September 2014

Hello, I'm Charlesdrakew. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Exeter Central railway station, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Although most (if not all) articles on railway stations give information on the services from that station, this is typically restricted to the number of trains per hour (or per day), the next station and the final destination. Other information is typically added to the article about the line or to that about the Train Operating Company, and is deliberately omitted from the stations. This includes (but is not limited to) stopping patterns and intermediate calling points (except for the most important centres). Some information is omitted entirely, including times of trains and advice on the quickest route or where to change trains. Please see WP:NOTTRAVEL and WP:NOTTIMETABLE. Thank you. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:21, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Further to the above: the inclusion at Southampton Central railway station of information like this is completely unnecessary. All trains from Southampton to Manchester run via Reading and Birmingham New Street - none run via Bristol, and never have done. Similarly, all trains from Southampton to Cardiff run via Bristol - no other route is ever used. Please stop putting in this superfluous padding. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:03, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If a station like Clapham Junction is close to one end of a route, it is far less descriptive than a station like Salisbury that is reasonably close to the half-way point. Please think about what you are doing, don't add superfluous information, and consider carefully before reverting any edit. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:48, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24h for WP:3RR. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

You have clearly broken WP:3RR. I still could have given you a warning, but it looks like edit-warring is your prefer way of resolving editing disputes. Next time, please disengage and go to the talk page to discuss.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:07, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:25, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Exeter, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Newcastle. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article 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) 08:59, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stop!

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Reading railway station.

You do not have consensus for your edits and have been told so several times before. It would seem that you have not learnt from your previous block. The next one will be much longer. Stop editing against consensus. Feel free to raise the issue either on the talk page of the relevant article or at WT:UKT. 17:35, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
