Talk:Santa Fe Depot (San Diego)

Coaster terminus is Old Town? Really?

I rode the Coaster north last Wednesday, and the train went all the way to Oceanside. I know, because I rode it until the end of the line.

OK, I apologize for the sarcasm, but it's true. Old Town is the first stop out of downtown San Diego, and only a few miles at that. How can it possibly be the terminus? What would be the point of that? 68.111.193.193 (talk) 05:32, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

I'll wait a while until someone says something to clear this up, then I'll edit accordingly.68.111.193.193 (talk) 05:32, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're remarking on. The infobox for this article clearly marks Union Station as the Coaster terminus, not Old Town. Conifer (talk) 06:17, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

GA Re-Review and In-line citations

Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

GA Reassessment

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Union Station (San Diego)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment. This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

• "The magnificent complex ...". If "magnificent" is a quote, then it needs to be attributed. Otherwise it looks like peacock language.

• "... as a 'monumental reminder'... ". Quotations need to be attributed.

• "... as intended to harmonize with the Spanish Colonial Revival Style buildings of the Exposition". What Exposition?

• "The new edifice featured a covered concourse some 650 feet (198.1 m) long by 106 feet (32.3 m) wide, with a main waiting room measuring 170 feet by 55 feet." Need to consistently provide conversions from imperial to metric throughout the article.

• "The grand interior space of the depot ..". Who says it's "grand"?

• What's the source for the information in the second paragraph of Architecture?

• Relevant pictures in the two galleries need to be incorporated into the body of the article. Those that can't be should be linked to in commons.

• "Though some have claimed that the facility was built merely to appease the citizens of San Diego, the Santa Fe Depot remains an important part of the City's history, culture, and economy." Who are these some? Needs referencing to a reliable source.

• As these issues remain outstanding, this article has now been delisted. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 13:58, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

The first SD&A Train Arriving (photo)

This is an error. The train shown is not the first train arriving. It is coming from the wrong direction, and has the wrong consist for the first arriving train. The stated date of that train is correct for the first arriving train.

The photo *may* be of the first *departing* train.
