Talk:List of Chicago "L" stations

message: Is there any interest in developing some kind of infobox for CTA stations? I started playing with ideas in my sandbox. --JeremyA 02:29, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox 

message: It's a little weird to me to see Wellongton listed under Ravenswood Branch, for example, (to me it's on the North Main segment) or discussion of pink line trains entering the loop "via the Green Line" (Lake St L seems more descriptive). The system names track segments distinctly from service routes, and I wonder if anyone is interested in making that a thorough distinction here? It has the benefit of disambiguation and also can be a nice resource for helping readers & riders to get past system jargon. --- scbomber (only bombs in netrek 05:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Since I took this to FLC, there has been one major complaint about the table and it keeps coming up: not all of the opening dates have references. Here's a list of those that don't:

As you can see, it isn't exactly a small number. As stated somewhere, Chicago-L.org won't work because it's self-published and therefore not reliable. Some of these do have a few notes about them. 
*Wellington is mentioned in the article (sort of). The problem is that some overeager writer 112 years ago mistyped "Wellington" as "Wrightwood" and then wrote "Lincoln" for "Wrightwood." (An obvious error as Wrightwood and Lincoln are less than 100 feet apart at the 'L' line and therefore wouldn't both have stations.
*Damen, Pulaski, Oak Park, Ridgeland, Kedzie, Francisco, and Rockwell all have sources for stations that opened as part of their respective lines/line extensions, but these sources omit the "middle" stations.
If anyone out there has means of searching, I would greatly appreciate it if you could help out and bring this to a close. Thanks. Lost on  Belmont 3200N (talk) 17:20, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Chicago-L.org isn't reliable on its own, but you might want to try contacting the webmaster to see if he would know where to find some of the original sources for their dates. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 20:54, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I get the feeling that for the middle stations noted above, he just assumed they opened with the rest of the line since (from what my research has shown) that it was very uncommon to open stations after the fact. Unfortunately, such reasoning fails several wiki procedures and that leaves this list at square one. Lost on  Belmont 3200N (talk) 03:47, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
