It says that Maryland was added for the time with the extension to Shady Grove in December 1984, but it lists several Maryland stations at earlier times, including Grovesnor in August 1984 and Silver Spring in February 1978. That doesn't make any sense.
Can someone please fix the red line map that is provided in this article? The fact that it is not at all at scale and in fact draws weird and inaccurate boundary lines (i.e. the District line) should be remedied.
Information on various articles state that Shady Grove, Rockville, White Flint, and Grosvenor opened a month before Tenleytown-AU, Friendship Heights, Bethesda, and Medical Center and that Twinbrook opened four months after its neighboring stations were opened. I don't understand how that would work. --Jnelson09 (talk) 20:42, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Article is looking quite good, but was missing mention of the 2004 Woodley Park accident, so I added text from the main Washington Metro article about that and added two photos. I think some additional non-accident photos could be nice too, but no sure what. Cheers. --Aude (talk) 03:33, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that if we are going to discuss accidents like this, we should also discuss the 1996 collision at Shady Grove to complete our discussion of Red Line accidents. The accident pictures, however, I think are a little overkill in this context, since we've used the same photos elsewhere, and since it's a general article about the Red Line. Otherwise, just by looking at the pictures, one would almost think that the Red Line is where all the accidents happen. I agree that some non-accident photos would be a good idea. Let me see what I have in my archives, and I'll post a few new ones up. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:14, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
History section needs to be enlarged. What areas was the Red Line designed to serve? When did construction begin, etc.?
The first lead paragraph explains that it links Montgomery county to downtown DC. I will expand the history and have added two system maps. Racepacket (talk) 04:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC) I added sentence re: groundbreaking for Red Line construction. Racepacket (talk) 04:06, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
Needs a map showing the line's route. Listing the stations doesn't tell how it fits into the system.

As indicated on the reviewer's talk page, I am working to address the concerns noted. Thanks for the review. Racepacket (talk) 04:23, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: Speedy close and not moved, partly because of WP:SNOW, and partly because the IP has a disruptive history of insisting that article titles be lowercased. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:42, 25 January 2024 (UTC) Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:42, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose with extreme prejudice. Shall we go around to virtually all the lines of all the other subway and metro systems, to apply a solution in search of a problem? Uporządnicki (talk) 10:38, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. WP:NCCAPS says to lowercase unless there is a clear majority of independent reliable sources that capitalise. Per the sources below, nearly all such sources capitalise "Line" in the names of Washington Metro lines. Thryduulf (talk) 16:23, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In no particular order, here is a complete list of usage in running prose in the independent (apparently) reliable sources I found searching for "red line" "Washington Metro" (and then the same but for the green and silver lines). Excluded are sites that are not independent, clearly unreliable (e.g. forums), those that didn't use it in prose, those that only referred to multiple lines (e.g. "Green and Blue lines") and two sites that didn't capitalise the colour word (e.g. "take a red line train"). They are listed in no particular order. Thryduulf (talk) 16:24, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
