Gas lighting

[edit]

Hello, the other editor has been going around on numerous pages and changing natural gas to a pipe which says methane. There doesnt seem to be any justification for this, and in most cases has contradicted the sources. That was the reason for my reversion. But it turns out that the source on this page did indeed not mention natural gas, so I am fine with your reversion, and added a source to support inclusion. Thanks.

@Metallurgist: Sounds good! Thank you for the explanation and the additional ref. I still wouldn't recommend reverting good-faith edits under the pretense that you're fixing vandalism. (And I'm backed by WP:RV and other essays and guidelines on that point.) That's off-putting, and risks running off the newer editors who are just trying to help.
Separately, the list of gas types is, in my opinion, becoming an exhaustive litany that detracts from the article. — voidxor 15:51, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

re: "Grey Ghost"

[edit]

The citation (of a railfan photo page) is for the sentence "This locomotive was known for its unique, plain light-gray paint." To me this indicates that the name was in use by either its crews, etc. or by rail fans. The cited page indicates that at least the latter is true. Just my $0.02.

Convenience link to your reversion:

Personal websites are not reliable sources, and thus not allowed per WP:SPS. — voidxor 14:31, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hey

[edit]

i might have edit warred on a users talk page because the person was removing a alert of edit warring on another page, what do i do now 2606:9400:98A0:92A0:C5DF:5A30:7AC7:A367 (talk) 12:42, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As bad as edit warring is, registered users actually do have the right to clean or archive their own talk page as they see fit. When a user removes a message, that implies they've seen it.
I don't have a ton of experience in this area because I avoid engaging in edit warring myself. (In other words, other people's bad behavior doesn't give me carte blanche to do the same.) Please see Wikipedia:Edit warring § Handling of edit-warring behaviors for further guidance. — voidxor 13:04, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
