Why is the text in the tables grey? --Badger151 (talk) 03:45, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"In 2009, there were disputes about the locations of the station entbrances" I'm assuming you meant entrances?
- Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out! epicgenius - (talk) 12:46, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sources 5,28, 36, 38, 68, and 70 all no longer exist, so these will have to be either replaced or removed from the article.
- Refs #5 and 68 were combined, with #5's url being replaced. #28's url is replaced. #36 is totally replaced with another reference, as is #70. Meanwhile, #38 will be archived later. epicgenius - (talk) 12:46, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Other than the above issues the article looks very good and is very well written. Perhaps I may review more of your articles! Will211 |Chatter 04:57, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have a few other GA's that are available for review, if that's what you mean. epicgenius - (talk) 12:46, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I am passing the article now. Will211 |Chatter 03:17, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Effects

I noticed that the Effects section, which I and User:Epicgenius recently edited is repeated in pre-edited form in our articles on the other two new 2nd Ave stations. If we can agree on wording I think we should replace the text in the other two articles, or maybe move the paragraph from the station articles to the Second Avenue Subway article.--agr (talk) 04:10, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ArnoldReinhold: I would definitely like to come to a consensus about the preferred wording, then replace it in the other two articles. The reason the paragraph is repeated in the three articles (and also in the main Second Avenue Subway article) is because the effects are also localized to the stations themselves. epicgenius (talk) 04:38, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: I made an edit pass. I did not see any support for "since the 1990s" in the source given so I used more general wording. See what you think. Maybe we should add a comment to the text we include in the three articles suggesting any edits be coordinated with the others.--agr (talk) 15:39, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Grammar

So my edit to be grammatically correct, which English teachers and professors want, was reversed. I redid the edit and now I have a question to ask. Wikipedia may not be reliable, but that shouldn’t mean be different in language from the sources used as evidence. Tell me guys, is Wikipedia for a general audience or people who love to break English rules? Wikis6501 (talk) 18:51, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
