Please stop rearranging infoboxes. It is very difficult to spot what actual changes you are making. The order of parameters is immaterial, and so there is no point to moving them around. In some cases you are actually breaking the infobox, as with this edit. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 13:51, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I was just trying to make it more organised for people to edit :p. Thank you for notifying me anyways. :) Vincent60030 ( talk) 14:00, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

I notice that you have added the WikiProject London Transport banner to a number of article talk pages (e.g. this edit at Talk:Hackney Central railway station). This is not necessary; the WikiProject Trains banner has parameters that enable it to be used to as the project banner of WPLT as well because WPTrains is a "parent" project to several others including WPLT. If you look at the WPTrains banner you will note that the WPLT logo is in a box on the top right. At the bottom of the banner is the text "Associated projects or task forces with [show] on the right.

If you click on [show], you will see the importance rating for WPLT is low which goes with the c-class rating in the main part of the banner to categorise the article.

To include WPLT rating in the WPTrains banners use the |Underground=yes |LT-importance=low parameters in the WPTrains banner. All London stations are already assessed.-- DavidCane ( talk) 15:06, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for notifying me about this. Vincent60030 ( talk) 15:08, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Please don't rate anything as B-class unless it clearly satisfies all six of the WP:BCLASS criteria, and don't rate anything as GA-class unless it has been through WP:GAN and has demonstrably passed all of the Good Article criteria. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 15:51, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Also, regarding Talk:Malaysia Airlines Flight 370/GA2, I have started a discussion at WT:GAN#Another doubtful GA review because it falls very short of what I expect from a GA review. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 17:57, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

My post of 15:51, 18 February 2015 also applies to rating something as A-class when it has not had a formal WP:ACLASS review. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 18:15, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Also, with regard to the A-class rating of Morden tube station, WikiProject London Transport does not use the A classification for articles. Details of the classification used can be found here as previously advised in one of the sections above.-- DavidCane ( talk) 19:22, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

If you think that Montreal Metro article needs some specific work, then take it to the talk page for a discussion. You seem to be on a random drive-by tagging mission. Secondarywaltz ( talk) 16:18, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Vincent. Regarding Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Template:Citation Standard Tube Map, (a) AfC are normally placed in Draft space, (b) templates are not dealt with at AfC. Be bold and create it in Template space and start using it. Speaking from experience: if other editors don't like it, they will let you know in no uncertain terms. ;) Would you blank and G7 Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Template:Citation Standard Tube Map yourself? Thanks, -- Sam ^Sing! 11:03, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Hey there! How do I use the template? I keep on typing alternative citation names but it doesn't work. Vincent60030 ( talk) 04:51, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Template:Cite map/Standard Tube Map, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.
The article has been assessed as Template-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.

Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Hi Vincent, I applaud your enthusiasm, but I have had to revert a number of the edits that you made to the Morden tube station article. Rather than leave this to the edit summary on the article history to try to explain, I thought it would be helpful to explain what I reverted and why, as follows:

1. Changes in introduction. It is not necessary to insert a reference to demonstrate the station's location. The latitude and longitude parameters in the information box generate a coordinates link in the top right of the screen which links to the Geohack page for the article. This contains a wide variety of links to map sites and the like; including google maps and bing maps.
2. Sub-headings in the history section. I reverted these because they break-up the flow of the text and make it harder to follow. For example the sentences either side of the "Abandoned Sutton Extension" heading that you inserted needed to stay together as they were closely related.
3. Change of main heading from "Station building" to "The Station today". The new heading name was not appropriate as much of the section is not about the station today, but about the architectural history (e.g. the quote from Frank Pick's letter to Harry Peach).
4. Removal of image of tube trains from history section. I removed this because it is not relevant to the article. The article does not mention the different types of tube stock and the main mention of the depot is later when the platform arrangements and written about. The image content is, therefore, not relevant to the section it was placed in either.
5. Rearrangement of station improvements section to a new top level heading. This information belongs under the station building heading.
6. Insertion of facilities sub-section. I removed this because the information added about types of ticket office, payphones, wifi and vending machines is not encyclopaedic and will become dated.
7. External links. There is no particular need to shift the commons cat link to a floating box.

Regards-- DavidCane ( talk) 19:53, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Appreciated that explanation. By the way, how do I nominate an article to become A-class?

That depends on the WikiProject that you want to nominate it for A-class review. WP:LT and many other projects do not use the classification, going, where appropriate, from Good Article to Featured Article (if you look here, you will see that most of the A-class categories for WikiProjects are empty), Some, such as WikiProject Military History do use it (e.g. here), and the process is managed by the projects themselves.-- DavidCane ( talk) 14:14, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Okay thanks. Vincent60030 ( talk) 14:27, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
