Hello I am robert an actual louisville resident I get my facts from the ridetarc website we actually do have 32 wifi enabled buses and the 12 new buses were put on the road last week feel free to take a pic and add it here thank you REMCNAIR87 Remcnair87 (talk) 13:33, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Whether we are residents or not (I am), it's best to add citations for facts added to the article. It's also best not to leave messes for others to clean up (why I had to revert before). If those things are not done, the "good article" status of this article may be put at risk. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 22:54, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

When can I upload photos Remcnair87 (talk) 18:54, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It appears you already are. But photos should be placed in the correct context, and in a manner that maintains aesthetic quality. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 22:54, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This time, I did a lot of cleanup instead of reverting, and I think more is necessary. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 00:16, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks stevietheman and I didn't mean to do that and talk to whoever barrelproof is and again I did not mean to do that I put a photo in the current fleet part of the page I am still a new wikipedian and I try to update where I can especially if the company garners a few new toys e.g.; buses the company in its integrity has been around for 40 years and I've been riding since childhood and I frequent their site it should only be allowed that locals update the Transit Authority of River City wiki page not outsiders because some of us locals tend to know more than an outsider would Remcnair87 (talk) 12:27, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Delist Consensus here is to delist. AIRcorn (talk) 10:57, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article has fallen into disrepair since it became a good article in 2009. It has seen a good deal of content expansion, but without appropriate citations to go with it. Significant amounts of the new content may be WP:OR. Also, the lead goes into too much detail (this may be much more easily fixed than other issues). I am asking for community reassessment because I am a major contributor to the article, and the major contributor who created much of the new content may object to me making a delist decision alone.

Delist. Transit Authority of River City does not presently fulfill the following GA Criteria:

1B: MOS:LEAD/lead is too detailed, much of this content belongs in the main body of the article if it can be sourced.
2B & 2C: original research everywhere - Current bus fleet section:unreferenced. First paragraph in "Fleet" section, many other individual statements: No references.
3A: Too much of the stated information & too many of the references are dated - this article is stuck in a 1988/1992/1994/2003/2005/2006/2008 time warp so how can it even begin to address the main and present aspects of the subject?
