Why aren't the edits changing in the Station Statistics[edit]

There have been updates made to the station stats on this and many other pages. However the live feed is only publishing the numbers from 2019.

Move discussion in progress[edit]

Why isn't the 4 showing up[edit]

@Epicgenius: The 4 is not showing up in the infobox for stations by services. Do you know why? Thanks.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 13:46, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kew Gardens 613: It has been fixed. epicgenius (talk) 17:39, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NYC station plans[edit]

@Kew Gardens 613 and Epicgenius: It's unfortunately paywalled, but there's a 1908 article here about the station plans. I also have a copy (screenshot shared on social media) that I can email if needed. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:01, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pi.1415926535: Thanks for the tip. I have a subscription to the Times, and I think Kew Gardens 613 has one too, but thanks for the offer. epicgenius (talk) 21:02, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pi.1415926535: Thanks so much, but I have the Times as well. I have more stuff on the proposed station that I have never gotten around to adding to the article that I will add at some point.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 21:57, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in 149th Street–Grand Concourse station[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 149th Street–Grand Concourse station's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "HAER Designs":

From Early history of the IRT subway: Framberger, David J. (1978). "Architectural Designs for New York's First Subway" (PDF). Historic American Engineering Record. pp. 1–46 (PDF pp. 367–412).

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:54, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New name: 149th Street-Hostos station[edit]

The state legislature has just passed a bill renaming 149th Street-Grand Concourse to 149th Street-Hostos station due to the importance of the nearby Hostos Community College.

@Epicgenius: Do we have any secondary sources on this? Cards84664 01:08, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cards84664, the only thing I was able to find a month ago was https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/s8294/amendment/a (which is already in the article). There are no secondary sources yet and the station hasn't been formally rededicated. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:12, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
