You have done great work on that article! I really appreciate the efforts. There was a completely un-sourced section of sports which was one of the reasons for a failed FA which is now sourced by me. Also I have add more sources and I m searching for few more. So can I please ask you to do copy-edits and find sources for few facts. After 1 or 2 weeks, we can probably nominate it for FA.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited New York metropolitan area, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Garden State ( 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.

Greetings, I see that you made a terrific effort in improving the NY Metro Area article. However, some of your revisions (specifically the Transportation ones) I had to revert back. The extra information you added was wonderful, but that should really go in that bridges' own article. This is supposed to be just a list.
Also, I removed the Driscoll and Tappan Zee Bridges because they doesn't really connect to the 5 boroughs of New York, especially Manhattan. I can understand why you added the TZBrg, but since that's part of the Thruway system, I don't see any need to add it. You could consider the Newark Bay Bridge (along the New Jersey Turnpike Extension) to be a major crossing, but then again it's part of the Turnpike system and doesn't directly cross into one of the five boroughs. Same goes for the Driscoll Bridge.
Any questions? Feel free to contact me. Thanks. Mlaurenti ( talk) 20:10, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Your additions to " Puerto Rican migration to New York" are really good, however you know that Wikipedia policy requires that you cite and provide reliable verifiable sources to back up your statements. Otherwise, your additions will be removed, something which I would hate to see. Tony the Marine ( talk) 00:18, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Castncoot ( talk) 05:25, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
"However, in more recent years, there has been a resurgence in immigration from Puerto Rico to New York and New Jersey, with an apparently multifactorial allure to Puerto Ricans."'
"New York City also became the mecca for freestyle music in the 1980s, of which Puerto Rican singer-songwriters represented an integral component."
"and whose influence in popular music continues today, encompassing major artists such as Jennifer Lopez."
Since you added them, you have the option of backing them up before they are tagged as POV, in which case it would be preferable to have the statements removed. You have most likely checked out my user pageand therefore you know that my main interest is to protect the integrity of the Puerto Rican articles that I and others have created for Wikipedia.
That is why I salute you for your contributions, but at the sametime ask you to avoid that the article be tagged POV. It is for the good of our readers and those who know little or nothing about the contributions which Puerto Ricans have made in general who may being to question it's contents.

FoCuSandLeArN ( talk) 12:38, 5 January 2013 (UTC)Hello Castncoot. Seeing as you're the editor who reverted User:Martin Hogbin's recent change to the statement about New York City being the financial capital of the world, I'd like to cordially invite you to participate in the discussion on the article's talk page. In your edit summary of your revert, you state that the subject has been "talked to death" and that there is no obligation to conform this article to another. Not being one of the team of dedicated editors who work on the NYC page, I couldn't comment on whether you have talked about the subject enough. What I do know that things change over time, including economic figures. It may be that New York can still be considered the financial capital of the world but that cannot be established without examining the facts.
As for conforming to another article, we should try to be consistent across Wikipedia, since we are writing an encyclopaedia, not a collection of unrelated articles. Whilst there is no up-to-date Wikipedia guidance about consistency ( this page seems to have been abandoned), if two pages about such high-profile cities directly contradict one another, then we are not provided a coherent service to our readers.
With this in mind, I encourage to come and engage in the discussion. Warmest regards, -- ThunderingTyphoons! ( talk) 15:23, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
There's actually a very good reason for the dab. "New York City" is not the actual name. "City" should only be used to distinguish it from the state. That's why the article is called that. And the parameter is "largest city", so "city" is not needed after "New York". It's redundant. -- Musdan77 ( talk) 02:56, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation here would anyway be frivolous. Just plain frivolous. Why confuse the Wikipedia reader?
There are a couple of other (purely additional) noteworthy points as well- - "New York City" is ubiquitously used in common language. Have you ever heard "Los Angeles City" or "Chicago City" ever being used in common language? Didn't think so. - Aesthestically it looks nice in the pictorial section, with New York City displaying three words, Los Angeles displaying two words, and Chicago displaying one word. See? There's a method to the madness!

I would just like to let you know that the Demographics section has only been placed before the Government section for the past few months, so that is hardly "longstanding". I distinctly remember it being after it just like almost every other article on a nation or political division. The conventional organization of sections in such articles is the reason we don't put "Culture" as the first section and "Government" as the last section. Your response to my edit also sounded very caustic. I placed the section between "law enforcement" and "Economy" if you look at where that actually is, it is hardly the "bottom of the barrel." Now I know why Wikipedia has gotten the reputation of having hostile watchdogs who think they own articles. I'm not willing to make a fuss over a little rearrangement but most of all I wanted to inform you of your attitude. Have a nice day. Cadiomals ( talk) 17:54, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Whats wrong with my ethics? Anyway I suggest you concentrate more on responding to my edits and hold back on the personal insults. Not because it concerns me, I have pretty thick skin (must be a commonwealth thing), but because it will derail any discussion on improving the article.

I really don't know how to explain it better than I did at the New York talk page, so have asked someone here to try.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
New York City. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 06:57, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Lady Gaga, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. — Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 17:29, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Lady Gaga 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. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Tbhotch. ™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!

Hello. I noticed that you've recently reverted one of my edits to New York City, and I would like to explain my reasoning behind said edit so that we may see eye-to-eye.
You are unquestionably correct that MOS:DASH allows for either em dashes or spaced en dashes to be used in an article; however, I think you may have misinterpreted the Manual of Style. For one thing, the characters you reinstated are neither em dashes (—) nor en dashes (–), but rather hyphen-minuses (-), which are not acceptable as per the style guidelines. Information on how to enter em dashes and en dashes via a keyboard is available at WP:How to make dashes.
Secondly, I think you may not have considered punctuational consistency throughout the article. If you take a look at MOS:EMDASH specifically, you will see the following two sentences: "There are two options. Use either unspaced em dashes or spaced en dashes consistently in an article." The key here is the word consistently; that is, all articles should use either only em dashes or only spaced en dashes. In the very next paragraph of the article's lead, as well as in the remainder of the article, em dashes are used. For the sake of consistency, then, em dashes should be used, not spaced en dashes, and certainly not hyphen-minuses.
Lastly, I would like to mention that while you may find one particular punctuational symbol more readable than another in a given situation, this preference should not be weighted more heavily than the established punctuational standards.
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Where there are cases where the same reference is used for multiple different sentences, using "ref name", that is unavoidable. Just thought I would bring that up as a better editing practice. YMMV of course.-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 03:49, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
The photo I added, has more commercial use, but non the less, the pic you reverted to was taken from Central Park looking south. I agree with the IP user that it also looks to have been taken with a fisheye and the city looks like it is at a slant, and distorted. I did a whole series of pics today, of the ENTIRE skyline of Manhattan, and will create a nice group of those shots for the lead pic, on that page, so as to get a proper aerial perspective that is now out of proportion, like the one you reverted back to. talk→ WPPilot 21:54, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Have you ever been to New York? In Central park you can not see the world trade building, as the Mid Town structures (the ones you see IN MY PICTURE) are in the way. What on EARTH are you talking about with regard to the background is New Jersey? My photo was taken, by me just over a week ago, as I was standing on Rat Rock.

I am sorry that you unaware of how that part of the site works, perhaps, before making random comments on project pages you are unfamiliar with that you learn or at least read about the section. Please refrain from making random comments, in regard to placement, on those pages. Your proposed photo in no way makes it clear that the island is a island, and in fact it could be a shoreline anywhere with a statute on it. As you have already reverted the photo, regardless of what other quality members of this community feel about the photo itself, you go right ahead and use the photo you like, if that is what you need to do to feel happy ok. talk→ WPPilot 05:41, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for caring about the articles about the city and state of New York. I have a question about your recent reverting of my edits to those articles. Would you agree that it would be inappropriate to capitalize the first letter of the word "state" in a sentence that says "... often called New York City or the City of New York to distinguish it from the state of the same name"? Changing the prepositional phrase to "of New York" shouldn't change the capitalization, right? Generally, I have no problem with proper nouns such as "City of New York", "New York City", "State of New York", etc., but, IMHO, "state of New York" is not being used as a proper noun in this particular sentence.

NP and thank you for the complement. The two photos also in part demonstrate my points. In the first photo, from yesterdays race had the sun been behind us the white of the sails and the craft itself would have been super saturated. For Aerial work, the best "light" for photos is early in the AM or late in the PM, on super clear days just after a weather front passes. The second photo is a sunrise example of just that, so as to graphically illustrate the challenges. Obviously I am on the other side of the country now, but that changes often. It was a fun flight and it is one I will do again someday, my point here has always been that aerial photos are rather complex, with a lot of variables that can be financially prohibiting when it requires that "all the stars align" so to speak.

Please take a look at this edit, where I tried to find a bit of balance, especially in the Community diversity section. The section, which includes 16 subsections (!) takes up a disproportionate chunk of the article. Most of the sections are fairly small, listing overall population data and selected prominent population centers, while others are out of proportion to the other sections, to the size of the community an to the size of the corresponding sections in the articles for the state's 20 other counties. I'm not sure what order had been intended, but I tried to take a first stab at reorganizing by descending order of the size of the community. I tried to use 2013 American Community Survey data, though it seems to be more challenging than the 2000 data. EPodunk was great in its day, but it's all 2000 data that needs updating, as do the vast majority of the community-level sources from the Census Bureau. Nor am I sure of the reliability or provenance of the information taken from City-Data.
Let me know what you think and what the next steps should be in further improving this and other county articles. Alansohn ( talk) 15:40, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi! I'm pinging Epicgenius, since he's the other editor working on trying to fix this. First, I'm not trying to be a dick by reverting, but it's usually easier to make the correction if you go back to a clean version. Your latest edit, still creates an "invoke" error on two of the references. I've been working on updating the List of United States cities by population, so I haven't been able to give this the attention I should. There's a "ref name" (or two) which was in the earlier edit, and for which the article uses more than once, which has been deleted by your edits. That's the issue I was trying to point out needing to be fixed. Hopefully, I've made sense here. Onel5969 ( talk) 16:00, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

I don't know why you're so obsessed with adding bridges to an article on a region. Regions have a wide variety of infrastructure, both tangible and intangible. But I'd sroads and highways, buildings, and geographical features like rivers and reservoirs are much more a 'lifeline' to a region than bridges. This is so irrelevant. Please discuss this on the talk page for Hudson Valley, or better yet, at WikiProject Hudson Valley for more consensus.

It's the largest "indoor" statue of "Buddha" in "the West". Not the largest statue of Buddha, nor the largest indoor statue, nor the largest statue in the West, nor the largest Buddha in the West, et cetera! How many qualifiers do you need! Next you're going to add a photo of the largest chocolate ice cream sandwich on a black plate sitting on a desk in the west! The region is so big and so important, why waste space mentioning a religious object of a tiny minority of the population. As you said, you don't want people to misread the region as rural, well they're gonna misread it as having a giant Buddhist population (no pun intended).

Re [2].
The fact that the main dispute on the talk page is about what the Polish government just said, with people disagreeing whether the statement from a few hours ago, or a statement from a day ago, or a statement from three days ago should be emphasized I think sort of illustrates that this is still a "current" event. The attacks themselves are not that "current" but the responses are still ongoing.
Still, I don't think the "current" tag is all that important so I'll leave it up to your discretion as to whether it should be put back or not. Volunteer Marek 22:52, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

I was wondering why you removed the "U.S." birthplace from Donald's infobox. I feel very strongly that it belongs there. For example, in other featured articles such as Barack Obama and both Bushes. They clearly cite but do not link "U.S." at the end.

Greetings, I see that you made a terrific effort in improving the NY Metro Area article. However, some of your revisions (specifically the Transportation ones) I had to revert back. The extra information you added was wonderful, but that should really go in that bridges' own article. This is supposed to be just a list.
Also, I removed the Driscoll and Tappan Zee Bridges because they doesn't really connect to the 5 boroughs of New York, especially Manhattan. I can understand why you added the TZBrg, but since that's part of the Thruway system, I don't see any need to add it. You could consider the Newark Bay Bridge (along the New Jersey Turnpike Extension) to be a major crossing, but then again it's part of the Turnpike system and doesn't directly cross into one of the five boroughs. Same goes for the Driscoll Bridge.

Your additions to " Puerto Rican migration to New York" are really good, however you know that Wikipedia policy requires that you cite and provide reliable verifiable sources to back up your statements.

"However, in more recent years, there has been a resurgence in immigration from Puerto Rico to New York and New Jersey, with an apparently multifactorial allure to Puerto Ricans."'
"New York City also became the mecca for freestyle music in the 1980s, of which Puerto Rican singer-songwriters represented an integral component."
"and whose influence in popular music continues today, encompassing major artists such as Jennifer Lopez."
Since you added them, you have the option of backing them up before they are tagged as POV, in which case it would be preferable to have the statements removed. You have most likely checked out my user pageand therefore you know that my main interest is to protect the integrity of the Puerto Rican articles that I and others have created for Wikipedia.
That is why I salute you for your contributions, but at the sametime ask you to avoid that the article be tagged POV. It is for the good of our readers and those who know little or nothing about the contributions which Puerto Ricans have made in general who may being to question it's contents.

FoCuSandLeArN ( talk) 12:38, 5 January 2013 (UTC)Hello Castncoot. Seeing as you're the editor who reverted User:Martin Hogbin's recent change to the statement about New York City being the financial capital of the world, I'd like to cordially invite you to participate in the discussion on the article's talk page. In your edit summary of your revert, you state that the subject has been "talked to death" and that there is no obligation to conform this article to another. Not being one of the team of dedicated editors who work on the NYC page, I couldn't comment on whether you have talked about the subject enough. What I do know that things change over time, including economic figures. It may be that New York can still be considered the financial capital of the world but that cannot be established without examining the facts.
As for conforming to another article, we should try to be consistent across Wikipedia, since we are writing an encyclopaedia, not a collection of unrelated articles. Whilst there is no up-to-date Wikipedia guidance about consistency ( this page seems to have been abandoned), if two pages about such high-profile cities directly contradict one another, then we are not provided a coherent service to our readers.
With this in mind, I encourage to come and engage in the discussion. Warmest regards, -- ThunderingTyphoons! ( talk) 15:23, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
There's actually a very good reason for the dab. "New York City" is not the actual name. "City" should only be used to distinguish it from the state. That's why the article is called that. And the parameter is "largest city", so "city" is not needed after "New York". It's redundant. -- Musdan77 ( talk) 02:56, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation here would anyway be frivolous. Just plain frivolous. Why confuse the Wikipedia reader?
There are a couple of other (purely additional) noteworthy points as well- - "New York City" is ubiquitously used in common language. Have you ever heard "Los Angeles City" or "Chicago City" ever being used in common language? Didn't think so. - Aesthestically it looks nice in the pictorial section, with New York City displaying three words, Los Angeles displaying two words, and Chicago displaying one word. See? There's a method to the madness!

I would just like to let you know that the Demographics section has only been placed before the Government section for the past few months, so that is hardly "longstanding". I distinctly remember it being after it just like almost every other article on a nation or political division. The conventional organization of sections in such articles is the reason we don't put "Culture" as the first section and "Government" as the last section. Your response to my edit also sounded very caustic. I placed the section between "law enforcement" and "Economy" if you look at where that actually is, it is hardly the "bottom of the barrel." Now I know why Wikipedia has gotten the reputation of having hostile watchdogs who think they own articles. I'm not willing to make a fuss over a little rearrangement but most of all I wanted to inform you of your attitude. Have a nice day. Cadiomals ( talk) 17:54, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Greetings and felicitations. I noticed that you reverted my changes to the New York City article, with the comment:
Undid revision 554682440 by DocWatson42 (talk) You have a browser issue. This looks horrible and there are editing errors as well.
I intend to check on the possible browser issue later today, but right now I'm curious about the "editing errors"—besides image placement, what errors do you feel I made?— DocWatson42 ( talk) 08:24, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Whats wrong with my ethics? Anyway I suggest you concentrate more on responding to my edits and hold back on the personal insults. Not because it concerns me, I have pretty thick skin (must be a commonwealth thing), but because it will derail any discussion on improving the article.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
New York City. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 06:57, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Lady Gaga, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. — Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 17:29, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Lady Gaga 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. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Tbhotch. ™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!

The logo is a non-free image, owned by the hospital. It cannot be used, except pursuant to a fair use rationale. A rationale has been put forward to use it in the article of the hospital itself, but it could not be good fair use in the article for the county (and indeed, a FU rationale has not been put forward for that article.

Hello. I noticed that you've recently reverted one of my edits to New York City, and I would like to explain my reasoning behind said edit so that we may see eye-to-eye.
You are unquestionably correct that MOS:DASH allows for either em dashes or spaced en dashes to be used in an article; however, I think you may have misinterpreted the Manual of Style. For one thing, the characters you reinstated are neither em dashes (—) nor en dashes (–), but rather hyphen-minuses (-), which are not acceptable as per the style guidelines. Information on how to enter em dashes and en dashes via a keyboard is available at WP:How to make dashes.
Secondly, I think you may not have considered punctuational consistency throughout the article. If you take a look at MOS:EMDASH specifically, you will see the following two sentences: "There are two options. Use either unspaced em dashes or spaced en dashes consistently in an article." The key here is the word consistently; that is, all articles should use either only em dashes or only spaced en dashes. In the very next paragraph of the article's lead, as well as in the remainder of the article, em dashes are used. For the sake of consistency, then, em dashes should be used, not spaced en dashes, and certainly not hyphen-minuses.
Lastly, I would like to mention that while you may find one particular punctuational symbol more readable than another in a given situation, this preference should not be weighted more heavily than the established punctuational standards.
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

May I suggest to this editor to bundle their references per WP:CITEBUNDLE, this makes for better appearance, and avoids WP:BOMBARD.

The photo I added, has more commercial use, but non the less, the pic you reverted to was taken from Central Park looking south. I agree with the IP user that it also looks to have been taken with a fisheye and the city looks like it is at a slant, and distorted. I did a whole series of pics today, of the ENTIRE skyline of Manhattan, and will create a nice group of those shots for the lead pic, on that page, so as to get a proper aerial perspective that is now out of proportion, like the one you reverted back to. talk→ WPPilot 21:54, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for caring about the articles about the city and state of New York. I have a question about your recent reverting of my edits to those articles. Would you agree that it would be inappropriate to capitalize the first letter of the word "state" in a sentence that says "... often called New York City or the City of New York to distinguish it from the state of the same name"? Changing the prepositional phrase to "of New York" shouldn't change the capitalization, right? Generally, I have no problem with proper nouns such as "City of New York", "New York City", "State of New York", etc., but, IMHO, "state of New York" is not being used as a proper noun in this particular sentence.

NP and thank you for the complement. The two photos also in part demonstrate my points. In the first photo, from yesterdays race had the sun been behind us the white of the sails and the craft itself would have been super saturated. For Aerial work, the best "light" for photos is early in the AM or late in the PM, on super clear days just after a weather front passes. The second photo is a sunrise example of just that, so as to graphically illustrate the challenges. Obviously I am on the other side of the country now, but that changes often. It was a fun flight and it is one I will do again someday, my point here has always been that aerial photos are rather complex, with a lot of variables that can be financially prohibiting when it requires that "all the stars align" so to speak.

Please take a look at this edit, where I tried to find a bit of balance, especially in the Community diversity section. The section, which includes 16 subsections (!) takes up a disproportionate chunk of the article. Most of the sections are fairly small, listing overall population data and selected prominent population centers, while others are out of proportion to the other sections, to the size of the community an to the size of the corresponding sections in the articles for the state's 20 other counties. I'm not sure what order had been intended, but I tried to take a first stab at reorganizing by descending order of the size of the community. I tried to use 2013 American Community Survey data, though it seems to be more challenging than the 2000 data. EPodunk was great in its day, but it's all 2000 data that needs updating, as do the vast majority of the community-level sources from the Census Bureau. Nor am I sure of the reliability or provenance of the information taken from City-Data.
Let me know what you think and what the next steps should be in further improving this and other county articles. Alansohn ( talk) 15:40, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi! I'm pinging Epicgenius, since he's the other editor working on trying to fix this. First, I'm not trying to be a dick by reverting, but it's usually easier to make the correction if you go back to a clean version. Your latest edit, still creates an "invoke" error on two of the references. I've been working on updating the List of United States cities by population, so I haven't been able to give this the attention I should. There's a "ref name" (or two) which was in the earlier edit, and for which the article uses more than once, which has been deleted by your edits. That's the issue I was trying to point out needing to be fixed. Hopefully, I've made sense here. Onel5969 ( talk) 16:00, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

I only got a few. They are File:Flushing Main St LIRR entrance May 2015.jpg and File:Flushing Queens May 2015 2.jpg. I believe I also put another picture of mine on the Flushing Chinatown page, but I don't recall its name. Epic Genius ( talk) 16:47, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
@ Epicgenius: The second one is amazing. WOW! Thank you. Best, Castncoot ( talk) 02:03, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
Castncoot, because you are a frequent contributor to List of tallest buildings in New York City, I was wondering if you could review and provide feedback on List of tallest buildings in Brooklyn, which is currently a Featured Article candidate at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of tallest buildings in Brooklyn/archive1. Thank you for your continued contributions to Wikipedia! -- West Virginian (talk) 02:12, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chinese Americans in New York City, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Public school. 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.

I don't know why you're so obsessed with adding bridges to an article on a region. Regions have a wide variety of infrastructure, both tangible and intangible. But I'd sroads and highways, buildings, and geographical features like rivers and reservoirs are much more a 'lifeline' to a region than bridges. This is so irrelevant. Please discuss this on the talk page for Hudson Valley, or better yet, at WikiProject Hudson Valley for more consensus. If I were you, I would undo your edits and seek consensus, because I find the gallery/galleries highly irregular, unnecessary, and unencyclopedic.-- ɱ (talk · vbm) 02:57, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

It's the largest "indoor" statue of "Buddha" in "the West". Not the largest statue of Buddha, nor the largest indoor statue, nor the largest statue in the West, nor the largest Buddha in the West, et cetera! How many qualifiers do you need! Next you're going to add a photo of the largest chocolate ice cream sandwich on a black plate sitting on a desk in the west! The region is so big and so important, why waste space mentioning a religious object of a tiny minority of the population. As you said, you don't want people to misread the region as rural, well they're gonna misread it as having a giant Buddhist population (no pun intended). If you like the photo and pop-culture guidebook gimmick of a fact, please keep it on the article for Putnam County, New York and/or Kent, New York. Thank you.-- ɱ (talk · vbm) 06:28, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Castncoot. I have manually edited this page while keeping your corrections but i have removed various unnecessary clutter of images, organised the page and have added only notable immigrants from each region. 117.192.201.56 ( talk) 20:35, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
Please read this notification carefully:
A
community decision has authorised the use of
general sanctions for pages related to the
Syrian Civil War and the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, such as
November 2015 Paris attacks, which you have recently edited. The details of these sanctions are described
here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a
one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described
here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Re [2].
The fact that the main dispute on the talk page is about what the Polish government just said, with people disagreeing whether the statement from a few hours ago, or a statement from a day ago, or a statement from three days ago should be emphasized I think sort of illustrates that this is still a "current" event. The attacks themselves are not that "current" but the responses are still ongoing.
Still, I don't think the "current" tag is all that important so I'll leave it up to your discretion as to whether it should be put back or not. Volunteer Marek 22:52, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

On EVERY page regarding Puerto Ricans, you make it seem like New York is the epicenter for Puerto Ricans across the world. I have news for you buddy: IT IS NOT! Period Stop making it seem like newyork is the glorious wonderful capital for alll Boricuas worldwide, f*ck new york. Cuz obviously we dont like that city no more, alot more Puerto Ricans moving to Orlando, Tampa, Philly, and even Boston, from both Puerto Rico AND New York. NY has a declining PR population, who tf wants to go there, the ones who are there are leaving in droves.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Boston, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Garchy ( talk) 03:46, 17 January 2016 (UTC
I was wondering why you removed the "U.S." birthplace from Donald's infobox. I feel very strongly that it belongs there. For example, in other featured articles such as Barack Obama and both Bushes. They clearly cite but do not link "U.S." at the end. Even though Donald was born and raised in New York City (which happens to be the largest city in our lovely country), he is still American and NYC is part of the US. Unless you can offer me a better explanation I have gone ahead and restored it. ToriJana ( talk) 10:38, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
