What's up with the Q21 bus?
Ok, this is weird! The Jan 1, 2012 Queens Map shows the Q21 terminating at Rockaway Park – Beach 116th Street, but the Winter 2012 schedule shows it turning the other way off of Cross Bay Blvd and terminating at Beach 67th Street.

Which is right? Acps110 (talk • contribs) 03:31, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The schedule is correct starting Sunday (service change). &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs) 03:38, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Forgive me...
Forgive me for thinking that photographs and history were actually relevant to your train project pages. If I knew how, I would delete the images that I uploaded for your pages, but alas, I can not. I suppose I misunderstood the licensing explanation, that listed images can be used with attribution. I won't be uploading any more, and I sincerely thank you for the "warm welcome." Emmyceru (talk) 19:00, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I've undid any further edits I made including all images, and have deleted all. I won't be "muddling up" your pages anymore. Thanks again for reminding me that I really didn't want to come back to Wikipedia. Emmyceru (talk) 19:20, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for flagging speedy deletions, but two of your recent requests relating to approved class projects as a part of the Wikipedia Canada Education Program have been reverted as they were seen harmful to the Wikipedia Education Program. Please be more careful in tagging things with speedy delete requests. Thank you. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 17:40, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

S-line templates
Hey,

I need your help. I want to convert all stations from Essex Street to Metropolitan Avenue to the S-line templates to do away with the duplicate information/railroad direction issues in the Station succession. I'm having little success figuring them out. Here's the mockup.

The problem I'm having is with the sub-templates that setup the names and links to the stations. Can you help me out with this? Acps110 (talk • contribs) 00:32, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * What exactly is the problem you're having? Colors? The red links? The fix for the links is to define every station in NYCS stations. That's not the most efficient way to go, but it will work for now. Are you planning on updating all of NYCT like this? &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs) 00:41, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I have only kludged the NYCS stations template together. I partially got it working with full links, but I can't figure out why the links on the accessible line don't work. I am NOT planning to do the entire system, because North and South adequately describe the rest of the system. Only for these stations does North and South cause problems.


 * I wasn't planning on using colors except for Essex Street, because that is the only station on a trunk line. The colors only belong to their trunk lines and have no meaning further out.


 * Can you explain how the left and right templates interact with the Stations template? Also, how should the default station be written? Acps110 (talk • contribs) 00:54, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Explanation

 * S-rail/lines defines the systems and their abbreviations.
 * NYCS lines defines the lines associated with a particular system (in this case, NYCS)
 * NYCS stations defines how the station names are displayed. (linking, etc.)
 * S-line/NYCS left/Myrtle and S-line/NYCS right/Myrtle define the termini that are associated with that particular line. The type parameter allows the definition of multiple termini for a particular line. Note that the names used in the definition of the parameters will be fed into NYCS stations to produce a display name.

In article usage, the previous and next parameters are fed into NYCS stations to produce what you see in the "towards" field. If next or previous is blank, it displays "Terminus"
 * I fixed the templates: make sure you understand what I did before moving on to the Jamaica Line! &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs) 01:22, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, I think I've got it now. I was close, but not quite there. Acps110 (talk • contribs) 01:32, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Alliance image
Are you sure about the licensing for File:Alliance roy03.jpg? Hikki Nagasaki only released the rights to his images; I thought images submitted by other people (Roy Blythe in this case) remained restricted. Mackensen (talk) 01:29, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * This appears one of those cases where an email would be required to clarify. the site says "You are free to use my photos on my website. No permission is required."  &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs) 01:38, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I've just re-read the email exchange the site maintainer and I had last fall and it confirms my understanding (his images are okay; other images are not). His site notice used to reiterate that too and that's a new wording. The old one didn't make the release explicit and we had some trouble here which lead to the OTRS ticket. That image probably has to go. Mackensen (talk) 13:37, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If you have the email exchange as proof, you can CV-tag it. &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs) 00:58, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

SEPTA Route 44
Instead of completley deleting the SEPTA Route 44 article, why not just redirect it to SEPTA City Transit Division surface routes? DanTD (talk) 00:11, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * UPDATE - Okay, so you did it already. DanTD (talk) 00:14, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Brookhaven Rail Terminal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Main Line (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

13th Street/Juniper (SEPTA station) Revisited
I know you said that the proof of the name change for 13th/Juniper (SEPTA station) is gone, but is there any chance you still have the link, and can post it on Internet Archive? DanTD (talk) 16:27, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Zero chance, because the link is the same page that SEPTA uses over and over again to post their schedule updates. &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs) 19:54, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: User:My1xTreme
Hello Train2104. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:My1xTreme, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: no harm in a user redirecting his user page to his talk page. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 19:48, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Now that the talk page is created, I'm fine the detag. &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs) 19:49, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk pages CSD
Hey Train2104, instead of tagging blanked talk pages of valid articles for speedy deletion, try converting them to WikiProject tags instead. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:51, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Script-assisted CSD tagging
If you're CSD-tagging articles using a script, please make sure you're accounting for redirects with content, like User:Lil8ball184. -- slakr \ talk / 01:26, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
 * That's the disadvantage of tagging right off a database report...I'll try to catch them next time. &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs) 01:30, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
