Red Bank (NJT station) origins
I know you're mostly into former Erie Railroad-related stuff, but I assume you know about other lines acquired by New Jersey Transit, so I have to ask; Which railroad built the original Red Bank (NJT station)? Raritan and Delaware Bay Railroad, or the New York and Long Branch Railroad? I've been hoping to use the info to expand the article for quite some time. ---User:DanTD (talk) 17:35, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter
A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. , who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

WikiCup 2014 April newsletter
Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits.

High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from, tiger from and The Lion King from. We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to and  for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.

NY 22/128 realignment in Armonk
I just finished Bedford Road Historic District, where the NRHP nom goes into some detail about the effect of building the NY 22 bypass after IBM moved there and the realignments of both it and NY 128 as a result. So I discussed it in the article, but it strikes me that we have absolutely no mention of this in the NY 22 article. This surprises me, since not only is it an FA after all but I'd think this was of some importance since it seems to be one of the most significant changes to Route 22 since it was designated.

Is there anything out there that we could use for this? Knowing you I'm sure you have looked, but I thought I'd ask all the same.

I suppose I could ask the North Castle historian or historical society if they have some local news articles from that time saved, as I might get in touch with them anyway to see if they have some more sources for the historic-district article. Daniel Case (talk) 12:33, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Edit summary
Hello, Mitchazenia.

I have something makes me feel burdensome. I created imperfect edit summaries on my old revisions in page here and here. Please edit those edit summaries with the right wiki markup.

 * 1) Your edit summary was far more arrogant than him reverting an unclear question regarding something he knows nada about off hand, more than likely.
 * 2) Don't worry about being perfect in edit summaries. It's a summary and people will figure it out
 * 3) I don't believe an admin can do this, only someone with RevDel permissions, which is a Bureaucrat if I'm not mistaken.

Yikes, sorry about my edit summary, it was meant because I thought I sent out an old revision accidentally of this page. Looking at the edit history, I didn't send out that old revision though and it looks like my edit summary is insulting you when it totally wasn't meant too (I thought I was calling myself out when my old revision didn't even go through!) I'm sorry! Bmg916 (talk) 15:09, 8 July 2014 (UTC)


 * (Left this on my talk page too)I guess we can remove the Inactive and restricted lists, that might clear up some of the clutter. People might wonder where Sizemore and Aceves went, but since they're the only the people on their respective lists, it could be worth removing them to make things easier on the eyes.

We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. ,, , , , and  have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.

There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.

There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum.

Erie Railroad Produce Dock
I recently asked about some 1970's images of an Erie Railroad produce shipping yard on the talk page for the Pavonia Ferry article. Tonight I realized I should've asked you about it. Was that produce facility the replacement for the 23rd Street/Pavonia Terminal? I actually tried to look for it on an old Hagstroms map of Manhattan and The Bronx, and I got no info about it. -User:DanTD (talk) 23:18, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
