What station is this?

Location questions have been moved to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation/Unidentified locations.

William Louis Sonntag

I have found two files with the same painting. One file is categorized under William Louis Sonntag and the other under William Louis Sonntag Jr., his son. Which is correct? Vcohen (talk) 12:53, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

42 St Shuttle reconstruction project

The 42 St Shuttle reconstruction project was announced to end in March 2022. In September 2021 the new platforms opened. Did the project continue after that? If it did, did it end in March? Vcohen (talk) 13:15, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There was still some work on street entrances. One was closed as part of the project, as it led to the now-closed track 4 platform, while a new one opened to replace it. That is what they finished up last month. oknazevad (talk) 13:32, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User script to detect unreliable sources

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

  • John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Does anyone know if there is an in-system connection between those stations? The 3 and L train maps on the MTA website says there is no longer a free out-of-system transfer between them and I have seen recent YouTube videos of the in-system elevator and passageway, but know they are not reliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:2601:B81:790D:2EF3:E811:3C91 (talk) 18:41, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, the free out-of-system connection introduced during the Canarsie Line reconstruction has become permanent, and an in-system connection is under construction. The videos, I guess, are of the ADA-upgrades made at the Livonia Avenue station. Vcohen (talk) 13:19, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Long-term Queens Boulevard CBTC works affects evening and overnight service

We have a new project in our midst, which means we need to get to work my friends.

F trains are now local in Queens during overnight hours again. I have updated the table to reflect this change. A press release was made regarding this [1]here, and the late night map has been updated to show the F stopping at all Queens Boulevard local stations [2]here. —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 14:50, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
