[edit] Crowding out the text?
I'm a touch concerned regarding the enlargement of the image showing the street entrance. My main concern is that the images will crowd out the text. I'm all for the image and think it's a great addition, but I'm just worried that the current size is crowding out the text...
Comments appreciated. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pl?
Shouldn't it be "Gallery Place-Chinatown"? john k 04:22, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- On signage and the map, it's "Gallery Pl-Chinatown". Only exception is where it's "GALLERY PLACE" on the inside LEDS on the CAF, Rehab, and Alstom cars. SchuminWeb (Talk) 19:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- This seems hardly definitive. The fact is that everyone calls it "Gallery Place." It seems rather perverse to repeatedly call it "Gallery Pl", which is rather awkward. Street signs and maps often give abbreviated names for streets, as well (Market St., Strathmore Ave., Aurora Dr.), but that doesn't mean we can't give the full name. "Pl" stands for "Place." john k 01:09, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- "Gallery Pl-Chinatown" appears to be the official name, based on WMATA's site. SchuminWeb (Talk) 10:53, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- This is what is used in writing. But "Pl" means "Place." It's not as though people speaking out loud say "Gallery Pluh". john k 20:21, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
