Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Grenada station, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. I have no patience for edit warring about station names. Either follow the process and file a requested move, or find something else to do. If you continue to change station names without consensus, I will seek a block. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:15, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A few users have already pointed out that the correct name is "Grenada Depot," not "station." Yet it seems like you’re deliberately ignoring the evidence that’s been provided. I saw how another user even went out of their way to show you clear proof, and you still refused to acknowledge it.

At this point, there’s no excuse not to fix it. "Depot" is the common and proper name, and it's what people actually call it. Keeping it listed incorrectly only confuses others and disrespects the efforts of the community that’s trying to keep things accurate.

The name needs to be changed to "Grenada Depot." HIBUDDYYY (talk) 04:26, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The evidence that has been presented so far is scant and inconsistent: a historic marker and a construction sign (neither of which are considered reliable sources), and a NRHP listing that uses a completely different name. That is not clear proof of anything. Per the article naming policy, article titles should reflect what is used in reliable sources, and should be consistent with other articles. The policy also calls for sentence case - non-proper-nouns like "station" and "depot" should not be capitalized unless they are consistently part of a proper noun phase.

Looking at old newspapers, I find a mix of "Grenada depot" (1859, 1928, 1988) and "Grenada station" (1930, 1930, 1988), with a sprinkling of "Grenada Station", but no uses of "Grenada Depot". Amtrak and Illinois Central just called it "Grenada". Without one name being consistently used, WP:USSTATION establishes that "Grenada station" as the generic descriptive name.

I have no preference whether the article is titled "Grenada station" or "Grenada Depot"; all I care about is that it follows Wikipedia policies, which you have failed to follow so far. If you want to change the name of the article, then you need to go through the requested move process. That process, which gives an opportunity for other editors to look at the evidence and weigh in, is required for all potentially controversial moves. If you want such a requested move to succeed, you will need strong evidence that reliable sources (newspapers, magazines, academic journals, etc) consistently use "Grenada Depot".

I see that you reported me. You know, I tried correcting you, but you clearly can't handle it. So, keep being wrong, I guess. Doesn’t bother me. I'm done with this tomfoolery. HIBUDDYYY (talk) 04:12, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
