== Conrail commuter rail ==

Regarding [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conrail&curid=1399844&diff=1002669457&oldid=1002668797], my understanding is that Conrail did briefly continue the Youngstown operation, and that's what [[Cleveland commuter rail]] says at the moment. Ditto the Valpo operations, which Amtrak doesn't assume until '79. [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 15:39, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
:The biggest issue is that neither of those services were part of Conrail's off-loading of commuter services in 1983, which is what the section is about. Also, there's no connection between the Valpo Local and Metra, so that was incorrect regardless (not to mention the poor style and lack of proper capitalization). 
:Some mention could be made, but they should be distinguished from the 1983 group, which has much more in common; all were already heavily subsidized and using state-owned equipment, each was independently branded, and the respective agencies really called the shots, with Conrail acting as a contract operator. The only real difference was that the crews now worked directly for the various agencies, and some trackage ownership was transferred, though not as much as some think, as a lot of the tracks already were owned by the states. [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad#top|talk]]) 16:06, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
::{{u|Oknazevad}}, understood. I rewrote the section to make the distinction clearer. Could do with expansion, but probably best in our non-existent article about the [[Northeast Rail Service Act of 1981]].

==Garden State Plaza==
Hi, Okanazevad. I know you're a veteran editor, so I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but as you know, adding uncited material to an article, even if it's to update recent developments in the topic, as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garden_State_Plaza&type=revision&diff=1006057908&oldid=1006057406 you did with Garden State Plaza], is not permitted by [[WP:V]], [[WP:NOR]], et al. If you want to update the paragraph, that's perfectly fine, of course, but the proper way to do it is to add the latest development ''after'' the previous one, and accompany it with a supportive citation of a source. Feel free to re-add your update if you can do so in adherence to those guidelines. Thanks. [[User:Nightscream|Nightscream]] ([[User talk:Nightscream|talk]]) 22:05, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

==New York==
Without a cite for "distinguishing", that sentence seems like [[WP:NOR|original research]], and its oddness is heightened because its not really something one would find in a real encyclopedia, its either rather odd trivia or it's otherwise dictated not by encyclopedic need. [[User:Alanscottwalker|Alanscottwalker]] ([[User talk:Alanscottwalker|talk]]) 18:32, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
:While I can agree that a cite would help, it isn't odd to explain why a term is used at all. I have to disagree fully with that sentiment. [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad#top|talk]]) 18:35, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
::It is odd, even assuming its true, and without a cite there is no way to know, its treating the reader like an idiot -- any reader can easily understand why a state is called state, and with the city in the same sentence it could not be any clearer.

:::Disagree. Making explicit the reasoning is just reader-friendly writing. We can't assume the reader is in the least familiar with American geography and political subdivisions.

::::That is treating the reader from anywhere in the world like an idiot. It takes no knowledge of geography, nor political subdivisions to know it's a state.

::::::The usual reason, Wikipedia gives multiple nomenclature: 'in case you read or hear, New York State, that's what is being talked about, here'.

:::::::::Sorry,
:::::::::
:::::::::1) You asked why mention it's called New York State and I gave the reason.  ("The usual reason, Wikipedia gives multiple nomenclature: 'in case you read or hear, New York State, that's what is being talked about, here'.")  I thought you were already familiar with Wikipedia telling readers there is sometimes more than one way to refer to a topic. In this article it is "New York", and "New York State". 
:::::::::
:::::::::2)  You said you had a point in making the sentence, and I then reiterated that that point needs a source ( "But whatever the purpose of that sentence, it can't make-up a reason for being . . .")  I thought we already established that point you want to make is currently unsourced.
:::::::::
:::::::::3) I then went further because the sentence not only introduces the nomenclature, "New York State", it also introduces New York City as is its largest city ( thus I said, "given the article is going to discuss the state's largest city, as a prominent part of the topic, it makes sense in the intro to introduce that, too).  
:::::::::
:::::::::4) As I think you will remember, my proposed sentence is, 
:::::::::
:::::::::"It is sometimes referred to as '''New York State''' and its largest city is [[New York City]]." 
:::::::::
:::::::::instead of, 
:::::::::
:::::::::"It is sometimes referred to as '''New York State''' to distinguish it from [[New York City]], which is its largest city." 
:::::::::
:::::::::Because "to distinguish it from" is unsourced.  My proposed sentence also has the benefit of more directly delivering the main information, and without the extra subordinate clause. [[User:Alanscottwalker|Alanscottwalker]] ([[User talk:Alanscottwalker|talk]]) 22:16, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

== Hamden station ==

I think it's worth having an article for the old station plus the aborted plans for a new station, even if it never gets built. Same with the sentence in the North Haven station article. [[User:Pi.1415926535|Pi.1415926535]] ([[User talk:Pi.1415926535|talk]]) 19:26, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
:I think an article on the historic station is suitable, but the article would need a total overhaul as the previous version really overstated the amount of actual planning for a possible modern station, which is not in the actual current plans nor was necessarily going to be in the same spot as the historic station. At most the article should mention that a new station of the name was looked at and not pursued. Mostly the reason I went and scrubbed it was that it was incorrectly mentioned in many places as being actually in planning, which it is not, as had been pointed out at the main Hartford Line article. I'm not even all that keen on mentioning it at the North Haven station article, as it is not really relevant unlike the other actually planned infill stations.

== Totenkopf ==

Setting aside that that "the Punisher skull" ''is'' a totenkopf as defined by the wiki entry ("It consists usually of the human skull with or without the mandible and often includes two crossed long-bones (femurs)"), you removed entire sections and examples that are not inspired by the Punisher.

If "It's not just being a skull" then you should also remove all other examples on the wiki entry that are just skulls. For example, the Arditi skull symbol.
:Edit warring gets you nowhere. The insertion has been objected to by multiple editors already. Per [[WP:BRD]] once removed the material stays out until there's consensus to add it back in. 
:as for the actual logo in question, it ''is'' just a skull. Not all skulls are ''totenkopfen'', which has a particular meaning and cultural context in English. That is lost in the definition and that list has long been full of excessive and incorrect inclusions. Let's not make it worse.

== CTRail rolling stock ==

So I recently saw your removal of the Hartford Line Rolling Stock chart because the "roster is not Hartford Line exclusive, and is shared with Shore Line East as part of CTrail pool". And I agree with that. Does that mean the Shore Line East roster is also not exclusive to Shore Line East? If the answer is yes, I'll also remove the rolling stock chart on the Shore Line East page.

--[[User:Davidng913|Davidng913]] ([[User talk:Davidng913|talk]]) 15:14, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
:Yeah, I think that's a safe thing to do. The rolling stock chart has been on the Shore Line East article since before the Hartford Line commuter service existed, and before the [[CTrail]] article was created as an overview for both services. Now that both services exist and share equipment, it makes sense to put the equipment chart in the overview article, not the individual lines, just as with the other multi-line commuter railroads of the northeast.

::I'm not sure I agree. While the locomotives are pooled, the coaches don't seem to be (the MBBs haven't made an appearance on SLE to my knowledge), and M8s will of course only be on SLE should they finally be used.

:::{{reply to|Pi.1415926535}} In that case would you also like me to restore the roster on The [[Hartford Line]] page as well? Also I hope you're fine with the creation of the [[CTrail]] page back in March 2021. [[User:Davidng913|Davidng913]] ([[User talk:Davidng913|talk]]) 01:09, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
::::I wouldn't. In response to Pi, I'd say that M8s can easily be added to the CTrail roster chart if and when they get around to using them on SLE (though they apparently wouldn't be used for all trains). Being limited to only one line isn't a reason to leave them off. After all, M8s only are used on one line by Metro-North, and yet they appear on the Metro-North article's roster. [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad#top|talk]]) 03:19, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
::::: This is a bit different than that - Shore Line East has 28 years of equipment history prior to the CTrail brand. Even without a table, there's still a need for a substantial section about the equipment history. [[User:Pi.1415926535|Pi.1415926535]] ([[User talk:Pi.1415926535|talk]]) 04:17, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
::::::Yes, but. Namely that the history of SLE is the history of CTrail. That they added commuter service to the Hartford Line is largely because of the success of SLE. They're not separate systems, but two lines of the same system. [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad#top|talk]]) 12:47, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

== Minor League Baseball content ordering ==

Hi Oknazevad, the first three sections of [[Minor League Baseball]] are Early history, Ownership, and Current system (in that order). I'm thinking to move Current System above the other two, as most readers would be coming to the article for current information (especially given this season's new structure). Thoughts? Thanks.

== Edit to Pathfinder Roleplaying Game ==

Hi, I noticed you reverted an edit of mine a few months ago. My edit indicated that in Pathfinder 2e, you can potentially take a reaction on your own turn. You said that was "not helpful" because a reaction is triggered by someone else's action. That is usually the case, but reactions have lots of triggers. A reaction could be triggered by another character's reaction on your turn. Additionally, there is a whole class of reactions that are triggered not by actions but by other circumstances. For example, the Azure Briolette Aeon Stone grants a reaction that is triggered when an enemy fails a saving throw to a spell you cast. So, it is plainly inaccurate to suggest that you can only use a reaction when it isn't your turn, and I have reverted the edit.

== Marlins Park/[[LoanDepot Park]] ==

Hi Oknazevad, I saw that you added an NPOV tag to [[LoanDepot Park]] (aka Marlins Park) a while ago. I have copyedited parts of the article and I wanted to get your opinion. I haven’t copyedited the “Design” and “Features” section yet, however I reworked those you mentioned on the article’s talk page. Particularly, I wanted to ask you if there was anything I may have left out after my copyedits that was previously in the article.

Here is the revision prior to my reworking of the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LoanDepot_Park&oldid=1022578487

And here is the current version of the article after my edits: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LoanDepot_Park&oldid=1023360348

Thank you, [[Special:Contributions/2601:587:200:DFA0:7475:B3A6:3880:DF3D|2601:587:200:DFA0:7475:B3A6:3880:DF3D]] ([[User talk:2601:587:200:DFA0:7475:B3A6:3880:DF3D|talk]]) 00:17, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
:Well, the blanket reversion was unfair and unwise. So I'm sorry that was done. Two thoughts come to mind. First, article talk pages aren't really the place to draft rewrites, so the wholesale copying of material from the article isn't a good idea. I'm going to have to remove that. The place to do that is in a [[WP:SANDBOX]] page. Which you would have if you were a registered user, something I highly recommend anyway, as it shows a commitment to the project that makes it less likely for your edits to be blanket reverted. It's not supposed to be that way, but it's true that it is. [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad#top|talk]]) 00:27, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
::I appreciate that. It actually was that blanket revert that made me seek out an editor to see if some sort of approval was needed to make wholesale reworkings of articles. I had a registered account back in the day, so I have some background knowledge of Wikipedia editing. I just didn’t know the state of Wikipedia editing these days and its policies now. I just may register again and make a RfC on that article to greenlight my changes.

== Billiard ball revert ==

Hello. I see that you [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Billiard_ball&oldid=prev&diff=1024685957 reverted] this edit I made to [[Billiard ball]], with the ES "That's not particularly notable. Every manufacturer has their own shades. It's not an entirely different color." I would just like to point out for the record that every billiard ball set that has the cyan-coloured 7 and 15 balls has a noticeably lighter shade of green for the 6 and 14 balls. While your ES is justified (and for the record I don't entirely disagree with the revert) I just thought that it was worth including because I have never personally seen a set with a cyan 7 ball and a regular, dark green 6 ball. Thanks --[[User:DL6443|<span style="background:#B3EBFF; color:#0000B4;">'''DL'''</span><span style="background:#0000B4; color:white;">'''6443'''</span>]] ([[User talk:DL6443|<sup>Talk</sup>]]/[[Special:Contributions/DL6443|<sub>Contribs</sub>]]) 06:35, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
:While true (the cyan 7 is unique to the Cyclop TV sets), green is still green, which was my point. What I'm concerned with is bloating the paragraph with every manufacturer-specific variant. [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad#top|talk]]) 19:40, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

== Cleanup of merged section at Airline#Types ==

I appreciate your recent improvements to [[Airline#Types]]. Even if the section needed more work however, your [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Airline&type=revision&diff=1026674112&oldid=1026673091 edit summary comments] about a merge being "poorly executed" and "not enough", were not the best choice of words. At first pass, they make me want to stop contributing. There’s an important difference between commenting on more work needed and criticizing an editor for contributing to an insufficient extent. If the merge was a step in the ''wrong'' direction tell me, but if it was in the right spirit and happens to be minor or incomplete, just leave those comments off. The ''helpful'' part is first portion explaining what you did to fix it. (And again - thanks for that.)

Honestly - this is minor. From your user page though it looks like you genuinely care about editor engagement on WP so I hope it’s well received. --[[User:N8wilson|N8]] 23:24, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

== Suggestions needed ==

Re [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United_States_Army&curid=32087&diff=1028043042&oldid=1027952233 your reaction], my edit did have a takeaway: the Army is ineffective with SHARP. Corporals are ideal as non-bullies; the higher ranks tend to become more toxic. So, one direction for culture change in the Army might be to point out the need. --[[User:Ancheta Wis|Ancheta Wis]] [[User talk:Ancheta Wis| &nbsp; (talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Ancheta Wis| &#124; contribs)]] 18:42, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
:All of that sounds more like PR and OR than appropriate for an article. Noting the changes so that  now corporals are promoted from specialists instead of being a parallel rank for a non-com track is a worthy addition. Possibly explaining the motive for the change is good as well. Verbatim copying of Army releases, complete with their penchant for over capitalizing common words, is not. Also, it is better material for the specific article on enlists ranks, not the main article on the Army, which runs around of [[WP:RECENTISM]]. I think it's best to wait for third-party sources here, to leave the analysis to them, and to paraphrase that analysis with attribution in the correct article.
