Talk:List of Washington Metro stations

message: Wow, that's gnarly. This page sits untouched for months, then two of us start wikifying the stations. Should we decide on some sort of uniform format, like what the
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Station Stations tried to do, but has apparently lay idle?
Also, what about format for the station pages names? There is no present Wikiproject for station (naming). I took a cue from the tube stations (where one is Acton Town tube station), and named mine Foggy Bottom-GWU Washington Metro station. Now, "Metro Center" is pretty unique, but I just wanted input. I'm new here, but already hopelessly addicted, and scared to death that I'm doing things wrong. --Golbez 03:04, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: I hover over the boxes with my mouse, and I see text pop up, which indicates to me that they're sufficiently accessible. SchuminWeb (Talk) 13:19, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really... if you have a monochrome monitor, or you're colorblind, you'll have to hover over each one to see what it is. --NE2 14:23, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else think it's still slightly premature to have Purple Line stations on here? SchuminWeb (Talk) 14:44, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree; it's not even 'planned', according to our article it's still in the proposal stage. --Golbez (talk) 17:31, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The consensus seems to be that Purple Line individual stations are still premature. I put back the changes to the table to add the state columns but left off the Purple Line stations and transfer points. I hope that's acceptable. Dkendr (talk) 18:02, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good to me. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Premature for Purple to be on here?

message: I called up the Office of the Red Line Manager at Metro and was told that NY Ave-Fl Ave-Gallaudet is B35. The person that I talked to will try to get the PR office or someone whose name is already public to email me something.Naraht (talk) 13:56, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I recently added a row of images along the right margin, in line with current FL station lists like List of Bay Area Rapid Transit stations. It was reverted with the concern that the images may cause crowding with the table for users with smaller screens. Since I've been working on tweaking the list for an FL nom, I'd like to add the images back in, but wanted to seek input from other editors of the page. To whit:
:* Should the images be added back in?
:* Is there a way to prevent the issue ShuminWeb was concerned about that cause the reversion, while still having the images to meet FLC precedent?

thread_title: Images on right margin

message: Hi. I used the Template:nts to fix the number sorting and I also put in the latest passenger boarding data from FY2011 from WMATA. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, epicAdam(talk) 20:11, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: epicAdam, you've lived up to your username. That looks fantastic, and great catch with the Wolf Trap station that's completely vanished from consideration. With your addition of 2011 data, this is just about ready to go back to FLC to return to its former status as a featured list. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:01, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  November Updates 

message: In the map up top, the Orange Circle has "OR" in white, just as the one on the WMATA website does, however below, it is in black. I realize that putting it in white may cause problems with the white stripped circles indicating Rush hour. Should be make it consistent?Naraht (talk) 16:23, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I've updated the non-rush icon to white text as with the official map, though the rush icon will need to stay black for the time being. Unfortunately, for some reason the white version isn't displaying in the article yet. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:59, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lack of consistency on the Orange icon 

message: In March of 2014, I had already taken care of one item on the to-d list for this article: I moved the lines from the first to the second column of the "Stations" table and the "Planned Stations" table. Also, should there be a "grade/layout" column indicating whether the Washington Metro's stations are elevated, at-grade or underground? Jim856796 (talk) 09:36, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Good work. I'd say specifying the construction type probably isn't worthwhile, but I'm open to thoughts. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:32, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  About the to-do list 

message: Just a thought- would it be a good idea to show connections to other rail lines on this page? I feel like connections to VRE, MARC, and Amtrak would all make sense on this list, especially considering that they are important enough to go on the map. I believe the corresponding article for the Chicago rapid transit system (List of CTA stations) has commuter rail connections. Just something to consider. Rivkid007 (talk) 05:37, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, go ahead. Ten commuter rail stations is probably enough to add a column. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:57, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Connections 

message: The references at the top of the main table include those that are [9][4]. I know there is a tool that will help with making all groups of ref numbers in Chronological order, but I don't remember what it is. :(Naraht (talk) 20:57, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: That shows up as a task for the users that check with AutoWikiBrowser; it's all taken care of now. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:28, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
