New Orleans car 29

[edit]

I just noticed your recent addition of car 29 to the roster of streetcars in the Streetcars In New Orleans article. The information is inaccurate, and the reference is dubious. The number of seats in car 29 is 0. A better reference would be Louis Hennick's definitive work The Streetcars of New Orleans, or his "Appendix III" to that work, which can be found on my website at http://friedman.cs.illinois.edu/app3/App3.htm There is also a web site devoted specifically to car 29: http://friedman.cs.illinois.edu/car29/Car29.htm HGFriedman (talk) 18:45, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you sure for your clarifications. I will make amends soon. Tape fanatic 007 (talk) 13:03, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Funnily enough, they have a copy of "The Streetcars of New Orleans" at my school library but someone had checked it out. I have made your suggested edits. Tape fanatic 007 (talk) 13:11, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have actually seen #29 doing some track maintenance. Tape fanatic 007 (talk) 13:14, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Mike Brady (illustrator)

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Mike Brady (illustrator) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

New Orleans streeetcar - Rampart reconstruction

[edit]

I was glad to see your edit to the Rampart-St Claude line article announcing its reconstruction and imminent reopening. Do you plan to make a similar edit to the Riverfront line article? HGFriedman (talk) 13:52, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Although I don't have any information about what will happen to the riverfront line. I assume that it will stop at the foot of canal street because the overhead lines are damaged, based on my observations, past the canal street foot. I also have no idea when service will fully be restored as NORTA hasn't even acknowledged the fact that the overhead lines are missing. Likely, due to the fact that the canal street ferry terminal was a larger priority.
Sidenote: Are you the guy who runs the runs the Friedman streetcar album site? Tape fanatic 007 (talk) 14:05, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's my site. friedman.cs.illinois.edu/  :-) HGFriedman (talk) 15:26, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your site helped me solve a mystery. For years I had wondered why there was a sign on a building that said "Riverfront Streetcar Barn" even though it was nowhere near the line lol. Now it makes sense.
Also there's an abandoned NOPSI substation near me. Tape fanatic 007 (talk) 18:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that the Rampart St. Claude line will be operated from Elysian Fields to UPT. While the Loyola-riverfront arrangement is spun off into it's own line. [2]https://www.norta.com/getmedia/5af0729a-d537-4ea3-8280-48dd7a72c05b/Streetcars_12,-46,-47,-48,-49.pdf
So I guess Loyola-UPT and Rampart aren't the same thing anymore lol. Tape fanatic 007 (talk) 13:37, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It also appears they have updated the numbers, names, and colors. So uhh, we might have to do some major updates lol.
Instead of the confusingly titled Rampart-St. Claude, there are now two branch lines. Tape fanatic 007 (talk) 13:52, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cross section integration moved to draftspace

[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Cross section integration. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Broc (talk) 17:14, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Technology Connections

[edit]

Hello Tape fanatic 007, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Technology Connections, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Technology Connections.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Sdkb}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Edit to New Orleans RTA article

[edit]

You wrote that the Loyola-Riverfront line "Utilizes trackage from Rampart-Loyola, Canal, and St. Charles line." St. Charles? Did you mean Riverfront? I don't think it utilizes any St. Charles line trackage. HGFriedman (talk) 14:43, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that's a mistake. I'm very tired at the moment. Yeah no, it's not St. Charles it's riverfront trackage. Tape fanatic 007 (talk) 17:00, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Orleans plans re. Desire line

[edit]

Hi, Tape Fanatic. I just saw your mention in Streetcars in New Orleans, Future Network Expansion, about the switches installed at Canal and Basin. These were intended for what became the Rampart-St. Claude line. I don't think RTA ever seriously considered restoring the Desire line as it had been up to 1948, but railfans talked about restoring the Desire line when what was actually contemplated was restoring the old St. Claude line.

I don't have access to New Orleans Magazine to check what it actually said. But your next reference, from railwaypreservation.com, mentions the "Desire corridor." I think calling it the Desire Line was a bit of railfan wishful thinking.

I would recommend referring to it as Desire corridor or St. Claude Line.

Cheers, George HGFriedman (talk) 16:28, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah fair, I forgot the initial proposal had it go through basin street.
I'll see if I can find a way to send you a scan of the article. Tape fanatic 007 (talk) 16:55, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! HGFriedman (talk) 17:15, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the meantime I have retracted it. Tape fanatic 007 (talk) 17:16, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. But you're right that the switches were there, at Canal & Basin and Canal & N. Rampart. I think they had been thinking of a loop terminal for a line roughly the same as the old St. Claude Line. Then they decided to through-route it with the Loyola-UPT line, so when that was built, the original (unused) switches came out. HGFriedman (talk) 17:23, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have emailed you a scan of the article along with another article I thought you might find interesting. Hopefully that will clear things up. Tape fanatic 007 (talk) 15:44, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just finished reading the two articles. Thanks for sending them! Very interesting. HGFriedman (talk) 16:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
