|text = On 2 April 2021 ↗, '''Did you know ↗''' was updated with a fact from the article '''''Accessibility of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority ↗''''', which you recently nominated. The fact was ''... that '''only about a quarter of New York City's 472 subway stations had elevators ↗''' in 2018, among the lowest accessibility rates of the world's major transit systems?'' The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Accessibility of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority ↗. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page <small>(here's how, [//pageviews.toolforge.org/?start=2021-03-23&end=2021-04-12&project=en.wikipedia.org&pages=Accessibility_of_the_Metropolitan_Transportation_Authority Accessibility of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority])</small>, and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page ↗.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello! Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to New York City Subway rolling stock ↗! However, adding a bare URL ↗ is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot ↗. It is preferable to use proper citation templates ↗ when citing sources ↗, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation ↗. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{tl|cite web}} template to cite a web page:
: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.</syntaxhighlight>
which displays ''inline ↗'' in the running text of the article as:
:Lorem ipsum{{fake ref|1}} dolor sit amet.
and displays under '''References''' as:
#^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac ↗". ''Ask a Question''. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.
If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations: try the Citer tool ↗, or in the wikitext editor ↗, try the reFill tool ↗, and in the Visual Editor ↗, the reference dialog ↗ can convert some bare urls into a full citation.
Once again, thanks for adding references to articles. <!-- Template:Uw-bareurl --> <span class="nowrap"><span style="color: RebeccaPurple">Danners430</span> <sub>tweaks made ↗</sub></span> 07:03, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
"i still don't know why this page in particular is extremely enforced"
I assume you're referring to my reversions of unsourced changes - the policy being applied is universal across Wikipedia, that being WP:V ↗ - additions or changes must be sourced with reliable sources. Why am I reverting that page? Because it shows up on my watchlist, that's it. I don't remember why it ended up on my watchlist, but it's there. That same standard of sourcing should (indeed must) be applied to all Wikipedia articles - it shouldn't be that sources are being added only because I'm reverting unsourced edits... it's policy that the sources are added. <span class="nowrap"><span style="color: RebeccaPurple">Danners430</span> <sub>tweaks made ↗</sub></span> 09:52, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
