Talk:List of Docklands Light Railway stations

message: Comments due to request by User:Simply south at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways
Hi Simply south, some very quick comments, as requested. Thanks for writing this article, can I suggest opening a Peer Review?
;history
*Is there a suitable wikilink for imperial commerce?
*Acronyms such as PLA need introducing (i.e. saying Port of London Authority (PLA) on first use)
*See MOS:PERCENT for % signs
*"These too closed in 1981" – is this the correct spelling?
*Who was Norman Fowler?
*"One of the planned extensions was from Canning Town to North Woolwich - options considered " ndash or mdash needed?
*Doesn't "safeguarded" need linking or explanation?
;list
Having needed reading glasses for the last few years, I have my monitor set to a coarse resolution, and this means the last two columns are not visible on my screen without scrolling. Can something be done about this?

replies: text: Truthfully when doing it originally, I never learnt to do footnotes. When I have some time I will look over the book. I'm not sure how to do Ref 5 as it is a monograph and so does not have page numbers, more sections. Simply south...... cooking letters for just 7 years  19:47, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

text: I think that particular image you've given is a bad example as it shows that Heron Quays is located within a building so should stay (unless there is one of a better angle), which not all stations are. I will review many of the other images. Simply south...... cooking letters for just 7 years  19:47, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

message: A Wikipedia list usually has a short introduction followed by the list or lists proper. Often it is a companion to an article. However this page has a huge amount of information in text, about the history and future developments. Some of that isn't even in the main article Docklands Light Railway, other parts overlap. I think the information should be concentrated in that article. Bever (talk) 01:49, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: User:Bever Agreed - seems really odd. I'll ask on the DLR page. Turini2 (talk) 21:21, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

message: Hi
As TfL & all other references list the total number of DLR stations (including Wikipedia) as 45, I'm unsure this page should have 47 where both Canning Town & Stratford are separated into Low & High Levels.
However, they're not different stations: They have shared entrances, unique platform references, same station codes. The only difference is they're stacked on top of each other. If the platforms were side-by-side they wouldn't be listed individually. Any differences worth noting should be either stated in the notes column, or more accurately put into each stations individual wiki page.

thread_title:  Duplicate Stations Listed 

message: As per this discussion Talk:Docklands_Light_Railway#List_of_stations I have removed the history text, as this will better fit on the main DLR page.Turini2 (talk) 11:44, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of history text 

message: Hello @WMSR, I've reverted your good faith edits for a few reasons. Firstly, you should seek consensus before substantial changes like this. The article is of a similar specification to the List of London Underground stations article. Secondly, I think the interchange line names fails MOS:COLOUR. Thirdly, your edits removed information such as proposed/previous names. Happy to discuss Turini2 (talk) 21:54, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi @Turini2! Thank you for reaching out. I do not understand why this article (or List of London Underground stations lists names that were proposed, but not adopted. That information may belong in the articles for the individual stations, and I can see a case being made for former station names, but names that were only proposed certainly are not mentioned on station lists in any other city that I could find. If that information is only here, perhaps it could be copied to individual station articles and removed from this list. Furthermore, while the interchange line names might not be perfect, they are certainly an improvement in accessibility over tiny roundels of different colors. WMSR (talk) 03:01, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @WMSR I guess we've gestures at London Transport nerds have always had those articles this way, and never really thought about former/proposed station names in either article. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Maybe the best solution is that I'll raise it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject London Transport and gain some consensus on what to do. Agreed that the tiny roundels are also rubbish for accessibility, but again - that's a long standing usage across the UK rail network stations. Unfortunately, your proposed solution was no better - and would not match all other articles. Again, something to raise. Turini2 (talk) 07:53, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
