may i ask why did u revert my edits to Chevrolet Tahoe, [1] and [2]? 83.168.137.1 ( talk) 16:32, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello sir, may I ask why did u revert my edit to Ford F-Series (fourteenth generation) - [4]? per the usage on Template:Main it ''should also not be used in lead sections. A lead section is always a summary of its own article, not any other; as such, the only appropriate target for a {{Main}} link in the lead section would be the article itself, which is not useful. {{ Broader}} may be appropriate in this case.'' the other changes i made are surely not controversial 83.168.137.1 ( talk) 00:34, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
discusses a subject more broadly, but is not a main article (which should use {{ Main}}(emphasis added). For any instance where a generation has been split off to its own page, the original article is the main article.
I would like to know why you reverted my edits on area and population density? The Milwaukee Metropolitan Area is only 1,460 sq mi ( https://www.mmac.org/uploads/3/7/9/6/37962993/metro_facts_14.pdf pg. 3). Furthermore, the population density you reverted to includes water, of which the metropolitan area is more than 50%. Population density is always calculated using population over square miles of land ( https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-most-crowded-city-in-the-united-states.html ). You also reverted my edits on the Twin Cities, which uses urban instead of metropolitan population and area for its density. Unless otherwise noted, density should be for the metropolitan area only. Both of your reversions contradict Census data and are misleading. 2601:249:8680:4260:604A:1AEC:F9A7:EA76 ( talk) 06:03, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
"Red links are not a problem and do not need to be removed as a matter of course". So what function do they serve? Apart from the ones that are linked to Wiki.de, why can they stay? Does this mean I can make as many red links as possible, just like all the ones I have removed? Exactly what is the rules regarding creating red links? How many may I create?

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Chevrolet AK Series, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages New York and Georgia. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Is there a rule against lists? Even if prose is preferred by Wikipedia, lists and tables are often better for technical info like this, providing more conciseness, clarity, and easier reference. In what way did I duplicate the TOC? AFAIK, I did not remove any conversion templates, they were just moved from prose to tables. Your one legitimate change was restoring any broken links to section headings....so, how to I track links to ensure edits don't break any? Gtofever ( talk) 00:33, 7 April 2024 (UTC)gtofever
Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron ( talk), via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Is it against Wikipedia rules to include safety recall on car models, as you removed these sections that I inserted? @ MoCars MoCars ( talk) 07:14, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
If you want to repair / fix templates, go for it. You do not understand the overlinking or redlinks. We can talk about it here. Delectable1 ( talk) 22:24, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
To be honest I was trying to fix mistakes that need to be adjusted, like Clayton is correct for the beetle’s Australian production location, so no it’s not Melbourne, even though Clayton is suburb of Melbourne, I’m not trying to be a spambot, I was trying to do a helpful thing that was to fix mistakes on wiki pages to make it was correct, i was trying to fix the page, but not vandalising the article, i hope you understand. Thanks Liam Liam200351 ( talk) 14:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
It was not disruptive, it was acutally I was saying like I said before I know what is doing, is the last time I’m going to say this but I needed to fix the location of the Australia location, I’m Also good with vehicle knowledge so that you know what was the right location. Can you please leave it as Clayton? Don’t change it to Melbourne please? I hope you understand if not that’s fine Thanks Liam Liam200351 ( talk) 15:04, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
(CKD) assembly started in Australia in 1954, with the first fully Australian manufactured Beetle leaving the plant at Clayton, near Melbourne, in 1960.However, there is nothing there that supports the misleading link to Oakleigh that you were adding. Additionally, it's possible that stating Melbourne was intentional. For example, Kansas City Assembly is actually in Claycomo, Missouri and St. Thomas Assembly was actually in Southwold; it isn't uncommon for plants to be described in terms of the major city, not the specific part of the metropolitan area they're actually located in. That said, I won't put it back to Melbourne, but if that was done intentionally before, anyone else may change it back. -- Sable232 ( talk) 15:13, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
