[edit] Map
I put this map form NJT in, as discussion said a map was needed. I hope I improved the page, if not please discard my change. The map does not label the Cut Off. I think that the earlier 1910 usage of Lackawanna cutoff was just a part of the current project. The Cut off is not specifically shown. The external links have maps that might be used with permission. NJT forbids substantial alteration of their image, but marking the cut off on their map might not be considered substantial alteration.Geo8rge 20:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Unfortunately that map isn't really "free." What we need instead is for someone to create the map by hand using free sources, such as aerial images produced by the USGS, whose work is in the public domain. —lensovet–talk – 21:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Station/landmarks listing
The current version, as edited by me, I believe, makes more sense. It has a column for the municipality/town in which the station is located, and then a link to an article about the station itself. The fact that the links are all red shouldn't bother anyone. Otoh, the version is just reverted, last edited by Wallyfromcolumbia, has two columns which show nearly identical information and links for all of the rows. I ask, what is this the purpose of this second column (which, mind you, is labeled Station/Landmark) if it's going to have the exact same info as the first column? Please leave the current table content as is. —lensovet–talk – 00:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
If the purpose of creating a second column as a link to "station information", I certainly don't object...unless the link is dead (empty). That's when the link appears as red, which doesn't look good, particularly if one clicks on one of these. My suggestion would be to keep the links pointing to "live" links, even if they are duplicative, for the time being, and then switch them over to the station information files as these are created. --76.1.242.58 (talk) 19:18, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Image size dispute
WallyFromColumbia (talk · contribs), I noticed your enthusiasm for this particular article and wanted to mention that I've reverted your edits on image size. Using the "thumb" parameter alone without indicating a px size allows user preferences to command the size of the image. If you want to see large images by default, you can change your preferences. Do remember that everyone viewing this article will have varying sizes of monitors and we want to maximize accessibility to this article. Your preferences for the article tended to incorporate gaps in text and larger than normal image sizes (unnecessarily, so). Can you explain why you'd like to see all images at least 350px on this page? --Rkitko (talk) 21:52, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
