Talk:Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line

Latest comment: 5 years ago by RMCD bot in topic Move discussion in progress

Why?? edit

Why is this considered one line with 2 discontinuous segments as opposed to 2 lines with the same name?? Georgia guy (talk) 23:44, 28 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Some inner technical reasons of Moscow Metro. AFAIK, both segments are assigned to the same maintaining division (actually called "Kaliniskaya", without "-Solntsevskaya" as yet). YLSS (talk) 01:01, 29 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
And they are shown with the same color on the map to visualize this.--Ymblanter (talk) 04:39, 29 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 11 December 2017 edit

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved as proposed for all, including late additions (a substantial number of additional support votes coming after these). bd2412 T 18:46, 19 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

– These are names of metro lines in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus (Moscow, Kiev, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Minsk), transliterated from Cyrillic. Move to lowercase Line per usual WP style, since sources do not support treating these as proper names (same as rail and metro lines in most countries). And dash, not hyphen, between place names. See ongoing RFC at WP:VPPOL#RfC: Russian railway line article titles. Dicklyon (talk) 03:18, 11 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • As nom of course I support this, and commit to doing all the post-move cleanup so that the names visible in articles will be consistent. We've had a ton of discussions on such styling through various European and Asian countries over the last year and more, which all found a consensus to follow the advice of WP:NCCAPS and MOS:CAPS (I admit that's been somewhat less successful in the US so far, esp. in the NYC subway system, where indefensible line over-capitalization still abounds; patience). Note that the Cyrillic provides no clue as to whether "line" should be considered part of a proper name or not, since they would do it lowercase either way (if Russian rules as I understand them apply also in Ukraine and Belarus). So we go with the usual interpretation that these are descriptions of lines based on one place or two places that the lines connect (not necessarily the end places, since lines can grow without being renamed). That's also the justification for the en dash, the mark used between place names in a symmetric relation in our style, per MOS:DASH. In WP style, a hyphen in this context makes no sense (though other styles may use a hyphen as the orthographic representation for the function of a dash, our MOS is explicit that we don't, not in titles, not no how. Please Support moving toward consistency with our MOS. Dicklyon (talk) 04:00, 11 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Support We should work to be more consistent with the MOS where we can. While there will be some effort involved in making the transition, it’s entirely doable. Many of the articles that were posted over from Russian do not have consistent formatting and over time, editors have shied away from handling larger projects like this. I’ll assist with the transition in any way that I can. TastyPoutine talk (if you dare) 04:18, 11 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Support—per Poutine and nom. Sensible moves. Tony (talk) 12:41, 11 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per WP:NCCAPS, MOS:CAPS, MOS:PN, MOS:DASH, and for WP:CONSISTENCY with piles of previous RMs about "line" and "station" in article (mindful of rare proper-name exceptions, like Grand Central Station (Chicago)). All of this is routine cleanup of misuse of hyphens and (in English descriptive titles that are not Russian proper names) of over-capitalization. The only "controversy" about this was manufactured by a socking and disruptive anon. I would say "wait for the RfC to close", but it's a WP:SNOWBALL; the only responses other than the anon's WP:BLUDGEON text-walling are either to do exactly what this RM says, or to "follow the sources", which will result in doing exactly what this RM says.  — SMcCandlish ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ʌ<  07:01, 12 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment: This would also affect the template {{Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya Line RDT}} by moving it to {{Kalininsko–Solntsevskaya line RDT}}; there may be others. This was among the original RM/TR moves that triggered this RM, but isn't listed in the moves above. (If it becomes listed, feel free to remove this entire comment.)  — SMcCandlish ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ʌ<  07:01, 12 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
I’ll add the following per SMcCandlish.
Also, one line was missed in the initial nom, so adding that as well hopefully without objection.

Thanks, I had not noticed the "under construction" section at Template:Moscow Metro Lines.
I was thinking of the titles in these templates as part of uncontroversial "cleanup". Template names are not exposed to users, so have no particular need to conform to our style, but I would usually go ahead and do that as uncontroversial after the main articles are moved. So, let's keep them here but not add them to the official RM proposal. I'll add the missing line. Dicklyon (talk) 16:29, 12 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Support en-dash (with redirects created from hyphens where these don't currently exist), I haven't investigated how sources capitalise "line" but they should be capitalised unless sources consistently use lower case. Thryduulf (talk) 03:02, 14 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
    User:Thryduulf: User:Dicklyon claimed something that is not true. "since sources do not support treating these as proper names" is an incorrect statement.
    "capitalised unless sources consistently use lower case" is not a sensible interpretation of our usual style, per MOS:CAPS, nor consistent with how we do this in most other countries. Dicklyon (talk) 03:49, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

92.227.45.181 has said something that is not true, which is that what I said is not true. To determine what's true here, you need to understand what it means for sources to support interpretation as a proper name. See MOS:CAPS, which says "consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources", which these are not. Travel guides such as Rough Guide to Moscow use lowercase line, as do various other sources. Dicklyon (talk) 03:45, 14 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
Following up on his examples, take a look at better sources (books, news):
  • Sokolnicheskaya Line – books, news; mostly lowercase "line".
  • Ulitsa Novatorov-Stolbovo Line – just one source, capped
  • Kakhovskaya Line – books; mostly lowercase "line".
  • Circle Line – books, news; mostly lowercase "line".
  • Filevskaya Line – books, news; mostly lowercase "line".
  • Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line – books, news; mostly lowercase "line" (more caps in news though).

  • Support – Sounds like a good move forward. (I was canvassed by an IP editor.) Michael Z. 2017-12-14 18:34 z

Redirect edit

Aviamotornaya Escalator accident in 1982 redirects to Kalininsko–Solntsevskaya line#Escalator accident in 1982, but this section is no more here, the accident is described in the Aviamotornaya page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.122.203.38 (talk) 17:47, 12 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
