You appear to be doing the exact same thing as what unfortunately got you blocked a couple of years ago. Please don’t let that happen again.

First, you’re providing no source for the route moving from year round to seasonal; second, you’re not giving or updating a source for the statistics updates. A source dated the beginning of March 2026 can’t verify the entirety of March. <span class="nowrap"><span style="color: RebeccaPurple">Danners430</span> <sub>tweaks made ↗</sub></span> 02:26, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

:The route is not mine, please look at the edits before getting mad. The revert is solely about my edit on the numbers which I am not going to rewrite because someone else did something unsourced. OrangeRye (talk) 17:52, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::It doesn’t matter if the route edit is yours or not - you are restoring the change, which is unsourced, so that means you take responsibility for it. I have no issue whatsoever with the stats update, now you’ve provided (or rather updated) a source - but you cannot be moving routes about without a source that verifies the change in status. As such:
::25px|alt=Warning icon ↗ Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced ↗ content, you may be blocked from editing ↗. <!-- Template:uw-unsourced3 --> <span class="nowrap"><span style="color: RebeccaPurple">Danners430</span> <sub>tweaks made ↗</sub></span> 17:57, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::By the way, it’s really easy to partially restore an edit - I just can’t right now because I’m on mobile making dinner. If you open the diff, copy the section you want to restore, in this case the stats, and you can paste that into the article without also restoring the unsourced route change <span class="nowrap"><span style="color: RebeccaPurple">Danners430</span> <sub>tweaks made ↗</sub></span> 18:05, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
:::If you can hang on for a couple of hours, I’ll be more than happy to restore the stats once I’m back at a keyboard. <span class="nowrap"><span style="color: RebeccaPurple">Danners430</span> <sub>tweaks made ↗</sub></span> 18:09, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
:Well, I'm back at my computer but the page is protected so I'm unable to restore the stats. I've sent a message to the protecting admin.
:The reason this all came about is because I reverted multiple edits - your stats edit, because it originally was unsourced (before you updated the access date), and the movement of the route by another editor because it was also unsourced. The former you sorted, but the latter is still unsourced... so if it's going to be restored, only the stats can be. But until the protection is lifted, that's a moot point... <span class="nowrap"><span style="color: RebeccaPurple">Danners430</span> <sub>tweaks made ↗</sub></span> 21:14, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::saying something is unsourced because I forgot to change the access date, which i obviously accessed it then, is you being purposefully dense. OrangeRye (talk) 22:34, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
:::You can consider this your only warning about personal attacks ↗.
:::I'm not a mind reader - I don't know where you got figures... and updating sources is a normal part of making edits, if you're using an existing source. It's not anything special - it's standard verifiability ↗. <span class="nowrap"><span style="color: RebeccaPurple">Danners430</span> <sub>tweaks made ↗</sub></span> 22:36, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::It is also really easy for you to just remove the unsourced route rather than delete everything but a bunch of people like you on Wikipedia just get off on correcting everyone and not actually doing what is better for the article. As for me not changing the sate initially, does that really change anything, couldn't you have just changed the access date if it really bothered you? But you'd rather just delete a change which actually updates and improves the article. OrangeRye (talk) 22:39, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
:::Again - I'm not a mind reader... how exactly am I (or indeed anyone else for that matter) meant to know that's the source you used? You made an update and didn't add, remove or alter any sources... that's the definition of an unsourced change. Sorry you don't agree, but that's fact. That's why it and the other change was reverted. When you restored the content, you also restored the other, unrelated unsourced change, which is why it was reverted again. When you restore an unsourced change, you take responsibility for it... and you did. <span class="nowrap"><span style="color: RebeccaPurple">Danners430</span> <sub>tweaks made ↗</sub></span> 22:42, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::Or just tell me I forgot to change the access date in my talk page, many options. OrangeRye (talk) 22:41, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
:::For the third time... I'm not a mind reader. You and you alone know the source that you used. <span class="nowrap"><span style="color: RebeccaPurple">Danners430</span> <sub>tweaks made ↗</sub></span> 22:42, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
