Talk:Ronkonkoma Branch

message: From the headline-like section headers to the extensive use of soundbite quotes, this article reads like a recent newspaper article, not an encylopedia article. It also has paltry coverage for anything other that the Greenport service issues (which are given undue weight), completely ignoring anything of the line/service's history. The logical counter-arguement to that is the line's history is covered at the Main Line article. To which I must wonder, why is this a separate article and not just a section of the Main Line article?oknazevad (talk) 20:12, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A lot of that was due to copy-pasting from news articles in the Greenport controversy section. I've removed the tone tag and marked it as a copyvio. — Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 22:36, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I swiped some text from an earlier version of the Wyandanch, New York article and hid it in the Wyandanch (LIRR station) article. Much of the text mentions plans from the mid-1980's to eliminate Wyandanch and Pinelawn (LIRR station), as part of the electrification between Hicksville and Ronkonkoma. While I scale back the text in the Wyandanch station article, the rest of it might be good for here. ----DanTD (talk) 01:25, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I've been working on a new template for the line. Right now, I'm just looking for the right terminus for Thompson's Siding (LIRR station) besides a right arrow, and I'm debating whether I should add bridges over the Carmans River or not. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  23:02, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

message: This page is missing some history about the line's creation, operations and plans for expansion from before electrification. It seems like there is alot of history about the mainline portion on the Main Line (Long Island Rail Road) page, but nothing about the Hicksville-Ronkonkoma portion is present from before electrification on either page.
