Hi Pi: Do you know of a tool that let's one search many wiki's at once? E.g. all the English wikipedias, including commons? Be useful, at least, whenever a move/rename gets suggested. Thanks either way — Lentower ( talk) 20:18, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
I noticed that you're renaming a lot of image files with more-descriptive names, a very useful improvement. You seem to be using a script to make this otherwise-tedious process more efficient. Could you tell me how you're doing the renames? I probably won't do much renaming on the MBTA articles, since you're doing a great job already. I've been putting off cleaning up filenames in other areas because of the amount of work involved doing it systematically by hand. I'd appreciate any pointers you can offer.

Hello Ege! I've started taking upon the task of creating templates for the Montreal Metro. I'm a bit rusty, so I started with the easiest (shortest) line first, and this is the result: Template:STM Blue Line. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you! BostonUrbEx ( talk) 17:39, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
In the AfD you say "If old observational images (i.e, notebook sketches) from observations at the time can be found, I would reconsider." In fact, many such images exist, going back to Galileo (1612, before cycle 1). Existing Wikimedia images cover cycles 2, 12, 14, 20, and 22 onwards. -- 101.117.91.154 ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 05:36, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the shoutout on my naming standards! To some extent it came naturally. I'm very town oriented, so it was important to me to have the town in the name. And I'm Wikipedia article oriented, so the first part of the name is often the name of the article. My only regret is that on some of my early pictures, I spell out the state. I soon moved to 2 letter code. Faolin42 ( talk) 13:56, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Dear Pi,
could you update this diagram and publish the data as CSV?-- Kopiersperre ( talk) 20:43, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
Would you be so kind as to point me where in the talk section this problem is mentioned ? I see no problem calling rape culture a hypothesis, a theory or a social theory. My source of concern come from the designation of rape culture as a scientific theory. By its very nature , true or false ,the rape culture theory is not testable , and cannot make any falsifiable prediction. In order to comply with the scientific method , the rape culture hypothesis would need to be widely accepted by objective social scientists (inside as much as outside feminist academia). As I pointed out in my last edit , the lead paragraph of the article claim that there is a disagreement about the definition of rape culture itself, which discard it as a scientific theory. No explanation can achieve a higher status than a scientific theory. You cannot objectively put rape culture on the same level as evolution theory , plate tectonic theory and the big bang theory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.50.69.45 ( talk) 04:16, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I believe your photo of the Peck Tavern in Lisbon, CT, is of the wrong building. (You can compare to the National Register photos; the buildings differ in some pretty obvious elements.) Based on satellite imagery, it looks like the building you pictured is on the west side of the street, while the tavern is on the east. Is it possible the street numbers have changed?

I recently created {{ St. Lawrence and Atlantic line map}}, which you kindly corrected for me. The main purpose was that creators of some articles for the former GTR stations along that line were putting every one of those in the "See also" section of the articles. They are adequately covered by the category and otherwise do not directly relate. I only created the map because the editors seemed to require some upfront link - and that was not the way to do it. Since you have better local knowledge than I do, could you please have a look at the stations. If I am wrong, I might as well delete the template. Secondarywaltz ( talk) 03:20, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Pi,
In the locomotive inventory thing for the MBTA Commuter Rail page, it indicates that there are ex-Amtrak "Screamers" in the MBTA's possession. However, the document says they are only stored right now, even though I saw ex-Amtrak #274 running revenue service for the Fitchburg Line just last week. I would rather not add things unsourced though, so I was wondering if you had anythinrg or knew anything at all regarding that?
On a side note, so sad to see the MBTA Screamers go. I updated the MBTA Commuter Rail page earlier because every MBTA Screamer except one was taken out of service very recently. I remember back in the late 90s, when all the Fitchburg Line trains either had a Screamer or a GP40 on it. I also remember the days before South Station was electrified and you took a NortheastDirect with an Amtrak Screamer (and sometimes a GE Genesis P42 as well) either leading or trailing down to New Haven, where you'd switch to one with an AEM-7 (which is also being retired) to go to New York. At least the old Amtrak ones are being put to use, ans hopefully something similar will happen with the MBTA ones. As much as I like the new HSP46 locomotives for MBTA and the ACS-64 ones for Amtrak, it realy stinks to see the trains of your early childhood go. Oh well :) Sportsguy17 ( T • C) 22:49, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Hey Pi,
Hope all is well with you. I have a few questions/comments for you. First off, the Yawkey station article is looking good and I'll have some more feedback shortly (not much is left as far as I'm concerned). The rebuilding process was very interesting. Every time I went down the Masspike in that direction, I'd always see more and more come up on that station. I also remember the old station. It was a nice little station and ADA friendly, but by the turn of the century, it clearly was not sufficient for what it served size and layout wise.
Second thing: do you happen to have a more recent picture from the South Acton construction (i.e, past two weeks or so)? I haven't heard much on that lately and I'm quite curious.
Final thing (I know I'm late on this by almost a month, but I've been away a lot in the past 4-6 weeks); Sad to see the Screamers go for real. I personally thought they were really nice locos and they lasted a long time (pretty sure they started operating in the mid to late 70s if I'm not mistaken). Nowadays, the Fitchburg Line is dominated by HSP46 and GP40s (with the occasional newer F40s). Very sad to see old locos leave, but at least the new ones are nice.

Hey Pi,
Hope all is well with you. I have a few questions/comments for you. First off, the Yawkey station article is looking good and I'll have some more feedback shortly (not much is left as far as I'm concerned). The rebuilding process was very interesting. Every time I went down the Masspike in that direction, I'd always see more and more come up on that station. I also remember the old station. It was a nice little station and ADA friendly, but by the turn of the century, it clearly was not sufficient for what it served size and layout wise.
Second thing: do you happen to have a more recent picture from the South Acton construction (i.e, past two weeks or so)? I haven't heard much on that lately and I'm quite curious.
Final thing (I know I'm late on this by almost a month, but I've been away a lot in the past 4-6 weeks); Sad to see the Screamers go for real. I personally thought they were really nice locos and they lasted a long time (pretty sure they started operating in the mid to late 70s if I'm not mistaken). Nowadays, the Fitchburg Line is dominated by HSP46 and GP40s (with the occasional newer F40s). Very sad to see old locos leave, but at least the new ones are nice.

![]() | On 16 August 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Barnum (Metro-North station), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a railroad station named after showman P.T. Barnum is planned to be built in Bridgeport, Connecticut? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Barnum (Metro-North station). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
