Talk:N (New York City Subway service)

message: I found this image of the March 6, 1974 Kojak episode "Dead On His Feet" which contains an N train with an  orange bullet rather than a yellow one. Courtesy of the Internet Movie Cars Database. Just a little piece of history of the service I thought I'd thow on here. ----DanTD (talk) 17:52, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

message: What is the name of the Subway. The article says, N Broadway Local, but the aricle title is N (New York City Subway service). Never been to NY and curious. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 23:27, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It is the N: Broadway Local.  The article title is N(New York City Subway Service) to avoid confusion with other articles relating to the letter N.  Mysteryman557 (talk) 03:10, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Mysteryman557, but then my question would be if it is called N: Broadway Local, rather than N(New York City Subway Service), why not move the page there? Is there also a naming convention that I am unaware of? I understand it can't be called "N." As I said, I am merely curious and have no ulterior motives save understanding a little more of WP. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 08:32, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The article has been that name since it was created. It most likely is N (New York City Subway service) so people not from New York can know that it is directly related to the subway service, whereas naming the article N (Broadway Local) would not directly point that fact out, but I am not entirely sure, since I did not create the article.  If you wish to further understand the naming, you can bring up the discussion here. Mysteryman557 (talk) 13:55, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

message: @Kew Gardens 613 and @TheMasterofAllHitmans, I noticed that you are both edit warring over this sentence in the lead. Aside from my own concerns that this should really be moved down to the Route section if it's even kept, we should discuss the dispute here rather than edit warring. Thank you. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:04, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Just add a note in the Route section as you suggested, . SIMPLE. TheMasterofAllHitmans (talk) 17:04, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: , just to clarify, northbound D and N trains according to their current timetables, run local on the 4th Avenue Line in Brooklyn on weekday evenings after 6:45 p.m. It’s been that way since…I don’t know, can’t remember when exactly were the timetables updated reflecting that. But I believe it was as early as 2017 or so. It is rumored that the real reason is so to get the work trains out of the 36th-39th Street Yards safely without interrupting regular subway service, which is also why a few alternate D trains come out of the yard and run lite via the Culver Line to Broadway-Lafayette, where they enter regular service onward during that time around. Do you mind adding that to the notes section? TheMasterofAllHitmans (talk) 17:57, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, I can get around to adding that in a bit. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:58, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Edit warring is three, not two, and, I was not going to revert a third time. @TheMasterofAllHitmans, some articles mention other permutations. There is no need to call people idiots in edit summaries. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 21:02, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Kew Gardens 613, while the policy is that editors must not make more than three reverts in 24 hours, an edit war can occur with fewer reverts - as the policy says, "an edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions." Even two back-and-forth reverts could count as the beginning of an edit war, so it should have been discussed on the talk page. In any case, I think @TheMasterofAllHitmans's response resolves this issue perfectly. – Epicgenius (talk) 21:40, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree the edit works-I didn't like the wholesale removal. I didn't think two reverts counted as an edit war, but fair enough. These notes should be added to other articles. Thanks. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 12:56, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
