List of New York City Subway stations
Hi, I see you removed the maintenance tag dablinks from List of New York City Subway stations. This article links to 104 disambigs, making it one of the worst in Wikipedia. This article is a tricky one, because there are so many qualified disambiguation pages like 33rd Street (New York City Subway) which shouldn't exist, since they're incomplete disambiguations. I'm happy to work with you to fix it. -- Ja Ga  talk 20:24, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * So you mean that 33rd Street (New York City Subway) should redirect to 33rd Street? Note that most, if not all of the dablinks on the page are intended. Because they are linked from the "name" column in the same name section, I will delink them. The content of the dabpage is in the table anyway. &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 02:45, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. If you don't want to de-link them, we can always mark them as intentional dablinks. Let me know if you're interested and I'll do some to show how it works. -- Ja Ga  talk  17:02, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry I didn't answer your question, BTW. 33rd Street (New York City Subway) should redirect to 33rd Street per WP:INCDAB. -- Ja Ga  talk 19:27, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * What Train2104 said is correct; those dab pages are intentional. There are many NYC Subway stations with the same name, thus the need to disambiguate via the line name. For example, there are four 125th Street stations as you cross Manhattan at Broadway, Eighth Ave, Lenox Ave, and Lexington Ave. How to we need to fix these pages to mark them as intentional?

 * I went to List of New York City Subway stations and did Third Avenue through 18th Street. In most cases, the (New York City Subway) article had already been merged into the bigger disambiguation article, so all I had to do was use the (disambiguation) link. For instance, I changed Third Avenue to Third Avenue, and it's now properly marked as intentional per WP:INTDABLINK. This works even when the (disambiguation) page is a redirect, as long as (disambiguation) is in the title. In one case, Seventh Avenue (New York City Subway), I had to merge its content into Seventh Avenue first (WP:INCDAB), turn it into a redirect to Seventh Avenue, and then mark the link in this article as intentional. I'll do more if you're OK with it; I wasn't sure if you wanted to proceed this way, or unlink the "Name of station" column. Let me know your decision and I'll keep going if necessary. Cheers, -- Ja Ga  talk 07:10, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't understand which part actually marks the dab as intentional. Is it on the dab page or the NYCS station page? I checked the ones you did, and they look good so far; Please continue. Acps110 (talk • contribs) 23:17, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Great, will do. The (disambiguation) in the title marks it as intentional. The logic is, you aren't going to create a link to Third Avenue (disambiguation) unless you intend to link to the disambig (such as in the otheruses template). -- Ja Ga  talk 23:39, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

The Bronx Thonx
Thanks for doing the vandal reverts this evening. I don't think 3RR applies to clear vandalism, but if it does, I will have your back. Will check back later tonight. A onetime rider of the D-train from 183rd St Bellagio99 (talk) 01:36, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Certainly! I think the escalating messages that I left on the IP's talk page got the point across. Acps110 (talk • contribs) 02:21, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I noticed that too. Was going to fix the "thonx" vandalism but was late for an appointment. Clear vandalism, 3RR does not apply. ScottyBerg (talk) 15:40, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
