Naming

[edit]

I'm not very sure that "Bay Ridge–95th Street" is the "official" name, per se. The MTA is very fuzzy on station names. While it is called Bay Ridge often (on The Map, for example), the signage in the station still reads simply "95th Street." What is "official" is highly ambiguous; this is something about the MTA that irritates me to no end. —Larry V (talk) 21:54, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that the station name is 95th St, but that "Bay Ridge" is the name of the neighborhood it's in. It's on the official map since announcements and platform signs often say that it is Bay Ridge-bound train. Same deal with Stillwell Avenue/Coney Island, where they will announce the stop before, "This is a Coney Island bound train. Next stop, Stillwell Avenue."

As for if 95th St really is in Bay Ridge or Fort Hamilton, my understanding of that is that Fort Hamilton is a sub-neighborhood inside of Bay Ridge. Besides, I don't think there are exact borders to many of the neighborhoods in Brooklyn, at least not that I could find. Jibberuski 10:59, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, i will try to gradually review all the stations on the 4th Ave line. Expect comments soon 1.02 editor (T/C) 10:09, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

[edit]

The problems on this article (and for the rest of the articles about stations on this line) are quite similar. Besides that the article is ok except for a few things, and there is no copyvio

  • History should be mentioned in the lead.
  • Is there even opposite direction transfer in the station since it only goes in one direction?
  • What happened to the planned extension to staten island? it should be briefly mentioned in the article.
  • 'in preparation of the construction of platform extensions to W. M. Walsh Corporation for $6,585.' I think something is missing here.
    • Reworded.
  • Source needed for the claim that it is the geographical westernmost station.
    • Removed.
  • Maybe the image in station layout could be moved to the right below that track layout
    • Done.

Review completed, will allow it to run for longer so that you have time to make changes. 1.02 editor (T/C) 03:53, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kew Gardens 613, no problem. @1.02 editor: Can I ask that you defer making the decision about whether to promote all the 4th Avenue Line pages until Thursday at the earliest? I would like to nominate these all as part of a single DYK. epicgenius (talk) 23:14, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Passing. 1.02 editor (T/C) 00:32, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.

Improved to Good Article status by Kew Gardens 613 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 01:57, 23 April 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • A new hook is probably needed here as well as both hooks appear to have a limited audience and may not interest those who aren't from New York or aren't familiar with infrastructure (disclosure: I also discussed this with the nominator over at Discord, I'm leaving this comment here as well for transparency purposes).

That sounds better, but unfortunately I may not have the time to be able to review both articles. Hopefully someone else can take a look here. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:05, 21 May 2020 (UTC
