[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Seibu Yamaguchi Line, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 00:58, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for your message. When editing pages I try to keep the style, layout, heading names, etc. the same as other Japanese railway articles to aid readability. The only thing I can see at a glance is that the Rolling Stock - Future section is verbose. If you can advise what the issues with the article are, or which sections of the Style Manual I'm not complying with, then I'm more than happy to fix the article and do the right thing for future edits.

- I hope you perused the Manual of Style – if not, it's linked above – as its contents might ring a bell. The article above isn't the only one where you've introduced styling issues. On numerous articles, you used title-case headings whereas convention is to use sentence-case, often on articles that already follow the latter convention. On Taisetsu, for example, you erroneously de-italicized "Taisetsu" in the infobox caption, despite it being WP:TRAINS convention to italicize named trains.

- Thanks for your reply. Despite what you have noticed, my intentions are to keep articles standardised and to follow the guidelines. I had previously looked up capitalisation of headings, and what I read advised use of title case. I must have read/interpreted the wrong guideline. I have recently came across articles with section headings having both sentence and title case. I will ensure I use the correct case from now on.
- I was aware of WikiProject Trains in Japan/Style but unaware of WP:TRAINS having its own style guide. Now I know it exists I can abide by it including italicising train names.
- I will go over my edits and correct any of these issues. Please let me know if you notice anything else. Travelweb.au (talk) 00:22, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
