Hi - My name is Frank Caiafa and I am the author of the Waldorf Astoria Bar Book and just wanted to be sure the the hotel's important link to cocktail culture was included on its page. All information is verifiable and true. Also, the line that I removed regarding 'Sir Harry's' bar and its 'creation' of the Rob Roy and Bobby Burns cocktail are incorrect and needs to be removed. They were creations of the old bar at the original hotel on Fifth Avenue. Can I submit my changes to someone at Wiki and have them upload? Please advise and thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Factumirror ( talk • contribs) 16:00, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
On 8 December 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in New York City hosted two world's fairs? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Flushing Meadows–Corona Park. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Flushing Meadows–Corona Park), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I have an issue with Template:NYCS 63rd Lexington. They currently look like this:
The way they appear now is not the way they they should appear. And because the template source is so complex, I do not know how to edit it. The way the template should appear should look like this (using Template:NYCS 14th Eighth as example):
Do you know how I could correct it? Or if you can do so, can you correct the template when you get the chance. Let me know if you can make the changes so we can fix the infobox on the page Lexington Avenue–63rd Street (63rd Street Lines). And PS: don't edit the info in the parenthesis

Hi!
I am trying to install your stub tag software "subst:iusc|User:Epicgenius/stubtag.js".
So I go to my commons.js page
User:Nikolaiho/common.js and at the bottom add : {{subst:iusc|User:Epicgenius/stubtag.js}} but it says "Warning: Label 'subst' on iusc statement" and has a red cross next to it.
What am I doing wrong and how can I install the thing? Thanks!!

I wish you Happy Holidays and I wish you the best for the upcoming year. Thanks again for all your great work on articles in WP:NYCPT. A lot would not get done without you. If you are not aware, I have been editing a lot of articles concerning the Staten Island Railway as of late, and I have been adding a lot of information that I have discovered to the History of the Staten Island Railway article. As you probably know I have nominated it to be a Good Article, but have yet to hear a response. When you have a chance, can you see if there any issues with the additional content that I have added to the article, and see if there is anything else in the article that needs to be worked on?

Hi. The creator of the TWA Hotel article put it up for DYK, but because the article seemed to have been written without knowledge of the TWA Flight Center article and had other issues as well, my review of the nomination at Template:Did you know nominations/TWA Hotel said it should be merged into TWA Flight Center. However you have now improved TWA Hotel and I am wondering whether it should stay a separate article, especially if there is a lot of new construction and replacing of original features. I am not sure how other similar cases have been handled, where a structure completely changes purpose – in most cases I think there is just one article for the original purpose, such as Pro-Cathedral of the Holy Apostles or Good Shepherd Cathedral, Ayr. Maybe it depends upon whether the new purpose achieves a lot of attention in its own right? Anyway, if you think it should remain separate I will reopen the DYK nomination and add you as a contributor. Wasted Time R ( talk) 14:42, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Epicgenius, I saw that you removed a lot of my examples of debutantes who have participated in the International Debutante Ball in the Waldorf Astoria New York article since you said that there is already an article about this so I did not have to mention it in detail in the Waldorf Astoria NY article.
But to clarify why I did that: none of the examples I mentioned (of notable debutantes and famous families who have participated in the ball) are actually mentioned in the International Debutante Ball article since I checked the history of of the International Debutante Ball article and it looks like a user called Bromley86 has claimed ownership of that article (which I believe is not allowed on Wikipedia) and does not allow anyone to add or edit anything on the International Debutante Ball article (since it seems like he removes everyone's edits). If I cannot add the examples I mentioned in the Waldorf Astoria NY article (which all have refs), since you said there is already an article to mention all of this (in the international debutante ball article), why is nobody allowed to add any good faith edits about famous debutante families (all with refs) in the International Debutante Ball article according to Bromley86? Hope you can clarify and help with this situation, before I add the info again - I would really appreciate your help!
It is strange why that user (Bromley86) will not allow anyone to make any good faith edits in the International Debutante Ball article, since there is another debutante ball called Le Bal des débutantes which is full of puffery and not a good structure for a Wikipedia article and he seems to allow that based on what I have seen in his edit history (but he removes everything in the International Debutante Ball article according to his point of view without really discussing it with anyone)-- Imchris00 ( talk) 16:32, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
