Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited North Avenue (Chicago), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Clark Street. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 05:55, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply

I appreciate the details you are adding to Muni articles. Please remember to use edit summaries so that other editors can tell what changes you have made, and remember to cite information to reliable sources. I'm happy to help if you have any questions. Thanks, Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 21:22, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Why did you add a misleading hatnote? Broadway Local has not ever redirected to the R page, not to mention that it has last been edited in 2013 (and the page was created in 2007). Fastfoodfanatic ( talk) 16:44, 20 October 2022 (UTC) reply

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Sounder Bruce 23:16, 1 February 2023 (UTC) reply

		The Invisible Barnstar
		I'm writing this specifically in response to your creation of the List of Dallas Area Rapid Transit bus routes article. It's great to see the public transport system of my home become noticed, and you've put in significant effort to make the list pleasing to the eye. In general, it seems you have tirelessly contributed to many public transport articles without much recognition; impressive! I hope you continue editing Wikipedia. 296cherry ( talk) 20:04, 3 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Hello, I'm IJBall. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, San Diego MTS bus system, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 13:21, 7 June 2023 (UTC) reply

A couple of days ago, you introduced an error in this article. Here is what is displayed:

Current bus routes

In 2022, the NORTA bus system had a ridership of Expression error: Missing operand for +., or about Expression error: Missing operand for +. per weekday as of the fourth quarter of 2022.

There may be two of these in the article.

I don't know how to fix it, or I would. Please fix it. HGFriedman ( talk) 14:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Ok, you made the error messages go away, but no numbers are showing up in the display. HGFriedman ( talk) 18:27, 14 June 2023 (UTC) reply

The data is based on the American Public Transit Association quarterly ridership data. In Q4 2022, they didn't give any ridership data for the bus system. It is in the Q1 2023 report, but it usually takes around 3 months after the report releases for Wikipedia to update any article that uses APTA ridership data with the most recent report. Sorry if this confused you. Ex696 ( talk) 18:31, 14 June 2023 (UTC) reply

What about the confusion of other readers of the article? The sentences now displayed make no sense. HGFriedman ( talk) 01:05, 16 June 2023 (UTC) reply

I see, I didn't think about that. I'll remove it for now, and once I see other articles that use APTA ridership data get updated with Q1 2023 ridership, I'll re-add it. Ex696 ( talk) 15:20, 16 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Good thinking. Thanks. HGFriedman ( talk) 17:17, 16 June 2023 (UTC) reply

The article S59 and S89 buses has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable bus route

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
