Opting in to VisualEditor[edit]

As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit ^beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, "MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:24, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

R211[edit]

Please provide an actual link to a source for the statement, "In the MTA's 20 Year Capital Assesment it mentioned the possibility that the R211 will feature open gangways, which will allow passengers to seamlessly walk throughout the train." on the R211 (New York City Subway car) article. Simply saying where it is found is technically not enough. Thank you. Mysteryman557 (talk) 00:54, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hillside vs. Woodhull Park/Rockaway Junction stations[edit]

Evidently, Rockaway Junction (LIRR station) was two blocks east of Hillside (LIRR station), if you look at some of the evidence. Some of the references also show Hillside as being listed as far back as 1909, which you've already mentioned. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 05:05, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Holidays[edit]

Happy holidays and happy new year to my Editing Wikipedia "WikiProject New York City Public Transportation", editing coleuge(I have trouble speeling this word, it means two people who work at the same place.). From, very friendly, Doorknob747 00:56, 17 December 2014 (UTC) here is a gift of something rarely seen: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_interior_of_a_busy,_R160B_R_train.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doorknob747 (talk • contribs) 23:25, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Jerome Avenue Stations, etc.[edit]

Hi. While I appreciate your edits to create these templates, I don't really think it is necessary. All the stations are linked from IRT Jerome Avenue Line, so we really don't need navboxes for every single station. It creates more workload for the Wikipedia servers. Maybe we can create a template for all New York City Subway stations, and have an option to display only one or two lines instead, like this: {{NYCS stations|Jerome=yes}} to display Jerome Avenue stations, etc.

Please also don't remove the category. The category is for internal purposes, and groups the stations by NYCS division, opening date, location, etc.

Thanks. Epicgenius (talk) 22:03, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind at all. I have no problem with making templates for everything New York City Subway-related. I think he should go ahead and continue to do so. I think they're great. JoesphBarbaro (talk) 23:32, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kind of unrelated, but {{NYCS stations navbox}} now exists. Epic Genius (talk) 01:55, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Your Comment[edit]

I agree with the 57 Street (Q) reroute editing, and realize that was a mistake. But there was no need to delete my Broad Street information and the SAS 116 and 106 and 125 Street information. The original IRT Second Ave line had demolished stations that are on wiki, so why can't 125, 116 and 106 be there as well? Broad Street also needed information from the old (M) and (R), so why remove that as we'll? I don't mean to sound mean, but you just deleted everything I made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AahdTahar (talk • contribs) 04:43, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, then if you are doing the Broad St editing you will need to do that for every subway wikipedia page, which you are not doing. In addition, the 125, 116, and 106 are only proposed while the abandoned station exists. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 13:29, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And this is the exact reason why nobody can learn anything on the subway, of you want me to do that of every single station, then fine, I'll do it, but please don't delete it if you only see it on one page, I will continue on doing the rest. And about the SAS, did you not see that I clearly expressed the word "under planning"? And there is already a lot of proof of those stations existing, plus I included the fact of the failed SAS tunnels, and that's all I need to make the article according to Wikipedia guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.232.165.43 (talk) 15:41, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

May I edit the 6 Train Page[edit]

Since you know a lot on the system, may I please update the 6 train page with the fleet swap article? Thank you. AahdTahar (talk) 21:52, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for notifying me, but the subway service pages are for the service's routing, not for what cars operated on the service. It would take a lot of work, but this would need to be written on the subway car pages, but this is already written. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 00:49, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A train article[edit]

I'm asking for your help and support, because the guy just won't stop. The page really has to be protected. JoesphBarbaro (talk) 00:34, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained blanking.[edit]

I am here to tell u about a unexplained blanking that you have done on the columbus circle subway stop. Please comment before blanking, not doing this repeatedly may lead to a need to call a admin, to report vandalism.Doorknob747 (talk) 22:57, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is one incident with no evidence. It is badly written, and there are many minor incidents that happen in subway stations every day, and those don't belong on wikipedia pages unless they are major incidents, and this is clearly not major as it isn't mentioned anywhere, I am sorry if I didn't explain it.

Deletion discussion about Humboldt Street (LIRR station)[edit]

Hello, Kew Gardens 613,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Humboldt Street (LIRR station) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Humboldt Street (LIRR station) .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

The LIRR Today[edit]

I removed them because the website leads to a Google Login page. The link is considered to be dead, because when I sign in to Google, it says, This blog is open to invited readers only

It doesn't look like you have been invited to read this blog. If you think this is a mistake, you might want to contact the blog author and request an invitation. This link, thus, leads to a dead end and has no info. Epic Genius (talk) 16:27, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was invited, but I have two separate email accounts, one in which I was invited and one in which I wasn't. For some reason I still get in when I am using the one I wasn't invited from, which made me lead to believe that the author of the website opened it up to more than just people invited. Have you tried the link? Even when I am not logged in to an email it still works, with the link. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:33, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I restarted my computer and I tried it with another account, and it didn't work. Something weird was happening with my computer. Sorry about that.Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:43, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was not given any invitation. However, I often commented on the website, so I should have gotten invited. Epic Genius (talk) 17:25, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I asked him on subchat, his username is lirr42, he is also on nyctf. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 17:42, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For some weird reason, I can't access NYCTF. Error message there, too. Also, I'm not a member of SubChat. Epic Genius (talk) 18:15, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by an error message on NYCTF? You can easily become a member of subchat. However, you are more likely to get access via NYCTF. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:55, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I had an account, but when I try to access NYCTF, it now displays an error message, saying "SORRY, BUT THE PAGE YOU REQUESTED WAS NOT FOUND. It seems that the page you were trying to reach doesn't exist anymore, never existed, or may it has just moved. Use the links in the navigation bar to get out of this page." My proxy is blocked. However, I'll take up your suggestion and register for SubChat. Epic Genius (talk) 01:30, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

98.113.182.220[edit]

Keep both him and the A train article on your watchlist, just in case he continues reverting the Broad Channel image. JoesphBarbaro (talk) 23:50, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Kew Gardens, I suggest that while you should keep the A train article in good shape, you should probably not edit war over the image, either. This seems to be a content dispute, so maybe you should discuss it on the talk page of the article. Epic Genius (talk) 17:34, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: I hated how I got blocked for editing warring, harrasssment, and personal attacks, and also how I got called out for socking, but yet, that IP address that keeps on edit warring with me on the A train article never got blocked for editing warring and socking. This is totally frustrating and I will not put up with this anymore! Either the staff does something to get rid of him or I will do something to get rid of him myself, seriously and strictly speaking. I've already explain why I reverted the dude and yet he just wants to be annoying as hell! This will stop! JoesphBarbaro (talk) 11:28, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@JoesphBarbaro: You can report him at WP:AN3 if he keeps edit warring, though. If you already tried to discuss with the IP user, yet the user made 4 reverts on the page in a day, he can be blocked. Epic Genius (talk) 15:52, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Did you know nominations/Staten Island Tunnel[edit]

Hi Kew Gardens, I've nominated the tunnel article for inclusion on the Main Page, if you're interested. Epic Genius (talk) 23:37, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am interested. Thanks! Thanks for reorganizing the page. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 23:45, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The revert on the 4 train article[edit]

Union Tpke aka Kew Gardens 613, I reverted you because of the reasons that I've already explain to Philroc. How does it make sense to have a map template for any of the New York City Subway articles when we already have a full list of stations as they are? The map templates belong to the New York City Subway line articles, not the New York City Subway service articles. The 4 is a service, not a line. We don't need to go into any detail about the changes on the lines themselves, because they don't have an impact on any of the services that run on the aforementioned lines. Do you understand or do I need to make myself more clearer? JoesphBarbaro (talk) 21:57, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Staten Island Tunnel[edit]

On 29 July 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Staten Island Tunnel, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that at 10,400 feet (3,200 m), the Staten Island Tunnel would have been the world's longest tunnel, but it was abandoned after only 150 feet (46 m) of it had been built? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Staten Island Tunnel. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Just 2 questions about NYCTF and that's it[edit]

Just want to ask 2 things about NYCTF and that's it:

1. How many more people upvoted that Fresh Pond nigga's post at the R32 M train thread? That snide comment of his?

2. What's currently happening at the R32 M thread? Everything became okay or are they (you youself included) still mad at me for pissing on the campfire? JoesphBarbaro (talk) 22:36, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't been mad at you at all for anything you have done. Other people are mad because they get really irritated at your comments. I upvote both you and Fresh Pond, because both of you have a valid reason to be mad. --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:47, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Did Fresh Pond said anything else to me afterwards? I haven't been able to log onto NYCTF due to ongoing connection problems, but I'll manage the issue on my own. JoesphBarbaro (talk) 14:53, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fresh Pond said this: "And you mean to tell me this doesn't come off as being an a-hole?

You could've easily ignored the entire thread from the jump... " --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:19, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As soon as I get my connection problems solved, I'll return to the forums and start posting occasionally from then on. I might also consider in attacking that Fresh Pond nigga for being a prettyboy/Mr. Popular Pants too. I'll see you around. JoesphBarbaro (talk) 22:58, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Staten Island Railway[edit]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Staten Island Railway you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Epicgenius -- Epicgenius (talk) 15:20, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've started reviewing the article now. Please see Talk:Staten Island Railway/GA1. Epic Genius (talk) 01:28, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Staten Island Railway[edit]

The article Staten Island Railway you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Staten Island Railway for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. Epic Genius (talk) 16:42, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for helping! I appreciate it. --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:22, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, what would it take to have the article become A class? --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:27, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Kew Gardens 613: According to this, For WikiProjects without a formal A-Class review process, the proposal to promote to A-Class should be made on the article's talk page. To be granted, the proposal should be supported by two uninvolved editors, with no significant opposes. The review should also be noted on the project's discussion page. So open up a discussion at Talk:Staten Island Railway and then ask for consensus. You may also want to notify WP:NYCPT.

(Also, in case you're wondering, it may need a little more work to promote to FA-class. By "little" I mean a little more than a little.) Epic Genius (talk) 19:54, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Staten Island Railway[edit]

Hi Kew Gardens, have you given thought to my suggestions at the reassessment page? I'm looking for more concision in the prose, with some thought given to making choices about which are the more important facts about the history to present. Because the article is so long it would probably take a lot of time to improve it all, and the DYK people are getting antsy about the nomination staying open there.

My suggestion is that if you want to keep GA now I think it would be better to split off most of the History section into its own article and then focus on a shorter History section here, covering the most important aspects of its history. Otherwise, I think it would be better to close the GA assessment for now so that you can take your time improving the prose. As I said, I think the Guild of Copy Editors would be helpful here. Let me know what you want to do. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 19:45, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I made a separate page, but I need help fining out what is most important. Thanks, and sorry for the delay.

--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 21:16, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, making decisions about what's most important is one of the hardest and most important parts of good writing! A good goal would be to try to condense each subsection into one, maybe two paragraphs. I condensed the "Predecessor" subsection as an example. Good things to keep are major changes to the railroad and its operation, and interesting facts. For example, the fact that the railroad went bankrupt and changed ownership because one of the ferries blew up is a major change, and the fact that some stations are named after farms and people who invested in the railroad is interesting. Things like the names of the locomotives and all the ferry companies acquired by the railroad, or a story about a potential foreclosure on the locomotives that didn't end up actually happening, don't need to be here. Readers can still learn about these at the separate article if they want, but only the most important facts go here. Hopefully this example helps.

Bombardier's financial crisis continues[edit]

Well, Mr. Kew Gardens 613

Since you love the R32's and R42's very much, you will see them in service for many more years to come. Here's the scoop from Marketwatch dated December 22, 2015 about Bombardier's money woes. I guess Bombardier owes their creditors and vendors an awful lot of money. I reviewed their annual balance sheet and it does NOT look good at all (HUGE LOSSES in the billions).

Sorry to have to report this, and will keep you informed on future developments on this matter, but Happy Holidays anyway.

Sincerely, Joe jlee39@verizon.net

A recent Reuters report said Bombardier is exploring the sale of any of its other business units, as well as a potential investments from private-equity firms, hedge funds or other foreign governments, something Scotiabank (Bombardier's creditor) analyst Turan Quettawala said might be necessary.

Bombardier has announced that it will spin off its train-making unit through an initial public offering next year, but the analyst said the accretion from this “is not likely to be that material.”

In addition, it is unlikely to resolve Bombardier’s balance-sheet cash-flow crunch and will negatively impact the company’s access to debt markets.

“As such, we don’t see this as the right course of action,” Quettawala said, because Bombardier will run out of cash by mid-2016.

If we read and comprehend this article correctly, it may appear that no new R179 subway cars will be produced by Bombardier until a buyer is found, and the new buyer and owner will possibly build and produce these new R179 subway cars, and agree with all terms of the contract set forth by the MTA.

Excitable user who works on subway articles[edit]

Regarding the 3RR report at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive303#User:TheManchoMan reported by User:100.12.206.17 (Result: Blocked). Recently you left a notice on an IP talk. This seems to be an alternate account of User:TheManchoMan. Do you have any ideas of what to do? He seems to be an endless fount of personal attacks. If there is no hope of reasoning with him, an indefinite block might be considered. I am not sure whether his edits are useful. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 03:55, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

His edits aren't useful and other editors including Vcohen, who along with me works on the transit pages, don't agree with his edits. I think that he has good intentions, but he doesn't communicate with the rest of the community and gets angry when there work is changed. I have a feeling that that might need to be done. Thanks. --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 15:23, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

how come you are not deleting the b and l train images but only the 4 train image you stubborn person — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheManchoMan (talk • contribs) 20:22, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just did, and I would have done so sooner, if I had noticed. Thanks for pointing it out. --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 20:25, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

cut it out now this instance i explain to vochen why so quit it now this instance— Preceding unsigned comment added by TheManchoMan (talk • contribs) 20:22, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

are you blind? you can't tell the difference between an r142 and r142a and an r68 and r68a and an r143 and an r160? plus the 4 is mostly r142s, the b is mostly r68as and the l is mostly r143s so quit it — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheManchoMan (talk • contribs) 20:28, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can tell the difference, and you don't need to include both in the article. --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 20:30, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

why not? r142as are regularly assigned to the 4, r160s are regularly assigned to the l and r68s are regularly assigned to the b so stop being stubborn and give me a good explanation like i have — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheManchoMan (talk • contribs) 20:34, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While you are at it go do the 7, A, J, and a lot of other services. It is truly not needed. Also, sign your posts.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 20:37, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

wow just wow you clearly are stubborn and you have never even bother to give me a logical reason all you did was dismissed me you are very stubborn that's what i don't like about you kew gardens — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheManchoMan (talk • contribs) 20:39, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

the 4, b and l lines have two car types assigned to them whereas the 7, a and 2 lines only have one car type assigned so quit being stubborn and give me a logical reason like i have

being dismissive and reverting ain't gonna solve it

7 – R188 & R62A A – 1 SET R32, R68A, R46 I didn't mention the 2 I mentioned the J – R32 & R160A --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 20:44, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

as long as those car types are assigned to those lines they're still assigned and should always be included with the primary car type assignments, once again you are still being stubborn and not giving me a logical reason other than dismissing me and reverting me simply because you think it's pointless you sound pretty arrogant saying that — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheManchoMan (talk • contribs) 20:48, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

like i said before, as long as they are regularly assigned there it's still assigned and should not be reverted so quit your stubbornness and listen to reason and learn how to be logical about it — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheManchoMan (talk • contribs) 20:51, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

you see what i mean about my description of you kew gardens?

Your work is unnecessary and other editors that have worked on NYC Subway articles disagree with you. --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 21:13, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

wow just wow i knew you are completely stubborn and arrogant and don't give any logical reason as to why they should be reverted other than just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheManchoMan (talk • contribs) 21:15, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How am I arrogant? If your edits were useful I would be thanking you for them, but these edits are not. Can we both stop talking about it and ask other editors whether they prefer the articles before you edited them. I am fine with the edits if there is a consensus that they should be done. I am sorry that you are being offended. It is great to have another editor adding stuff to wikipedia. I know that you are a new user, so this is fine. I made some edits that other people didn't like concerning the NYC subway, when I first came on as well. --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 21:18, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

because of all the reasons i've stated above, you need to stop being so dismissive towards me and stop saying my edits are all useless, that's being dismissive TheManchoMan (talk) 21:22, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

just because you don't agree with me doesn't mean my edits are useless nor are they wrong either, reverting people is not based on personal disagreements TheManchoMan (talk) 21:23, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

besides if my edits are useless then how come i went out of my way and try to explain to you then? you just keep saying they are wrong because you don't like them, that's being dismissive and that's not the way to be logical about it. TheManchoMan (talk) 21:26, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:TheManchoMan, you need to convince others that your edits are a net improvement. We may be a 'free encyclopeda' but not all changes that people submit are accepted.

Message from JoesphBarbaro[edit]

Hey Kew Gardens, I received a message from JoesphBarbaro on Wikimedia Commons today. It regards something on NYC Transit forums. It reads in part:

Also, I need to ask if you can please tell Kew Gardens aka Union Tpke to come here so that he and I can contact one another. Or you can please tell him to contact me at "Your MTA Wiki". I'm known as RollOver at both NYCT Forums and Your MTA Wiki. I really got to inform Kew Gardens aka Union Tpke about some member on NYCTF that repeatedly keeps downvoting his and my posts for literally no reason, so I wonder if he can send that person a private message and telling that person to knock it off.

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Kew Gardens 613, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to History of the Long Island Rail Road has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 02:41, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response. I thought that I had paraphrased enough but apparently I did not. It is a learning process. You have blocked revisions with the copy vio information. I would like to incorporate this information in the text, so could I be able to see the last revision prior to your removal of content so I can rewrite the material. I am not mad that you are doing this as this is teaching me how to become a better editor. Any suggestions would be very appreciated. Thanks. --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 17:23, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can send it to you via email, but please don't post it on-wiki, not even in a sandbox. I do realize this will make it more difficult to assess what was removed and how to fix it; sorry about that. Email will be sent momentarily. — Diannaa (talk) 22:12, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

R (New York City Subway service)`[edit]

Why do we need all that info about why the R won't be extended further into Manhattan or Queens? or that it no longer needs to skip 53rd and 45th Streets? or how much it costs? or the 4th Avenue relay impact? When the J was extended to Broad Street in 2015 or the weekend M to Essex Street in 2014, we just simply said they were being extended and why. I didn't see anything saying why can't the J go into Brooklyn or the M to Chambers, how much these extensions cost, or how it impacts other services. Also, the R extension will not happen until this Fall and some things can change along the way that can impact it, so I feel it it is too soon to mention so much detail since they can change frequently. Maybe it will extend to Midtown or Queens, maybe it will not happen at all.

First of all, you should sign your posts. Second of all, the fact that it is now stopping at some stations is important. How much it costs could be taken out.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 00:23, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How do you sign posts? Okay, the 45th and 53rd Street stops should be mentioned, but I don't see the need to mention why the R will not be extended to Queens or Manhattan. There have been many other proposals to extend other subway services in the past, but I do not see them being mentioned anywhere in the articles. I only see information on changes that actually occurred. Same with what you just put for the W.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/? On the 2 and 5 articles, a proposed swap in 2000 is mentioned in those articles. --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 00:28, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I only see it on the 5 train article and i think it should be removed since it never happened. There are just way too many proposed changes that never occurred and it is impossible to put them all here. 67.84.106.240 (talk) 00:33, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have no great interest in the question, being a mere Wikipedia:Talk page stalker of this user who has done notably good things in the past. Anyway this is not the right place to discuss the article. It has its own talk page at Talk:R (New York City Subway service) and that's the place to ask questions so more interested editors can see clarify anything relevant. Incidentally, an hour from now I shall probably be on an R train, but still am not interested in possible extensions of its run. Jim.henderson (talk) 13:28, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dealing with conflict of interest edits on Wikipedia[edit]

Hey Kew Gardens. I noticed you reverted edits by Rethinkstudio (talk · contribs) because they were promotional edits for ReThink NYC proposals. I thank you for doing this, but there are two things. First, it would be helpful to explain this WP:COI policy to the user so they know about it, and then, if there are reliable sources (like Alansohn found for the Port Morris, Bronx and Sunnyside Yard/Sunnyside (LIRR station) articles), you can re-add this info to the articles. You didn't do anything wrong, I just wanted to let you know about this. Thanks, epicgenius (talk) 23:07, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edits on the MARC Train page[edit]

Hello Kew Gardens. Thanks for contributing the Marc train article and adding new information. You added that he Marc HHP8s will be staying in service, and will be maintained by Amtrak. Do you have a source for this? If so, I could post it for you. Otherwise, you could get in trouble for posting false information. Please get back to me ASAP. Cheers, JSACELA (talk) 11:59, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did not add any information. I just added a space to make it grammatical. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MARC_Train&type=revision&diff=732139044&oldid=732128866 I have nothing to do with the addition of the information and I have no clue if it is factual. I was just adding a space between a comma and the word "staying". I am sorry for all of the confusion.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:15, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Kew Gardens, I hope everything is well. I am writing an article about the 23rd Street Crosstown Line.

W Train and Trip Planner[edit]

I got the schedule using Trip Planner's "Service in the Area" function.

How to use it: On the mta.info front page, in the Trip Planner box, click 'Service in the Area', enter a location, date and time and it'll show you the full schedules for all routes near that location at that date and time. (Or instead of going to the MTA's homepage you can go to http://tripplanner.mta.info/MyTrip/ui_web/serviceinthearea/default.aspx and enter in the information there.)

OR you can get to a schedule directly by placing in the URL and editing the input date, route, and direction. For example:

http://tripplanner.mta.info/MyTrip/ui_web/serviceinthearea/Timetable.aspx?operator=SUB&route=W&inputDate=11/07/16&direction=S&type=W Route: W train, Date: 11/07/2016, Direction: Southbound

http://tripplanner.mta.info/MyTrip/ui_web/serviceinthearea/Timetable.aspx?operator=SUB&route=E&inputDate=10/31/16&direction=N&type=W Route, E train, Date: 10/31/2016, Direction: Northbound

While I'm at it, here's another cool Trip Planner fucntion. "Point-to-Point schedule".

Available at http://tripplanner.mta.info/mytrip/ui_web/point2point/default.aspx, you enter in an origin and a destination, and it shows you all the options to get between those points, and displays them together. For example, if you set up a trip from Kew Gardens to Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue, you can select the E and F as options and it will display the schedules of both routes combined. It's pretty cool.

Early history of the IRT subway[edit]

I was on this page a short time ago, reformatting some old style references and consolidating some duplicates. I noticed that you've done some good work on the page (and on many others about the N.Y.C. subways). But there's one reference (#9) that's you added recently and is undefined, and I couldn't figure out even though I went through a bunch of New York Times articles from around that date (that's where I expected it to find the info) and looked through the page history carefully. Since you added the info and the reference not too long ago, I'm hoping that you can remember or figure it out, and fill in the reference. Thanks.

Bergen[edit]

Hi there,

Just noticed you nominated Bergen Street (IND Culver Line) for GA. I've never edited any subway/station article, so I'm not going to review it, but I'm there pretty regularly if you want any pictures (same goes for other F stations on the between South Brooklynish and Manhattan). FYI. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 00:54, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adding pictures would be great! Thank you so much.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 00:57, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I sort of meant if there's anything in particular you think would be helpful. :) In general it's not something I would think of. Well, it wasn't anyway. I happen to have my camera when I got off there a couple days ago and took a couple, but it was busy so I was sort of restricted to the poorly maintained end. I don't think any of them are necessary for the article, but maybe I'll think to take others as I hop around. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 00:21, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing, the MTA service advisory board for May 22 [9], which is the date the Manhattan-bound Culver Line stations are supposed to close and the Sea Beach stations reopen, doesn't mention the former and the latter still says " until Spring 2017," so shouldn't we wait until a new reopening/closing dates have been confirmed to edit the station articles? Also, if the Manhattan-bound platform of Avenue X (IND Culver Line) was already rehabilitated, why would it be closed again? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.78.40 (talk) 20:02, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That map was quickly done. On April 30 it said that all stations would be reopened on the Culver Line. Earlier on the morning of May 1 the Culver Service Notice page said that Avenue U and Avenue X would be reopened at a later date, and later that afternoon it was announced that they would reopen on May 8. The map that was out until May 2 was the map they were planning to put on the website after the Culver Line stations reopened. This map mentioned the May 22 date. They probably quickly scrambled to make a new map and it therefore didn't include the May 22 information. You can also find it by checking out planned service changes for May 22 and May 23. I don't know what the deal is with Avenue X.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 00:39, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The planned service changes for May 23 has yet to say the Manhattan-bound Culver stations will close [10], but the Sea Beach closure is not there either. That being said, perhaps we should leave the Sea Beach info in (changing it should something new come out), but remove the Culver closure dates for now until that advisory board gets updated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.78.40 (talk) 00:55, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

IND Culver Line renovations[edit]

Hey Kew Gardens. I undid your edits since the MTA map updates constantly but we are citing a particular edition of the map, not the map as a whole. Is there another news source we can use that says the renovations start this week? epicgenius (talk) 13:57, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What is wrong with the map? It is correct. The information was only taken down temporarily until Avenue U and Avenue X reopened, and they have reopened. The renovations start on May 22. I don't know why you think they would start this week? There are no other news sources.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 17:19, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey esteemed editor KG. How did you ever find that closing date? I noticed that it was 101 years ago exactly (yesterday), did you get some kind of "This Day in History" e-mail or notice?

Former Harlem Line stations[edit]

How have you been doing when it comes to adding info on former stations on the not yet Metro-North Harlem Line? Many of the sources you have are pretty good, and some of the others I've found have been okay. But the 1898 schedule you showed me in your message had nothing on the line north of Mott Haven Junction, which I suppose might be okay for you since that's what you're working on. I on the other hand still have to struggle to find the opening dates for Claremont Park (NYC station) and 183rd Street (NYC station). For Claremont Park (originally Central Morrisania), I was able to trace it back to at least 1869, although it could've been earlier, and the oldest evidence of 183rd Street station I was able to find goes back to 1901. That might be a little older too, although I still haven't seen any evidence of the station before 1897. I still have my doubts about Morrisania and Mott Haven-138th Street stations. And to top that off, the 1899 map where I found out about Fordham Heights (NYC station) on the Hudson Line places Mott Haven station at Mott Haven Junction! ---------User:DanTD (talk) 02:22, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I like that you and Tdorante10 are helping to improve so many New York City Subway articles, and that you are nominating them for GA status. It is much appreciated.

Second Avenue Subway R train[edit]

I don't think it's significant enough to devote several sentences to the R train in that article. In my opinion, there need to be at least three or four trips; otherwise mentioning the R would be confusing to readers. Perhaps just a brief mention of that one trip would be good enough when you do decide to unhide that text. epicgenius (talk) 02:11, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Where do you think it should be mentioned there?--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 02:15, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think in the "Extent and service" section, and that's it. Also, it's too early to speculate whether one R train a day will continue to run to 125th Street during phase 2.

It definitely should not be added to the service template, like the one "5" train trip at Nostrand Avenue and Kingston Avenue is not mentioned in the service templates there. epicgenius (talk) 02:47, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

History of the Staten Island Railway[edit]

Hello, Kew Gardens 613. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for History of the Staten Island Railway at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 21:24, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kew Gardens 613; regarding your comments on your request, I shall proceed here with the assumption the article contains no copyright violations; If I find any suspect text I can rewrite short passages; but mass copypasta fixing is rather beyond my scope. The c/e will probably take me around a week to complete, depending on what needs doing. It looks like an interesting article to work on, anyway. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 18:04, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help. There are no copyright violations. Before I asked for someone to look over it, I thoroughly looked and took out any violations. Thank you.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 20:46, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your work!--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 21:32, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No worries; I found it an interesting and detailed article, though i think it could possibly be split into two, perhaps pre-1900 and 1901 to present. I think its length may be the reason you've waited so long for a GA review too. That's just my opinion though, which you didn't ask for. :) Anyway, I wish you well in developing it, and I hope it does get a GA review soon.

Picture Requests[edit]

I have two picture requests that I can think of right now that I think you can do.

1. Since they are now being assigned to the C, see if you could snap a few pictures of the R46 C Train. This is slowly becoming a more common sight thanks to the action plan.

2. If you can go to the Shore Line Trolley Museum, see if you can find Deck Roof car 3662. That's the only Deck Roof Car left, and Wikimedia has no picture of that car.

Reply if you are able to do any of these.

PATH (rail system)#History[edit]

Hi Kew Gardens. I appreciate the work you are doing at PATH (rail system). If you want to add more references to the history section, I recommend the book Rails Under the Mighty Hudson (1975) by Brian Cudahy. I believe the New York Public Library's Mid-Manhattan temporary branch has a physical copy, and so does the Main Branch. I've been meaning to borrow that book for a while, but I haven't gotten the time, so if you want, you could use that book. epicgenius (talk) 22:09, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have it, and I have been using it. I will add more.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:17, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Keep up the nice additions. epicgenius (talk) 22:24, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted[edit]

Hi Kew Gardens 613. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war.
If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Biblio (talk) 02:43, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Woodlawn Station[edit]

Actually, I did not notice much of the text which now appears there when I did the revision. That's strange.

I was just attempting to correct the mistake regarding the Woodlawn accident and the stopping at Fordham Station. Perhaps you would like to address that, instead of me. Bbaldwin7 (talk) 14:11, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway, if you don't, I'll just make the corrections regarding the 1907 accident and the use of the New York Central stations at Woodlawn and Fordham and leave the rest alone.

The NYNH&H sent football specials to Fordham University's Rose Hill campus (Fordham Station) with permission of the New York Central, just as it sent "horticultural specials" to their Botanical Gardens station. These were special charter trains, and they do not indicate that the New Haven maintained a station stop for its trains in the Bronx. There was no switch to Fordham Station in the mid-1970s for New Haven trains. This was a new service to-and-from Connecticut that was arranged between Metro-North and CDOT New Haven. At that time, the NYNH&H and the NYC did not have a comparable ongoing agreement for use of a Harlem Division station by New Haven trains for at least half-a-century.Bbaldwin7 (talk) 14:39, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody is suggesting there was a switch in the mid-1970's. Penn Central bought the New York, New Haven and Hartford in 1969, and trackage rights between New York Central and the New York, New Haven and Hartford did in fact exist in 1848.---------User:DanTD (talk) 14:44, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your text suggests to me that there was an ongoing agreement from the 1920s for the New Haven Railroad to use the New York Central's Fordham Station, and that this switched from a designated use of the Woodlawn Station, due to the New Haven's preference, motivated by football traffic to Fordham's Bronx campus. Beyond this, the existing text appears to leave the reader with the impression that from the 1920s until the Metro-North era, the New Haven Railroad continued to use Fordham Station. It did not. There was no further use of Fordham Station by the New Haven until CDOT New Haven requested a stop in the Bronx from Metro-North and this was scheduled on CDOT New Haven Division timetables, beginning in mid-to-late 1970s. New Haven trackage-rights into Grand Central over the NYC Harlem Division never gave the New Haven Railroad full access to the use of NYC Harlem Division stations without further negotiation. Only the right-to-passage was fully extended.Bbaldwin7 (talk) 15:41, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First, Kew Gardens 613 complained that I've "messed up" DanTD's work. Now, DanTD is writing to say, "this person might have a legitimate reason to edit it this way". Question: Who am I responding to here? The Wikipedia history says the author of the text is DanTD.

I grew up in the northwest Bronx and watched, photographed, and rode the trains of the Harlem Division from 1961 to 1985. I own dozens of books on the NYC and NH operations in the Bronx, etc. There are often mistakes made by authors who are referencing things with too much generality, or repeating old inaccuracies which have appeared in print. No one can have a good reason to continue spreading such mistakes. I'm only interested in correcting facts which are wrong or confusing. I don't wish to step on another's good faith efforts to add or expand on material here. As I said, I was only concerned with correcting what was inaccurate regarding the 1907 accident location, and the confusion regarding the New Haven Railroad's regular stops in the Bronx on the Harlem Division. Bbaldwin7 (talk) 15:41, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how the other text that you had added was deleted, as none of it appeared in the screen text I was editing, or on the page that initially opened on Wikipedia. Why that happened is a mystery to me, I've never seen anything like that occur before.Bbaldwin7 (talk) 15:41, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Dan. I can't tell you exactly when the fire was, but as I recall in passing it, the fire did not cause a structural collapse of the building. I seem to recall that it was standing with boarded-up windows in the mid-seventies. All the Harlem stations got high-level platforms to use with the new Metropolitan cars during the summer of 1971 or 72. At the time, the division was under the just bankrupt Penn Central and the MTA was giving them cash to do all of this. On some stations the clearance was sufficient to allow the old platform peaked roofing to remain. Conrail took over from Penn Central in 1976, and with more money from the MTA they started to tear down almost all of the old station structures. Most of these stations hadn't sold tickets since the 1940s. Some like the Botanical Gardens station had been boarded up since the late-40s. I recall that the Penn Central even padlocked and chained-shut the waiting room in the Fordham Station about 1971, and it stayed that way until at least the mid-late-70s. Woodlawn was treated the same way. These stations were all locked and closed, long before the buildings were torn down. Fordham Station is perhaps the only one of the Harlem Division stations in the Bronx that now exists and has an open waiting area. Even when these stations were boarded up there was always access to the platforms and, of course, you could buy a ticket on the train. I'd say that all the old station buildings were removed starting about 1976, after Conrail took over, and there was a second great infusion of MTA cash. I'd say the job was finished by about 1980. I was not in the Woodlawn or Wakefield areas of the Bronx much during that time period, but I recall being surprised to drive by Woodlawn one day and see the station building gone. The 1970s changed everything. I totally lost interest when the old equipment and structures went. It was a totally different world. Seeing FL-9 diesels painted back into NH McGinnis colors was the only wonderful surprise and that happened, just before I left the Bronx and moved to LA. I'd suggest contacting the Bronx County Historical Society and a rail fan chapter dedicated to the New York Central and the Harlem, Hudson, and Putnam Divisions. I'm sure they'll have all the clippings and probably a lot more. Bbaldwin7 (talk) 17:14, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kew Gardens 613, Would you be available for the photo shoot we discussed at a different time?

Grasmere SIR station move[edit]

Hey, I wanted to drop in and ask what was the rationale for moving the Grasmere station page removing the disambiguation. Last I checked you were supportive of leaving the disambiguation in place, so why move it? —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 20:22, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reason to keep Staten Island Railway in there. I was initially opposed to removing the disambiguation for the subway pages because it would mess up templates. Since this issue has been resolved, I think it makes sense to move the pages. Adding Staten Island Railway into the article title does not add anything, and is not concise.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 20:23, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How so, when it has been stated time and time again that to those outside of the Metro New York area, removing the disambiguation does more harm than good? All for the sake of conforming to JHunterJ's argument about precision? I am yet to be convinced. Removing the disambiguation seems like lack of precision to me. —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 20:54, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The very first sentence of WP:PRECISION says this: "Usually, titles should be precise enough to unambiguously define the topical scope of the article, but no more precise than that." (emphasis added). If a title is unambiguous, there is no need to add more information. I'm outside the Metro New York area and I certainly don't need it.

North American railway signaling - Copy&Paste Concern[edit]

I happened upon the North American railway signaling that you placed a notice on regarding copy and pasted text. If I could make a suggestion, you may want to go back and redo/modify how the Template:Copypaste was done, since it doesn't use the available slot to indicate where you suspect the material was taken from (See the templete page for directions/the format), as well as bringing it up in the article talk page. Further the link that was in your edit summary is now dead, the website recently redid something involving databases. Googling the title from the references section does bring back a copy, but I didn't have luck on the original website that the link points to. Also, the article hasn't been modified since you posted that notice, it might be worth telling Diannaa 🍁 (talk) about it, since she specializes in copyright concerns. She could either advice corrective action you could take or just remove the material if it is a problem. (You can reply back here, as I've watched this page.)--The Navigators (talk)-May British Rail Rest in Peace. 02:30, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a United States Department of Transportation document, and as such, is in the public domain. Attribution is required though. This is done by incorporating the template {{PD-notice}} as part of the citation. I have done so for this article, as well as adding an archive link to the citation. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:02, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing links to IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line[edit]

Hi Kew Gardens. I noticed that you're fixing links from IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line to IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line. While I don't really have a problem for the most part, I think you should be aware of two things:

Generally you shouldn't fix redirect links outside of the "article", "category", "draft", "template", "Wikipedia", or "portal" spaces, especially if it's only fixing a redirect. I would advise avoiding fixing links in any talk pages, or people's user pages. For example, this edit to a talk archive (or this one) is not necessary since very few readers are going to see it, except maybe for the user whose comments you're editing.
Some editors may also bring up the guideline WP:NOTBROKEN, which gives the example That is, editors should not change, for instance, [[Franklin Roosevelt]] to [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] or [[Franklin D. Roosevelt|Franklin Roosevelt]] just to "fix a redirect". I personally don't have a problem with fixing redirect links, but I generally only do so if it's part of a substantive edit that changes something else (e.g. rewording).

Thank you. epicgenius (talk) 17:46, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The same goes for the links to he West Side Line you're "fixing". Please see WP:NOTBROKEN. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:41, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Recent page moves[edit]

Hi. I haven't been bothered to find the discussion (if any), but is there a reason for using "IRT Lines" as a disambiguator instead of just "IRT" for Grand Central–42nd Street (IRT Lines)? If not I would pick "IRT lines", since "Lines" would probably be considered either title case (which WP:TITLEFORMAT advises against) or a random mid-sentence capital letter.

(Similarly, 63rd Street Lines should probably be 63rd Street lines per WP:MOSCAPS, but I don't know if there's consensus for that.) Jc86035 (talk) 00:58, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: I think that makes sense.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 01:21, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I also think lowercase "lines" might be better if we're talking about multiple lines. I don't think stations on a single line, or articles about singular lines, have consensus for lowercase. epicgenius (talk) 01:47, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius and Kew Gardens 613: "IRT lines" or "IRT"?

What was the issue with using "New York City Subway", by the way? If it's just the length "MTA" or "NYCS" could be used instead – if I had not read far too many of these articles I would not know what an IRT was; at least "MTA" would be of more immediate relevance. Jc86035 (talk) 01:56, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jc86035: In the case of articles like 50th Street (IND Lines), 145th Street (IND Lines), and Seventh Avenue (IND Lines), the previous titles only named one of the two lines that stopped there.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Argent Ventures, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Discount rate (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

DYK for East Side Access[edit]

On 16 November 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article East Side Access, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the East Side Access railroad expansion in New York City has been estimated to cost about $3.5 billion per mile of new tunnel, seven times more than similar projects in other countries? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/East Side Access. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, East Side Access), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

SAS Phase 2 FONSI report[edit]

Thanks for adding the information. I really appreciate it. On a side note, I noticed that you asked about whether the MTA could build the tail track at either 106th and 116th Streets. Judging by their response, I guess there goes the possibility of building a side platform station at 116th Street. epicgenius (talk) 22:54, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. They would have to widen the tunnel a bit on both side, underpinning buildings to do so. Janno Lieber seemed intrigued by the idea when I mentioned it to him at the meeting. Somewhat unrelated, but I hope he becomes the next Chairman.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 23:00, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Inwood and Woodside[edit]

Hello. I see you've added Inwood and Woodside to {{MNRR stations navbox}}. These entries currently link to disambiguation pages. Please can you add appropriate entries to the template labyrinth so these links point to the right articles or to suitably named redlinks? It looks as if Inwood needs to go into {{NYC stations}} but I'm not sure whether to add it to the (New York Central Railroad) section, to match the last entry on Inwood station, or the (Metro-North) section, to give it a more appropriate name if and when the extension gets built. Woodside doesn't seem to match any of the entries on Woodside railway station, so I guess that goes into {{NYNH&H stations}}'s MNRR section, but I'd rather an expert get it right than me take a guess.

Short descriptions for NYCS Bronx stations[edit]

It looks like we are doing the same work simultaneously, and it does not make sense, because it takes a lot of time to check what has been done and what has not been done. If you are going to add short descriptions to all subway stations in the Bronx (or even to all subway stations in NYC) anyway, I will just move to a system in another city. If not, we probably need to split the job, I will be happy to do part of it. In the Bronx list, we are now down to Hunts Point Avenue (IRT Pelham Line) (all stations above this one have short descriptions), I did not touch other lists yet.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:26, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Now I have completed the Bronx and plan to do Manhattan next, unless of course you want to do it yourself. I am only adding the short descriptions, and for any foreseeable future I am only interested in subway stations.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:32, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:DATEUNIFY and WP:CITEVAR[edit]

You need to reread MOS:DATEUNIFY, MOS:DATERET, WP:CITEVAR, and WP:CITESTYLE, because you are wrong, wrong, wrong in what you are doing to reference date formats (esp. accessdates, to which MOS:DATETIES does not apply – again, look at MOS:DATEUNIFY again) at these articles. In fact, it's disrtuptive editing, esp. in using a script to do it. I would urge you to self-revert, and start a discussion at the talk page and establish a consensus if you want to change reference formats. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:23, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College

Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City.

New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events.

GA reviewer request[edit]

Hi Kew Gardens! I hope I'm not asking for too much but I was wondering if you could help me out with performing the review for MAX Yellow Line. I don't believe it'll require too much work as I've match it as best as I can to the MAX Red Line article which has already met GA standards. The lack of reviewers for the trains project has really discouraged me from pursuing other articles. I'm hoping that checking this article off my list will change that. With your assistance, I will of course lend a hand at your pending requests as well. --Truflip99 (talk) 01:12, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Truflip99: Thanks so much for the request. I have really cut back my Wikipedia editing over the past month or so as I have Finals and lots of projects to work on. I hope you are doing well. If I find any time I will try to help, but I would not count on it. I am sure I will have time after the end of school on the 22nd.

In general, I didn't comment much on areas that I thought passed the standard for GA. If you want more feedback, I can try to provide some. StudiesWorld (talk) 20:47, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for WTC Cortlandt station[edit]

On 7 July 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article WTC Cortlandt station, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the WTC Cortlandt subway station in New York City, closed for 17 years after the September 11 attacks, cost $181 million to rebuild? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, WTC Cortlandt station), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

42nd Street Shuttle[edit]

What's the issue with the shuttle renovation? Cards84664 (talk) 19:17, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I know that it is needed, but don't like it for selfish reasons. My favorite spot in the system will be blocked off and put into employee space, and the renovation will whitewash the historical significance of the shuttle and of IRT and subway history. But, I digress. ADA improvements are needed, but I would think that they could move the employee space elsewhere, and have a historical display here. It clearly isn't a security concern. If it was, they would have done something about it after 9/11.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:25, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback revoked[edit]

Hi Kew Gardens 613,

I have removed your rollback access in response to the rollback you made [≥https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=C_(New_York_City_Subway_service)&diff=910345354&oldid=910344690 here]. While it was my edit that was the subject of the rollback, I do think this needs to be addressed as abusing rollback to bat down valid concerns about sourcing is a rather severe issue for the integrity of Wikipedia's content. I am therefore herewith giving you the opportunity to comment on what happened there.

Regards,

Samsara 08:22, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PS: You may wish to review Wikipedia:Rollback to understand how rollback is expected to be used and not used. Samsara 08:24, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Samsara: I recognize my error rolling you back here. Rollback has been a very useful tool for me to to fix persistent vandalism of articles, such as that article. However, upon reviewing my past use of the tool, I see edits where a response should have been given to explain why I decided to undo the edit, such as this edit and my very ill-advised rollback I made here. In the case of the former, I should have undone the edit and explained that I was going to find sources for the edit, which I ended up doing. I should have discussed it on the talk page, which I did not do immediately. In the case of the edit on the C (New York City Subway service) article, the reason I had rollbacked your edit had to do with your edit summary. You had written "subsequent survival not verified(/-iable?))," which seemed very odd, considering that I thought the article established that R32s were still in service, given the infobox, the image of R32s on the C in the article, and the phrase "However, delivery of the R179s was delayed until 2017 and some R32s will remain in service after the order is completed." I was not thinking about how you don't share the same expertise on NY's transit system. I should have written in the edit summary "Other places in the article show that R32s are still in service, and on the C." Epicgenius came in and made a thoughtful addition to the article that addressed your valid concerns. Had it gone to the talk page, I would have understood why you made your edit. Upon looking back at my use of Rollback, I have seen a few other improper instances of the tool. My use of the tool has really helped at stopping persistent vandalism to subway line articles and subway car articles. While I would love to still have access to the tool, I understand that I disobeyed the guidelines on #When to use rollback. I used it to reverse good-faith edits in situations where an explanatory edit summary would normally be expected) and understand why my rollback rights have been removed. If this decision is permanent, I understand your decision. However, if it is at all possible for me to regain access to the feature after a 6- or 12-month ban from Rollback access, it would be very much appreciated. If access to the feature is given back to me, I will make sure to use it only as it allowed to be used, per #When to use rollback, and will use it more sparingly. Thank you for calling me out for my misuse of the future as it will make me a better editor, will ensure that people are not discouraged from editing for fear of being rolledback, and because they won't receive usefull feedback, and because I have worked as an editor to improve sourcing on articles to ensure that content is accurate, and is well sourced. I look forward to your response. Thanks and have a great day.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 11:19, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Samsara: I noticed that you hadn't been editing recently on Wikipedia so I didn't ping you earlier. I just want to make sure that you saw my response, and look forward to your response. I have made an concious effort since your decision to provide more detailed edit summaries, and have invited others (especially IPs) to write a message on the talk page, if they disagreed with my undoing their edits. Thanks.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 01:25, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Q35 (New York City bus)[edit]

On 13 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Q35 (New York City bus), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in its early years, New York City's Q35 bus was considered unprofitable, despite charging a double fare for travel between two boroughs?

Seriously dude...[edit]

You know, you're really pissing me off. You guys have been making unnecessary and overly wordy edits as of late. Your "this is what's done in most articles" is a piss-poor reason. Give me a good and constructive reason before I revert all of those edits that you reverted back. Jemorie (talk) 19:01, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jemorie and Epicgenius: Your vandalism and use of curses and insults has really bothered me. Be respectful, even if you disagree. Information in the lead is supposed to also be included in the body of the article. The lead is a summary. A summary should not include things not in the main article, and no the infobox, is not the main article.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:04, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Which rule of this website states this? Because I'm willing to protest all of this at all cost. Seriously, the average rider does not need to be told billions of times, for example, that a station is served by this route, that route, and so on and so fourth. You guys are doing way too much. What vandalism? Show me some evidence that I have been vandalizing pages before you talk out of your ass. Jemorie (talk) 19:07, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the relevant guideline: MOS:LEAD. Your vandalism on subway car articles and constant edit warring. You are cursing again, and I am going to report you if you do not stop. I am fed up with this.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:09, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism on subway car articles? Review those page history on those articles and realize that you are talking out of your ass. And once again, I still protest. The articles were fine the way they were. You guys are fixing things that aren't even broken to begin with. Adding overly wordy information that has already been stated. And learn how to archive your own talk page too while you're at it. Seriously, over 400 plus sections? C'mon now. Jemorie (talk) 19:13, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning my talk page, people have brought that up on multiple occasions. Since it is my talkpage, I can decide whether to archive it, and I have no interest in doing so.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:48, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So you rather have your page be clusterf**ked because "it's your own talk page"? I'm sorry. I disagree. Eventually, you're going to have no damn choice. Besides, scrolling can sometimes be a pain especially if the individual in question does not have a reliable desktop. Jemorie (talk) 19:55, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Constant edit warring? Dude, you know I barely even be on here. Get your facts straight and review my page history. I do not "constantly" edit war. Once again, you are just talking out of your ass @Kew Gardens 613:. Honestly starting to dislike you personally as well @Kew Gardens 613:. You lucky I won't violate the third revert rule thingy. Jemorie (talk) 19:16, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jemorie: The relevant policy is Wikipedia:Verifiability. Things that are mentioned in the lead paragraphs should either be cited and mentioned at least once in the rest of the article, or be referenced in the lead. But ideally, anything in the lead section must also be mentioned in the following paragraphs as well. If you don't want to mention that a station is served by this route, that route, and so on and so fourth multiple times, that is fine. Just make sure it is referenced at least once. epicgenius (talk) 19:14, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius:, first off, do not mimic me, alright? Secondly, you should be telling Union Tpke that. But he won't listen. A station being served by a route should only be mention in the lede sections on every station article, period. You lucky I won't violate the third revert rule. You are so lucky. Jemorie (talk) 19:26, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jemorie: I'm not mimicking you. I am quoting your comment. You're free to discuss this on the talk page of any relevant articles, but this is a reminder that WP:3RR does not give you the right to edit war. epicgenius (talk) 19:29, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius:, and I still protest against all of this and will find a way how to sooner or later so that some of the policies on this site can be slightly changed. We need to only add information when absolutely necessary, not constantly throwing out overly wordy and unneeded sentences that I personally have noticed from you two guys from time to time. Stop fixing things that are not even broken for real. I disprove of all of this. Jemorie (talk) 19:37, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jemorie, I agree with only adding necessary information. But generally, MOS:LEAD says that what's in the lead should also be mentioned somewhere in the rest of the article. This is a guideline that the community agreed on, and if you disagree, you can feel free to start a discussion about it. epicgenius (talk) 19:40, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Epicgenius, this is the free discussion that I'm already starting and yet Kew Gardens 613 is currently all in his feelings because I simply gave my brutally and blatantly honest opinion, only for him to accuse me of editing warring and profanity. Don't know what the hell is he talking about. It's the same issue on NYCT Forums as well. We do not need to be told in every station article that the R train (in particular) serves those stations at all times in the body of those articles you guys have reverted me about. Same with all other train services/routes as well. The summary lede and the info box is enough as it is for that information. And I never edited war from the start when I saw those sentences which I deemed way too wordy for the article's own good. You guys play too much, I swear man...grrr...let me go and compose myself now since I do not want to lash out at Union Tpke anymore than I already have. If I was editing warring, trust and believe I would have already went past the third revert limit, which I did not. No more accusations. Jemorie (talk) 19:50, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jemorie: Per, WP:REMOVEUNCIVIL, In the event of rudeness or incivility on the part of another editor, it may be appropriate to discuss the offending words with that editor, and to request that editor to change that specific wording. Some care is necessary, however, so as not to further inflame the situation. It is not normally appropriate to edit or remove another editor's comment. Exceptions include to remove obvious trolling or vandalism, or if the comment is on your own user talk page. Derogatory comments about another contributor may be removed by any editor.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 20:11, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, Ben Snof, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. scope_creep^Talk 07:27, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Station Layout.[edit]

Hello Kew Gardens 613, may I ask how does my removal of station layouts go against consensus? I ask this because as far as I know this is the consensus.Terramorphous (talk) 01:13, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Terramorphous and Epicgenius: That goes against the consensus of WP:NYCPT, and the logic in that discussion, which I was not aware of at the time, is faulty. These diagrams are important as they allow the reader to understand what the layout of stations look like, which cannot easily be replicated in the prose.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 10:33, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Terramorphous: Adding on to what Kew Gardens said. The discussion was closed by a relatively new user who, judging by head counts, came to a completely incorrect conclusion. There were clearly more users in favor of "No general consensus" than "generally remove the layouts". And those in favor of removal were not opposed to keeping such diagrams on larger stations. Furthermore, our local consensus actually advocated for keeping the platform layout diagrams. For stations served by multiple lines, such deletions do not help the reader and actually hurts our visualization of the station. While I understand the guidance behind WP:NOTGUIDE, these diagrams don't violate that, since they don't give directions that aren't also stated elsewhere in the prose. epicgenius (talk) 16:50, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Davey2010 and Ymblanter: Thoughts on this? There needs to be a comprehensive consensus on this. The RfC is the consensus.Terramorphous (talk) 17:23, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think we can just disregard this RfC. the only way to change its conclusion is to open a new one.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:30, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The RFC was not faulty period. Consensus was to remove these and as such I've removed them from a good 500-800 articles, We don't get to start a new RFC just because we don't agree with the consensus/result for the previous one. Consensus was to remove them and as such I will continue to remove them (because I'm following said RFC consensus). –Davey2010^Talk 18:25, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

116th St - Broadway kiosk removal[edit]

Hi. You state: "Median of Broadway north of 116th Street The exit may have actually been closed in 1967. The Real Estate Record and Guide reported on January 6, 1968, that the control house had been demolished."

I found a Nov. 3, 1966 article in the archives of the Columbia Daily Spectator that predicts a Jan. 1967 start to demolition of the kiosk (control house) and building of new stairways. The article quotes an MTA spokesman saying the work will be a "22-month job," which would take it into late 1968-69.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:New York City Comptroller election, 2021[edit]

A tag has been placed on Category:New York City Comptroller election, 2021 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read!

Myrtle Line Central Ave Station[edit]

You're welcome. I agree it's not unlikely that Central Ave may have opened later than the other 2 stations on the extension, but I searched the Brooklyn Eagle and couldn't find anything, so I went with the extension opening date. The search tool on the archive has limited functionality (there's no exclude term that I could find), so searching on the station name returns lots of real estate ads and miscellaneous pages that happen to have both Central and Brooklyn Elevated somewhere on them.

Myrtle Avenue LIRR stations.[edit]

Hey KG, I need a little help. I've almost gotten the Myrtle Avenue (LIRR) stations mess cleaned up, except for once reference I can't resolve. On the Glendale station (LIRR) page, at the bottom of the infobox, I need this template-created link Myrtle Avenue station (LIRR) to point to Myrtle Avenue Bay Ridge. Currently, the template-created link goes to the Myrtle Ave disambig page: I had to edit the redirect after moving the Myrtle LIRR page to Myrtle Ave Evergreen as the Myrtle Avenue LIRR link became ambiguous due to the two articles. Please help, or will a bot clean that up? Or is there a station table somewhere that I need to edit? Thanks in advance! --SkipperRipper (talk) 03:11, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for 181st Street station (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line)[edit]

On 11 August 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 181st Street station (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that part of the ceiling at the 181st Street station collapsed two days after funding was allocated to repair damage from a similar collapse two years prior? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/181st Street station (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 181st Street station (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Station complexes[edit]

Hello Kew Gardens 613,

Recently, you reverted edits I made on E, F, M, and R articles claiming that they were “unneeded." This rationale for reversion goes against Wikipedia policy, which states: Do not revert unnecessary edits (i.e., edits that neither improve nor harm the article). For a reversion to be appropriate, the reverted edit must actually make the article worse. (See WP:DONTREVERT.) Regarding the Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street station complex, the purpose of my edits was to specify that, while the E, F, M, R, and 7 all stop at this complex, the stations within the complex have different names. Removing the note that the 7 transfer is at 74th Street–Broadway also removes the clarity that this is technically a separate station from the Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue station. In fact, such a distinction already exists on the 7 article, the MTA website, and the article for the station complex itself: The station complex consists of two separate stations, connected by escalators, stairs, and elevators. If you felt this was unneeded, I’m puzzled as to why you did not also change such notes for other station complexes on the same articles. Why is my edit unnecessary, but to specify that the 6 transfer from Lexington Avenue–53rd Street is at 51st Street, for example, isn’t?

As you know, on every stations table for NYCS articles, station complexes are represented by the specific name of the station at which the train stops in the “stations” column, while stations with other names that are in the same complex are represented by those names in the “subway transfers” column. This is why the Lexington Avenue/51st Street station complex is “Lexington Avenue–53rd Street” on the E & M articles while it is “51st Street” on the 6 article. Before you reverted my edits, every station complex on the stations table of every NYCS article was represented according to this structure. Your reverts have not only removed clarity from the stations tables, but they have also disturbed the consistency across the tables that I had intended.

Other notes:

I acknowledge that my distinction between Court Square–23rd Street and Court Square on the E & M articles might seem unnecessary because these stations share almost the same name, but this distinction is present on the G & 7 articles. If we're distinguishing between the two on those articles, I frankly don't see how the same distinction becomes "unneeded" when applied to the E & M articles. The G & 7 stations are not called "Court Square–23rd Street."
I admit that, on the E article, mentioning that the L transfer from 14th Street is at Eighth Avenue is redundant considering there is a header for the Eighth Avenue Line already in the stations table. This also goes for all trains that serve the Eighth Avenue and Sixth Avenue Lines. (The Broadway–Seventh Avenue trains need this note, however, because the transfer is an avenue away.)
With regard to your revert on the M article, I’d agree with it if we referred to Delancey Street and Essex Street as Delancey Street/Essex Street on F, M, and J/Z articles. However, referring to individual stations by their station complex name can get messy. (Imagine if we referred to the Chambers Street–World Trade Center/Park Place/Cortlandt Street station complex as such in the stations table for each train that serves it.) Technically, it is accurate to specify that the F stop is Delancey Street while the JMZ stop is Essex Street, as is represented on the article for the station complex as well as on the MTA website. Moreover, you removed this clarification from the M article but left it—as it had already existed—on the F article. How is this unnecessary on one article but not the other?
On the E article, you also undid my reorganization of the subway transfer cells. Typically, in the subway transfer column, trains that run along the same line are listed first, while any transfers to other lines are listed below. Additionally, within the listings of transfers to other lines, trains with numerical designations are listed before those with alphabetical designations. Your reverts placed the 7 train above the FMR at Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue, placed the 4/6 above the M train at Lexington Avenue–53rd Street, and placed the G above the 7 at Court Square–23rd Street. Listing non–QBL trains first makes the absence of a line label next to the other QBL trains seem ambiguous (thus, why we would order intra–QBL transfers first, resolving this ambiguity and a need for a label) and contrasts with how every other subway transfer listing is organized for station complexes on other articles. See further down on the table: A & C trains are consistently listed first as transfers at Eighth Avenue Line stops because they run on this line with the E. Thus, they do not need "(IND Eighth Avenue Line)" beside them (except at 50th Street, the last stop on the Queens Boulevard Line [which I am happy to see you have added back]).

Please explain your rationale for reversion considering how most other station complexes are represented in these tables; I am curious to know why the Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street–Broadway disambiguation, in particular, is “unneeded.” Softmist (talk) 19:38, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The NYC subway and the Google street map entrances[edit]

Hey Kew Garden 613, first of all huge compliments for your pages about the list of closed and new NYC subway entrances, but also for your list of removed and part-time NYC subway token booths! I hope that these will become official wiki pages. I am Italian, I love NYC and above all the mytichal NYC subway. I know that also you are a great lover of the NY subway and maybe you can help me. I think that wiki is a fantastic thing and should not be a dictatorship! I love the NY subway and NYC stations pages. But there is a problem. A wikipedia's administrator, incredibly threatened to block me from editing only because I updated the old (many of the 2009...) images of the subway entrances, I just put other subway entrances (see the 59th St Columbus Circle, Fulton Center and 42nd Times Square stations for example) and above all I put subway entrances and platform images where there were images of streets without stations or even restaurant interiors...(only for example, to see the Franklin Street station)! I lost a lot of hours (and many nights) in this huge work because I love the NYC subway. I also love Wikipedia and I think that is it necessary to correct the evident errors. In many images it wasn't possible to see many entrance stairs and I, with an infinite patience, have updated them! I think that these were important contributions to improve the NY subway page and as a thank you now I can't see the subway entrances of Google streets on the wiki pages... Now this person is taking off all the google map street view entrances of the NY subway stations!!! Absurd! I think that these images were very useful because in the many NY subway sites we can to see only the stations, but my goal was put also all the subway entrances! (YOU CAN SEE THE OLD WIKI PAGE OF 24 August 2021 OF THE 59TH ST-COLUMBUS CIRCLE STATION WITH ALL THE ENTRANCES in the Google Maps Street View section, FOR EXAMPLE - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=59th_Street%E2%80%93Columbus_Circle_station&oldid=1040487147). And this is only 1 example (you can see the old pages of Times Square, Fulton Center stations etc) I updated and added ALL the subway entrances of the 1-2 and 3 lines after many nights without sleeping ONLY for an ENORMOUS PASSION and WITHOUT INTEREST, but this has been his only answer:

Short answer; we don't need Google streetview links to every subway station. Wikipedia is not a directory or a transit guide. Most of the other links in the External links section should be removed per WP:EL. OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:38, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

P.S. If you see this page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/125th_Street_station_(IRT_Lexington_Avenue_Line) it is easy to notice an huge error: if you click on the 125th Street entrance from Google Maps Street View (in the external links section), you don't see an entrance in the street, but a platform... And this is just a simple example of the many errors in these NY subway stations pages. Now, if I correct these errors, he can block me. I don't think that this is the right attitude to improve Wikipedia... What do you suggest me to do? Thanks for your possible help.

Very many people were enjoying my enormous work to seek and put the many NYC subway entrances. When in 2019 I have been in the most important city in the world and I taken your fantastic subway at all hours, even if I am a huge lover of it, it wasn't easy to find the right entrance and therefore, when I saw that on wiki somebody had had this fantastic idea, I was very happy and I wished to contribute. If I deleted some previous images, it was because in that pictures often it was not possible to see the entrance or also because with 1 only image I was trying to show all the STAIRS and also the fantastic GREEN (entrance always open 24/7) and RED lamps typical of the NYC subway, but also the beautiful NYC skyscrapers on background!!! I realize that for the persons which aren't passionate of the NY subway it it may not be important, but it is however USEFUL. When I saw that the wikipedia' administrator deleted the subway entrances of the Times Square, Columbus Circle, Fulton Center etc it has been an heart attack for me and for my sleeping nights to seek and add, but also to update the many entrances of these fantastic stations! I hope that my old images on the 1-2 and 3 lines can be restored and that the administrator will be able to allow us to put the entrances of all the lines and to improve these wiki pages. Thank you and excuse me for my incorrect English...

I HOPE THAT YOU CAN HELP ME TO RESTORE ALL THE FANTASTIC AND USEFUL IMAGES OF THE ENTRANCES OF THE NYC SUBWAY STATIONS ON Google Maps Street View! Thank you. A great passionate of the NYC subway. Forza NYCFC !! (talk) 23:05, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit/revert on 42nd St Shuttle page.[edit]

Hey KG, I removed that "redundant" (probably not the best term) sentence because the line's frequencies were listed in the sentence directly preceding the one I removed. Is that sentence trying to say that up to a max 10 trains per hour can be run? Those two sentences together currently read awkwardly. Maybe a rewording is in order for that specific sentence?

M7/M10 Limited[edit]

Hi! I'm wondering if you have any official documentation from the MTA stating why the M7/M10 Limiteds were removed almost 28-30 years ago? I can't seem to find any newspaper prints, MTA timetables and the like.

EDIT: My bad, I forgot to sign my message hehe. IND Concourse Express (talk) 21:58, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@IND Concourse Express: I unfortunately do not-that is something I have wondered myself.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 17:15, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found something -almost. This partially answers my question, but I'd like to know why said service was removed. All I can say is that the M7 limited was no more, as per the August 1994 Manhattan Bus Map that's in my possession. IND Concourse Express (talk) 06:03, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just sending you a quick note to acknowledge the thanks for my edit of Manhattan Railway article[edit]

Template:Staten Island Railway annual ridership[edit]

Do you have a plan to use {{Staten Island Railway annual ridership}} in either the main article or the history article about the railway? Unused templates tend to be deleted, and this one looks like it has useful information.

If the content is to be used in just one article, it should probably be copied and pasted directly in. Single-use article-content templates also tend to be deleted. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:24, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your recent tweet (closed control area)[edit]

Regarding your recent tweet: https://twitter.com/Union_Tpke/status/1611902826233348098?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

This appears to be control area A79, at the intersection of Beekman and Nassau Streets, serving the Fulton St BMT station (Broad St-bound).

The array in the photo perfectly matches the upper level station plan I have: the box shaped booth with a left side door, two high wheel turnstiles to the left of a column, and an oblique fence next to a gate. The passageway to the platform can be barely seen on the left side of the photo.

This entrance was closed in early 1988 as per your list and MTA board materials. The $1 fare was in effect between 1986 and 1989. So this seems to be a slam dunk. (A commenter previously noted that the entrance may be BMT/IRT related.)

@QueensBlvdTransitway: That is what I had guessed. Why did you leave Twitter? Your great finds will be lost to many if you delete your account vs. just locking it/not using it, though I would still miss you there. In the initial image I had of this photo, the left-hand Thhigh wheel wasn't completely visible, otherwise it would have been obvious. Thanks so much. Where did you find the info re:the M-level at Hunter? Also, I don't see any evidence of a 104th entrance. Amazing finds overall. Thanks so much! --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 23:01, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! I intend to deactivate the account; the finds aren't necessarily impressive and I feel more at peace reducing my online footprint.

Hunter North M-level: http://www.spatialdiscipline.com/athletic-facilities-masterplan

Your closed entrance article seems to be too long to display new sources properly. You *might* want to consider breaking it up by borough (also for easier navigation and scrolling). There are some more removed entrances I have on my list but lack citations for; one of these is five BMT street stairs at 34th that seem to have been removed during IND construction.

I'm also starting to work on a potential 19th Street PATH article with the hopes it could eventually be developed enough to enter the mainspace: User:QueensBlvdTransitway/19th Street station (PATH). I may not have enough info on 28th Street to draft a good article for that station. There is also some info I've been compiling on closed and unbuilt entrances in the PATH system that may be worth publishing somewhere; the list would be surprisingly long. QueensBlvdTransitway (talk) 23:20, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I and others think they are impressive! Your research skills are amazing. Even if you don't use it again, it would recommend locking it, but it is your decision. Yeah, the sources issue needs to be addressed. @Epicgenius: We had discussed this, but what do you think makes sense? Ooh, where did you see that about 5 BMT stairs? That PATH list sounds amazing! I am glad you are here though. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 00:47, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kew Gardens 613, regarding the too-many-sources issue, I agree with QueensBlvdTransitway. You could probably leave the paragraphs as-is, but I'd recommend that you split up the lists by borough, e.g. User:Kew Gardens 613/List of closed New York City Subway entrances/Brooklyn, User:Kew Gardens 613/List of closed New York City Subway entrances/The Bronx, etc. I have a feeling we're going to find more sources about the closed entrances.

By the way @QueensBlvdTransitway, a list of closed/unbuilt PATH entrances would be a really great idea. You should go for it - I feel like the NY Times and other sources have ample coverage of the topic. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:57, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, @QueensBlvdTransitway:, that 5/53 abandoned stair isn't in my secret station layouts at all, interestingly. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 01:15, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MTA staff confirmed in a public hearing for 570 Fifth Avenue that it is almost certainly there and will be reopened with the ADA project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3Fp5VdiGAs 27:10

Also, the transit authority approval drawings for 665 Fifth Avenue show the stair in the original contract drawings. It's likely many of the station layouts you have are dated and/or incomplete; they only really do detailed surveys when construction is pending QueensBlvdTransitway (talk) 01:28, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Upper Harlem Freight Details[edit]

While I feel like I could have removed more details than necessary, the amount of information about freight on those station pages is honestly overly specific about the service provided, and in some cases feels irrelevant (why is it necessary to notate the specific movement trains take to reach Tennile River, or to list, in detail, what each of the industries Wassaic served are)? While it is relevant to note freight services at the stations, it does feel like the amount of details in those paragraphs is kind of extreme, and I feel like it should be toned down. Some of this information I feel like could also be relayed to the main Harlem Line article as well. Pokemonred200 (talk) 22:16, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I actually advised Red on Discord to trim the freight info. My opinion is that the freight info should be summarized to only include key points, unless the freight operations were part of the station itself.

In the case of Tenmile River station, I felt the paragraph was going on a tangent; e.g. for In addition to the few passengers that came to visit the New York State-operated juvenile developmental disability center, the major amount of railroad traffic was involved the shipments of soft coal on a regular basis. On any average day numerous carloads were moved in and empties switched out., I thought this could be condensed significantly.

In the case of Wassaic station, I did not really see how all of these freight customers were relevant to the original Wassaic station. I did advise Red to trim the first paragraph, which he did. Epicgenius (talk) 19:20, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for not responding earlier. Many stations had freight stations/sidings, which are related to the station. Freight was an important part of the development of the Harlem Line, and it does not receive adequate coverage. If not in these articles, I guess there could be a section in the main Harlem Line article on former freight customers on the line if we manage to get sources. I don't disagree that this stuff-at minimum-should be condensed. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 17:06, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Clark Street station. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Clark Street station), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

List of bus routes in Suffolk County article.[edit]

Hello, my esteemed friend in editing. I have started overhauling the current SCT bus table(s) via my sandbox. I have Route 1 done, and the last few also. If you want to throw a few routes in, I’d be grateful. Note that I am fully linking all (LIRR) connections (like in most of the other bus route list articles, but I need to relink stuff like this back up in a few others), as this isn’t a regular artlcle so to speak. Notice the PDF sched links only need 0 and the route number added in. Thanks. — SkipperRipper (talk) 20:07, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, new SCT route table is complete, and I split the current routes’ history into its own table (needs more entries). I hope the IP editor who did a poorly-edited table and fouled up the former routes table doesn’t take exception to the edit which I spent all week on. Also note ref and div tags need to he removed from the former routes table. Yay. — SkipperRipper (talk) 13:27, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
