List of Muni Metro stations[edit]

My first FL nomination or maybe in a featured process of any sort. This is a continuation of the trend of bringing San Francisco Bay Area rail station lists here for FL consideration. —kurykh 08:24, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Chrishomingtang

I helped write this list and am satisfy with it, but I still have some comments.

  • 9 subway stations -> nine subway stations
  • The opening year of Balboa Park Station needs a ref
    • Done. Should the refs be shortened somehow? —kurykh 01:47, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Consider adding more info about stations to the lead (eg. ridership in stations)
    • I have looked far and wide, and this information isn't even available. There is ridership per line, but not per station. I will keep looking though. —kurykh 06:27, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is more helpful to order the metro lines based on years open rather than alphabetically. And add a note to explain this similar to List of Bay Area Rapid Transit stations. (just ignore the first part if lines are already ordered based on years open)
    • The problem is that unlike many other systems, Muni Metro line names have remained constant for the past century or so. The other articles seemed to have it sorted by years because of their names changing after every extension. Many descriptions regarding Muni Metro, formal or not, are done alphabetically, and it would be strange to do otherwise. —kurykh 06:27, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments - boy oh boy I love metro stuff. So, some comments, from overcast Cusco...
    • Any reason that the Castro line is excluded from the map?
      • The official Muni Metro map that the list's map is based off of does not have the S Castro Shuttle line on it. —kurykh 06:51, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • ¨...stops that consist from a traffic island or a sign painted on a telephone pole..." doesn´t read well to me..
    • BART should be explained before being used as an acronym.
    • Why is Castro stuff in italics?
      • Because the Castro line is a line with limited service.—Chris! ct 21:14, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • No need to superinflate the image sizes of the stations - i think you´re forcing the image sizes to 270px, no need.
      • Fixed by Chrishomingtang. —kurykh 06:53, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Surface stations Platform col does not sort correctly.
      • Fixed by Chrishomingtang. —kurykh 06:53, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good work, not too far off I reckon. The Rambling Man on tour (talk) 20:44, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support my concerns addressed, good work. The Rambling Man on tour (talk) 16:45, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Wow, Rambling man basically read the review in my mind :P. I have the same concerns raised by TRM, I can support once those are done because this is excellent, but those few problems.--TRUCO 22:49, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)

  • "Muni Metro is a light rail system serving San Francisco, California"-->Muni Metro is a light rail system that serves San Francisco, California.
  • "Muni Metro serves 173,000 passengers a day, making it the second busiest in the United States" Secpnd-busiest what?
  • "The system consists of nine subway stations, 24 surface stations" Comparable quantities should be written the same way. Either make them both numerals or both written out.
  • "Four of the stations"
  • The backgrounds should not cover the whole row, only the "Station" column. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:08, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Um, other similar FLs have backgrounds covering the entire row. Leaving this the exception would be strange. —kurykh 19:40, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:33, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • On several refs, you spell out abbreviations, which is good, but you never actually use the abbreviations by themselves. I think that those parenthetical abbrevations should be removed.
  • Refs 1, 8 and 15 need format=PDF added to them.
  • What makes http://world.nycsubway.org/us/sf/muni-streetcar.html a reliable source?
    • Removed; other sources suffice. —kurykh 19:40, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
