New York City Subway nomenclature[edit]
Self-nomination. This has gotten a total of zero comments in five days on peer review. I'd really like at least some comments on how to improve this, if not praise. --SPUI (talk) 02:08, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. Can't this article be called the simpler New York City Subway nomenclature? Also, the lead section is insufficient in comprehensiveness and should have a bolded title. 119 02:12, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Comment--the naming suggestion from 119 is a good one. Also, there's lots of acronyms, which are often used without explanation (e.g. MTA, IND, etc.). Although these are wikilinked, they should probably be expanded on first use. Meelar (talk) 02:31, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose. The lead section is still inadequate, I think. It is more of a brief introduction than a small, standalone version of the main text.119 03:11, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- oppose .. more comment ; a) you should show a photo of the signs in use on a train. b) please make more careful references; have a look at Cite your sources and consider using a footnoting system to make your references precise and easy to find. Mozzerati 17:13, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)
- Would you happen to be in the area, and could get a photo? As for foornotes, I'd rather hold off until we have a better system, in which the numbers and references at the bottom are automatically generated. --SPUI (talk) 19:04, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry, I'm far from that area but there must be someone, I was going to suggest Requested pictures but I see you've been there ;-) As far as footnotes go, the time when you write the article is probably the only time you have a hope to remember most of your sources. It's even harder for others to find them later. Two alternative suggestions. There's a the new system at Wikipedia:Footnote3 provides automatic numbering with some limitations. It will probably be possible to use that system to generate footnotes using any future internal wikimedia feature. If you still object to that system for some reason, you can do what PedanticallySpeaking has done in Julia Stiles which explains which information was taken from each reference so that later verification can be done..
