Wow, that's gnarly. This page sits untouched for months, then two of us start wikifying the stations. Should we decide on some sort of uniform format, like what the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Station Stations tried to do, but has apparently lay idle?
Also, what about format for the station pages names? There is no present Wikiproject for station (naming). I took a cue from the tube stations (where one is Acton Town tube station), and named mine Foggy Bottom-GWU Washington Metro station. Now, "Metro Center" is pretty unique, but I just wanted input. I'm new here, but already hopelessly addicted, and scared to death that I'm doing things wrong. --Golbez 03:04, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Just another thought - if we have to disambiguate station pages, then that creates some non-standard names.
For example, we would have: Foggy Bottom-GWU Tenleytown-AU Van Ness-UDC
But then we would require disambiguated names for ones like: Rockville Vienna Smithsonian Anacostia
So should we just go with one format? I'm gonna play around in the Wikiproject now.
