I noticed that you removed the Okhotny Ryad/Ploshchad Revolyutsii transfer from the Sokolnicheskaya Line and Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line templates. Although it is true that no direct transfer exists between these two stations, passengers are nevertheless able to transfer from one to the other via Teatralnaya so I feel the current versions of the templates are misleading. The stations are not directly connected, but they are part of the same transfer complex and should be shown as such in the templates. The stations' articles should mention that they are not directly connected to each other, of course, but the transfer should still be shown in the templates since it is possible to transfer from one to the other.

To make the transfer links I used Template:Click, which lets an image link to an article instead of the image description page. There are instructions on Template talk:Click, but the code for it is
((Click | | image = <location of image> | link = <page to link to> | width = <width of image> | height = <height of image> ))For example, replacing
[[Image:stadot.png|8px]]with
((Click | | image = stadot.png | link = Turgenevskaya | width = 8px | height = 8px ))
makes the dot link to Turgenevskaya instead of Image:stadot.png. Hope this helps. Camerafiend 03:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I've expanded the brief in the Saint Petersburg Metro article a bit; I think it's okay length now and need not be shortened. I also made a separate note about the depth as it represents something unique about the city's Metro system; I fixed the line ...system exhibits many typical Soviet designs including very deep stations... as I don't think the Soviet era has anything to do with station depth. Please make a note here or on my talk page if you don't agree with my modifications. Regards, Canwolf 03:40, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello Kuban kazak!
I'm actually working on an SVG map with German transcriptions of the Minsk metro. I used this file as template. I have a few questions and hope, that you are able to answer them. I tried to contact the author of that webpage and of some other webpages, but I didn't get any responses.
Thanks in advance, --L.m.k talk 11:08, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
PS: If you respond on my talk page on the German Wikipedia, I would see it earlier.
Could you please check these? It all looks good, but since the contributions are by an anonymous user, I thought they'd better be re-checked. Thanks.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 14:27, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Kazak! I'm a new member of wikipedia project - so I don't know much about rules and instructions. You asked me if I can send some pictures of Kiyv metro - here they are:
If you have any question, please contact me by ICQ N 292921487

Dear Kuban kazak, nice work you did on the Kharkov metro map! I'll see if I can adjust my original Dutch version to your new lay-out :). There is by the way one minor error in your map: Ukrainian Radyaska should read Radyanska. Yours, Xyboi 12:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Could you please explain why you think a link to List of rapid transit systems from a page about a metro (read - rapid transit system) is irrelevant? Fyi, that page links back to Saint Petersburg Metro, and most other subway/metro pages (including Moscow Metro, New York Subway, London Underground) link to it, so it seems like a good convention. - Canwolf 23:32, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
The other articles could easily be added to the list for review, and since you mentioned them, I'll try to take a look at them today. The quickest way to get them in the queue, providing they're about rail transport (which I don't think will be a problem here), is to add ((TrainsWikiProject)) to the top of their talk pages. Without any further parameters, the template will add the talk page to Category:Unassessed rail transport articles, which I'm using as my current work list. The ratings are based on the scale described on Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Assessment. My ultimate goal is to get more rail transport-related articles up to WP:FA status (I've been working on research for Scott Special lately).
As to putting them in line for a DYK mention on Portal:Trains, add a blurb on Portal:Trains/Did you know candidates; I usually rotate one fact onto the portal per day so that one country's rail transport topics don't dominate (I try to avoid having more than two items from one country on any day). With the abundance of US topics in the suggestion list now, non-US suggestions would be very welcome. I place a higher preference on articles that have images because I set the section's image to one appropriate for the first DYK item on any given day. On the portal, we don't have a 5-days-or-less article age rule, but I'm trying to avoid running articles more than once a year. With a few thousand articles on rail transport topics, it will be some time before we have to re-evaluate this guideline. Slambo (Speak) 14:03, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
а куда статья пропала? я даже vfd найти не могу, если выносили на удаление, конечно... -Lone Guardian 04:53, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Our city authorities have finally figured out that Tbilisi Metro needs a website [4]. So far, the website is only in Georgian and is still under construction. I'll translate some info and upload a couple of images as soon as I find enough time. --Kober 05:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I also posted this question on the article talk page, so my apologies if repeating it here is a faux pas! So - I've heard that the Kyiv/Kiev metro system is the deepest in the world, with an 800m escalator at one of the city centre stations. Could you tell me if that's correct?
My other question is about the Putin quote you mentioned further up the same talk page. "If you want the USSR back you have no brains. If you can't be proud of being born there you have no heart" Do you have a text source for that? Russian is okay as I'm trying to learn!
It's a much more balanced quote than the one which usually gets repeated over here (England), about the "greatest geopolitical catastrophe", and would be fun to repeat next time someone starts ranting about the "evil empire"! :-)
Anyway, keep up the good work! I'm also a metro fan, though I don't yet have anything to contribute beyond what's already in the articles. Regards, Moyabrit 16:12, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I live in Rivne, Ukraine. Please do not revert my edits to English names in Rivne as they are accurate among the usage of English speakers in Rivne. In particular, the "Blue Church" is called the "Church of the Assumption" in every single piece of English-language tourist and historical writing to be found in Rivne. I have found "Church of the Dormition" written NOWHERE. (Taivo (talk) 18:11, 28 June 2008 (UTC))
Privyet! Well, I can not really hold a conversation in Russian, 'cause Serbian is not similar enough, so I guess I'll have to write in english. I recently made a new page for the Rostov-on-Don Metro. If you could add some stuff to it it would be good. (LAz17 (talk) 02:10, 5 October 2008 (UTC)).
