Talk:Park Avenue Tunnel (roadway)

message: Yes, using official historical names is pedantic.  It's an encyclopedia, after all, not a tabloid newspaper.  As it happens, the name changes were anonymous, so I simply reverted them rather than check the talk pages first.  Had I known the changes were based on opinions I disagree with rather than simple anonymous thoughtlessness, maybe I would have held off for a day, but no regrets.

replies: text: Do you think there is some other official name of this tunnel? Do you have reliable sources to support your claim of a clearly preferable name? Did you not see the clear note at the top of the Park Avenue Tunnel page explaining how to find what one is looking for? DMacks (talk) 21:31, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

text: There is a discussion on Talk:Park Avenue Tunnel about this naming situation. Let's keep all discussion there, since it's about the meaning of "Park Avenue Tunnel" and issues common to that term and page, not just Murray Hill. DMacks (talk) 16:38, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

text: For those not following the discussion elsewhere on this topic, I was mistaken. Different agencies are in charge of the two tunnels, and each calls its own "Park Avenue Tunnel" so we sent that name to a disambiguator. Jim.henderson (talk) 23:03, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Pedantic

message: Goodness; my new interior pic has stirred a controversy among our thoughtful editors. One side thinks it atypical and the other thinks it's more informative, if they don't mind my reading their minds. I like my picture, but of course I would, so I shall leave the arguments to less biased minds. Better to put the arguments here in Talk, however, than carry on an edit war.

replies: text: I already conceded my point and left the arty interior photo as the infobox image. The gallery is there for more normal views of the tunnel, and I assume the "war" has reached a consensus. jhsounds (talk) 23:16, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I just did an about face, sorry.  With the gallery there, I like the "normal" pic in the infobox and the SummerStreets pic in the gallery.  If anyone disagrees, feel free to revert.  (Incidentally, I couldn't get into the tunnel today, I started out too late and got there just as they woere closing it down.  Next week I may go extremely early to make sure I get in.  Thanks for the great pic, Jim.) Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:41, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

text: So I started with "Wow, I won!" "No, I lost" "Ooh, my enemy is convinced!" "No, my friend betrayed me." No, of course none of that is true; everyone's my friend and just trying to figure out what will serve best. Two days ago riding the Zipline downtown followed by side trips for photos and noshing delayed my arrival at 33rd St until closing time. Should have worn my Wikipedia shirt; someone might have stepped up and introduced himself. Better luck next Saturday, especially for any more skilled photographer whose underground picture might blow mine completely out of the article. Oh, look out for the incongruously grand emergency staircase to about 38th Street. Interesting bit of architecture but my pix of it weren't worth uploading, much less presenting in the article.

replies: text: Jim: Sorry if you felt betrayed, even momentarily.  I really did mean it about anyone reverting who disagreed with the change.  You image is great! Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:34, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

text: No, my long list of habitual faults does not include jumping to paranoid conclusions. Retrospectively overdramatizing my own mental processes, yes, that's one of mine. Jim.henderson (talk) 08:02, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Is this the same tunnel which has occasional art installations like this:

And if so, what's the deal? Do they close it to traffic? Do cars and people and art all mingle at the same time?

replies: text: A long stretch of Park Avenue is closed off to vehicles for a few hours for the SummerStreets event. For the past two years, the Park Avenue Tunnel has also been temporarily closed off to vehicles in coordination with SummerStreets for art projects. It's an optional part of the larger Park Avenue walking path, since there's a line to get in and people who choose to go inside have to sign a liability waiver if I recall correctly. jhsounds (talk) 23:40, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
