If I add details to certain articles such as the list of train/subways, do I also have to add citations that support it too?

:Yes. All Wikipedia content should be based on reliable sources that allow our readers to verify the content. For uncontroversial details a primary source such as the subway operator's website may suffice, but if no third-party sources discuss those aspects of the topic, maybe they're not all that important in the first place.

I looked at the station chart and its details on some lists of subway stations on a subway system, but it didn't show any reliable source that supports the details of that chart.

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_2,_Guangzhou_Metro, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_3,_Guangzhou_Metro. Do you think that these articles needed additional citations? Why or why not?

:Verifiability is one of Wikipedia's core content policies. As I said, all Wikipedia content should be verifiable from reliable sources. Articles which do not cite such sources should be improved or, if that turns out impossible, deleted. Since the two articles you pointed out currently do not satisfy the verifiability policy, they need additional citations. Huon (talk) 00:53, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

{{help me-helped}}

So I can improve an article and have someone else do the citing. Do you think that's okay?

:As long as it's not sock puppetry it's fine. Also, make sure to sign your posts on talk pages with 4 tildes (~). Acalycine^{(talk/contribs)} 07:43, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

I created a thread in the talk page of this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Chicago_Transit_Authority. Can you respond to that please? Jchen1999 (talk) 15:41, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

:{{done}} And a comment on the previous request: Cooperating with someone else on adding well-sourced content is fine and well. Adding unsourced content in the vague hope that someone else possibly might add sources to it is something else entirely. Others will gladly help with formatting references, for example - but you should know that the sources exist and be able to provide them on request. Huon (talk) 16:02, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

If I make an article, can other people not see it when I didn't publish it? Jchen1999 (talk) 20:49, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

:Hi Jchen. If you "make" an article, you "publish it" and other people can see it. There isn't any way to "make" an article and not "publish it" unless you save the article information on your computer like in a word document. If you're working on a draft article, AfC, or sandbox you can work on it without worrying about others assessing it too much until it's moved into the main article space. Mkdw^talk 20:54, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

{{help me-helped}}

I logged out of my account and typed User:Jchen1999/sandbox and it seemed that other people can see it. How do I make it so other people can't see what I'm doing? Jchen1999 (talk) 21:43, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

:As Mkdw said above, the only way to prevent others from seeing what you do is not to save it on Wikipedia at all - use a text editor and save it offline. That said, Wikipedia thrives on collaboration, and there isn't really a good reason to hide what you're doing from other editors. Huon (talk) 21:58, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Do you think this picture is good to add to the route map of Algiers Metro?

:I'd be careful. That illustration may well meet the threshold of originality, which would make it subject to copyright and its use on Wikipedia a copyright violation. Furthermore, there's no need to use it; we have an elaborate system of templates that's capable of displaying far more complicated routes than that one - see Wikipedia:Route diagram template for details.

Hello,

I was creating new articles of Shenzhen Metro stations on Line 7 and noticed that Longjing Station is also one of the stations in Taiwan. I tried adding the link in the Template:S-line leading to the one in Shenzhen, but it kept leading me to the disambiguation page. Anyone know how to fix this? Here is the image below if you're still confused. Thanks!

:Thanks for mentioning this. It's actually an issue with the s-line subtemplates themselves. I'll dig into the code and see about fixing it. Primefac (talk) 15:47, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
