Hello, I'm Charlesdrakew. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Exeter Central railway station, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for 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.
Although most (if not all) articles on railway stations give information on the services from that station, this is typically restricted to the number of trains per hour (or per day), the next station and the final destination. Other information is typically added to the article about the line or to that about the Train Operating Company, and is deliberately omitted from the stations. This includes (but is not limited to) stopping patterns and intermediate calling points (except for the most important centres). Some information is omitted entirely, including times of trains and advice on the quickest route or where to change trains. Please see WP:NOTTRAVEL and WP:NOTTIMETABLE. Thank you. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:21, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
- Further to the above: the inclusion at Southampton Central railway station of information like this is completely unnecessary. All trains from Southampton to Manchester run via Reading and Birmingham New Street - none run via Bristol, and never have done. Similarly, all trains from Southampton to Cardiff run via Bristol - no other route is ever used. Please stop putting in this superfluous padding. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:03, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- If a station like Clapham Junction is close to one end of a route, it is far less descriptive than a station like Salisbury that is reasonably close to the half-way point. Please think about what you are doing, don't add superfluous information, and consider carefully before reverting any edit. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:48, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
Railway56, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Hi Railway56! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Come join other new editors at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a space where new editors can get help from other new editors.
