In the edit [1] you added a an undefined reference <ref name="ULA_tech_sheet2" />, which now gives a big red error in the references section. Could you please take a look at that? Thanks in advance, Thue (talk) 11:25, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits severely decreased the quality of the article, including breaking the table.

Please self-revert. Redacted II (talk) 18:10, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Boeing Crew Flight Test shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

There were some additional edits not affecting the width of the Disney Transport template made within the past few days that you reverted along with everything else, such as an enlarge template for a brand-new station layout template I made for the TTC. I'm assuming you didn't notice them, or else you would not have done that. Anyway, if you want the width reduced more, we could get rid of the Disney Direct (employee only/blue) bus routes like how I had it in the past when I first created the whole thing years ago, though that would make the coverage for Lynx incomplete. Perhaps we should add a note to the template page specifying the scope, which in my mind is every location on WDW property covered by Disney Transport and Lynx. The only exception is the Shades of Green Resort, which is an oddball one that was originally built by Disney. Getting rid of that one won't reduce the width, BTW, as there will still be an outer elevated edge for the monorail occupying the same space. Jackdude101 ^talk cont 00:22, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for deleting more than the routeboxes. I’d argue that all routes that are not accessible to guests are out of scope and be deleted. RickyCourtney (talk) 01:14, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your argument is actually 100% compatible with how the template is now. As opposed to the Disney Direct (blue) Lynx routes, which are designed specifically for employees, the regular (purple and orange) Lynx routes are for the general public, and every location with a blue route also has at least one purple route or something from Disney Transport.

But including Disney University? Having 7 routeboxes? Wikipedia is not a travel guide. I also feel strange about having all these bus only destinations. Most templates like this only show fixed, permanent guideway routes. Bus routes can change quickly. Fixed guideways can’t. RickyCourtney (talk) 01:51, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm meeting you halfway and got rid of all the routeboxes, but kept the singular Lynx icons. Disney-related transportation is anything but normal (railroad crossings with roller coaster swing bridges, riverboats interchanging with gondola lifts, etc.).

It’s better. I’d also say that the cast centers and shades of green should come off as they’re not open to the public, therefore it’s not really important for the broad audience of Wikipedia to know about them. Also, ESPN WWOS has pretty irregular service unlike the other bus locations. RickyCourtney (talk) 02:37, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a "yes and no" situation with the general public having access to Shades of Green. On the one hand, you need to be working directly with the DoD or be active US military to be eligible to stay, but on the other hand, you can get that requirement waived a number of ways, so it depends on how strictly you define "general public." If it's a question of notability, besides having its own article, it's one of only five such resorts in the world run by the US DoD, and the only one in the continental US. And as I mentioned before, it was originally a Disney-owned resort named "Disney Inn." Jackdude101 ^talk cont 03:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here’s another reason: Shades of Green isn’t served by the Disney buses. They’re contractors. That makes it just as notable as say the Bonnet Creek, Disney Springs or Flamingo Crossings hotels. RickyCourtney (talk) 03:21, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, Bonnet Creek and Flamingo Crossings are on the edge of the WDW property, but not within it, so they would never be included regardless. The third-party Disney Springs hotels are on property, but they weren't built by Disney. Shades of Green is on property and was originally built by Disney, so it's not quite the same as the others. Also, for the record, Disney buses do serve the cast member parking lots. Buses with marquees like "VIP Cast Member" or "Special" will likely go to them. It's true that these places are not things that the general public would see on a typical Disney trip, but that's precisely why I'm interested in including them. I want to establish that, despite the facade that Disney puts in front of everyone, there's more to the resort than what they want you to see. Jackdude101 ^talk cont 03:47, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It’s already a huge route map template. Removing Shades of Green and the cast centers lets us slim width by one column and two rows. It doesn’t seem like a big sacrifice to me. RickyCourtney (talk) 03:55, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As my wife would say, "I've seen bigger." Anyway, yes, deleting the two cast member parking lots would decrease the rows by two, but we'd still have seven columns if we got rid of Shades of Green. Even if there were no resorts in that column, the monorail's outermost edge on the left barely occupies that first column. Without Shades of Green, it would appear to the naked eye that there's an unused first column, and would lead to a lot of inexperienced editors trying (and failing) to correct that. I promise you there's no way to reduce the columns further than what you see now. Jackdude101 ^talk cont 04:08, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
