Mercedes-Benz Citaro page improvements

Hallo,

at first, I apologize that I undid your edits yesterday several times. I just tried to recover deleted contents, so I ask you to have understanding.

However, I have questions on you. You said that several newly added images on this page were awful. I have added these new images because I thought more necessary images will help people to understand the topic better. I didn’t know that the images must meet certain criteria to appear on the page. Could you explain what the picture requirements are?

So for example, the current title picture is about a Citaro C2 with Euro V standard. The most recent version of Citaro C2 is however with Euro VI standard, so an update of this image is required. I replaced the old one with a picture of BVG Berlin Citaro (with Euro VI), but you still want to keep the old one. Is instead an usage of a title image currently used on other wikipedia pages e.g. German version (de.wikipedia.org) allowed on English page? Or I must search for other images on Wikimedia Commons?

The same problem is also valid for an image of eCitaro. I’m waiting for your answer.

Hi Mingyu Tang, No need to apologise, This was entirely my error so my sincere apologies to you for yesterday,
Having compared both revisions today I realised you had actually improved the article and its images and I realised the images were related to the article headings,
My only problem is the infobox image (File:Mercedes C2 Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe .jpg) - That image is not as good as the now current image, I don't see anything wrong with this image,
Thanks, Kind Regards, –Davey2010Talk 21:16, 31 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hallo Davey2010,

thank you for your fast answer. I understand that you want to improve the quality of title image, BUT the bus model shown in the picture is no longer current. The newest version of Citaro C2 is with Euro VI standard. You can recognize a bump on the back roof of Euro VI version, which is missing on the Euro V version.

So I still have to ask you: Is it ok when I update the title image to that used on German Wikipedia page? The Citaro is shown in the newest model there.

Hi Mingyu Tang, So is File:Mercedes Citaro C2 TANGO n°372 Romarins (cropped).jpg Euro VI ?, I assume so but wanted to double check, The image is from the German Wikipedia but I've cropped it :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:49, 31 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hallo Davey2010,

yes, this is the file what I mean. I see that you cropped the image. Nice work!

So do you mean I could update the infobox image to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mercedes_Citaro_C2_TANGO_n%C2%B0372_Romarins_(cropped).jpg? When you permit, then I can carry out this action right now.

Kind regards Mingyu Tang (talk) 08:02, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Mingyu Tang, Ah okay brilliant many thanks for updating the image :),
Have a great day, Thanks, Kind Regards, –Davey2010Talk 09:23, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Davey,

your welcome. I’m always available to improve Wikipedia pages. Have a nice day!

28bytes - It would be hypocritical of me to defend my edit summary whilst myself telling people to fuck off in the past in a huff, I was slightly annoyed with that talkpage message but agreed I could've been nicer, Thanks for your message, Kind Regards, –Davey2010Talk 17:53, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about that, didn't know Twinkle wouldn't tell you what article it was for. It was for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Donald Trump (2nd nomination). There was just an MfD for this year's similar joke, and considering it got speedied there I decided to nom the previous two for CSD.

Sorry but no those 2 AFDs are no where near as bad as the one today, I'm sorry but those 2 are not attack pages. –Davey2010Talk 18:49, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

List of bus routes in Singapore images

Hello there, I left a talk section on the talk page of List of bus routes in Singapore.

I feel you should replace the image on the top. It looks very untidy with the product placement, and besides it is only partially lush green; whereas the images I put up before you replaced them appear neater, nicer and are fully lush green. Don't you think so?

The ones that I have put up previously:

You may leave the the other image as it is, but please replace the image on top because it's really uncomfortable for users to read. 2679D (talk) 12:43, 2 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Replied on the article talkpage, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 15:01, 2 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

"Talk page protect"

Yeah, that IP was dealt with...it was their fifth IP address though! :D ——SN54129 12:20, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi User:Serial Number 54129, Wow!, Well the moment I reverted they then popped up under a new one so knew it wasn't going to stop anytime soon lol,
Shame really, All that energy spent on being a moron could've been much better spent on improving the articles here. –Davey2010Talk 12:24, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Classic! Yeah, dead true  :) thanks for the reverts pal, appreciated. ——SN54129 12:25, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
No worries mate, Glad I was of help somewhere lol :), Take care, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 12:29, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Brisbane Transport Wikipedia Page

Hello, I am curious on why you decided to revert the Brisbane Transport Wikipedia page back to what it was prior to me doing the most recent edit. I spent a lot of time working on this taking most of the photos in the section 'Fleet' so if you could tell me why it would be greatly appreciated. Also if you do reply and I don't respond for a while it is because it is just turning over to Saturday in Australia so I won't be back online for a while. Kind Regards, EamonM25 (talk) 13:54, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi EamonM25, My sincere apologies, I thought this was the revision you were reinstating and for some unknown reason I thought was the latest revision, I hadn't realised you had fixed the mistakes so my sincere apologies,
I've removed the warnings from your talkpage,
Thanks, Regards, –Davey2010Talk 14:11, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I have just been back over the page and I have noticed that even the work that I have done prior to the major work done today was deleted. With the Brisbane City Council, they are well known for doing special liveries for anything related to their buses (advertisements for brands not included). I personally believe that the work I have done makes the Brisbane Transport page more interesting for the viewer as they can come and have a look at some of the history of Brisbane Buses and a lot of special things and features. Kind Regards, EamonM25 (talk) 14:25, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi EamonM25, Sorry but the content needs sourcing, Each vehicle and each livery section needs to be sourced to justify that table,
I've pasted the content to User:EamonM25/Brisbane Transport so you can work on this if wanted :),
Thanks, Regards, –Davey2010Talk 14:41, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I received a message that my sourcing was incorrect. I would like to know how this is possible as I have been able to do what you have asked for. EamonM25 (talk) 11:24, 5 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Chatham Dockyard

Hi - I am just a bit concerned about all the references you have removed from this article. Somebody has diligently used MacDougall's book to write or expand this article. It is now a bit of a mess with the references removed. If MacDougall is unreliable and the material came from MacDougall then the material should be removed. But is MacDougall really unreliable? Views welcome. Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 16:28, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Dormskirk, Unfortunately 2-3 years ago Phillip was using various IPs to add his books across a whole ton of articles, Once they were found out and reverted they resorted to creating an account which got indeffed, Since then I've removed their books across all articles,
I appreciate this could be considered disruptive seeing as their books are okay however I disagree with someone coming along and adding all their books to various articles in an attempt to promote themselves, and whilst Hsq7278 added the book in good faith I still object to any of his work being used here solely because of the promotional attempt,
Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 17:35, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for that. I certainly agree that using IPs to promote his books is unacceptable. I will continue to try and find some alternative sources for the Chatham Dockyard article. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 17:40, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Dormskirk no worries, Many thanks for your work over there I greatly appreciate you taking the time to resource it, Many thanks, Kind Regards, –Davey2010Talk 17:43, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
