 * Part about MTA testing 5 trains for full time service <--- needs ref.

Moving back to “Flatbush Av–Brooklyn College”
The previous move cited schedules and line info as the reason for making the change from “Flatbush Avenue–Brooklyn College” to “Brooklyn College–Flatbush Avenue”. I don’t doubt that was true then, but as of right now, only the following sources still list it as “Brooklyn College–Flatbush Avenue”, as far as I can find: Meanwhile, the following sources once again label this station as “Flatbush Avenue–Brooklyn College”:
 * 5 train line map
 * , dated January 2011
 * Simplified NYCS system map, dated May 2011
 * , dated December 2010
 * 2 train line map
 * , dated 12 December 2010
 * , dated 12 December 2010

I believe The Map alone provides enough reason to move this article back to “Flatbush Avenue–Brooklyn College”, and I will be doing so shortly. Feel free to let me know if you have any serious objections. Larry V (talk &#124; e-mail) 10:09, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I've wondered why this station name didn't conform to the map; Good move. Acps110 (talk • contribs) 13:27, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Station layout section
Which way is north in the diagram? It appears to be to the left, in which case the platform labels "Door open left/right" are backwards. All trains arrive from the north, thus trains that cross over prior to arriving open their doors on the left, and those that arrive straight in open their doors on the right. 198.228.228.40 (talk) 12:35, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, each train both enters the station and leaves it, so the arrows should point both to the left and to the right. However, it isn't what Epicgenius, the creator of these diagrams, has chosen to do. He has drawn arrows for departing trains only. So, both tracks are labeled northbound, and the platforms are to the left of the left track and to the right of the right track (looking north). Vcohen (talk) 12:56, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * That's not what the platforms are labeling. They say "Doors OPEN" indicating a train arriving. Thus, the labels are backwards if north is to the left side of the diagram. 198.228.228.41 (talk) 14:59, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You are right, but it is confusing. We cannot label the platforms in the direction opposite to the arrows. We need to add some explanation to the diagram. Vcohen (talk) 15:26, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Why not? Can we just keep it consistent with every other diagram and show where the doors open? 198.228.228.37 (talk) 15:54, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Because every other diagram has only one direction of trains' movement and doesn't create confusion. Even most other diagrams of terminal stations have one island platform labeled "Doors will open on the left, right", and the reader has the freedom to decide what the left and right are for him. This diagram forces the reader to remember that (and to wonder why) the left and right are NOT for a train moving in the direction of the arrow. Vcohen (talk) 17:14, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * P.S. Let's revert it to your version, adding the following text: "for trains arriving from the north". Vcohen (talk) 17:40, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * According to this diagram, the direction onto which the trains open their doors depends on which direction the train is departing in. Let's just leave it at that. Epicgenius (talk) 15:13, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Google misnifo
The "Quick Links" on the Google Maps Street View link to this station actually lead to Flatbush Avenue (BMT Fulton Street Line) instead of this station, and they offer no way to correct this error. -User:DanTD (talk) 00:05, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
