Looks like your typical manhole explosion, which is not really that uncommon. Please don't put this on the article again. 67.84.106.13 (talk) 00:00, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're almost home, but do get fresh eyes on this page. Alt text is the largest hangup, and then there are a few commas to add/remove here and there. 7-day hold to Epicgenius. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 05:31, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 17:29, 21 December 2022 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: @Epicgenius: Good article. I do think that alts2 and 3 can still be a holiday hook considering the fact that there are 3 open slots still left. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:38, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Express text on track layout

[edit]

I tried (maybe poorly) to fix what I thought was some ambiguity to a layperson coming to this article. I still think it's unclear, as there are a lot of assumptions being made about what the reader will know about the NYC subway system; i.e. "Southbound local" and "southbound express" refer to 8th Avenue local and 8th Avenue express, respectively. The station doesn't have any tracks for the Sixth Avenue Line, and the notation "(incoming)" is not clear." I know it's true, but is there any quickly-readable (by a newcomer) piece of text that explains why this is the case? Tduk (talk) 18:28, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does it really need the "express/local" text at all? It might be enough to simply have the text up there and the reader will have to look elsewhere to learn more. Tduk (talk) 19:02, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
