I'm finally trying to write a proper article about SEPTA service beyond Norristown ( User:Mackensen/Pottsville line) and ran across an interesting if brief section in the USRA final system plan that I'd overlooked before: [1]. If I'm reading that right, that's every commuter service that by 1975 (a) wasn't covered by some kind of subsidy or contract or (b) wasn't within a public agency's jurisdiction and (c) used a bankrupt's lines:

Hi Pi, I was cleaning up some vandalism on Fore River Bridge and I noticed this edit of yours [2], marked rmv spam, that removed some content that seems reasonably valuable to me. Could you take another look?-- agr ( talk) 16:39, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I had some inspiration to work on an article for the ongoing issues the MBTA had this year. I wasn't sure if it was really worthy of an article, but there's been a lot of news lately about the situation as a whole that mentions things kind of like "a string of incidents" so I thought it worked. My draft is at Draft:2022 MBTA Safety Crisis.
I'm not really that experienced as an editor, so while I am allowed to make new pages, I put it AFC, which I am now regretting as it means I can't approve it myself. I was wondering if you could take a look at the article. I think the subject matter is hard to write neutrally about at length, but I tried to keep it pretty even. Since you seem like a really experienced MBTA editor I thought I would show you the article, and see if you had ideas or comments on it. ForksForks ( talk) 17:26, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

From the Boston Subdivision page's citations, CSX's Boston Subdivision appears on a 2004 timetable to be a line continuing east to Cove Interlocking, where the Worcester Main Line junctions with the Northeast Corridor. I had been considering noting this on station pages along the MBTA Framingham/Worcester Line as CSX does operate freight service over the line east of Worcester occasionally (to my awareness, this largely consists of Framingham locals and freight moves to Readville 1-yard, which currently operate via the Framingham Secondary and Franklin Line, with a backup move at Readville). While I have seen documented use of Worcester Main Line (most noticeably with the Allston Multimodal project), I have seen the name applied to the former Worcester, Nashua and Rochester Railroad as well, which is currently referred to as the "Worcester Branch" instead.
My current thought process is to do something similar to what we ended up coming to a consensus on with the Attleboro Line, using both names on the pages for stations on the shared corridor, but I thought I'd run it by you since I was under the impression that you were in the middle of working on the GA process for most of these stations yourself.

I have just found out that you were one of the editors that were behind all that, removing the WMATA type from major hub stations.

As you may know, coordinates should conform to WP:OPCOORD, a guideline which I do not entirely agree with, but one that has consensus. The guideline uses the size of the object to determine the level of precision needed. Gilman Square station is a 100-150 m object, which by use of the precision tables yields D°m's.s" (verging on D°m's") or D.dddd°. Personally, I prefer to use D°m's" whenever possible, followed by D°m's.s" and then D.dddd°, for aesthetic reasons but also because degrees-minutes-seconds is the Wikidata default. There is a move afoot to have all coordinates on the Wikipedias draw directly from Wikidata, which causes ugly things to happen if decimal coordinates were used in the Wikidata item. Wikidata takes the decimal coords and converts them to degrees-minutes-seconds without rounding them, and then, when the coords are brought back into Wikipedia, they typically have far too many digits.

From the Boston Subdivision page's citations, CSX's Boston Subdivision appears on a 2004 timetable to be a line continuing east to Cove Interlocking, where the Worcester Main Line junctions with the Northeast Corridor. I had been considering noting this on station pages along the MBTA Framingham/Worcester Line as CSX does operate freight service over the line east of Worcester occasionally (to my awareness, this largely consists of Framingham locals and freight moves to Readville 1-yard, which currently operate via the Framingham Secondary and Franklin Line, with a backup move at Readville). While I have seen documented use of Worcester Main Line (most noticeably with the Allston Multimodal project), I have seen the name applied to the former Worcester, Nashua and Rochester Railroad as well, which is currently referred to as the "Worcester Branch" instead.
My current thought process is to do something similar to what we ended up coming to a consensus on with the Attleboro Line, using both names on the pages for stations on the shared corridor, but I thought I'd run it by you since I was under the impression that you were in the middle of working on the GA process for most of these stations yourself.

I have just found out that you were one of the editors that were behind all that, removing the WMATA type from major hub stations. This type of stuff is borderline disruptive editing, and it needs to stop, unless if you want to be blocked for disruptive editing. Williamwang363 ( talk) 11:28, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

As you may know, coordinates should conform to WP:OPCOORD, a guideline which I do not entirely agree with, but one that has consensus. The guideline uses the size of the object to determine the level of precision needed. Gilman Square station is a 100-150 m object, which by use of the precision tables yields D°m's.s" (verging on D°m's") or D.dddd°. Personally, I prefer to use D°m's" whenever possible, followed by D°m's.s" and then D.dddd°, for aesthetic reasons but also because degrees-minutes-seconds is the Wikidata default. There is a move afoot to have all coordinates on the Wikipedias draw directly from Wikidata, which causes ugly things to happen if decimal coordinates were used in the Wikidata item. Wikidata takes the decimal coords and converts them to degrees-minutes-seconds without rounding them, and then, when the coords are brought back into Wikipedia, they typically have far too many digits.

I agree that having all of the {{ rcb}} as added in this diff for 30th Street Station is a bit hectic, but I quite liked the addition of {{ rint}} at this diff. Would you be opposed to if I reverted the page to the second diff? I don't want to partially undo your undo unilaterally. Tartar Torte 20:18, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
