Hello! I know you are an experienced member on Wikipedia and specifically with articles relating to the MBTA, so I thought I would ask you this.
As you may know, the article for the MBTA is very long, and the article for the History of the MBTA is lacking in some sections, so I started to create a new article called Draft:Proposed expansion of the MBTA subway (similar to the NYC subway article Proposed expansion of the New York City Subway). I created the draft to write in extreme detail about the former and current proposed expansions of Boston's subway, as most of this info is missing from the history page. I planned on populating the page with templates, images, and other elements to add info to the page. I took a hiatus from the page because I feared that it would be deleted when I was finished, so I decided to ask you. Do you think the page should be finished and kept, deleted, or info from the page should be added to the History page?
Thanks, Anthonyt31201

Hello, I have deprodded Lynette Sweet because it was discussed at AFD back in 2011 and is therefore ineligible for prod. I have no prejudice against you opening another AFD if you are so inclined. Thanks, — KuyaBriBri Talk 15:26, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Hia, sorry about my image upload failures honest mistake there but I feel like the infobox image for Ruggles should be an easily recognizable image of Ruggles, not a train that could be anywhere from the common outsider perspective... How do you feel about maybe this one? (note I did not take this one and it is several years old, IV is still under construction and the station lighting has changed slightly but overall it's pretty much the same) If not, I can always go take a couple more, I can grab my DSLR and take some basically any day, must walk through here at least 4 times a day :) Thanks!

In reverting my move at Ashmont–Mattapan high-speed line you stated it was "contrary to previous move discussions". I had looked, and didn't find any prior discussion of caps or hyphen there. Did I miss something? Sources are all over the map, so it makes sense to follow our own MOS's advice here, no? Dicklyon ( talk) 16:14, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello! I know you are probably very busy like most of us, but I was wondering if you could help add to the New Haven–Springfield Shuttle and New Haven–Springfield Line articles, especially about earlier history, or to let me know what I could do to improve the article. Thanks in advance! Daybeers ( talk) 06:25, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

On 4 March 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Brockton (MBTA station), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a modern bus station was built to resemble the former Brockton train station, designed by Bradford Gilbert? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Brockton (MBTA station). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Brockton (MBTA station)), 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.

It's a crying shame that there doesn't appear to be a transit/rail oriented barnstar (having looked for one), so please accept this colorful one instead, for your long and fine work in MBTA-oriented articles. Ravenswing 20:28, 15 March 2018 (UTC) |
Not to sound derogatory or anything (I know I can't not sound so, but hopefully you get the point), but Olsen24's block expires in less than 24 hours. We should be prepared for Olsen24 to start making unnecessary changes to MTA bus fleet-related articles. Once again, not to rip on Olsen24, but after all these blocks, I don't have much faith in Olsen24 contributing positively to these articles. Mtattrain ( talk) 15:21, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
How is this table uncited? it came directly from the select bus page. Olsen24 ( talk) 15:48, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Pi! I'm wondering if you could help me out with a possible idea I had to propose renaming some of the LIRR station articles. I really don't know much about the LIRR, but I came across an article and noticed that nearly all of the station articles are titled "xxx (LIRR station)". This also applies to the former stations. That disambiguation is deprecated per WP:USSTATION, right? I know the LIRR is a very old railroad, so I don't know if there are any articles which should have the disambiguation, even if there aren't any articles with the same name, but shouldn't the ones without that problem be changed to just "xxx station"? Judging by this page, I was thinking of putting the notice on either the Jamaica or Penn Station article, since they have the most views and watchers. What are your thoughts? I could be totally off base and this might actually be a terrible idea in reality, please tell me if you think so! Thanks in advance! Best, Daybeers ( talk) 02:14, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
I'm working through the template issues highlighted at WP:TWP and find that I can't remove {{ infobox rdt}} from Grand Trunk station (Richmond) because {{ St. Lawrence and Atlantic line map}}. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Mackensen (talk) 23:25, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
