Care to discuss?[edit]
Hi MTATransitFan, care to discuss some changes you're making to Central Ohio Transit Authority? I appreciate the overall effort but have another complaint to mention... Glad anyhow to see another rail enthusiast; I lived in New York for a while and edited NYC transit articles a bunch with some other prolific editors there. ɱ (talk) 02:50, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi @Ɱ: I was just trying to simplify the fleet tables and add pictures so that the buses could be seen better. I originally made the change because there were a few factual errors, but then for some reason that edit completely messed up the formatting of the page, and once you brought that to my attention, i re-did it and now it looks ok. I might make a change the shows the lengths of the Gilligs in their model names (as that is how it is on most other fleet tables, but I'm not sure if I will. Hope this resolves your concerns! Best, MTATransitFanChat! 13:34, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- So I'm not entirely convinced this format is beneficial. I may want to move it to a sandbox page until it can be fully fleshed-out. Right now I am unconvinced that the simplifications help with reading across rows, and the images may take up too much room and be unnecessary. Readers can see bus numbers clearly in the articles, and so far we've just been duplicating photos here as well... ɱ (talk) 14:09, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- The images will likely quadruple the size of the table, or perhaps even more. We can test it out in the sandbox, but I may prefer either no images here, or a link somewhere to these Commons images if you really insist. ɱ (talk) 21:24, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Page moves (railroad lines)[edit]
If you're looking to disambiguate articles, the names should be in the format Newark Branch (Erie Railroad). They should also be ambiguous; if there's not another article then there's no need to move them. Mackensen (talk) 21:06, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

May 2021[edit]
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Tiger Transit, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Ajf773 (talk) 09:18, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Tiger Transit. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and 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. Ajf773 (talk) 09:18, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi @Ajf773: Just added new sources (See my message at Talk:Tiger Transit), so I think it should be ok now. If not, let me know and I can try to find more sources! Thank you! Best, MTATransitFanChat! 13:02, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

2021 XD40[edit]
While I agree the current photo is not of good quality, a poor photo is better than no photo at all. Once a new one becomes avaiable, I will be totally okay with a photo change. Also, I think theres a better way to get your message across without calling other peoples work terrible. 199.79.168.209 (talk) 21:37, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
- No, a photo that is bad is worse than no photo. It's a new bus, there will be more photos soon. Best, MTATransitFanChat! 02:33, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- I dont think thats the case. That picture has been there for months and nobody else has had such a strong opinion against it. Im not totally understanding your issue with it to the point where you are so determined to remove it. 199.79.168.209 (talk) 17:55, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not against whoever made the photo, I just feel it is bad-quality. If it is true that others haven't felt this way, then I'll stop removing it. Anyhow, when a better 2021 XD40 pic comes along, we'll use that. I'll go see if there's one on Flickr that I can add to commons. Best, MTATransitFanChat! 18:00, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- I fully support using a better one while available but for now can we just use what we have instead of nothing at all? 199.79.168.209 (talk) 17:49, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- A search on Flickr turned up nothing, so yeah, let's use the current pic. Thanks! Best, MTATransitFanChat! 18:39, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
