Bus line edits

Just to clear up some stuff about the bus line edits:

Regarding the "average" lengths, I may have misinterpreted the meaning of the "Average Route Length" field in the TSPR while updating the ridership/lengths to 2023 data. I don't quite remember in what specific way I had interpreted it, but after rereading the description I do agree that changing most of them to using the GTFS data was probably unnecessary. I do remember making those changes after noticing that the "average route length" of the R5 as provided in the 2023 report (12.5 km) seems far shorter than the distance from SFU to Downtown, but it seems the length in the 2018 report remains accurate. (Though for R6 Scott Rd, the only source I could find for route length was in the GTFS data, since the 2024 TSPR is not out yet.)

For the 99 B-Line route lengths, I simply took the lengths from the GTFS data (specifically from shapes.txt). After some more inspection, I now realize the differing lengths in that file come from the fact that the distance travelled within bus exchanges is included in the westbound route but not the eastbound, so I suppose the difference doesn't exactly matter.

Britt Robertson

Hello, I noticed you removed my edits to this article clarifying the different names this actress has used in her career, putting in a vaguer explanatory sentence in. If you feel it's "too early" to rename the article to Britt Robertson-Floyd, fine, I didn't argue with that, but I otherwise disagree with your position and find the priorr wording clearer and the inclusion of when she used one name or another to be worthwhile information for someone reading up about this person.

PS didn't ignore you... it hasn't even been a week.
When someone changes to a married name is possibly entirely irrelevant (unless there's some weird case where they then became easily confused with another person) and definitely not significant enough for the lead. Should we mention they've gone by other names? In most cases, yes (if they were notable under the other name(s). Do we need to include a timeline of that in the lead? No. And currently as you have it, you've only included the time for the latest name change (please note this does 100% NOT mean I think we should be providing an entire timeline... just pointing out the inconsistency and WP:UNDUE of highlighting a married name over others).
You also are editing in against MOS:NICKNAME: Anyone can figure out where "Britt" comes from if someone is named "Brittany". —Joeyconnick (talk) 17:53, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
