Some input please
Hello, I quoted you here. If you have a time, may I please ask you to provide some further input on the issue? Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:48, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

SEPTA Regional Rail
The splitting of SEPTA Regional Rail articles needs to stop immediately. The correct names, as linked from all the pages, do not have the SEPTA suffix, except for Trenton, West Trenton, and Airport. We need an administrator to deal with this because you chapterized the redirects, creating an additional history entry and making it impossible to move the pages over the redirect. Once an admin has cleared up the issue and created "articles" (not redirects) at all the entries, then work may continue to copyover and implement the correct info. Also, the R-number pages need to be disambiguated.

Also, I created infobox maps. Look in the category with all the SEPTA diagrams.

Thanks. Train2104 (talk) 00:34, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

OPRHP doesn't usually post the noms for at least a few months after the listing (Sometimes they had previously been available on their site as PDFs when the noms were under consideration by the state, but I don't remember this one). Daniel Case (talk) 18:24, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes it was construction at the Trump Tower Chicago. I am not going to contest the deletion because I don't forsee the image being used anywhere.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:25, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Do you want me to do something or are you going to move it or something?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:16, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not sure if I am suppose to do anything. You gave me no file name and I see nothing in your contribution history.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:18, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Woodhaven and Woodhaven Junction
Just noticed that you put in a separate link for the pre-grade separation station at the City Terminal Zone article.

I don't think these should be separate articles. The extant but closed station on the Atlantic Branch was essentially built as a direct replacement for both surface stations with "Woodhaven" in the name. The fact that "Junction" wasn't always use in the name of the post-separation station, as seen here, makes it even less clear which one the newer station was replacing. It doesn't help that they were only a few blocks from each other. For all intents and purposes they were merged into the new station.

I think the method you took with the Beaver Street Station at Jamaica (LIRR station) is the best, one article with section on the former, separate station is the best.oknazevad (talk) 23:56, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem is, the all time station list you linked too doesn't include a Trotting Horse Lane at all. And the sources at the Atlantic Branch article from Arrt's Archives doesn't either. In fact, I can find nothing on a station by that name on a Google search at all. Except that the name "Trotting Horse Lane" was a former name of what evolved into Woodhaven Blvd. (and is still the name of a small side street nearby) and that there was a grade crossing there in years past. In short, I think the Atlantic Branch article has a few errors on it, and it's listing non-station features as stations.
 * As for the Woodhavens, the old employee timetables Arrt's got on his site show that the two stations were 1/2 mile apart, which is a borderline case, but still well within the neighborhood, to the point where I think a single article would be acceptable. After all, this is mainline railroad, not rapid transit (despite the name of the old local service between Flatbush Ave and Jamaica).oknazevad (talk) 01:59, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hm, couldn't really see the map too well, it was too low res for my iPhone. NE2 is usually pretty careful about the info he adds. I don't know what exactly the situation was, but I have a strange feeling that the station in question was the Woodhaven Blvd. station, not a separate one. I think dropping a note at NE2's talk page for his sources is a good idea. oknazevad (talk) 05:04, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

HotCat
Have you ever used HotCat? It automates category changes like I've noticed that you've been doing today, and is all in all pretty handy. And it's listed as a gadget in the site preferences. If you've never used it, you should, because it looks like it would speed up the kind of stuff you're working on. SchuminWeb (Talk) 20:18, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Summer 2010 USRD newsletter

Input at WT:USRD requested.
I've gone ahead and tagged the ones between 1-25 for merge to the list. Thanks to the list these can start disappearing and we can put this long debate to end. However, please leave your input at here so we can try to work things out.Mitch32(Growing up with Wikipedia: 1 edit at a time.) 22:45, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Cut-Off edits
Yep. I've seen his edits. The article is a mess basically. It needs a total rewrite. As for all the unsourced additions he's making, I am in support of creating the articles, if they were made correctly, which they aren't. I have to say I don't like them. Pretty sure they could be rewritten into brand new articles covering their DL&W heritage. However, I am not proud of their current state.Mitch32(Transportation Historian) 23:48, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
