==Welcome== Hello Brianvdb and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. Try to be civil by following simple guidelines and signing your talk comments with ~~~~ but never forget that one of our central tenets is to ignore all rules.
If you want to learn more, Wikipedia:Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy:

Float around until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. Additionally, the Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English as well as the cleanup, welcoming, and counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 19:26, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked?
I've unblocked all three autoblockers of users I blocked earlier today, could you see if that worked? NSLE (T+C) at 10:56 UTC (2006-04-03)
- Sure did! Thanks! --Brianvdb 11:00, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Great Mall/Main (VTA)
I think that perhaps we should leave the article about the transit center in the main article, Great Mall of the Bay Area, to which it was originally appended. The transit center, while important, does not seem to need a separate article when there is an option of appending it to a larger article. Note the precedent at San Francisco International Airport, where the BART station is simply part of the main article, without a separate page. Bayberrylane 21:44, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Air disasters

Hey mate, is their any easier way to talk to people then going to their user talk page?
[edit] James Logan High School
Hey, what's up? Let's get back together and work on the Logan article again, we got rebuffed pretty badly with the good article nom... so yeah. If you have time, let's try this one again. -- Jjjsixsix (t)/(c) @ 22:24, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mountain View - Winchester (VTA)
Great article! But I think you misreference Champion (VTA) as added along the Guadalupe trackway in Tasman West when it is actually between Lick Mill (VTA) and Tasman (VTA), the segment of which was added in Tasman West since Guadalupe ended at Tasman. I think you've mistaken it for another station Bayberrylane 13:01, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

- The original Guadelupe line ran from Old Ironsides station to Civic Center (it was gradually expanded to Santa Teresa). Champion was added as part of the Tasman West extension as an intermediate stop along the existing trackway.
-
- Champion was the first completed element of the Tasman West project, and was for a short time, part of the Guadalupe line (which, at the time was the ONLY line). When the stations west of Old Ironsides opened, VTA split the system into two lines - one running from Downtown Mountain View to Baypointe, the other running from Baypointe to Santa Teresa.
-
- The Guadalupe line's history is fairly well referenced in Mountain View - Winchester (VTA) with San Jose Mercury News articles. If you have some sources that show a different progression, please let me know. Thanks. --Brianvdb 19:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
