User talk:RapidDweller

Hi RapidDweller, I’ve prepared an article in my userspaceDoSS . It includes reliable references and details that demonstrate notability, such as major research achievements and distinguished, award‑winning alumni. When you have a moment, could you please take a look? If everything appears in line with Wikipedia’s guidelines, I’d appreciate it if you could move it to the main space on my behalf. Since I have a conflict of interest, I’m avoiding making that move myself. Erfan2017 (talk) 13:17, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Erfan2017. Although I'm not qualified to assess the article draft, I can offer suggestions to improve it to fit Wikipedia's quality standards which can be found at WP:MOS. Mainly, I recommend limiting discussion of rankings and academic prestige and keeping it to its dedicated section to avoid academic boosterism.

Edit: I went ahead and made some minor changes. Hopefully this helps!

Thank you very much. Your changes and guidance are very helpful. Erfan2017 (talk) 15:00, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your contributions. I note your recent revert of my edit at this article.

According to my research, GO's station is at 214 Cross Avenue, adjacent to Via's station at 200 Cross Avenue. Google Maps imaging confirms that there are two distinct station buildings here. Am I missing something? 162 etc. (talk) 16:38, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi there, thank you for reaching out.

I don't have any source for this other than firsthand experience but the two buildings are generally considered to be part of the same station. GO trains use all platforms, so if anything, its more like an inter-modal hub similar to Union Station (its article treats it as one station despite having entirely separate concourses for Via Rail and GO). Similar idea with other stations that serve both rail operators.

I think that the Oakville article should be titled "Oakville station" to remove the confusion because I agree that the way the article is right now is convoluted, namely the way it has a Via infobox style and GO title format. I'm hoping the current discussion to change station article titles can fix that.

Hope this helps! RapidDweller (talk) 01:19, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

> "I don't have any source for this other than firsthand experience but the two buildings are generally considered to be part of the same station."

Wikipedia is based on reliable sources. I do not see any evidence in such sources that this is considered one station. I've restored the edit which correctly labels both stations (Via and GO). 162 etc. (talk) 17:25, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Perhaps separate articles might be appropriate in that case? I'd recommend starting a discussion on the talk page (depending on the outcome of the current one regarding titles, I suppose). RapidDweller (talk) 01:38, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Not necessarily opposed to that, but it would be best discussed at the talk page, yes. 162 etc. (talk) 01:59, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I note your recent edits adding the GO logo to bus terminal infoboxes, citing "consistency".

I suppose this means consistency with GO train stations? I don't think that this is a good argument. It's commonname to call, say, Eglinton GO Station "Eglinton GO", but I don't see any evidence of, for example, "Union Station Bus Terminal GO". 162 etc. (talk) 20:01, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi there!

My edits were to reflect the way GO Transit station signage appears, regardless of whether its a train or bus station.

I don't agree that the inclusion of the GO Transit logo on signage implies that the word "go" is pronounced with the station name. If station names were pronounced literally based on signage, then Oakville GO would be "GO Oakville", which is not the case. Please see photos below of signage at Oakville followed by examples of bus stations with the same style of signage.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Centre for Medieval Studies, Toronto when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.
