Talk:MetroLink (St. Louis)

message: There are currently a bunch of separate pages for Metrolink stations from North Hanley to Forest Park that are inaccesible from the main page here.  Since each of the station pages has very little info to offer, would it not be better to merge those pages into this Metrolink page somehow?  A station list of sorts.  --Millbrooky 18:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:St Louis Metro Logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:St Louis Metro Logo.gif

message: I took the liberty of doing some line descriptions with matching colorized titles, added some pictures I took, etc. to the page. If someone feels like proofreading it so that way it doesn't look like it's droning on incessantly or something I'd appreciate it. We still need to add some more pictures to the page, and somehow make one of those maps where you can click on stations and it will direct you to that stations respective page (as seen in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broad_Street_Subway under Route map) if someone has any idea how to do that or knows a place where to make a request to do that.
P.S according to a memo from Metros website metrolink ridership increased about 10-11 thousand to around 77.5 thousand a day.

replies: text: Thanks for the additions.  I'll see about better incorporating what you wrote into the article.  May I ask which memo you've seen that mentions the increased ridership? --Millbrooky (talk) 15:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: http://metrostlouis.org/InsideMetro/NewsRoom/releases/2008-027AprilRidership.pdf   shows record ridership which when divided equals something to the tune of 77k we'd probably get a more updated ridership stat at the end of this year. DMG-42 (talk) 14:44, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Red/Blue Lines Update

message: They don't look nearly notable enough to be in their own sepreate articles; a section each on this article should suffice. Jon (talk) 19:03, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Red / Blue Line Articles should be merged back into this section 

message: In the proposals put forward by Mayor Slay and Mr. Dooley there were a number of changes to the metrolink.  One of the big ones is the possibility of a North-South Line.  There is also the replacement of rolling stock etc.  Find it if you can, I lost it.  There's a PDF file somewhere with all the projects listed.

thread_title:  Moving Transit Forward 

message: User:71.167.17.227 finally explained his/her repeated deletion of the map in the infobox via an edit summary. The user said, "I deleted [the map] because it is an inaccurate & unprofessional representation of the Metrolink system. The remaining map is closer to the official Metro image." I think the user has a point. --Millbrooky (talk) 04:21, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a fine map and comparable with other transit system maps. I don't see a problem with it. Bhockey10 (talk) 06:38, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Me too. I too don't see a problem with our map. (Jordan S. Wilson (talk) 18:22, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

text: The last issue (all are small issues btw.) is my biggest, I think it might be b/c the file is an svg file most other transit maps on here are pngs. Bhockey10 (talk) 19:57, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Another good point, however. the map is not as inaccurate, bad, etc... to be deleted. If the original creator or another wikipedia user wants to take some time and create a new version of the map then we can replace it. I don't think any of the maps on wikipedia or even offical maps from the transit companies are perfectly accurate-these arent satellite views. Bhockey10 (talk) 23:03, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Official maps are, in most circumstances, copyrighted, and cannot be used. Thus the reason for look-alikes or original creations scattered on other transit system articles.  The map you keep trying to delete is a supposed to be a geographic representation of the MetroLink system; it could be better, but that doesn't mean it needs to be deleted. Metro also has alternative maps posted at stations that look more like the kind you find at amusement parks. As for your proposal to switch the placement of the two maps, why not be bold and see if your edits stick (make sure to use the edit summary). Though I will say I prefer the schematic map where it is. --Millbrooky (talk) 21:03, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
