Revert Warning
I hope you understand the hypocrisy in telling me to not revert your edit when you twice reverted mine. Doesn't even make sense. I would encourage you to look at other American public transit systems such as Los Angeles, NYC, or Boston. I would also encourage looking at Chinese and Korean systems. They all follow this precedent. Sorting tables are never used because it is illogical to order the stations in any way other than that which they exist along the line. There is no value to ordering them alphabetically or by opening date. Timelines of extension are included elsewhere in the article.
Second, the color banners on tables are certainly optional but they are widely on wikipedia for transit systems with multiple lines. Again see Chinese and Korean metros as well as the Los Angeles metro rail system. though an argument can be certainly made for the case that since Line 2 has not opened yet there is no need for the banners.
In reality, there is no reason to get worked up over the edits I have made. It makes the table more consistent with the those from articles of other metro rail systems. And understand the hypocrisy of accusing me of starting an edit war when you reverted my edit first. ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cerviche (talk • contribs) 03:00, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- Cerviche, consensus requires more than examples copied between random articles. As the three Sound Transit articles have gone through some form of peer review (one of which was passed at FA), it is expected to reflect community consensus on basic layout. Your edits to the tables do not improve the articles at all. SounderBruce 03:30, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
Featured Article
Since you brought up the topic of featured articles, I would recommend looking at MTR and AirTrain JFK. Those are in line with the changes I made to the Link articles. The changes do in fact make the article better as it makes the stations table more consistent with the formatting used on other peer reviewed featured articles. In fact, the MTR article is considered one fo the gold standard articles for metro systems on wikipedia. Just because you don't like the change does not mean you can claim it's bad. You have no justification for why the table should be sortable when this is not done on other featured project trains articles. As I said above, it's illogical for the table to be sortable. The use of color is debatable but again, among featured articles in Project Trains there is plenty of precedent for this formatting choice. Articles can always be improved. Just because Line 1 (Sound Transit) is featured does not mean it is immune to changes.

Category:Wikipedia featured topics Line 1 (Sound Transit) stations good content
Hello, SounderBruce,
If you are going to assign nonexistent categories to articles, it would help if you would create the categories and fit them into the existing category structure on Wikipedia so they don't show up as errors. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 05:39, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Liz, I apologize for the category error, but please let me know before reverting across the entire set of talk pages. Moving a Featured/good topic is not exactly well-explained anywhere in the documentation, so things get missed. I do not appreciate having to put in extra work with no warning.

- @Damien Linnane: I applied for the WikiProject Oregon crown, as I already have a normal one. Sorry for the confusion. SounderBruce 00:00, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry for overlooking that. It's so rare that someone applies for a project Triple Crown; as soon as I see a one line nomination I assume it's for the regular Triple Crown. I'm changing yours and updating our records accordingly. :) Damien Linnane (talk) 03:38, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
WikiCup 2021 March newsletter
Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.
The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.
Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.
Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Thank you today for University of Washington station, "about a glass box in front of a football stadium that tens of thousands of people enter in order to descend 100 feet and board a train. In other words, a pretty standard train station, though one that had a long and complex planning process that preceded its construction."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
Today's featured "glass box"
Congratulations on getting University of Washington station featured at Today's featured article! I have been using the general layout of this article as a model to try an improve the articles for the stations on the Aoimori Railway Line, namely Kominato Station which is being reviewed for promotion to Good Article status. I really enjoy seeing all of your work of the infrastructure of the Puget Sound region, it's some of the best content out there! ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 00:39, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Mccunicano: Thanks for the shoutout. I'll be watching your progres in Aoimori with great interest, as my grandmother was from the region and used to ride the older lines back in the 1950s. You should definitely shoot for a Good topic of those stations! SounderBruce 05:25, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- I really would like to go make it a good topic, but I'm just not sure there's enough material (even in print) out there for some of the very rural ones plus I'm only going to have access to libraries in Aomori for another few months. That's cool to hear that you have a tie to the region! ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 07:21, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
Request of removing inappropriate pictures on all stations of Central Link
Hi Bruce, there are a lot of disturbing and inappropriate pictures along with all station pages of Central Link of Sound Transit and I wish you can help me remove them. Can you do that? Thx. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JC1199154 (talk • contribs) 03:18, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- @JC1199154: Where are you seeing these inappropriate pictures? SounderBruce 05:26, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- @SounderBruce: Most of the stations along the route like on the top and I'm seeing a male probably nude and was kneeling down to another person with just their feet. There are two identical pictures in the same section.
Why did you remove template for MLS on ESPN in the article for the 2019 MLS Cup?
About two weeks ago, I placed a newly created template for MLS on ESPN in the article for MLS Cup 2019. You immediately removed it without giving a formal explanation, even though sources indicate that the game aired on ESPN's sister network, ABC that year. We know this for sure, because Fox Sports had the rights to the All-Star Game that year, since it currently only has the rights to the MLS Cup in even numbered years. What, we're not supposed to tell readers who broadcasts the MLS' championship game (outside of the article listing the broadcasters in itself) in the respective article? BornonJune8 (talk) 08:19, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- BornonJune8, no other piece of recognized sports content on Wikipedia uses navboxes to display broadcasters. As the information can easily be found in two other lists, it is wholly unnecessary and feels in the same vein as the situation described at WP:PERFNAV. MLS Cup broadcasts also don't fall under any of the programming blocks described in the navboxes, so to link them together is misleading and pointless. SounderBruce 09:29, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Access date for Newspapers.com citations
Hi Bruce - congrats on the recent TFA. Re Hollywood/Western station, I'm of the opinion that since Newspapers.com clips are images of physical newspapers, which obviously won't change, an access date is not needed. I've opened a discussion here that might interest you. Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:18, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
