Ɱ: I *can* add them, but my feeling is that former services should only be listed if it was a significantly different “iteration” of that train, since it just isn’t possible to add everything to every former station. Countless Amtrak trains have served GCT, and there’s neither the time nor the space to list anything close to all of them. Since the Lake Shore and Niagara Rainbow were standalone trains and served Grand Central the whole time, I thought it made sense to list them. But since the Adirondack and Maple Leaf still served all the same stops along the way during the GCT era, it was a pretty minor change, and so I don’t think it’s worth listing. You know what I’m saying? Cpotisch ( talk) 16:00, 14 May 2019 (UTC) reply

I'm going to ping @ Cards84664:, @ Epicgenius: here too. I don't think the former services section really serves the reader well right now. It needs dates and chronological order, and should either include all former services or none, or provide some link to the full deal. Are the NYC, HR, or NH services fully listed in the infobox? Right now it seems to suggest it only carried one Amtrak line for only one year, and possibly carried Amtrak, NYC, and NH all at the same time... As well, the former and future services boxes are below the railroad names, especially making the LIRR one confusing.

This is my ideal format, as far as I think/know about these services:

Former and future services

Preceding station | Railroad | Following station

Former services

HR (1913-1914) (across all three columns)

Hudson

Harlem

NH (1913-1968) (across all three columns)

Main

NYC (1914-1968) (across all three columns)

Main

Hudson

Harlem

Amtrak (1971-1991) (across all three columns)

( List of services to the terminal) (full list to be added in the linked section)

Future services

LIRR (across all three columns)

Best, ɱ (talk) 19:16, 15 May 2019 (UTC) reply

You know, that does make a lot of sense. :) I obviously want to hear what the other Wikipedians think about it, but I would be happy to add all the Amtrak routes that used to serve GCT. I think it would make sense to list them here and the Yonkers station page, since that’s the last station before it branched off. But I’m not very familiar with those other railroads, so I can’t really help there. And I don’t think it would be possible to add a link to a list of those trains. I guess there’s nothing wrong with a long list of Former services, though, so that’s not a big issue. Cpotisch ( talk) 22:41, 15 May 2019 (UTC) reply

I made another edit, because I am now certain that this list encompasses all Amtrak routes that used Grand Central. I also am not sure if it would be currently possible to add a link or do any of the other proposed changes above. I hope someone can help make that possible! ɱ (talk) 22:50, 15 May 2019 (UTC) reply

@ Midnightblueowl: This was three months ago, so I don’t fully remember my exact reasoning for that edit. WaPo is obviously not a far-right source, so I apologize for deleting that portion. However, Brendan O’Neill from ‘’Spiked’’ is absolutely a right wing and unreliable source, who continuously misgenders Alcorn in the article referenced. I mean, does ”a new breed of illiberal liberal" who were intolerant of anyone holding conservative views on social issues not sound seriously POV to you? I think it makes sense to keep the info from the Washington Post, but ditch that of Spiked. Cpotisch ( talk) 17:39, 21 July 2019 (UTC) reply

Hi, I just would like to thank you for the work you have done on the Senate Election page. I worked on it myself this morning, and had to put up with saboteurs who kept trying to revert my edits. Thanks to those like you, me, and others, Wikipedia can become likely the most unbiased source for election information. Regards, Brycecordry ( talk) 23:53, 7 January 2021 (UTC) reply

Wow, I appreciate the words. And thank you very much for your work. Best regards. Cpotisch ( talk) 00:51, 8 January 2021 (UTC) reply

I notice you have once again inserted 'unsuccessful' at the start of the article in regards to his election campaign https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Donald_Trump_2020_presidential_campaign&diff=1000117329&oldid=1000005121. You've now done it multiple times despite being reverted by multiple editors, so this is me politely warning you to stop. The intro is about summarising the facts of what something was, this was factually a re-election campaign and whether it was successful or not is described in the body. You don't start the article about a sports team for a given season where they didnt win a trophy as "The 2015 Miami Heat NBA season was an unsuccessful campaign played between X and Y months etc" just because they didnt win the playoffs for instance, or you'd have to do this for every single sports team and article for someone or a team that didnt win any kind of competition in a given season or tournament. Furthermore, the standard is not applied to any other political campaigns like Mitt Romney 2012 presidential campaign or Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign. It's simply not encyclopedic, and 'success' is arbitrary in any case (would winning the nomination, taking part, losing by a few key votes across a few states, making a certain number of money over the campaign etc etc be considered successful?).

Leave it alone. Davefelmer ( talk) 15:07, 15 January 2021 (UTC) reply

Kindly, send me maybe three instances of editors other than you reverting my edits because as far as I can see, you're the only one. Meanwhile, multiple other editors have also added the word "unsuccessful," and you've reverted them. And in this case, it's not arbitrary; a campaign is pretty freaking unsuccessful if the candidate loses by seven million votes and 74 electoral votes, particularly if it's an incumbent, as they usually easily win reelection. For that reason, it's also quite notable, and different than Romney's and Clinton's campaigns. So as I said, please show me these reversions that "multiple other editors" have done to my edits, and then I'll oblige. But you personally don't get to "politely warn [me] to stop," as there is no consensus that I have to stop. Cpotisch ( talk) 15:39, 15 January 2021 (UTC) reply

Here's one for starters https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Donald_Trump_2020_presidential_campaign&diff=997029370&oldid=997028920, you can keep fishing around and find the others, but that is not how an encyclopedia works. It's not your place to give your hot takes on what a successful or an unsuccessful campaign is, success by nature is arbitrary, and people could then start doing that anywhere and for anything. "A season is pretty freaking unsuccessful if the team didn't even make the playoffs", "a tournament is pretty freaking unsuccessful if you start as favourite and go out in the Quarter Final", a "tennis player is pretty freaking unsuccessful if he never wins a major despite being ranked the best young player in the world at 17", "Joe Biden's campaign is pretty freaking unsuccessful if he only won the Presidency by 70,000 votes across 4 key swing states and lost seats in the House in a year of a pandemic, race riots and a recession that was all blamed on the opposite party" etc etc there's an encyclopedic standard abided by here on other similar political campaign articles and that there is already telling you to stop from the get-go. You don't just keep reverting again and again until 6 editors have to explicitly revert you back to stop. Davefelmer ( talk) 15:54, 15 January 2021 (UTC) reply

Dude, that edit was not a reversion of any of my mine, and one but you has told me to stop. And you're the only person who doubts that it was unsuccessful; it says deeper in the article that Trump's campaign was "ultimately unsuccessful." That sentence has been there for months, it wasn't added by me, and no one has removed it. Rather, it comes down to notability, and whether it fundamentally defines the article. If it does define the article, it goes in the lede. My argument is that a) incumbents usually win, so it's pretty notable that he lost, and b) that Trump's attempts to overturn the election after losing have defined the past two months. Thus, it is a key trait of the campaign. You're the only person I can find who thinks otherwise. Also, Democrats kept the House and won the Senate, and went from controlling just one branch of the federal government to controlling all three. That point is as tangentially related as your point about the House, but yours is more absurd. I'll start a discussion on the talk page in a bit, and we can work from there, OK? Once I do that, will you find the six editors that have apparently removed it and have them voice their concerns? Cpotisch ( talk) 21:53, 15 January 2021 (UTC) reply

Your entire post is yet more of you giving your personal opinion about why something is successful vs why something else isnt, which only proves the arbitrary nature of success and why it isnt listed like that on articles like this. Hillary's article from 2016 also says she lost lower down, so why not add 'unsuccessful' to the start of her article then? And you can't seriously be ignorant enough to think that nobody has an issue with YOUR edit of the exact same thing that other editors have reverted from other people before. Like, what kind of logic is that? "Other editors have reverted this same edit before, but not enough have reverted specifically me doing it, so I think it's fine". Does that seem in any way rational to you?

I am fine with you starting a discussion on the article talkpage about it and look forward to weighing in with my thoughts on it there. Davefelmer ( talk) 21:58, 15 January 2021 (UTC) reply

I'm not going to revert, because it will be accurate in less than an hour and a half as I write, but Leahy will not become president pro tem until after the Senate convenes at 4:30 PM Washington time, Jan. 20, and the three new senators (Ossoff, Warnock, and Padilla) are sworn in.

Restoring any of it would be a violation. You can ask the person who reverted you to self-revert if you believe they would accept a portion of your edit.

Hi, before I start, I would like to say that I read the guideline & policies of Wikipedia. And, I strongly believe that I did not engaged in any unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. This doesn't make any sense. Ok, let's talk about the Bernard Arnault's edit. Forbes accounted his entire family fortune WHILE Bloomberg Billionaires Index only calculated his PERSONAL fortune. Please ensure you are famillar about the term "net worth". It's a value of the assets of a PERSON, (NOT FAMILY) minus the liability they owe. If Wikipedia managed to change from parameter "net worth" to "Family's net worth" then I had no objection. same situation for David Thompson, If he had a personal net worth of 44 Billion, then he would be the richest person in the Canada, BUT did you realize Forbes stated David Thompson & Family? Forbes make a huge mistake on this. They should calculated their personal net worth. Ok, I will gave you an example in case you did not understand. Walton Family is the richest family on Earth. But, If Forbes combine all the family members' fortune & let say the title becomr "Jim Walton & Family", won't it became the world richest person. Person & Family are different. This make no sense at all. I already replace Forbes sources with Bloomberg for like 2 months. Even other editors thanked me as I updated their net worth every Saturday on my local time. I don't see any objection from other editors when I use Bloomberg sources. Finally, I will discuss this matter in the article's pages. Please note I edit Wikipedia in a nuetral position. Thank you & Have a great day. LohShiSan2004 ( talk) 05:40, 24 May 2021 (UTC) reply

You are fixating on the wrong thing.

First off, Forbes has been the primary net worth source here for years and years, and you are changing that source to Bloomberg in dozens of dozens of articles, even when there isn’t a discrepancy between the two. That means that articles are now much less consistent about where they are getting net worths from, since your countless edits still only make up a small subset of all the billionaires we have articles for.

However, the much bigger problem with your edits is poor grammar that has required extensive copy-editing to fix. I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but your English consistently fails to meet reasonable standards. You’ve added new, redundant paragraphs, and your sentences are simply not proper. You also keep on adding a space after $ signs, which is simply not correct.

Those edits simply are disruptive, and I will have to take this further if you keep making them. Cpotisch ( talk) 05:55, 24 May 2021 (UTC) reply

I would love to accept any feedback from you. BUT, If you say I had removed any reliable sources posted by other editors. I strongly disagree. Both Forbes & Bloomberg Billionaires Index are not fully accurate. Each of them have their own unique way to calculate their wealth. I removed Forbes source because Bloomberg Billionaires Index has better and more detailed analysis about the individual net worth. Yes, Both Forbes & Bloomberg put lots of efforts on their list. But still, Bloomberg had more detailed information, calculation & overview of the net worth. I had read both Methodology for both sources. Thank you & had a great day. LohShiSan2004 ( talk) 06:25, 24 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Ok, Thank you for letting me know that adding space after $ signs, is incorrect. I will delete the space on any article I edited.

LohShiSan2004 ( talk) 06:39, 24 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Thank you for dealing with the extra space. But you still need to get consensus before adding redundant sources in the infobox. Net worth is not so crucial to the article that we have to exhaustively list multiple sources, and until you get consensus to do so, the additions are still disruptive. Please bear that in mind because I don’t want to have to take this further. Cpotisch ( talk) 16:58, 24 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Hi Cpotisch, about your edit here [1], your addition "and by July 2021 had garnered more than 8.9 billion views" did not include a citation so I reverted it. I did find some subsequent articles in late 2020 that detail the amount of Youtube views, but the number is ever changing and I don't think it is necessary to keep up with it. Another editor previously linked the page List of most-viewed YouTube videos in the introduction and one of the citations currently on the page gives information that it moved to that list.

I'm sorry to remove your edit, but always remember that you need a citation, WP:CITE, and also remember to add an Edit Summary, H:ES, to your edit so that other editors can quickly see what changes you have made.-- Bonnielou2013 ( talk) 02:23, 14 July 2021 (UTC) reply

When/if we get to the point that there have been no new opinions for several days, I will decide whether the result is clearcut enough that I can close it even though I am involved, or whether I should invite someone uninvolved to take a look at it. This is just so you know that the question hasn't fallen off the radar and that someone is monitoring it. These things do take time. -- MelanieN ( talk) 18:20, 7 October 2021 (UTC) reply

One other thing. Somebody pointed out that when you reworded your original proposal for neutrality and signed it, that changed your signature date from 02:25, 27 September 2021 (UTC) to 17:23, 6 October 2021 (UTC). That is confusing and will make it hard to evaluate for closure, since it obscures how long the discussion has been open. Can you somehow modify that closure statement? Maybe you could modify it with a signature comment, something like this: "Note: This RFC was originally proposed at 02:25, 27 September 2021 (UTC). I modified my proposal at 17:23, 6 October 2021 (UTC), to make it more neutrally worded." Then I suppose you should sign that comment as well! just so that everything is clear. -- MelanieN ( talk) 15:46, 11 October 2021 (UTC) reply

Will do. Thanks for letting me know! Cpotisch ( talk) 16:19, 11 October 2021 (UTC) reply

@ MelanieN: It’s been two days since the last response, and they supported adding it. What are you thinking at this point? Cpotisch ( talk) 14:13, 14 October 2021 (UTC) reply

Since you posted this, another opinion has come in - less than 48 hours ago. I suggest you be patient and let the discussion truly die down. Note that each of the additional recent edits has strengthened the consensus - and the stronger the consensus, the more acceptable it becomes for an "involved" close by me. Maybe tomorrow, if no more come in. -- MelanieN ( talk) 15:29, 16 October 2021 (UTC) reply

There is no consensus on ranking him. Please remove your political biases and do your job correctly. thanks 2600:8805:C980:9400:1C2E:831F:CAEE:8765 ( talk) 02:59, 18 October 2021 (UTC) reply

Everyone has political biases, and hiding them is neither necessary nor helpful here. As an editor who wants to make a potentially controversial change, my "job" is to build consensus in good faith. That's what I have done, and that's what you can do try to do. I'll leave it for you to evaluate whether that's worth your time. Best, Cpotisch ( talk) 03:53, 18 October 2021 (UTC) reply

It's funny how you are cyberbullying calling me "useless", when you are a right-wing radical concocting blatant lies about the election with 0 proof. At least I have found a shred of physical evidence in my hand as well as variable other claims and sources. My theory isn't a new trend like yours. But making blatant lies about modern politics is your goal. You will go to any measures to persue your manipulative, psychopathic, narcissistic, little game.

Hi there,

In reverting the edits to the Astrology page, you removed a number of high-quality academic sources, including:

• Astronomies and Cultures, edited by Clive Ruggles and Nicholas J. Saunders, published by University Press of Colorado
• A Brief History of Ancient Astrology, edited by Roger Beck, published by Wiley-Blackwell
• Handbook of Archaeoastronomy and Ethnoastronomy, edited by Clive Ruggles, published by Springer
• Ancient Astrology, by Tamsyn Barton, published by Routledge
• Power and Knowledge: Astrology, Physiognomics, and Medicine Under the Roman Empire, by Tamsyn Barton, published by Routledge
• "Why did Feyerabend defend astrology? Integrity, virtue, and the authority of science", in Social Epistemology 30.4

Among others. I do not see where the 'weasel-word-filled edits' were, and these edits did not lend false credibility to to the subject.

I understand your view that astrology is pseudoscience, however, this is not a universal position within the social sciences, and in history and anthropology (I am an anthropologist specializing in the historical archaeology of the Western United States) we take a much more value-neutral position.

Please discuss this further on the talk page before making any more large edits.

Hello -- I noticed you moved Rutland (town), Vermont to Rutland, Vermont (town). I don't have strong opinions on the move if you feel like you have a good justification but wanted to let you know that there are a few other town/city combos in Vermont (Newport and Barre, notably) that you might want to also address. Jessamyn ( my talk page) 01:42, 17 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Hello. My justification was simply that most articles put the disambiguation at the end of the title, as that makes it clearer that the parenthetical is not actually part of the name. So that’s why I made the change, and I’ll definitely move those other ones. Thanks for letting me know! - Cpotisch ( talk) 01:45, 17 August 2022 (UTC) reply

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{ Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

That's not how the sourcing policy works. The lede summarizes content in the body of the article, and that statement is already in the body. I restored my edit and added two sources for your edification. Cpotisch ( talk) 04:49, 31 December 2022 (UTC) reply

Yesterday a user add a footnote in the "LGBT section of wikipedia page Elissa Slotkin claiming that Secretary of defense support the flag ban amendment but the source itself only says he support banning hate flags and LGBT flag is not hate flag, this is blatant lie?

Based on policy I see no reason why my edit on Sabina Matos' page should be deleted and the excuse they use are all based on their personl opinion that changed what the source originally says. Like deleting the "in part on" in "The investigation is focused in part on part-time field campaign workers who gathered and submitted the signatures for Matos." or adding " 's campaign" in "with the Democratic lieutenant governor now facing multiple criminal investigations into forged signatures on her nomination papers" Can you explain to me which wikipedia allow them to do this but ban me from what the source says. Thespeedoflightneverchanges ( talk) 02:33, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply

The Providence Journal, in this article published yesterday, reported that the office of Attorney General Peter Neronha said that it "would not say whether Matos herself is a target of the investigation, or just the field workers her campaign hired". It is a violation of the important Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy to state or hint or imply or infer that Matos herself is under investigation, unless the attorney general or his office makes that statement.

According to polling a majority of Americans and Marylanders consider the state to be northern. Many other academic pieces exclude Maryland from the south. BTW thank you for noticing that error I made on the 1964 presidential election page.
