thread_title: Picture of Train

message: An anonymous AOL contributor has been adding information on a service change to the Q that will supposedly cause it to run local in September. I have been unable to find any evidence that this is the case, including scouring all of the recent MTA announcements and their "service changes" section, as well as doing a news search. I invite the contributor who wishes for this information to stay to show that it is true using reliable sources. Thanks. Captainktainer * Talk 20:01, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

The offender can clearly see that people are asking him for evidence, and none is ever offered. Marc Shepherd 22:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Service changes in September? 

message: Excuse me for missing this along the line, but I've seen pictures of the Q train logo as a white Q on an orange circle (as in the B/D/F/V), as opposed to the black-Q-on-yellow-circle I'm used to. Can anyone explain this for me? Does it have something to do with the Manhattan Bridge repairs? --74.72.201.17 12:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Service 

message: Why is this phrase being repeatedly unlinked? 
* In 1919, Brighton Beach local and express service was extended to New West End Terminal at Stillwell and Surf Avenues, still the location of the current union terminal at Coney Island for all subway lines.
(Bolding added for emphasis.)
Coney Island station is and has always been a union terminal from the very beginning. It was built in 1919 to consolidate the four railroads that went to Coney Island. The Brooklyn, Bath and Coney Island Railroad, now known as the BMT West End Line ( train), the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad, now known as the IND Culver Line ( train), the New York and Sea Beach Railroad, now known as the BMT Sea Beach Line ( train), and the Brooklyn, Flatbush and Coney Island Railway, now known as the BMT Brighton Line ( train), all funnel into this station. They were all consolidated under the ownership of the BMT, until 1954 when the Culver line was taken over by the IND. In 1967 with the opening of the Chrystie Street Connection, IND trains were diverted into the BMT. Now the station is served by two IND services (D F trains) and two BMT services (N Q trains).

thread_title:  Coney Island union terminal 

message: First off User:Acps110, let me ask you this, how am I vandalizing? Secondly, I'm just following through the MTA official website (as you told me I have to provide proof sources) and the Q's schedule CLEARLY states that it operates between Astoria and Coney Island from about 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thirdly, saying trains operate from this stop to that stop for example, just like I'm seeing in other NYCS service articles, only misplaces the word between. Trains operate in both directions and same goes for other public transportation systems in the world (not just the NYC's subway), not just one direction!
Also, it seems quite obvious that you like the article the way it is and that's why you keep on reverting me, threaten me with warnings to be blocked from editing Wikipedia as you left the message on my talk page. What I putted on the article was correct because the MTA's schedule for the Q service from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., it operates between Astoria and Coney Island. I've said this NUMEROUS times already but I assume you just keep on ignoring me and reverting me left and right.
And I know what Wikipedia is, I am not going out of my way to edit war and get blocked but however, the way the info about the Q service in the introduction section as well as the 49th Street station are written feels incorrect to me. BECAUSE 49th Street is NOT the only station that the Q began stopping at, its also other stations north of 57th Street on the Broadway Line, the 60th Street Tunnel AND THE BMT Astoria Line. No matter what, we should always say between, not from this to that for example. I have kept on repeating this over and over, yet you are not being helpful at all but only you just keep on reverting and reverting. 68.194.58.106 (talk) 20:16, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, he is introducing factual errors, by jumbling up the service. His version reads as if a train travels from Queens to Brooklyn, then back to Manhattan, then back to Brooklyn all in one trip. As I pointed out to him a number of times (, , ) the lead of the article is a summary of the rest of the article (per WP:LEAD), so it should be in a similar order to the rest of the article.

replies: text: Thanks for bringing your concerns here, Acps110.  68.194.58.106, can you appreciate Acps110's point regarding WP:LEAD?  Perhaps there exists a way that the wording could be addressed in another section.  Just an observation from an uninformed perspective. Tiderolls 02:13, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

text: I had already reviewed the history after seeing the AIV report.  I think it would be best if you hold off editing until Acps110 has responded here.  I'm in no position to dictate your actions, I just want all parties to be careful to avoid a three revert situation. Tiderolls 22:08, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: R188 7 train and I have been in an endless debate on what should be the top picture in this article. Therefore, I would like you to help me vote for a picture to use in the infobox so we can settle the debate once and for all. Here are the options that will work best:
File:57th St BMT 23.jpg
File:57th St BMT 26.jpg
File:57th St BMT 27.jpg
File:Lex Av 63rd St IND td 26.jpg
File:Lex Av 63rd St IND td 35.jpg
File:MTA Kings Hwy BMT Brighton 04.jpg
File:NYC Transit 9052.jpg
File:R160 Q train at Coney Island.jpg
 
Personally, I like the sixth picture (at Kings Highway) since it is located outside and not in a dark environment. While R188 7 train prefers the seventh one because it is located in a new station. Neverthrless, it is up to you to determine the final result.
When you get the chance, please vote for what you think works best. Afterwards, the winner will be chosen and it will become the top picture.

thread_title:  Vote for Top Picture 

message: Hello,
I learned today that the Q train has a northbound-only rush hour service variant via the BMT Fourth Avenue and Sea Beach Lines—a service pattern that is not currently reflected in the article. Please see this source which contains two AM and four PM rush hour Q trains to 96th St-2 Av stopping along the Sea Beach Line at Gravesend-86th St. Conversely, see this source showing southbound trains stopping at Gravesend-86th; Q trains are absent. Finally, see this source for a breakdown of stops northbound rush hour Q trains make along the Sea Beach (local) and Fourth Avenue (express) lines.
I have drafted versions of an updated Q service pattern chart and a list of stations containing both service variants in my sandbox. I figured this was a pretty big edit to boldly implement (and I'm not advanced at HTML coding), so I wanted to check with others re: the accuracy/formatting of these tables before hopefully including them in this article. Thanks! Softmist (talk) 01:39, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
