Copyright Violations and Inappropriate Sources

It is important not to violate copyrights when writing material for Wikipedia. I had to remove material about the R44 speed trails that was copied directly from nycsubway.org. I rewrote it with a citation to that site.

Subway car assignments to particular yards and lines occur at the discretion of transit agency management and are trivial details. If a particular assignment made it difficult for a class of riders (ie wheelchairs) to board trains, and referenced material could be cited, then the assignment of cars to a line is significant. The use Communication Based Train Control on certain lines is significant, so a car assignment can be noted for that, based on referenced material. JoeKorner is a railbuff site with material of interest to a very limited audience and, in any event, is not reliable enough for encyclopedic use. Raryel (talk) 02:36, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

R44s on the C

Please do not say that R44s are assigned to the C. They are only running on the C due to the R32s yearly A/C problems. They are still assigned to the A. Until a reliable source (datasheet, etc) states that they are assigned to the C, leave the line assignments as they are. Coasterlover1994^{Leave your mark!} 05:15, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, they can be off the C tomorrow morning depending on how the R32s are doing and what trains will be used on the C tomorrow.--IGeMiNix (talk) 23:25, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What is meant by Formation in Infobox?

This text, newly added to the Infobox, makes very little sense: 4 car sets with complete 3 cars on front and one on back of third car. Could someone improve upon it? Dhtwiki (talk) 23:25, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in R44 (New York City Subway car)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of R44 (New York City Subway car)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "CapitalProgram":

From North Shore Branch: "MTA Twenty-Year Capital Needs Assessment 2015–2034" (PDF). mta.info. MTA Capital Program. Retrieved 16 December 2015.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 21:27, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
