Route information

I deleted the old "Route" section and replaced it with "Expansion". While it was detailed the old section seem to be derived from an out of date map (that it linked to) and included some inaccurate information.

That being said the `google' accessible information on the new lines is very vague for lines B & C or basically none existent for lines A & D. There also appears to be no publicly available route plan and the meccametro.com website is now offline.

For what it's worth the existing line SEEMS to be clearly marked on openstreetmaps at http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/85437355 Tjej (talk) 11:36, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion

This article seems to be conflating the Al Mashaaer Al Mugaddassah Metro and the four new lines which are planned. I'm not convinced they are the same thing: "four more metro lines in the city ... complement the 18 km Al Mashaaer Al Mugaddassah line".[1] News reports suggest Line A is not the same thing as the AMAMM line, and "Line E" in the article doesn't seem to appear in the sources. Wheeltapper (talk) 09:14, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the existing line off to its own page, and taken the names A-D from recent sources, rather than A-E. One news report said there will be no physical connection between the 4 new lines and the existing one, but I can't find it again. Wheeltapper (talk) 13:00, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Recent POV edits from possible partisan source

A number of edits recently have been made (December 2017) by User Monometro (talk) that rely on possibly partisan sources and that may transgress WP:NPOV. They present a case for the firm Monometro that relies exclusively on Monometro sources, and the user name for the editor is Monometro as well. I believe the edits are prejudicial and that they should be rolled back. I have added appropriate cleanup tags to the article. --papageno (talk) 04:06, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Qui1che: totally agree with you, but I dislike using rollback for edits that are not obvious vandalism. 1.02 editor (talk) 03:16, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, 1.02 editor. It appears SounderBruce (talk) has gone ahead and reverted things back to before Monometro's edits. I've manually restored three intermediate and legitimate edits, two by IP user 211.25.233.75 and one by the InternetArchiveBot, that were inadvertently deleted by User SounderBruce's rollback. --papageno (talk) 03:50, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
