Bruckner Expressway Exit List

I see that you reformatted the exit list for the Bruckner Expressway back in early October 2014. You should've added some Bronx neighborhoods, like what you can find in the exit list for the Cross Bronx Expressway. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 04:03, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Will do, thanks for the tip! c16sh (speak up) 22:09, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. Nice job. I'm going to hide the To-Do tag. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 23:27, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Holland Tunnel

On 17 February 2013, with this edit, you added "Clifford Milburn Holland Tunnel" as the name of the tunnel. Why did you do this, and what source led you to believe that this is the correct official name of the tunnel, which it is not? BMK (talk) 23:45, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

If you look at the version of the page just before that edit (which was almost two years ago), the infobox states that the official name of the tunnel had Holland's full name. Therefore, my intentions must have been to further clarify what had already been present in the article since 2007. c16sh (speak up) 22:15, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, I didn't notice that in the infobox. BMK (talk) 05:53, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

DCint

You may want to stop messing with {{DCint}}. Some of your improvements are not. Setting "Washington" to display as the county is an inaccuracy. It should appear as if it were an independent city. Imzadi 1979  05:22, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Sorry about that. What are your thoughts on using more specific information when the county column is hidden (see here)? Thanks c16sh (speak up) 05:28, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
I wouldn't use anything for a location column. The entire highway segment that's the subject of that article passes through one city. Imzadi 1979  05:44, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Some article got set to use the quadrants of DC as a pseudo-location, and I don't remember which one, but that might be an option, but neighborhoods don't seem like a good choice. Imzadi 1979  05:47, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Former names in NYC Subway station articles

Hi c16sh, I noticed you added former names to the headers of the infoboxes in some NYC Subway articles. However, just a heads up that these stations' former names are already mentioned further down in the infobox, and there's no need to put the former names so prominently in the infobox header.

Missouri junction list

FYI, there is a map/route log for Missouri located at https://www6.modot.mo.gov/hpmaps. We can then cite it with <ref>{{MoDOT Flex}}</ref>. –Fredddie 02:14, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind for the future. c16sh (speak up) 04:14, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Wyoming (NYT Station)

Hi. I'm writing about one of your edits a few months ago to the Morristown Line article, to which I see you're an important contributor. I had a meeting in Chatham yesterday and so I had occasion to ride this line from New York to Chatham for the very first time. I used the Wikipedia article as a guide, and was intrigued by the redlinked entry for a former station at Wyoming, between South Orange and Maplewood. (I'll admit that I hadn't previously heard of a Wyoming, New Jersey at all.) I kept my eyes open, but didn't see any relics of the former station, so I was just curious how you know it was there. Are there sources that reference it that I could add to the article? I'm just curious about this, but any information would be welcome. Best regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:36, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Terminus markings

These are superfluous to the rest of the article which explains that information. Mitch32(The created world is but a small parenthesis in eternity.) 03:45, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Infobox templates

Please do not remove unused fields from infobox template that can conceivab;y be used by other editors in the future. Thanks. BMK (talk) 12:24, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

While I agree with your reasoning, it is important to note that there are some fields that cannot be used when others are present. For example, if length_mi is used for the length of a road, then length_ft, length_m, and length_km aren't necessary. In fact, Infobox street states that "only one should be used." The same goes for east and west on streets that run east–west. An east–west street has streets that parallel to the north and south, but east and west aren't necessary. Hope this clears up any confusion, c16sh (speak up) 21:13, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

NYC Subway service legends

Hi, I noticed that you were improving the station tables in NYC Subway service articles. Thank you for that.

I know you mean well by editing the NYCS service legends. However, please don't remove the service legends that are not used for the particular service. These times are notated for other services, in the "Transfers" column of that table. If you remove them, the icons in the "Transfers" section will no longer make sense. Epic Genius (talk) 23:08, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

OK, thanks for your note. I appreciate the explanation, and will keep this in mind in my future edits. c16sh (speak up) 04:19, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
