Disambiguation link notification for January 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Topkapı—Ulubatlı (Istanbul Metro), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Topkapı. 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.

January 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Central Data Bank", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it implies likelihood of shared usage. Wikipedia's username policy is that a user should use only one account in most cases and that must not be shared between more than one individual. Wikipedia accounts that imply likelihood of shared usage are also not permitted. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 23:00, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

• Hi, I have been using Wikipedia for 8 years now with the same name. Recently I wasn't able to access my account because I had the wrong password in my memory. So I created User:Central Data Bank 2. I have regained access to this account (as I finally remembered the correct password) and now have no use for the other one. I can change the name or delete my other account if necessary but I don't understand why I must change the name of this one after 8 years. Thanks. (Central Data Bank (talk) 23:05, 16 January 2015 (UTC))

Hello Central Data Bank, and thank you for your contributions. You may abandon your other account as there is no "deletion" feature on accounts due to technical inabilities and copyright reasons. I'm sorry that it has come to you now, but in last five years quite a few things including Wikipedia's policy and guidelines have been changed a bit. Wikipedia's Username policy doesn't allow usernames that imply likelihood of shared usage and/or are simply names of a company, group, organization, school, band, firm, etc. I see that you have made thousands of edits on here, therefore I'd advise you to request username change to something that identifies an individual to comply with Username policy (if you create another account, you'll lost your personalized settings and contributions log and everything associated with this account). If you work for "Central Data Bank" and want yourself to affiliate with it on Wikipedia, you may choose a username such as, "Name At Central Data Bank", that way it will represent an individual working for the entity not the entity itself. I hope it does help. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 23:23, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

• I'm an administrator, and I can assure you there's no need to change your username or delete your account. You're a long-established editor with a track record of constructive edits, so you can safely disregard the above. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:25, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Okay, thank you. I was confused a bit regarding this. I appreciate the help. (Central Data Bank (talk) 00:59, 17 January 2015 (UTC))

Route diagram templates

Hi, I noticed that you added {{Konya Blue Train}} to a tracking category. ({{BSsplit}} shouldn't have br tags inside it.)

You may want to create new diagrams using {{Routemap}}, as the {{BS-table}}/{{Railway line header}} combination has been deprecated for some years; and you can use the parameter |inline=yes in Routemap (and use the template directly) instead of using {{Infobox RDT}}. In addition, it's better to use {{BScvt}} instead of {{Convert}} inside RDTs (since it takes up less horizontal space). Happy editing, Jc86035 (talk • contribs) Use {{re|Jc86035}} to reply to me 06:54, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Invitation for creating KAZAKHSTAN RAILROAD ARTICLES

Hello there, I'm very impressed by your work and effort in creating articles for railroad purposes. I'd like for you to participation collaboration for creating railroad related articles for Kazakhstan. I am descendant of person who was one of the main people that stared Kazakhstan railroad program. His name was Mukhamedzhan Tynyshpaev. I recommend you to read about my great great grandfather. As a descendant of the "father of the Kazakhstan Railroad" I'd like for you to help me out in creating Kazakhstan's railroad lines, stations articles. My great great grandfather is well known person that many people in Kazakhstan know him by history books.

Here are my examples of what articles I created for you to read to get the information on Kazakhstan Railway information:

• Almaty-1 railway station
• Almaty-2 railway station

I believe my country and my great great grandfather created something unbelievable for our own rare Kazakh people. Kazakh railroads span all over the steppe terrain the country. Many unknowingly people would look and think of boring railroad with steppe and snowy mountains in background but in reality there's very unforgettable and has unique most interesting story behind it. Kazakhstan was an empty nomadic place with no railroads. But with my great great grandfather, who transformed into industrial transportation place and created a full history and story on Kazakhstan's railroads. He might've created and done his job by expanding the railroads, however there is a needed expansion for people to learn about him by me inviting you to help me creating more articles and information on railroads. I hope you will help me do my great great grandfathers job, to make his legacy even more known not only for Kazakhs but for the whole world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShadowNinja1080 (talk • contribs) 03:28, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

• Hi! I would love to help you out. As a railfan, it would be my pleasure to expand pages regarding railroads for any country. However, I don't know a lot about the Kazakh railways. If you could provide me with some references, I will be sure to contribute! I will also look around to see what I can find.

(Central Data Bank (talk) 11:54, 31 October 2016 (UTC))

• • What I can provide you if the country Kazakhstan, I see your interested in Turkey. Kazakh language is nearly identical to the Turkish language. It also where Turks originated from Central Asia. It's like comparing United States to United Kingdom. Turkey is like United States and Kazakhstan is like United Kingdom. Both have same close identical language, and lots of modern Turkish people are descendants from Central Asia where Kazakhstan is. Like Americans who majority of English descents. I think you should be interested as Kazakhstan as you are with Turkey. Here's good reference for the railroad company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShadowNinja1080 (talk • contribs) 23:37, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Please consider applying for Autopatrolled

Hi, I've just patrolled an article you created. Having had a look through some of your previous created articles it seems to me that you should apply for the Autopatrolled permission. It would help reduce the backlog at New Page Patrol if articles as good as the ones you've been creating weren't on the list. Regards, Cabayi (talk) 09:15, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

• Hi, thank you for your advice. I have just applied for the autopatrol permissions. I am waiting for an answer. Once again, thanks for letting me know! Cheers! (Central Data Bank (talk) 09:24, 2 November 2016 (UTC))

Talk pages on articles

Hi, I swa you ask for autopatrol. Good job with articles. With that said, I recommend creating a talk page on the articles you create, especially with the text {{WikiProject Turkey}} and {{WikiProject Transportation}} . Anyone in those projects will see the new creations and possibly come and help on it. Pyrusca (talk) 15:39, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Central Data Bank, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. PLease ensure that the related project banners are added to the article talk pages. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing!

State Railways and Seaports Administration

Hi, Central Data Bank, State Railways and Seaports Administration is especially interesting for me because of personal reasons. As far as I know, this administration continued well after 1929 with in the Bayındırlık Bakanlığı. Later in 1970s it merged with the administration of Airports to form DLH in the Ministry of Transportation. (As you can see these were on the construction end and not in the operation end) Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 07:56, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

• I wrote the article from the documents I could gather on the subject. If you have any digital documents regarding the topic or the history of the Turkish railways that focus on certain special topics, I would gladly read them and contribute further on Wikipedia. I will do more research into this matter and try to get as much information as I can and then add to the article. Unfortunately I do not live in Turkey, therefore I can only further my collection of TCDD related documents when I visit. I aim to greatly expand articles on Turkish railways and any help is greatly appreciated! Best regards (Central Data Bank (talk) 12:51, 27 March 2017 (UTC))

List of bridges

Thanks for your contribution to List of bridges in Turkey. But the list tends to be too long. How about splitting the article by creating List of Bridges in Turkey with respect to length (or maybe a more appropriate title) ?

I agree. I'll create a new page for that purpose. Also, if you don't mind, I will edit the List of bridges page to show bridges by their respective regions or provinces. It would make it easier finding a bridge on the list. What do you think? (Central Data Bank (talk) 12:20, 15 August 2017 (UTC))

Do you mean the current aricle ? The provinces are already shown in the current article along with a phote and the historical term. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:26, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

I meant sort them according to their region for example in the Marmara Region or Southeastern Anatolia region. This way we can even show bridges that dont have their respective wikipedia article. (Central Data Bank (talk) 12:31, 15 August 2017 (UTC))

We can add red link bridges. But for geographicak regions; I don't think that's a good idea for the geographical regions and the provencial borders don't overlap and there are uncertainities in such provinces as Bilecik, Muğla, Kahramanmaraş etc. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 14:32, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Sure (Central Data Bank (talk) 20:23, 15 August 2017 (UTC))
