Hello! Your submission of Park Avenue main line at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! SounderBruce 09:10, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
the current plan is to replace the P32s with dual mode sc-44s and replace the shoreliner coaches with multilevel coaches. M9s will come one day, but metro north is not planning on it being soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheesy popcorn (talk • contribs) 16:00, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
no plan is set in stone, but dual mode chargers and multilevels seems most likely
A friendly question for you from a clueless outsider to the whole MTA bus situation: is the list of buses here just based off of the four MTA maps you cited there? Is there anything more conclusive? Because the MTA's station listing and the GCT website only list a small handful of buses. As well, I looked at those PDFs and I suppose I can sorta see that the buses go near Grand Central, but do all of them stop at one of the terminal's entrances, or how closeby? Do those PDFs show stops somewhere? If you are confident about those buses being relevant on the GCT article, shouldn't you list them as connections on articles like Park Avenue main line, Hudson Line, Harlem Line (all of which mention some bus connections) and maybe New Haven Line (which strangely omits bus connections)? ɱ (talk) 17:28, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
Early last year, we had a discussion on my talk page about whether the article was ready to be a GA. I have fixed several of the citations and added some. I will look for more on its 2003 station renovation. What else do you think needs to be done before it is nominated? Thanks.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 21:02, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Welcome to the fifth newsletter for the new Growth team!
The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.
We began the "Personalized first day" project with the welcome survey so that we could gather information about what newcomers are trying to accomplish. The next step is to use that information to create experiences that help the newcomers accomplish their goal – actually personalizing their first day. We asked for community thoughts in the previous newsletter, and after discussing with community members and amongst our team, we are now planning two projects as next steps: "engagement emails" and "newcomer homepage".
We have published initial reports on each of the team's first two projects. These reports give the basic numbers from each project, and there are many more questions we will continue to answer in future reports. We're excited about these initial findings. They have already helped us define and design parts of our future projects.
The help panel was deployed in Czech and Korean Wikipedias on January 10. Over the past four weeks:
We think that the 20% open rate and 50% click rate are strong numbers, showing that a lot of people are looking for help, and many want to help themselves by looking at help pages. The somewhat lower numbers of asking questions (especially in Korean Wikipedia) has caused us to consider new features to allow people to help themselves. We're going to be adding a search bar to the help panel next, which will allow users to type a search that only looks for pages in the Help and Wikipedia namespaces.
What is the way to built a good help page? What blocks you when writing an help page? Your replies will help to create better help contents to newcomers, that would be used on Help panel.

How did you get all the pages in the category Dutch place names in New York State to reclassify themselves in New York (state)? Did you have to change them one by one?
Sorry to give you extra work. deisenbe (talk) 13:22, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
On 21 February 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 190th Street (IND Eighth Avenue Line), which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that for 25 years, pedestrians in Hudson Heights, New York City, paid a subway fare to use the elevators in the 190th Street station to avoid climbing an eight-story hill? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/190th Street (IND Eighth Avenue Line). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

On 22 February 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article IND Sixth Avenue Line, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during construction of New York City's Sixth Avenue subway line in the 1930s, workers had to build around various utilities and tunnels, including an existing railroad tunnel and an elevated line? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/IND Sixth Avenue Line. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Do you have any suggestions in terms of this list I and Mtattrain have been working on? Any new idea for sources? Thanks.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:17, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
Sometimes a more chronological view of a topic is helpful, especially if it just covers the basics. I just created Draft:Timeline of Grand Central Terminal based on the FL Timeline of Briarcliff Manor, which you're invited to add to! I might really want to keep it to the main essentials: construction, renovation, additions, other major changes. Lmk what you think, ɱ (talk) 19:22, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
Template:Bakerloo line extension 2014 plan RDT has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:26, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Yup. There’s some dude who keeps changing the top picture on the R train page again. Please help. I’m getting sick and tired of this constant change of photos and I wish there was a way to ban these guys.

Epicgenius, it's been over three weeks since you said you'd be doing the QPQ for this DYK nomination. Just a quick reminder that it needs to be done soon. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:44, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
