207th Street opening

Another nycsubway.org conflict … The article "The History of the Independent Subway" says (or at least implies) that 207th Street opened with the rest of the Eighth Avenue Line, down to Chambers/Hudson Terminal, but the station entry says that it opened a few months later. Which is true? --Larry V (talk | contribs) 02:55, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, okay, now I'm wondering why this says Feb 11, 1933. --Larry V (talk | contribs) 03:32, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Dean Street

Sorry....I was editing quickly. However, I haven't seen anything there that the infobox can't handle. Marc Shepherd 04:13, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Jamaica Line north/south

Is railroad north on the Jamaica Line still towards Chambers Street, and south towards Parsons/Archer? --Larry V (talk | contribs) 02:14, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, so then on Jamaica Line articles, "next north" should be the next towards Manhattan, and "next south" the next towards Jamaica Center… What about for Nassau Street, and for Chambers Street itself? --Larry V (talk | contribs) 12:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I posted on SubChat, and someone pointed me to the J schedule, which shows north as Jamaica Center and south as Broad. --Larry V (talk | contribs) 17:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Understood… I'm working on a table for New York City Subway chaining, listing the chaining codes, north/south, zero points, etc. based on this. I'll ask you to check it over when I'm done, in case some of the info is wrong or I made a typo or something. --Larry V (talk | contribs) 18:47, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

NYCS Chaining

To clarify: Although BMT M began at Sands St, was that its chaining zero point as well? Same for BMT N: was Myrtle/Hudson both north point and chaining zero? --Larry V (talk | contribs) 16:40, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I know that BMT N chaining zero was Park Row, but did N chaining actually begin there? (That is, was there N chaining across the Brooklyn Bridge, or did N start at Myrtle/Hudson at some non-zero number?)

I think I got it now; your explanation is much-appreciated. --Larry V (talk | contribs) 15:16, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

57th/7th

I've decided to concede the argument over 57th/7th, mainly because I respect your opinion more than that of HenryS. I also respect how you more or less made the same points as he did without inserting personal attacks. Thanks. --Larry V (talk | contribs) 19:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hello admin. Could please have a look at Tajiks. This user is kind of vandalizing the article by removing and changing the text, removing pictures, and inserting suspicious pictures in. Thx Tājik 02:56, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Botanic Garden

Thanks for the headsup on the copy tag on the Botanic Garden image. Yes, I took it in the late 70s...roughly 1977 or 1978. Drgitlow 18:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Token Sucking

I can honestly say that that is the most disgusting thing I've heard in a while. Thanks for correcting me. It just seemed a little too ridiculous to be true. Did the token booth attendant do anything about it? Alphachimp ^talk 23:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

MORE Subway Changes

Hey Cecropia,

These subway vandals are back. A new IP user has vandalized the B and D articles. I believe they are the same ones that took part of the Sept. 9th Vandalism. This is starting to get dumb. Can you do something about them? --Imdanumber1 ( Talk | contribs) 22:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Rvs

Look! Rev war --Xandi 23:14, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

You made a good point making that suggestion to Marc Shepherd. We all need to take a break, and the best we can do is hope that he comes back. --Imdanumber1 ( Talk | contribs) 23:56, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

New subway table

I have created a new subway table that you probably would like to see. It can be seen at the WP:NYCS talk page, as well as my sandbox subpage. It is already getting attention from other users, and I thought you would like to see it too. Hope you like it. --Imdanumber1 ( Talk | contribs) 23:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

we should rename Palestinian political violence to Palestinian terrorism

I propose to rename the article title Palestinian political violence to Palestinian terrorism because the Palestinian terrorists are terrorists. They go around purposely killing innocent people to have their political goal which is eliminating Israel. The Palestinian terrorism is the right name for the article.

seeking opinion on The Tale of Genji project

Hello Cecropia, I know that we have clashed in the past regarding Great Expectations, but I was seeking your opinion about a proposed project about The Tale of Genji. I know that you likely haven't read this, but anyway... I and another Wikipedia tossed about the idea of a WikiProject centered around this novel, in which each chapter would have its own page, and each character would have its own page, and it would all be linked together. I know that you favor in depth story summaries, and this idea would be along those same lines, except split across many pages, and linked to the parent article.

Keep in mind that this is something that I would not develop for a long time, because I would have to reread Genji and take notes. I should also say that I find myself somewhere in the middle between inclusionists and deletionists, so I am unsure whether a project like this would be more appropriate here or on Wikibooks. Thanks for your opinion. --Kyoko 18:35, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

You might be interested in this

Jim, MONGO has nominated an RfA for me at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Doug Bell. I'm not here to solicit your participation, although I welcome it. I just wanted to let you know since you were mentioned specifically in one of the additional questions posed by Jasper toll (talk · contribs). (Oddly, that was the first and only edit by that user, so it is a likely sockpuppet, although there was no apparent agenda in the question itself.) —Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 19:00, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

New Subway Service Information table consensus at WP:NYCS

There is a new subway service table being proposed at the WP:NYCS talk page. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Subway#Subway Service Information and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Subway#Hybrid Icons for discussion details, then see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Subway#Hybrid Icons for discussion details, then go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Subway#Subway Service Information table consensus to cast your vote. I really hope you vote support. Thanks! --Imdanumber1 ( Talk | contribs) 01:23, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Metro Wiki

I've noted that you put in a lot of data on NYC subway lines. I wonder if you'd be interested in helping me.

Several months ago someone established a Metro Wiki, intended to be a Wiki about subways, and then did nothing about it. A couple of days ago, I discovered it, noticed that it's been totally inactive, and asked for (and got) authorization to take on the Wiki as my own. For now, it really just needs to get all the important articles copied from Wikipedia, and links to things that really don't have any business in a transit-oriented Wiki either removed or modified so they'll point to the article in Wikipedia. With time, the articles may be further edited so they will not be identical to the ones in Wikipedia, but that's not an immediate goal. Would you be interested in helping with this task? If so, you can reply to me or just begin copying articles.

I hope to see you on //metro.wikia.com -- BRG 21:43, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

request from User: Vaoverland

Hi! I have been busy working on Wikipedia: WikiProject Virginia and several other projects with User: No1lakersfan most of this past year, partially in preparation and supprt of the Jamestown 2007 event. He is now a high school senior hopping to gain admittance to one of Virginia's public university for the Fall 2007 semester. Following advice, he has done maintenance and reference adding work, as well spending time on articles. He is a good collaborator and I believe he would enhance our efforts with WP as an administrator and use the additional tools and powers wisely. Since you know me from our past communications, I wanted to request that you consider entering a vote, hopefully in support, if you agree with my judgment and recommendation at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/No1lakersfan 2.

• Please feel free to communicate with me on my Talk page at User talk: Vaoverland if you have any questions or reservations. Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season. Thanks, Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia Vaoverland 23:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
