::::As has been pointed out to you many times, removing the State from major cities at [[WP:USPLACE]] only talks about article naming and in no way supports removing in all cases in the face of disagreement. So essentially your behavior (ignoring consensus of projects, continuing to make these types of edits over objections of several editors over the course of years, etc) would be the focus. You don’t have a policy argument that overrides your behavior. We could absolutely come to an agreement on [[WP:NOPIPE]], as this would not preclude keeping State after city, it just might Drive how this is accomplished. But honestly, nobody WANTS to take this to ANI, I just feel like nothing else has worked with you, despite repeated attempts to discuss with you, literally over the course of years.

Rail line fixes and such
CC, thanks again for your continuing great work on fixing British railway line templates and names and such. Let me know if there's something I can do to help. I realize there are likely to always be some line/Line inconsistencies, since a few really do seem to be treated as proper names consistently. And getting every link to a name to agree and bypass redirects is a neverending thankless task; at least when doing that in templates there's a bit of leverage, and they're perhaps easier to find. If you think there are more such things where my help would be useful, let me know. I'm downcasing lots of Asian station and railway titles now, so probably a bunch will come up in that context. Hopefully some Asian editors who know this area better will get involved, but so far not much. Dicklyon (talk) 21:24, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
Boeing 767-233 listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Boeing 767-233. Since you had some involvement with the Boeing 767-233 redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Burninthruthesky (talk) 10:05, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for your edits of the Army-Navy game page in which you spelled out the states (which I take to be consistent with Wikipedia policy)rather than use the USPS abbreviations. The one I have an issue with, however, is the spelling out of California in the Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA CSA, both because that is the actual name of the CSA, and because spelling out the California makes it inconsistent with the other CSAs. Before I change it back, though, I thought I’d bounce it off of you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 3665047379b (talk • contribs) 14:28, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- I agree - that was a mistake on my part; I've corrected that and several related issues. Colonies Chris (talk) 14:37, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Removing state code on Basketball article tables
We have had this discussion many times. Consensus is to consistsently list City, State on Basketball article tables (rosters, game logs) and there’s is no Wikipedia policy/guideline banning them in these cases. Please stop removing these from major cities. Rikster2 (talk) 01:46, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
- Again, please stop removing State from major cities from basketball info boxes and templates. If this continues I do plan to go to ANI with this, because it has been going on for too long and dropping State is not a set guideline on Wikipedia. Many of us have tried to have this conversation with you but you do not listen. Rikster2 (talk) 02:50, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
- I agree with @Rikster2:. The same behavior can also be seen on NFL and other sports articles. We have discussed this with you in the past, but you just keep going "your way". ANI is the only solution to such behavior.
- I will continue to edit in accordance with the guidelines at WP:USPLACE ad WP:NOPIPE. If you choose to take me to ANI, I will defend my actions vigorously. Colonies Chris (talk) 16:46, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
- As has been pointed out to you many times, removing the State from major cities at WP:USPLACE only talks about article naming and in no way supports removing in all cases in the face of disagreement. So essentially your behavior (ignoring consensus of projects, continuing to make these types of edits over objections of several editors over the course of years, etc) would be the focus.
