C class[edit]

I think this article satisfies requirements of C-class articles:

The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains a lot of irrelevant material. The article should have references to reliable sources, but may still have significant issues or require substantial cleanup.

The only problem here is to provide more inline citations from the sources listed in the bibliography --Ita140188 (talk) 12:50, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your assessment. The article does not have many inline citations at the moment because it is translated from its Italian equivalent, which, like a lot of articles in Italian Wikipedia, does not have many such citations. That's a problem I encounter with most articles I translate, including from other Wikipedias (eg German, French). I understand that the general attitude of English Wikipedia editors to the problem is that it is better to translate an article without inline citations than it is to have no article in English Wikipedia - such translations help to spread knowledge across language boundaries, which is an important aim of Wikipedia as a whole. If, however, you are in a position to add inline citations to the article, please go ahead and do so - I don't have access to any of the printed sources used for the Italian Wikipedia article.

Tram depots - possible corrections[edit]

I tried to find the tram depots quoted in this article on Google maps, and as a result, the following corrections may be required... 1) The depot located at "Via Leoncavallo" - this should read "Via Ruggero Leoncavallo", 2) The depot located at "P. Custodi" - this should read "Pietro Custodi". Is "P." a universal abbreviation for Pietro??? 3) The address of the inter-urban depot at Varedo should be "Corso Milano", 4) Similarly, address of the inter-urban depot at Desio should be "Corso Italia". Could someone check, as I am placing a lot of reliance on Google Maps.

Società Trazione Elettrica Lombarda[edit]

Some mention should be made of this company that operated interurban lines wich run to the center of Milaan. There is an Italian article and map:Smiley.toerist (talk) 09:36, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

System length[edit]

[1] is stating 171,5 km with remark "Somma delle lunghezze in asse di esercizio delle singole linee.". Anybody can translate? --Jklamo (talk) 01:46, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm Italian, but I don't know what this means. According to Google, the expression "asse di esercizio" is only used by ATM: [2] --Ita140188 (talk) 03:09, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Line 4[edit]

This may not be notable enough for inclusion in the article, but it's clear that Line 4 used to run much further north than its present terminus at Niguarda Parco Nord. If anyone can shed some light on how far it used to run, when and why it was cut back, I for one would be most grateful. 86.158.162.225 (talk) 19:31, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
