Burlington Route color
I just converted the color of the Template:CB&Q color from white to a more traditional Cascade Green, which is closer to that of the Burlington Northern Railway, but still green enough. Is it okay with you, and if not should I revert it, or do you want to do it? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 02:14, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- Eh, I don't think that color correctly represents the old coloring of the CB&Q. If anything, it should be black or light grey as evidenced by this picture. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 18:50, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, I reverted it. I was originally looking for a darker shade of green, but that's neither here or there at this point. Do you know what the color code is for light grey? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 19:30, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- An easy way to find the color codes is to use a site such as colorpicker. You can use it if you wish. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 19:31, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- Once I get the hang of it, I guess I'll be able to get the color right. Anyway, kudos on the Pennsylvania Railroad S-lines. There are a few in the Midwest I'm waiting for you to add them to, like Lima Pennsylvania Railroad Passenger Depot, and maybe some others, but I'm sure you'll get to it eventually. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 22:29, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- Oops, looks like I missed that on—it's added now. I am trying to go west to east but if you see any more that I missed please point them out to me. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 22:33, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- Cool. There a couple of weird ones at Indianapolis Union Station, though. The Chicago-Louisville and South Bend-Indy lines are claiming that the previous stations are Lebanon (NJT station) for some reason. Also, I fixed the dab page for North Philadelphia, and adjusted a previous station at Baltimore Penn Station. Regarding Baltimore Penn, is there any chance the site of the former Woodberry (PRR station) is the current site of Woodberry (Baltimore Light Rail station)? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 23:13, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- Alright, fixed the Indianapolis ones. And there is a good chance the PRR station is near the same site of the light rail station as it runs on the old right of way. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 23:18, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Exchange Place
New York and Long Branch Railroad connected to Perth Amboy and Elizabethport Railroad and operated to Communipaw Terminal, I believe. Is there some validity to adding the Hudson and Manhattan, which was "railroad" despite being rapid transit hi-speed line which stopped at Grove Street and Hudson Terminal and Hoboken Terminal? Djflem (talk) 19:28, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- It might have, but the New York and Long Branch was also partly owned by the PRR which connected back to it's mainline (now the Northeast Corridor). I have a book (the 1941 Official Guide of the Railways) that shows service coming from Bay Head Junction into Exchange Place, as well as Penn Station. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 21:29, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- Does that have any tips on the Perth Amboy and Woodbridge Railroad? -------User:DanTD (talk) 05:54, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
PRR S-rail issues
There was an S-Rail template added to the Pennsylvania Railroad Station-Wilkinsburg that incorrectly led to Edgewood (LIRR station). I corrected this error, but now it has me wondering if there has ever been a former Pennsylvania Railroad Station in the vicinity of Edgewood (MARC station). If there was, I hope that in the future, the redlink won't be incorrectly redirected to that one. -------User:DanTD (talk) 13:48, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

B&O s-rail issue; Maryland vs. Ohio
I just found out that the Template:B&O stations, Barnesville station(Barnesville (B&O station)) on the Metropolitan Subdivision lead to the Barnesville Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Depot in Ohio, rather than the station on the MARC Brunswick Line. I just corrected this, but something on that template should still lead to the station in Ohio. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 11:34, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah a Barnesville, OH parameter could be added, but it's not really necessary until a station next to the Barnesville station is created. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 21:02, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, that's perfectly understandable. BTW, I had to make a similar adjustment to Clinton (IC station) on the Illinois Central Main Line, because as an Amtrak link in the Fulton (Amtrak station) station article, it was leading to Clinton (Shore Line East station). However upon examining station articles along the City of New Orleans (train), I realized there were actually two different Clinton (IC station)s in Kentucky and Mississippi. The dab may not be necessary now, but like the two Barnesville B&O's I hope something is done about them when it is necessary. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 03:02, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Thale film article edit conflict
Hello, can you please take a look at an issue with the article for the film Thale? Here is the article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thale_(film)
Another editor keeps reverting edits and making false accusations of vandalism saying that a listing of user ratings on IMDb and user ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and a Wordpress blog are reliable sources, when they are not. Blogs and IMDb are not reliable sources.
The section that keeps being reverted where the Wordpress blog is supposedly listed as a reliable source is this:
Specialist review site NordicFantasy praised the uniqueness of the film and said it "manages to seamlessly blend a crime mystery with a triller in a fantasy wrapping. Thale does things that fantasy movies almost never do." [1]
I suspect, though I could be wrong, that this Wordpress blog belongs to the editor who keeps reverting these edits.
The section that also keeps being added back about Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb user ratings is this:
Rottentomatoes is less positive. Six out of 11 critics gave the movie a positive review (55% on the 'Tomatometer'). The audience on that website was even less positive; the movie has a 31% approval rating based on 1258 user ratings. IMDB rates the movie unfavorably as well, with a score of 5,4/10 based on votes from 2264 users.
Please correct me if I am wrong if these are in fact reliable sources, since it seems to me they are clearly not going by Wikipedia.
If you could help settle this issue I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.Neptune's Trident (talk) 15:44, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
- I do believe that Rotten Tomatoes is a alright reference to use, but IMDB is not. I am not an expert on film articles, but I searched for a GA and found that Scream (1996 film) and other articles use Rotten Tomatoes in the critical views sections. I do not see IMDb in any of these sections, so I would assume that this is not recommended. I would encourage you to not edit war with the other editor and discuss this on the WikiProject Film page. Cheers, —GFOLEY FOUR!— 02:26, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

More PRR S-rail issues
Have you considered making an S-Line for the Pennsylvania Railroad Chester Creek Branch? I was thinking of adding them to Lenni (SEPTA station) and Lamokin Street (SEPTA station). ---------User:DanTD (talk) 15:03, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, looks like I forgot about that branch. Feel free to add it. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 03:08, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- Man, if I knew what all the stations were along the branch, I'd add them right now. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 05:25, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- UPDATE I found a source, and created the S-Lines. When I find more of them, I'll make them. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 15:39, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

PROD for Cleveland Circle and Reservoir (MBTA stations)
Hey, just wanted to let you know that I proded Cleveland Circle and Reservoir (MBTA stations), which you've previously worked on, for deletion. They're really two separate stations, not a single station complex of the sort seen on the NYC subway. All the content (including a bunch of history which I just added) is now at the separate station articles. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 03:49, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, the article has been dePRODed, and is now at AFD. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 16:24, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
