Talk:Washington State Route 409

Copyedit
As per the request to the Guild of Copyeditors, I have copyedited the entire article. I will read over the whole thing a little later, as I am more likely to catch any of my mistakes after a brief interlude of time. But in the meantime, I hope I improved the flow and grammar of the article. Cheers! Scapler (talk) 02:51, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Price Guide
I have removed the following from the article: "The ferry costs 50¢ for foot passengers, $1 USD for bicycles, $2 USD for motorcycles, and $3 USD for passenger cars and other vehicles under 20 ft. Vehicles over 20 ft cannot travel on the ferry; motorhomes, large trucks and trailers are allowed on the ferry for a fare determined by length. Frequent Traveler Tickets can be purchased for $40 USD (22 trips) and $75 USD (44 trips) for vehicles under 20 ft." per WP:What Wikipedia is not, which states WIkipedia is not a sales catalog: "street prices are trivia that can vary widely from place to place and over time. Therefore, lists of products currently on sale should not quote street prices." Scapler (talk) 12:23, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand the reasoning, but The Bridges project includes tolls, as does USRD. This isn't quite the same as a street price in the sense that a single Nintendo Wii system that's otherwise identical to another might be fetching different prices in different cities or at different times. This ferry only operates in a single location, and changes in pricing would be permanent, meaning a simple update to the article would suffice. I'm going to suggest the tolls be inserted into the article. Imzadi1979 (talk) 19:19, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * As a followup though, the USD and links were superfluous. This is an article about a highway in the US, it can be inferred that all dollar figures are in US Dollars since it is nowhere near an international border. Imzadi1979 (talk) 19:21, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
