Is there a single one of you who really believes that I sent my furious message of 7/25/21 having already read your prior, good-faith messages on that page since June through 7/24/21? On 7/25, I answered every one of them except a “conflict” message, which would not accept a reply. (I hardly had a conflict: the Concorde was retired in 2003 and my last Concorde charter was in 2001.) But the main issue is that I prefer to resume editing without being blocked, but will not tolerate being called a liar by inference by the last poster as to when I knowingly first used my talk page. Is my position clear now?

Now it says I do not have a user page, and the above text does not appear at the bottom of my own Talk page! I can edit if it is simple, but your site is a total mystery to me. Just answer my posting above if any of you ever see it. -DLP-

It doesn't appear at the bottom of your talk page because you posted it at the top of the talk page. Please take a look at your list of contributions, and you can see for yourself that you made edits to your talk page on 5 June 2021. Schazjmd (talk) 20:00, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cannot get on noticeboard/talk site at all. The false content remains uncorrected. Are all of you self-interested technocrats who care only for computerized rules and nothing for dishonest content on sites? If so, to hell with all of you. I have much better things to do with my $600/hour legal time than to bang my head repeatedly against your damned confusing and user- unfriendly website. Screw it, and don’t bother to reply.

A place to practice editing[edit]

By the way, you can create a page in your user space where you can practice editing. Click here and follow the instructions. Once you've done that you can put almost anything on that page and it won't become part of the main encyclopedia (or be indexed by search engines such as Google). Only someone going directly to that page can see it. And though it's possible to do it, it's considered bad form to edit someone else's sandbox without their permission or invitation. There are a few things that can't be put there any more than they can't be put into the encyclopedia, such as materials that violate Wikipedia's copyright policy, attacks on other editors, or kiddie porn, but it's unlikely you'll run into any of that. Once you've created it you can get to it by clicking the "sandbox" link at the top or side (depending on how you're set up) of either your user page or your user talk page, or by clicking this link: User:16ConcordeSSC/sandbox.

New message from 331dot[edit]

 You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Dispute resolution noticeboard. 331dot (talk) 22:33, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cannot see your message. How do I join the discussion? 16ConcordeSSC 16ConcordeSSC (talk) 23:03, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Have tried noticeboard many times. Cannot understand your site as a computer novice. Please call me at (828)297-7823 to give me the simple courtesy of a little wise assistance. Otherwise, the disputed page will remain misleading per se. 16ConcordeSSC (talk) 23:09, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How am I supposed to correct falsehoods when no one at your end will lift a finger? Cannot post on noticeboard after 10 tries! Are all of you self-centered technocrats who don’t care one whit about false posts? This is how it now looks to me. 16ConcordeSSC (talk) 00:01, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You can also go to the article's talk page to discuss your concerns with Adirondack Railroad. Schazjmd (talk) 00:26, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot: I am trying to follow this, and failing. It seems that Concorde made the edit to WT:DRN at 22:18 UTC, and you responded to tell him that wasn't the proper place for dispute resolution, but then created this section at 22:33 which directs him to "join the discussion" at WT:DRN. His complaint is rather straightforward, viz. that there was incorrect information in the lead of Adirondack Railroad (which I checked against the sources; indeed, it didn't seem to be backed up by any of them, so I edited it). This whole series of events seems confusing, even to me. Is there something I'm failing to understand? jp×g 03:39, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JPxG I used an improper talk back message; I wanted the user to see my comment there. 331dot (talk) 08:34, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

June 2021[edit]

Information icon Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Adirondack Railroad. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. EpicPupper (talk, contribs) 00:21, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. Code Pending (talk) 04:01, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon Your recent edits could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. Code Pending (talk) 04:02, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Harlem Line, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Thank you. CodeTalker (talk) 23:54, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Hydrogenation. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Hydrogenation (talk) 22:40, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Any of these things were caused because I am a recent (new) editor and have never seen any written guidelines anywhere. Thank you. 16ConcordeSSC (talk) 22:54, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Information icon Hello, 16ConcordeSSC. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Concorde aircraft histories, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 00:13, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 22[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rosendale Trestle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tie. 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, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How to undo an edit[edit]

Hi, here's how to undo any edit that you make (such as removing a lot of content accidentally):

  1. Click the View history tab at the top-right of the article.
  2. In the history view, next to the edit that you want to undo, click prev. It will open a "diff" view (the difference between your edit and the article before you edited it).
  3. In the diff view, in the right-hand column, it will say something like Revision as of 00:18, 23 June 2021 (edit) (undo). Click (undo).
  4. Scroll to the bottom and click Publish changes.

Hope that helps! Schazjmd (talk) 22:56, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits[edit]

Hey there 16ConcordeSSC, I noticed you've been using the "minor edit" checkbox when making significant changes to articles. Please make sure you are familiar with the guidelines on minor edits. In general, if you are adding or removing content from an article, or changing information presented, then it is not a minor edit. Jcmcc (Talk) 04:28, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop flaging all of your edits as "minor edits." As noted on this help page WP:MINOR, a good rule of thumb is that edits consisting solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content should be flagged as minor edits. Thanks FFM784 (talk) 22:32, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

July 2021[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm GoneIn60. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Silver Star (Amtrak train), 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. GoneIn60 (talk) 00:19, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Singapore Airlines fleet, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. GoneIn60 (talk) 01:02, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at South African Airways, you may be blocked from editing. GoneIn60 (talk) 01:36, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Blueberry does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → check Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Every edit can't be a minor edit[edit]

Hello, I noticed that you have marked the majority of your recent edits as "minor" and have not made edit summaries. 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. Three articles where you made sequential edits marked "m" while cummulativly adding information are:

In many cases the wording was simply changed to your own preference. This can be seen as disruptive editing. It's a pattern that does not inprove the content of the encyclopedia and disrespects the work of other editors. Blue Riband► 20:02, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rutland Railroad, Mohawk and Malone Railway, Canadian[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Rutland Railroad, you may be blocked from editing. You have also made substantial cumulative changes to the Mohawk and Malone Railway and the Canadian (train) while marking each one as "minor", no edit summaries or "fixed typo" while adding information. For the Rutland Railroad you inserted a bare inline URL from the railroad itself. Please see WP:NOTRELIABLE on why primary sources are to be avoided and WP:CITEWEB on how to format them for an ariticle. Blue Riband► 03:57, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TO ALL PRIOR EDITORS:

A senior editor just taught me this AM how to find my own talk page. I have never seen nor heard of such a thing until this Sunday afternoon, 7/25/21, at 6:00PM EDT.

I was very angry about having my edits censored by persons unknown, over more than a month, and unable to even reply other than sending a furious note to the latest editor—which I thought was private.

I apologize for the personal insults, but over a month of this just pushed me right to the edge.

I happen to be 77 years old, dislike computers in principle, and continue to think that resolving matters by telephone is infinitely-preferable to tackling the incomprehensible (to me) Wiki website machinery.

I wrote a syndicated newspaper column for 15 million weekly readers for years. When I correct improper use of commas or run-on sentences, for example, calling this “disrespect for prior editors” is defensive nonsense. You should be glad that I smoothed-out your prior edits, as they make both the article and any prior editors look better.

The above applies to Mohawk and Malone, the Canadian, and any other edits I have made since I began editing several months ago. I am also a prominent railroad preservationist and historian (SEE “Walkway Over The Hudson” article on Wikipedia), and I know what I am writing about from 65+ years of experience on railroads.

If so, it was a total accident. Ask CaptainEek a senior arbitration who just found me my Talk page. However, I would rather leave Wikipedia permanently than deal with the sort of malicious accusation that you have just made. 16ConcordeSSC (talk) 23:27, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
