Talk:BMT Jamaica Line

somebody needs to clean up the wikilinks here, either removing them or redirecting them to pages that actually exist. I'm fairly certian that most of these topics do have pages, but just not at the names linked here. Squigish 01:26, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Mediocre compared to Archer Avenue Line article
Why is this article harder to read than the Archer Avenue extension article? That one indicates when each station opened. The station openings are not indicated in this article. --neither are the years of opening of operations on the segments of the line.

This article is like a collection of stubs, in terms of revealed information. Dogru144 00:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


 * No one's gotten to it yet. I can fill in early history (prior to 1902) like I did on BMT Lexington Avenue Line, BMT Fulton Street Line, and BMT Fifth Avenue Line. --NE2 00:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Page does not exist? What a lie!
Why does the template have a redlink for 75th Street – Elderts Lane (BMT Jamaica Line), when there's clearly an article for it? DanTD (talk) 13:01, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Possible Dual-Contracts Source
I've got a possible old link that could be related to the construction of certain stations under Dual Contracts. Take a look at this. -User:DanTD (talk) 01:33, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Nomenclature instead of etymology
Changing the name of the subsection in the article since it clearly refers to how the line is called, not the origin of any specific word.
