Flickr

Here's a decent picture on flickr of Dundas station (with the proper license, of course). I'm far to lazy to do this myself right now. Mr. Absurd (talk) 04:49, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"The only station where.."

"Dundas is the only station in Toronto where the northbound and southbound platforms are in separate fare-paid areas"

I don't normally stop at Queen Station, but I was there tonight and I could have sworn that it too has separate fare-paid areas for the platforms. I can go back and check, but does anyone else know for sure? Skootles (talk) 04:19, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can cross platforms under the tracks in the fare paid tunnel at the Queen Street East/West Collectors areas, there is also a crossover above the tracks at the northern "Albert Street" Entrance (Street no longer exists but the entrance is still referred to as Queen Albert) (its the entrance just south of Shuter Street) eja2k 05:14, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Short description

Hi @User:Joeyconnick, you've twice reverted (technically edit warring) my edit on the short description. While I understand the importance of consistency, it should not supersede a sensible edit. As I stated in my last edit summary, it doesn't make sense to repeat "Toronto" in the short description, since it's in the title itself, and adding Canada is helpful to readers who do not know where Toronto is. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 05:14, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Joeyconnick, please take the time to address this matter. Our disagreement isn't settled until we can find a compromise. Thank you. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 03:24, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Or, one could look at the situation and see someone who made an edit, which was reverted to the WP:STATUSQUO, and then proceeded to redo their edit instead of trying to talk about it. If that's not edit warring (it is, though, of course), it's certainly against the spirit of WP:BRD.

Anyway, while I take your point regarding repetition, since we use the same short description for all the Toronto subway stations, I think it's clear that consistency is the more important factor and we can handle a bit of redundancy for the sake of it.

Also, just so we're clear: it's super-rude to order someone to engage on a matter at Wikipedia. You have ZERO idea what is or isn't going on in my life, so how about not getting snarky with me because I didn't respond fast enough for your liking? Maybe try reading WP:AGF. The text of a short description is not some life-ending catastrophe—it certainly doesn't require a 24-hour turnaround. —Joeyconnick (talk) 03:45, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Joeyconnick, I accept your first point, but only partially. You reverted without providing a reason, which is rude and borders on pettiness, that's why I felt justified to revert back.

I'll accept the short description as it is, or else I should start changing them on all Toronto subway stations.

As for your last point, you seem to thrive on hyperbole! If "please take the time to address this matter" is an order, then the word has drastically changed meaning without my noticing. Secondly, I checked your activity since I left the comment and saw that you had since been active. I now see that I may have been mistaken on that point, due to time difference, so if that is the case and you were not otherwise active on Wikipedia, then I am indeed at fault. Lastly, before you accuse someone of being "super rude", please remember that you don't set the best example by reverting without providing a rationale.
