List of road routes in Western Australia

Hi Jc21051979,

Thank you for you recent edits adding information to List of road routes in Western Australia. However, you also reverted my subsequent edits to the above article (shown here). Unfortunately you did not leave a clear edit summary, so I have no idea why you did so. If you did so in error, you can undo your own edit. Anyway, I'll explain here what I did and why:

1. Changed Ave→Avenue, St→Street etc: I changed the abbreviations to the full versions for consistency with the other entries on the list, and because road articles on Wikipedia use full versions in the title (eg Mitchell Freeway, Mandurah Road). Also, the Manual of Style (MOS) section on Abbreviations suggests that editors "Always consider whether it is better to simply write a word or phrase out in full, thus avoiding potential confusion for those not familiar with its abbreviation. Remember that Wikipedia does not have the same space constraints as paper."
2. Remove some red links: In lists, it is generally better to avoid too many red links, as they start to look more like a worklist for editors and article creators, rather than a list for readers, as per the MOS section on lists.
3. Shorten the note on SR14 and put the old route in Decommissioned section: Text in the notes column is generally better off being shorter (if it gets the same information across), as long notes stretch the table and make other columns narrower on smaller screens. The way I reworded it let readers know that it had been rerouted, a provided a link to lower down the page for the old route. Similarly, the old route had a link to further up the page for the new route.
4. Reorder the decommissioned routes: In line with the ordering of the rest of the page, I changed the order to National Routes followed by State Routes, in numerical order.

You can reply here, on my talk page, or start a new section on the article's talk page.

Once again, thanks for the information you added. If you enjoy editing road articles, you may want to check out WikiProject Highways, a collaborative effort to improve and standardise the format used in articles about highways, freeways, expressways, throughways, and other major forms of road. - Evad37 (talk) 00:41, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

6PR

I have again reverted your edits to 6PR.

• The On-Air Line Up is not appropriate for an encyclopaedia. As stated in WP:NOTRADIOGUIDE, "an article on a radio station should not list ... current schedules, etc".
• The other edits, which you undid and I have re-instated, were:
  • removal of unnecessary capitalisation, in line with WP:MOSCAPS,
  • fixing a run-on sentence

If you still disagree, please discuss the matter on the article talk page. Thank-you, Mitch Ames (talk) 11:03, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Ignoring advice and reverting

1. WP:3RR can see you blocked
2. have a look at WP:NOT and WP:ABOUT - and consider that you are perhaps in a position where regular editors are tyrying to get you to underestand what wikipedia is. Well worth considering, the alterantive could see you blocked. cheers sats 11:49, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
