Please do not add or change content, as you did at 36th Street station (BMT Fourth Avenue Line), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. I am aware you added this yesterday, but please do not add unsourced content about temporary service reroutes. They are rarely notable to the history of a specific station, as most station articles do not even include service history information. If necessary, the details can be added to the articles about the physical BMT/IND/IRT lines, but only with reliable secondary sources. Thank you. Epicgenius (talk) 18:32, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Williamsburg, Brooklyn, you may be blocked from editing. Netherzone (talk) 22:20, 5 June 2021 (UTC) Missed warning above, sriking warning. Netherzone (talk) 22:21, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

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

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at 1 (New York City Subway service), you may be blocked from editing. Please don't place an image that you know has an incorrect bullet. Epicgenius (talk) 17:32, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Your edits to NYC Subway pages

Hello. I have noticed that you are changing images to NYC Subway articles such as here, where you swapped out an image of a 5 train. I understand you may be trying to help out at these articles. However, some concerns have been expressed that you are not making helpful edits elsewhere:

• Here, you said that Forest Hills-71st Avenue was "simply known" by a name that was actually longer (and which is also not a name that is officially in use for the station). It may well be the case that you are trying to say "also known", so this is not as big as an issue than the others on this list.
• Here, you changed an image of a 1 train with the correct bullet to a 1 train with an incorrect bullet.
• Here, you added bullets of trains that haven't served the Queens Boulevard Line in several years and, in some cases, decades.
• Here, you added a service reroute. These are not noteworthy as they happen relatively often.

Do you mind discussing your edits? It would help me and others understand what your intention is behind some of these edits. I would really appreciate hearing what you have to say about these. Epicgenius (talk) 17:57, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
