Ceramic mural "gaffe"

[edit]

In the "Tile Work" section, the absence of the diagonal cable stays in the depiction of the Brooklyn Bridge is described as a "gaffe" but according to the Wikipedia article on the Brooklyn Bridge, the bridge was originally designed with only vertical cables, and the diagonal stays were only added later but evidently before the official opening of the bridge. It is very possible that the mural artist was working from pre-construction plans and was not notified of the design change. Rather than a "gaffe" the mural might very well be considered an interesting historical document of this design change. AlanSiegrist (talk) 16:27, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

spaced en dash

[edit]

I moved the article to get rid of the spaces around the en dash before I noticed that there are quite of few of these. What gives? Should I work on fixing, or give it up? Dicklyon (talk) 22:40, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The naming convention for the WikiProject New York City Public Transportation project specifys spacing around endashes per WP:MOSDASH. Acps110 (talkcontribs) 23:42, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
How odd. Probably they meant "in spite of WP:MOSDASH" since it doesn't allow such spaces in connections of this sort. Dicklyon (talk) 00:03, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I updated the naming convention per its talk page, to conform to MOSDASH. That made some red links, so there's clearly work to be done to actually conform to MOS. Let's see who balks before proceeding. Dicklyon (talk) 00:11, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's not what the MOS says. It specifically says to space endashes and not to space emdashes. I don't see where you are getting that an endash should be unspaced. All article titles in the project conform to this naming convention with spaced endashes. Acps110 (talkcontribs) 01:27, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's only for the case of a sentence dash, separating thoughts. For connecting parallel things, it's always unspaced (except for full date ranges). "The en dash in all of the compounds above is unspaced." Dicklyon (talk) 01:42, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I inquired at MOS: Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style#En_dash_spacing. Dicklyon (talk) 02:03, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion was started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation#Update naming convention? to see if consensus existed to change the naming convention to non-spaced endashes. That discussion has gone stale and there was no consensus for a change that would affect hundreds of article titles. I have moved page back to the spaced endashes per the naming convention.

Replacement for BMT's Park Row terminal

[edit]

Is there any way we can write in the fact that these stations replaced Park Row (BMT station)? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 14:48, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I will find a way when I have a chance.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:55, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead
History
Station layout
  • A corridor runs above the eastern side of the IRT station. - I'm guessing this is a pedestrian corridor. I don't know if you need to mention this, though.
  • Has the 1,280 passengers per minute figure changes since the station's construction?
BMT Nassau Street Line platforms
  • The Chambers Street station has four tracks, three island platforms, and one side platform (originally two); the westernmost side platform has been demolished, while the center island platform and the easternmost side platform are unused. - are the dates that this took place mentioned in the history section?
    • Yes. The "1960s to present" section states: The western side platform was demolished with the expansion of the IRT station between 1960 and 1962.
  • no less than 4 inches (100 mm) thick. - does this mean the width varies?
  • Inconsistent conversion between inches to millimeters and inches to centimeters.
Ridership
  • By contrast, ridership at the Chambers Street station declined significantly as development in Manhattan moved further northward.
  • Has ridership recovered since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic?
General comments
  • Images are properly licensed.

@Epicgenius: - once remaining comments are addressed, article should be good to go. Bneu2013 (talk) 14:01, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bneu2013: Thanks for the review. I think I've addressed the remaining issues now, except for inflation, which I should do tomorrow. Epicgenius (talk) 23:55, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good. Will be passing. Bneu2013 (talk) 03:28, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
