thread_title:  A class status 

message: I'm seeing entire sentences and paragraphs copied either verbatim or with very minor changes from multiple sources.  Ref. 21 is particularly egregious, but I've also found copyvios from Ref. 7 and Ref. 9.   please have a look at Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing and Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources.  You can't copy-paste text from copyrighted sources, even if you make small changes to it; you need to write in your own words.  This article will need to be substantially rewritten if it is to retain its GA status. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 02:59, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

message: ..."and is one of only six 24/7 mass-transit rail lines in the United States; the others are the PATCO Speedline, the Red and Blue Lines of the Chicago "L", the PATH lines and the New York City Subway." So, a part of the Chicago "L" is counted as two lines, but the whole NYC Subway is counted as one. Is that correct? Vcohen (talk) 20:52, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't Ballpark be listen in the main line station page as it was rebuilt as part of the mainline? 2600:4040:9C71:F300:391E:C3D6:C2A5:295B (talk) 21:43, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not on the main line, but the stub remnant of the former North Shore Branch. The connection between that and the main line is a wye, so trains could go directly to it from the main line, but trains can't go to both the Ballpark and St George stations without reversing directions. oknazevad (talk) 02:23, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
