April fools, everyone...
[edit]I'd just like to let you know the only reason I vandalized that day was because it was April Fools Day. And I really don't understand how to do an unban request, so I guess I'm just an IP now... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.89.163.21 (talk) 23:45, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
Hey I'm sorry for vandalizing a page on April 1st, 2020. I thought a little April Fools Day joke would be funny and glossed over without realizing how (redacted) me vandalized a lot of stuff. I promise I will only use my account to edit pages without ruining them, and you can see that in my IP's edit history (this is my IP I'm using to edit with).
Have a great day, Declan128's IP.
Decline reason:
Please make this request while logged in so we know it's you. Please also read this guidance for young editors and do not reveal personal information about yourself. 331dot (talk) 10:07, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:
This unblock request has been declined due to your history of vandalism and/or disruption to this encyclopedia. However, we are willing to give you another chance provided that you can earn back the trust of the Wikipedia community. To be unblocked you need to demonstrate that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia. You can do this by:
- Familiarizing yourself with our basic rules.
- Read our guide to improving articles.
- Pick any pre-existing article you wish to improve.
- If you have trouble choosing an article to improve, see this index of articles needing improvement for ideas. Once you have decided on the article you will propose improvements to:
- Click the Edit tab at the top of that article;
- Copy the portion of the prose from that article that you will be proposing changes to. However:
- do not copy the "infobox" from the start of the article (i.e., markup like this:
{{infobox name|...}}
); - do not copy any image placement code (i.e., markup like this:
[[File:Name.jpg|thumb|caption]]
); - do not copy the page's categories from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this:
[[Category:Name]]
); - do not copy the stub tag (if there) from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this:
{{Foo stub}}
);
- do not copy the "infobox" from the start of the article (i.e., markup like this:
- Click edit at your talk page, and paste at the bottom under a new section header (like this:
== [[Article title]] ==
) the copied content but do not save yet; - Place your cursor in the edit summary box and paste there an edit summary in the following form which specifies the name of the article you copied from and links to it (this is required for mandatory copyright attribution): "
Copied content from [[exact Name of Article]]; see that article's history for attribution.
" - You can now save the page. However, if your edits will include citations to reliable sources (which they should), add the following template to the end of your prose:
{{reflist-talk}}
. Once you have added the template, click Publish changes.
- Now, edit that content. Propose significant and well researched improvements by editing the selected portion of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
- When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
- If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.
If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "
" to your talk page. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 18:13, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
What contributions do you wish to make if unblocked? 331dot (talk) 14:51, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Fixing pages I come across (e.g. if there's any grammar, punctuation, or factual errors), adding to pages with information that I'll cross reference with other (legitimate) sources before publishing, and adding pages on anything big enough to deserve on (e.g. An Interstate on the future interstate page begins construction and doesn't have a page, if there's enough info on the Interstate I'll make a page with the info from the future interstate page and any other sources (like the FHWA.)
- I am providing you with a process above through which you can demonstrate a substantive edit you would make to an article of your choosing. You are free to decline to make use of the process and make another unblock request where you attempt to convince another administrator to unblock you without doing so, but using it would help your chances. I don't believe it is hopeless that you will be unblocked, but you will need to show that doing so will benefit this project. 331dot (talk) 18:13, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Troy Avenue station
[edit]Troy Avenue was a station on the demolished BMT Fulton Street Line in Brooklyn, New York City. It had 2 tracks and 2 side platforms.[1] It was opened sometime during the middle of 1888, and served by trains of the BMT Fulton Street Line. Sometime between 1912 and 1924, the nearby Albany–Sumner Avenues station was closed[2][3] due to the Dual Contracts addition of a third track between Nostrand Avenue and Hinsdale Street. Commuters from that station were redirected here. It was served by BMT 13 trains throughout its existence.
The next stop to the west was originally Albany-Sumner Avenues, and then replaced by Tompkins Avenue between 1912 and 1924. In 1936, the Independent Subway System built their own Fulton Street subway but did not install a subway station at Troy Avenue. The nearest subway stations to replace the el station were Utica Avenue to the east and Kingston and Throop Avenues to the west.[4][5] The el station became obsolete, and it closed on May 31, 1940.[6]
