Talk:Wollaston station

message: In the last paragraph of the "History" section, there is detailed mention of the proposed Blue Line Extension to Lynn.  This has little to do with the Wollaston station on the Red Line. My guess is that some editor cut-and-pasted this text from another article to use the same reference citations, and forgot to revise the text. I would guess that the cited reports also proposed Red Line extensions on the South Shore, but have not read the reports in detail.  Could somebody more knowledgeable fix up this section?

Talk:Pontifical High Mass

message: Isn't a pontifical high mass a mass celebrated by any primate or patriarch? Fishhead64 22:23, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Eastern Churches don't really use the "high" and "low" distinction, and wouldn't typically call the Liturgy "Mass" either.  If I understand your question, the answer is that I think this is a fairly distinct western phrase. Gimmetrow 23:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

text: And thus the trouble with synonymous expressions.  I pulled out my Ritual Notes and there was a whole section on the ceremonial associated with a "pontifical high mass" in the Anglican tradition, in this case referrring to a mass celebrated by a diocesan, metropolitan, or primate from his/her throne. Given the current ambiguous title of the article, I felt it was appropriate to append a brief explanation of this alternative use of the expression.  Fishhead64 16:07, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, that was my reason.  If you want to add text explaining what identifies the Easterns in the picture, that would be fine (at least in this article, where it fits); my attempts to do that made the caption too long.  Gimmetrow 13:50, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Near the end of a celebration of a Tridentine Mass, the celebrant gives the blessing.  Please indicate where on Wikipedia the expanded form used by a bishop is described.  In giving the actual blessing, a bishop makes (via movement of his right hand) 3 crosses going from left to right (in invoking Father, Son, Holy Ghost respectively); a non-bishop still invokes Father, Son, and Holy Ghost but only makes one (usually larger) cross.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.52.3 (talk) 00:53, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Green Line A branch

message: Does anyone have any idea why the "A" line was eliminated and replaced by a bus? I don't know if this information is even possible to find out at this point though, as it was so many years ago... --Tagith 03:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I added some info about the streetcar shortage; it also seems unlikely the branch would have remained substituted for so long if it didn't have low ridership compared to the other branches. -- Beland 23:29, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I'd hesitate to say "low" (since I'm on the 57 meatwagon regularly) but ridership beyond Oak Square is certainly much lower than further in. A was also the longest (distance) run of the local-service surface lines (Highland Branch being rapid transit and higher fares.) Finally, once the Pike extension was built, inbound service crossed the Pike the wrong way on a one-way street. I do not know of a single case where the MTA or MBTA de-bustituted a route that was bustituted for some reason other than immediate maintenance needs (e.g. Mattapan line, which isn't back yet). --Jnik 03:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Kendall/MIT station

message: The Kendall Band may not be the reason people come to the station, but saying it is not "one of the main attractions" is also not entirely accurate.  I recently added a Trivia section for it which was (correctly) removed since it was a re-iteration of the introduction.  I proposed we remove the intro text and put the Kendall Band in a Trivia section.  This would give it the prominence that it rightly deserves, and more closely match what is done for Park St. and Government Center stops.

Talk:Kenmore station

message: The following (modified) claim is made: "The track layout is similar to, but not identical to the Kashirskaya station on the Moscow Metro."  While this (weaker) claim is true as modified, it rather confuses the situation since a more-precise detailed description would be long and tedious to read (and write).  Can anybody find or put together an accurate track diagram for Kenmore station?

Talk:Lechmere station

message: is inaccessible and hard to parse even for a sighted person. What would be some better ways to convey this information? Mackensen (talk) 15:12, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The major service shifts - 1922, 1931, 1960s, and the chaos of the 1970s and 1980s - can probably be conveyed with a few sentences of prose, as can the handful of changes this century. We don't have to elaborate on every single service change, especially during the early MBTA years where they changed terminals frequently. I'm planning to write the full histories of the GLX and its stations at some point - probably when the station designs are 100% finalized later this year - and I'll definitely replace this timeline then if not sooner.

thread_title:  Timeline 

message: Sorry, but I have to object to your changes to the article lede. The station still exists and is in service for the same customers, even though train service has been replaced by bus service at the present location. Yes, a new station is under construction and that should be mentioned early in the intro, but that is not the primary meaning of "Lechmere station" at the present time. It is still listed as a functioning station by the MBTA , which is of course a reliable source. I do not object to the photo of the under-construction station as the lede photo, as it is arguably more interesting than a couple of trains or buses and can be updated periodically to reflect progress.--agr (talk) 15:33, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Move to Wiktionary 

message: I think this article gives a very biased definition of the Japanese word "den 伝 " and its use; It doesn't always mean a biography or have an exclusive usage at the end of names. 
A more common meaning of this Kanji is legend (ala "伝説 densetsu"). It's used in titles to give an archaic feel (like tale or legend in English) which is something that's been discussed in the article. However, it's not exclusively used at the end of people's names, e.g. 水滸伝 - Suikoden.
Although biography is an acceptable definition and more correct in some ways, sometimes particular words in Japanese (or other languages) translated into English directly do not carry over the same or simular meaning. It's like how "物語 Monogatari" is often translated as tale or story. Whilst this definition is correct in a sense, it is also very incorrect as Monogatari is more of a form of writing like a novel; a verb and noun at the same time almost. It's just that a direct translation doesn't work in English. Same case with the word "伝 den" (or 傅 for a non-simplified version). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.154.16.31 (talk) 00:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
