Adam, I am not sure where you get your information George Grieve is not the CEO of Stagecoach US Operations. George is the Northern District General Manager for Coach at our Shortline Facility. The title of CEO/COO goes to Dale Moser. I currently work for Coach USA in Pittsburgh and Dale was just in town not too long ago

• Hi there, I just want to ask you a question about NYCT MCI D-series bus engine. Are you sure it is DD 60 engine not DD 50. MTA fleet is only DD50 engine. BWCNY 04:08, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I noticed you've made this edit a second time now, and I wanted to point out that the edit is incorrect. The Newark Light Rail never was called the #7 City Subway; take a look at the NLR article for yourself to see this. Thanks! —lensovet–talk – 01:01, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there, I was just wondering if there is a reason why "no" is capitalized and in bold? Also, why not just use a checkbox instead of yes/no, like ✓ or ✔ ? —lensovet–talk – 08:03, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:IngersollRandLogo.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:07, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Your new MTA navbox, {{MTA (New York)}}, is very well done. Unfortunately, it has considerable overlap with other navigation boxes that already exist. If you look at the bottom of 1 (New York City Subway Service), you will see that the box you added links to many of the same articles as the navbox that was already there, {{NYCS infobox}}.

It may well be that we'll all conclude your box is better, and that the old one should be deprecated. Then again, maybe not. I am fairly confident, however, that both should not be present in the same article. There's too much duplication.

I have launched a discussion topic at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Subway. I would ask you to put your thoughts there, along with others who are regularly working on the subway articles. I would also ask you not to put your {{MTA (New York)}} template on any further subway articles until there is a consensus about what to do. Marc Shepherd 14:03, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why have you included the Putnam Line in the MTA infobox, when it was never operated by the MTA (excepting the Marble Hill stub, which is hardly on a par with the Hudson Line, Harlem Line, etc.)? Choess 15:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I was rather puzzled as to why you reverted my change to USG Corporation, moving it out of the Category:Companies established in 1901 and back into the more general Category:1901 establishments. Is USG Corporation not a company? Greenshed 12:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are not an admin, so you can't semi-protect a page (Nadarajah Raviraj by simply adding the semi-protect notice tag. An admin has to work magic and then add the tag only as a notice. Hu 20:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, how are you?

I see that you decided to make Cablevision into a disambiguation page instead of how it was currently presented as a redirection to Cablevision (US). You did that without commenting on the Talk page.

I personally believe that the U.S. Cablevision should be the article called Cablevision, not Cablevision (US). The Cablevision from Long Island is an internationally recognized, publically traded company, which owns major national cable networks. The Canadian Cablevision is a small regional cable company in Quebec.

In fact, there are more companies called Cablevision, past and present. More research should be done, and put on Cablevision (disambiguation). Any opinions on this can be placed on the talk page, or send directly to myself. Thanks. Milchama 21:59, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adam, Red and Tan Lines is still a brand name from Rockland Coaches. It has from the inception of the company to present. Yes, the DOT says Rockland coaches but in fact red and tan is on ALL of the Rockland Coach Busses. So in fact my statement was truthful on the bus or not.

Indeed, my IP address is from Chicago, but my growing up in Bergen County and having an immediate family member working for the company for 30 years tends to back up my statements. Also, you being from Queens may distort your opinion mainly because Rockland Coach does not service your City.

As well you may wish to add while you replace my Rockland coach’s statement. 85% of TOR (Tour of Rockland) is operated by Rockland Coaches Inc. (Red and Tan)

As well, Rockland Coaches is incorporated.

I would have messaged you privately but I could not figure out how to do so.

Hi. I believe Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company owns Nationwide Financial Services and several other public companies. Thus I intend on reversing your name change and redirect. 2*6 01:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, I noticed that you added some bus routes on the 1 train page. I don't think that's a good idea, since it was agreed at WT:NYCPT that the extra bus information would make the table too wordy. That said, the only bus listings that should be on the page are airport-bound buses, e.g. the M60. Reply to me so we can discuss this issue further. Thanks, --Imdanumber1 (talk · contribs) 14:28, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you proposed a new transportation stub at the Stub sorting proposals page and then quickly withdrew it. Our existing project stub template is supposed to cover the NYC metro area. So I can only assume that perhaps you want a better name for the template. Could you please comment here, where the current name of the stub template (and its category) is proposed to be changed?

I see that you in fact found a better picture of a Gillig hybrid LF to replace the Yosemite one that I had put up as an interim measure. Thanks for posting it on the Gillig page.

Hello. Please be courteous to other editors and use edit summaries when updating articles. The Mathbot tool shows your usage of edit summaries to be extremely low:

Edit summary usage for AEMoreira042281: 3% for major edits and 91% for minor edits. Based on the last 150 major and 33 minor edits in the article namespace.

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Bee Line System.jpg. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

I have noticed that you have removed all bus images for those articles. However, I personally think there should some images in those articles, but not necessarily in-article galleries. The Gillig article has images for each model as good examples. I think that each article should have at least three unique examples each. The Rapid Ride New Flyer DE60LF is a good example as it represents a New Flyer articulated bus as well as a diesel electric hybrid bus. I would also like to see an image for a bus with New Flyer's restyled front end as well as one of New Flyer's older high floor buses.

Good images for the New Flyer article:

You missed one of the three exceptions about piping on disambiguation pages: "Use piping if you are linking to an anchor point on the target page." This is confirmed in the section on URL anchor notation on the same page: you are supposed to pipe when the referenced material is contained on another page.

Why did you change the licensing on the SEPTA logo? Just because the logo is trademarked doesn't mean its copyrighted — there's a big difference between the two. Wikipedia has no policy against using trademarks, and the logo itself is in public domain because it is basically a different colored version of the original logo (Image:SEPTA logo 1970s.svg), which is in public domain as well. In addition to that, simple geometric shapes, such as that which make up the SEPTA logo, cannot be copyrighted because of their simplicity (see Commons:Template:PD-textlogo). –Dream out loud (talk) 19:58, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article George (bus service), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 11:14, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has nominated George (bus service), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George (bus service) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 23:44, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You definitely have Ellesmere and Lawrence East stations mixed up. I've been riding the Scarborough RT for over 10 years now, and I can tell you that the graffiti wall (seen in the picture) is next to Lawrence East. Blackjays1 (talk) 10:06, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Both buses run on Lawrence Avenue East, looping at the station. In fact, that route is called '54 Lawrence East'. Blackjays1 (talk) 14:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just reverted your blanking of a section on this article. I am assuming good faith that this was an accident of some kind. I could find no discussion as to why this blanking should be taking place on the Talk Page. Please be more careful in the future. LonelyBeacon (talk) 04:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah! Thanks for the explanation. Your edit summary sounded like an angry Orioles fan upset about the presence of a Cincinnati logo in the article. LonelyBeacon (talk) 04:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, in fact your original edit had no edit summary. Please accept my apology for reverting your edit which gave the appearance of vandalism. In the future, please make sure to include a brief reason, as it will warn off editors attempting to prevent vandalism. Happy editing! LonelyBeacon (talk) 04:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When you created Template:GTA Mass Transit you wondered whether Hamilton Street Railway should be included. It is hard to define the limits of the GTA and this got me thinking about what should be entered or eliminated. For an example of my thinking, Coach Canada, VIA, Amtrack, etc., are not mass transit or exclusively GTA, and at one time even the airport was entered. Components of the Toronto system are probably better accessed from Template:TTC. Inspired by your original thoughts and keeping it exclusive to transit systems, I have now created the wider ranging Template:Public Transit Systems in Ontario, which could possibly replace the GTA template. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 00:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Template:MTA (New York) bus and subway fares requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{tranclusionless}}</noinclude>).

You don't list an article at Articles for Deletion if you've placed a {{prod}} tag on. Also this is not the proper way to format an AfD discussion anyway -- don't worry, it's a common mistake to make. I have placed a {{prod2}} on the article, indicating that I agree with the prod. Should it be disputed, I will take your rationale and copy-paste it into a proper AfD discussion.

I think the list of additional boarding locations I had included should have remained. That was significant, in that Greyhound is effectively creating additional stations around the city, and you don't have to go all the way up to PABT to go to Philly or DC.

Greetings, Adam. Where did the nice photo gallery go? I don't see it in the Commons, though you indicate moving it there. Are you planning to add it to the photos already there? To me it was one of the most lively features of the article (and relevant). Is there a policy mandating that it can't remain where it was? If there is no such restriction, I would like to bring it back. Hertz1888 (talk) 20:47, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I don't understand either why you deleted the Gallery. Most of those Gallery images haven't been moved to Commons and at least some of these images should remain in the article anyway. Folks shouldn't have to migrate away from a Wikipedia article to see images of the subject, so I'm reverting to previous version. JGHowes ^talk - 21:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

JG, I agree entirely. Thanks for handling it. Hertz1888 (talk) 21:31, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent bus photography, Adam. I am not sure why you have changed the image in the infobox for Coach Canada to this one Image:Coach Canada MCI J4500 83918 in New Jersey USA.jpg that shows a paint job for Safeway Tours, a client. I thought your previous picture Image:Coach Canada 83585.jpg was an excellent representation of a typical Coach Canada bus, except that the bus floated on a sea of asphalt. You just need to trim the bottom and modify the size to 1024 x 576, which would give a contemporary 'widescreen' format of 16 x 9 and ground the bus better. Both pictures should be shown somewhere in the article because the tour business is a big part of what they do and Safeway Tours ideally represents that. Keep up the good work. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 12:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have now added the fleet number to the article, it was 27513. I have however been to the Cobham bus rally (in the snow - it nearly got cancelled!! :) ), where I got a photo of a standard Stagecoach Winchester bus. Do you think for the Stagecoach group article, a bus in the standard livery but still showing the buses used in that area would be better or worse than a special park and ride variation?? Thanks, Arriva436^talk 16:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have now done this. However I left the other picture on there (I was going to remove it) because I decided it had more value than I first thought, an image to show that not all buses are corporate branded. Arriva436^talk 17:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad to see you developing Coach USA, but I noticed there are no references in the article. The Surface Transportation Board is one good source.

Divisions[edit]

After sell offs and consolidation the remaining management companies seem to be: [1]

• Coach USA North Central (we might call it the midwest)
• Coach USA Northeast (your 'hood)
• Coach Canada (my country - but it is part of Coach USA)
• Megabus (with two operators; the original Megabus and now Megabus Northeast. NEW)

Operations[edit]

You removed the subsidiary list, which was derived from the official website, saying that it was no longer necessary because "companies still existing are in the table below". Even if that were true, the default Wikipedia search does not include templates so those items have to be mentioned somewhere in an article to make them universally available. Are you saying that Coach USA no longer runs sightseeing operations in New York, Pittsburg and Chicago? Do companies like Cape Transit, Country Road Tours, Mountaineer Coach, Park Tours, etc., not exist? The information on that list is only a starting point and far from being removed the information should be expanded with any missing articles or redirects created. I also wondered why you 'amalgamated' several units under Olympia Trails without citing any official verification.

Thank you again for your efforts. You have your own ideas about how you wish to develop these articles and I will not interfere with that. My time is limited at the moment, but I will submit any additional supporting references I discover. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 15:34, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 22:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• This picture of yours, taken on a rainy day in Hamilton, has always been one of my favourites. The atmosphere with the reflections on the wet streets and the buildings and trees framing the bus - this is just excellent. The only problem I had, as I often experience with my own attempts, is that the bus 'floated' on a sea of asphalt. I have created this version by simply cutting off that excess and grounding the bus, which now leaps out like a Ti-Cat. Please check that I got the attribution right.
• I have taken a couple of pictures of Academy Express operated coaches in downtown Toronto, but I can't seem to find any relevance in the article for this type of tour bus. They are Image:Academy_Bus_1715.JPG and Image:Academy_Bus_1717.JPG.
• p.s. I still think your Coach Canada bus picture is better than mine, but I will keep trying to get something with a nicer background than either of those. How about Niagara Falls?

Thank you. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that you removed the category for Image:Fox river grove 1995 bus accident scene.jpg. Why? That is exactly the category it belongs in. It is an image of an incident that happened in Fox River Grove, Illinois, so it belongs in Category:Images of Fox River Grove, Illinois.--Kranar drogin (talk) 10:10, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your right, and it was deleted from the Wikipedia, but with the Illinois project we categorize all our pictures along with project tags as you can see here with Category:Images of Illinois. There is no rule against doing so, and actually sections such as DYK like the fact that we tag our stuff here so they don't have to upload, lock, then delete once it has been off the front page. So, being part of the Illinois Project, we will continue to do so until it breaks a rule, which I don't foresee it doing. I can understand why you did it though.--Kranar drogin (talk) 01:57, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are the main editor for these two bus lines and I uploaded this Image:Neon and megabus pair.JPG yesterday showing them literally going head to head at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto.
