Spacing fix for sortcategories.js
Your sortcategories.js is very useful but I wanted to ask whether there could be two fixes:
- When a {{DEFAULTSORT}} is detected, it should be placed directly above all categories without intermediate spacing. Currently, it produces a blank line in-between.
- When a stub-sorting template is detected, it should be placed below all categories with two blank lines between them (per WP:STUBSORT#General rules #3). Currently, it takes all existing spacing and moves it above the categories,
You can see both faults occur in this edit: The stub sort spacing is moved up and an additional spearating line is created after the DEFAULTSORT, resulting in three blank lines where there should be none. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 19:07, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- @IceWelder, thanks for the heads up. I'll see what I can do. The credit for the script idea really goes to @Alex 21; I only made a few minor adjustments. Nonetheless I'll look into this. – Epicgenius (talk) 19:50, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Turnstiles
It might be worth doing an article about turnstiles and the subway. There are tons of sources on this, including this --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:22, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Kew Gardens 613, I agree. It may be useful either on the New York City Subway stations page or in its own article, though it depends on how much of the turnstile info is unique to the NYC Subway. – Epicgenius (talk) 23:23, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Fearless Girl
There is a legal dispute that questions whether it was commissioned by State Street or not. That should be acknowledged in accordance with NPOV. Let's try to find a compromise wording. 2601:18A:C680:320:E085:B5BA:CB31:7F16 (talk) 22:30, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Your wording actually works fine for me - I only reverted the edit because the source was unreliable. I see you have tried to reinsert the text, but it seems someone else has reverted your edit again because it didn't have a source. Let me try to find a source that reflects the dispute. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:12, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
The artist raised complications to this understanding in the Public Design Commission hearing on Monday (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3pkQh9Q1Zk), which led the City to revisit fundamental questions around this. I think Wikipedia can acknowledge the dispute, and if it is resolved in the future, then the page should reflect language with only one point of view. 22:40, 13 April 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18A:C680:320:E085:B5BA:CB31:7F16 (talk)
