Auxiliary route sections

Regarding this edit and similar ones, a few points are in order

1. MOS:HEAD says there are two problems with that section heading:
   1. It should not repeat the subject of the article, so the "of I-80 in Iowa" part should not be there
   2. The heading should be in Sentence case, not Title Case; in Sentence case, only the initial word and any words that are proper nouns are capitalized, not every world over five letter in length like a newspaper headline or book title...
2. According to MOS:DASH, we don't use spaced hyphens like that, and in fact, a simple colon there is better.
3. According to MOS:CONVERSIONS, we need to include the metric conversion for American measurements
4. According to MOS:ICON, we should never place an icon like that in the middle of a sentence.

I-80 in Iowa is a Featured Article, so while you're free to edit them, major changes like the addition of an entire section, should be discussed on the article's talk page first. Also, any additions to a FA need to comply with the Manual of Style... minor glitches are fine and can be corrected, but the number you made would make it easier for someone to just remove the entire section and not retain any of your additions. Imzadi 1979 → 19:40, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

I was going to say something to the same effect, but I was beaten to the punch. I took the advice given above and removed the section entirely. –Fredddie™ 23:38, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Just a friendly reminder, we don't constantly revert articles around here. That's called WP:Edit warring, and doing it can get your editing access blocked. Rather, I suggest you follow the tenets of WP:BRD. You were Bold to add the section, you've been Reverted, and now is the time to Discuss it. Imzadi 1979 → 02:09, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

You might want to rethink some things, especially in a case like: Interstate_40_in_Oklahoma#Auxiliary_Routes. First off, you're still mis-formatting the heading. Sentence case means "routes" would not be capitalized, and since there is only one, the heading should be singular not plural. Since there is only one, a bulleted list is overkill as well. Combining a sentence about this single 3dI along with a paragraph or two about the business routes, similar to Interstate 75 in Michigan#Related trunklines. Imzadi 1979 → 02:38, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Interstate 65 in Kentucky, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page East End Bridge (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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) 08:57, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Jct I-635 and I-29 and US-71.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Jct I-635 and I-29 and US-71.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. –Fredddie™ 13:19, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Better source request for File:EBS Test Screen.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:EBS Test Screen.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 03:08, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Files missing description details

Dear uploader: The media files you uploaded as:

• File:Title Page to RSV.jpg
• File:EBS Test Screen.jpg

are missing a description and/or other details on their image description pages. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the images, and they will be more informative to readers.

If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 04:43, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Question

Can you please explain why you reverted my edit [1] without leaving a summary? --Rschen7754 18:53, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Can you please explain why you removed what I added in the first place? --JoBrLa (talk) 19:16, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

As can be seen from the edit summary, and as Imzadi1979 explained to you above, it violates WP:MOSICON. --Rschen7754 21:22, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Please realize that if you continue to revert against community consensus, you will likely be blocked indefinitely from editing. This is the encyclopedia written by many people, not the encyclopedia written by JoBrLa. If you show us that you are not capable of working and collaborating with other people, that will not be a good thing. --Rschen7754 21:28, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

You still haven't convinced or sufficiently explained to me how including notes on auxiliary routes is detrimental to these articles. --JoBrLa (talk) 22:11, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Have you read WP:MOSICON? Have you read what Imzadi1979 wrote at the top of the page? --Rschen7754 22:16, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Re:

Hi, JoBrLa. I do not see where the source draws the conclusion that the exchange "effectively ended the once-cordial on-air relationship between Rome and Stern...". You should consider reconstructing your edit so that its content is supported by the cited source. Tiderolls 00:59, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

You're right, it doesn't. That info came from Rome's own remarks in later episodes of his show. I have removed that line from the paragraph. --JoBrLa (talk) 01:04, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick response. Tiderolls 01:13, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Final warning

Editors have repeatedly asked you to STOP adding auxiliary route sections to articles. You have refused to stop. Therefore, if you continue doing this, you will be reported, and will likely face sanctions, including up to an indefinite block from Wikipedia. --Rschen7754 05:57, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Fine! Ban me! I'm sick and tired of you Wikipedia Nazis undoing my fruitful and beneficial contributions to this site! You're all pricks and assholes! >:( --JoBrLa (talk) 21:09, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

I-70 in WV

I reverted this edit.

1. Per MOS:HEAD, we use what is called "Sentence case" for section headings. As I've tried to explain to you before, that means that only the first word of the heading and any proper nouns are capitalized. The term "auxiliary route" is not a proper noun, so the "r" in "route" does not get capitalized in a section heading.
2. Since there is only one such auxiliary route, adding a bulleted list is overkill. A bulleted list might be fine if there were multiple entries, but there are not.
3. Such a short section, completely lacking any citations, is also very poor form.
4. I-70 in WV is at WP:FAC, a forum designed to review and polish the best articles on Wikipedia. Adding poorly formatted and knowingly mis-formatted content to an article at FAC is a bad thing for an editor to do. Maybe you didn't know that, but know you do.

In short, please stop your poor editing practices, please learn from what others are trying to teach you, and then please do as we ask. If not, please don't be surprised if your actions warrant negative consequences. Imzadi 1979 → 06:01, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Oh Carol and Other Big Hits.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Oh Carol and Other Big Hits.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:19, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
