Talk:Jacksonville Skyway

message: The specification of what country this is in is not necessary, and is especially abnormal for names of places in the United States.  dcandeto 17:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a standard on Wikipedia. Not everyone lives in the U.S. If it's "especially abnormal for names of places in the United States", it's only because U.S. editors assume everyone knows the names of all 50 states. --NE2 23:01, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, if you'll look around, you'll see that it is, in fact, not the standard to include the country name, unless you are talking about the place itself (for instance, in Jacksonville, Florida, reference is made to the fact that it is in the United States, but such a reference is absent in Jacksonville University, and properly so).  The country name is normally left off for U.S. states and Canadian provinces, unless they are the subjects of the article themselves.  Accordingly, the country name does not need to be specified in Jacksonville Skyway, and can properly be removed.  dcandeto 02:10, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

text: The Jacksonville Skyway is not a place.  The only articles that consistently (more than 4% of the time) include place names up to the country are themselves place names (Jacksonville itself, or Duval County, for instance).  This is not just true for Jacksonville, but true for all the articles I've been able to find that deal with U.S.-based subjects.  The article on Jeb Bush does not mention anywhere in the beginning that he is a U.S. politician, just a former governor of Florida.  We should also include the fact that the U.S. is a country, and that it is on Earth, in case people don't know.  dcandeto 07:20, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Jacksonville is a place.  The Skyway is not, has not ever been, and will not ever be, a place.  Duval County is a place.  Florida is a place.  Transit systems are not places.  We'll see how much flak I get for regularizing placenames to City, State/Province, Country, as you say should be done.  The fact that I'm having to do it to a great many articles belies the notion that country name is standard when state or province is mentioned, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt.  dcandeto 21:35, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Country specification 

message: Please do not perform massive changes on the article and related articles without discussing them first.  Keeping the stations separate is consistent with just about all mass transit articles on Wikipedia (see Toronto, Montréal, New York, Miami, etc.  dcandeto 16:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Articles on individual stations 

message: The new changes made to the article, including the new infobox and the table of stations should not be reverted.  Please make sure that all editors assume good faith when editing the article.  Reverting non-vandalized edits is not assuming good faith.  These changes have only expanded the article and made it more detailed, therefore there is no reason for them to be removed.  Unless the changes involve major article reformatting, there is no reason to have to discuss them beforehand, unless they are controversial in some sense. –Dream out loud (talk) 17:23, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  New edits to article 

message: This article is categorized as being a "UM people mover" which is a reference to Universal Mobility who produced monorails (one such version is the Monorail at Hersheypark). This article does not mention Universal Mobility in anyway, and for that matter, doesn't mention who produced it initially, only who refitted it. So, can anyone confirm who built it, and if it was Universal Mobility or not? Thanks. --Son (talk) 17:19, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Based on the use of FCCJ in the article and FCCJ in the station article, I may have vandalised the text by changing FSCJ to FCCJ.
The use of the two names is inconsistent and confusing throughout the titles and content of articles discussing Florida State/Community College at Jacksonville.
I apologize for the confusion.
Someone needs to clear the issue up and make relevant changes to all wiki articles discussing FSCJ/FCCJ a main article should be made for each name of the institution with one linking to the current name where the entire article could reside.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.200.4.237 (talk) 18:47, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  FSCJ vs. FCCJ 

message: Hi all, below is a prototype of what I'm thinking (yes I know the coding is somewhat lazy), some of the text may be moved elsewhere compiled with other articles (there is a bit of overlap), but as a concept what do you think? Liamdavies (talk) 06:55, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks good. The headers for individual stations should be second level (===Rosa Parks Transit Station=== instead of first level, otherwise it should be fine. As an aside, this is the one station I wouldn't mind seeing keeping its own article even if the others are merged, as it's also the city's main bus station. But obviously it should have a section here too.--Cúchullain t/c 16:01, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I was going to nest them all under "Stations", but thanks for the reminder. I think you've given some good reasons as to why Rosa Parks Transit Station should remain separate, so it won't be merged. I'll start on the others soon. Liamdavies (talk) 06:55, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Good work, Liam. I've been going through and working on the sections; turns out there's more redundant info than I even thought. More reason this merge was a good call.--Cúchullain t/c 13:08, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
