Orphaned Station Pages

There are currently a bunch of separate pages for Metrolink stations from North Hanley to Forest Park that are inaccesible from the main page here. Since each of the station pages has very little info to offer, would it not be better to merge those pages into this Metrolink page somehow? A station list of sorts. --Millbrooky 18:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• The stations seem to have been linked in the interim, along with new articles for the rest of the Missouri stations and a few in Illinois. I'd suggest adding stub tags and trying to gather more material for them. Lordsutch 06:23, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
  • The idea that each individual MetroLink Station is notable seems crazy to me. Grand Central Station is notable. Individual Metrolink stations are not. Can't we just include any relevant information on this page and then delete the individual station pages? TMS63112 16:32, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Sort of what I was arguing a while ago that without any notable information, the individual station pages should be deleted. For example, the Union Station (St. Louis Metrolink) fails to add any information aside from the obvious that it is near St. Louis Union Station. Park and Ride information does not deserve a separate page. --Millbrooky 15:23, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

new stations

I know the new Skinker station opened today, as well as several others. How should these be added? — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 12:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:St Louis Metro Logo.gif

Image:St Louis Metro Logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Red/Blue Lines Update

I took the liberty of doing some line descriptions with matching colorized titles, added some pictures I took, etc. to the page. If someone feels like proofreading it so that way it doesn't look like it's droning on incessantly or something I'd appreciate it. We still need to add some more pictures to the page, and somehow make one of those maps where you can click on stations and it will direct you to that stations respective page (as seen in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broad_Street_Subway under Route map) if someone has any idea how to do that or knows a place where to make a request to do that.

P.S according to a memo from Metros website metrolink ridership increased about 10-11 thousand to around 77.5 thousand a day.

Thanks for the additions. I'll see about better incorporating what you wrote into the article. May I ask which memo you've seen that mentions the increased ridership? --Millbrooky (talk) 15:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

http://metrostlouis.org/InsideMetro/NewsRoom/releases/2008-027AprilRidership.pdf shows record ridership which when divided equals something to the tune of 77k
