Image requested[edit]

Hello Epicgenius, you requested a photo for this article. I want help but English my second language. What you mean with "photos of the streetcar operations"? Can you write simple and clear, please?

Note: There are 9 files on Commons. --Drabdullayev17 (talk) 08:21, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Drabdullayev17: I was requesting any historical pictures of the streetcars that used to run along the modern Q65 route. However, since Commons only accepts pictures that exist under a free license, I wondered if anyone had uploaded a freely-licensed image of the former streetcars. The Commons pictures are all about the buses. epicgenius (talk) 13:28, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Opening for consideration. Courcelles (talk) 19:07, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"at the edge of the Long Island Sound.[6] The line served the College Point Ferry or 99th Street Ferry, which ran to East 99th Street in the Upper East Side of Manhattan.[1][15]" Sure about that being the Sound, and not the East River?
"The routes proceed south to Jamaica Avenue, then west to Sutphin Boulevard, terminating at Supthin Boulevard and 94th Avenue underneath the Jamaica terminal for the LIRR and AirTrain JFK.[4][16][17][18][19][20]" How many of the six citations do we really need? Either space them out or cut them down.
Explain who Robert Moses was, i.e., his title in the LaGuardia administration -- did he even have one?
According to our own article, La Guardia is misspelled? I didn't know this either.
"moved from 160th Street and Jamaica Avenue to Parsons Boulevard and Jamaica Avenue.[34]" Stupid question time, did this make the route longer or shorter? (I.e. specify either shortened or extended.
refs 1 and 14; archive.org is not a print publication, so no italics.
Whereas refs 21 and 24, the NYT is a print publication, so italics...
Images are fine.

That's all I've got. Courcelles (talk) 19:24, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Courcelles: Thank you for the review. I have fixed all the issues you mentioned. By the way, Sutphin was misspelled, and Parsons Blvd is one block west of 160th Street. epicgenius (talk) 01:04, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, promoting. Courcelles (talk) 13:14, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
