The font rendering on the map is a mess. I don't know if the same problem affects other NYC transit maps as this was the only one I landed on.216.99.57.111 (talk) 02:52, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They are all bad, but it gets the point across. Locations are also stated in the article anyways.--iGeMiNix 04:25, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Morrison Av-Soundview & Whitlock Av

[edit]

I don't feel like the current Morrison Avenue – Soundview and Whitlock Avenue articles describe the new stations, especially living near and using the former of the two frequently. Should they be updated to describe the new look of the stations? ~kiddRell_ (talk) 03:02, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, if you are near those stations frequently, feel free to update them to the most current description of what they are now.--iGeMiNix 15:06, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

<6>

[edit]

I removed all the <6> symbols. I did so because: 1. It looks hideous. 2. <6> is not used in anything official. 3. <7> is not used on the 7 line page. 4. 6 Express is perfectly clear to any user — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.247.23.150 (talk) 04:58, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, per MOS:ICON the use of the "6" express train and "7" express train is discouraged in prose.
Secondly, the 6 and <6> are two separate services. Rush hours a second service joins the 6, which is then short-turned at Parkchester.
The <6> and <7> are used on many other pages. For example, IRT Pelham Line, IRT Lexington Avenue Line and IRT Flushing Line all use text to decode services and transfers. Every station on the 6 and 7 also use the text in the infobox for what services serve the station as well as the station succession section. For example, 33rd Street (IRT Lexington Avenue Line), Parkchester (IRT Pelham Line) and Queensboro Plaza (IRT Flushing Line).
Using 6 Express is not perfectly clear because that's doesn't adequately distinguish between the two 6 services. The R142A trains themselves use <6> on them because they can't use graphics either.
So you are edit warring because WP:IDONTLIKEIT; Stop. Acps110 (talkcontribs) 09:32, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, I agree with Acps110. Wiki isn't yours, just because you don't like it, doesn't make it right. Either you stop it or you take the block.--iGeMiNix 06:31, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
