Moai AFDYour AFD is currently one of the only ones so far that made me laugh. Panini📚 02:34, 1 April 2021 (UTC) David AckermanEpic, I’m not sure how to reach you. I have proof of all I stated about David Ackerman. I am not sure why you are unable to find it. I am happy to send it to you; including his final will and testament. Our family kept impeccable records, even back to the 1600’s, as they had befriended a known record keeper named Dirck Storm. Thank you, The Farris Family

Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:01, 18 April 2021 (UTC) Your GA nomination of 28th Street station (IRT Lexington Avenue Line)Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 28th Street station (IRT Lexington Avenue Line) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. Northernmost point vs. northernmost neighborhood / North Riverdale vs. WakefieldSee my recent edit to the article for North Riverdale, Bronx, where I added a source that places the northernmost point of New York City on the campus of the College of Mount Saint Vincent in North Riverdale. Many maps show New York City at an angle to make the island of Manhattan appear to run north / south, which makes the northern border with Westchester County appear to run east / west and thus makes the northern tip of Wakefield, Bronx appear to be furthest north. In terms of northernmost points it's unequivocally in North Riverdale. But how do you measure northernmost neighborhood? Is it based on the location of the northernmost point in the neighborhood or of the neighborhood's mid-point? Is North Riverdale a neighborhood on its own or is it a sub-neighborhood of Riverdale, Bronx (as the article for North Riverdale states in the lead)? I think that your edits are correct, but that there is still some ambiguity that can be addressed by addition of appropriate sources. As always with anything New York City-related, I'd appreciate your thoughts. Alansohn (talk) 15:28, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

I have no personal knowledge of the train lines around New York (green or otherwise), and the IRT lines at least have green signs, so I fixed DAB-style formatting but left the IRT lines in place. The IP editor has made similar additions to the articles for other-colored lines. I left a message on their talk page about DAB pages, but it may (possibly) be worth another message about naming of New York train lines. Leschnei (talk) 13:34, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

I remember when in high school I wrote a really good paper for AP English, and got it back with red markup completely covering it, with a B- grade at the top. After your edits, this article is now worthy of a DYK. Thanks for the edit, I'm going to take some pics, see if I can get good at something... Barnstar with detail for you...  |
