We should not be adding little articles for each of Toronto's subway stations. First of all, you could describe most of the stations in one sentence (since they are not notable, in themselves), so we'll just be creating a bunch of useless stubs. Hence, the revert. Darkcore 01:06, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I agree and have placed my comments on the parent article talk page, Talk:Toronto_Subway_and_RT. (2005-01-22, 03:50 UTC)

Hi! One query/suggestion: should the description, table, and order of stations for the Yonge-University-Spadina section proceed in that order and not the other way around (i.e., Downsview to Finch)? I merely suggest this to maintain a parallel structure with the YUS term and do not advocate any extraneous changes to content. Thoughts? Thanks! E Pluribus Anthony 08:20, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I have no preference either way; it was in that order from the beginning (first listed here: on the now-defunct List of subway and RT stations in Toronto). I don't know if the effort is exactly necessary- the name is a historical artifact of the order the line was built in - but if you're up for it, there's no objection from my corner. Radagast 17:23, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Is the date for the addition of the voice automation system correct? I was recently in Toronto before the new year (December 28, 2006) and the system was already running on more than one occasion on the Yonge-University-Spadina line. Could it be that the TTC was testing the system at the time on only select trains? (<IP_ADDRESS> 05:33, 22 April 2007 (UTC))

Map of extension
Very sloppy. By looking at it, one would think Wilson and Downsview are part of the extension. --Pwnage8 (talk) 16:31, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Added note to clarify this. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 17:14, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Yonge extension
Based on the news from Toronto council last night, it looks like a 6-station plan up to Richmond Hill is pretty solid at the moment. How do we feel about articles for these prospective stations, a la those for the Spadina extension? Any other thoughts besides? Radagast (talk) 17:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * To be honest, the articles for the non-existent Spadina line stations already seem a bit excessive to me. They all say essentially the same thing, and I suspect what information they do contain would be better conveyed for the moment by the line’s own article – they don’t have any real existence independent of the extension proposal until construction has at least started. David Arthur (talk) 17:07, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, so let's treat the Spadina extension as an anomaly and keep the Yonge extension to the section it has here (at least until shovels are in the ground). Sounds fair. Radagast (talk) 17:48, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Map of Spadina Extension
The current map of the Spadina Extension does not put the line into context i found a second map that may be better suited... comments? eja2k 19:23, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

The alternate map is much more informative than the current map, as the alternate map shows the relationship between the station location and the nearby streets. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 21:36, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

 * I've made the switch - while it still lists the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre station as the Vaughan Corporate Centre (Vaughan is also misspelled on this map :-S), I think it will do for now, either that or we can ask the map's creator to update it with the new name(s) (once the Downsview/Sheppard West situation is resolved) eja2k 06:22, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I would be glad if you reverted the map back to my version. You couldn't possibly find a more ugly map than this one? What should I change in My map to make it "legit" in your eyes? --Shandristhe azylean 13:54, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * As the extension has not been built yet, it's good to have a map that shows the actual planned routing of the line so as to inform those who may not know what the plan is. Once the extension is complete, a traditional (non-geographic) rendering would do nicely. Its the added context this map gives over the other that provides more depth to the article (Just one man's opinion) eja2k 05:26, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with Eja2k, since proposed routes should have clear geographic references. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 16:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Requested move (March 2014)

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved, and WP:MINNOW the nominator for making a straw man nomination. If you disapprove of other changes, use some sort of consensus-building process (such as WP:RFC) to adddress that question, rather than abusing the requested moves process. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:01, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

– The Toronto Transit Commission is rolling out signage using the numbers which were previously only used internally. The Official TTC Subway/RT page calls the lines 1 Yonge-University-Spadina Subway, 2 Bloor-Danforth Subway, 3 Scarborough RT and 4 Sheppard Subway. Secondarywaltz (talk) 20:00, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yonge–University–Spadina line → 1 Yonge–University–Spadina Subway
 * Bloor–Danforth line → 2 Bloor–Danforth Subway
 * Scarborough RT → 3 Scarborough RT
 * Sheppard line → 4 Sheppard Subway

 * Oppose. This is unnecessary. According to the TTC, "Subway lines are not being renamed". The Toronto Star clarifies: "The lines aren’t being renamed officially, just given a standard number to clear up the confusion that occurs with routes typically referred to in several ways — for example Yonge, YUS and Spadina." it is very unlikely non-TTC personnel will ever use the numbers and the names together. Can you imagine an ordinary person saying "I take the 1 Yonge-University-Spadina subway to work"? Or, "I live close to the 4 Sheppard Subway". People will use the name, or they will use the number, not both. I think the WP:NAME principle we should follow here is "Naturalness – The title is one that readers are likely to look or search for and that editors would naturally use to link to the article from other articles. Such titles usually convey what the subject is actually called in English." Ground Zero | t 20:43, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * This started when User:Flynn58 began changing names to only numbers and a discussion started at Template talk:Toronto Transit Commission stations. That is the reason I am formally bringing up the subject for discussion. Do TTC lines have names or numbers or both or what? Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:03, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Evidently, TTC lines have names, numbers and colours, and this should be addressed in the lead paragraph. The question we should be asking is what the encyclopedia article should be called? Ground Zero | t 22:21, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Oppose. The names of the lines will remain even once the wayfinding changes reach the entire system; It's easy to clearly note, create redirects, and otherwise illustrate the colour/number system here in Wikipedia without having it in the article titles. Radagast (talk) 02:25, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Oppose. I agree with Ground Zero. It is unnecessary. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 02:52, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Changed to Support. I have changed my decision, realizing that the numbers are part of their official names, though it should be 1 Yonge–University–Spadina etc. instead. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 02:10, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I think you mean that the numbers are what the TTC is using, not "official". The TTC says that the lines' names have not been changed. Ground Zero | t 10:51, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh. Even then, the numbers are important. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 14:31, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh no. The numbers have been part of the names for a long time, as shown on the Official TTC Subway/RT page. They were only used internally before this. Secondarywaltz (talk) 15:35, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I get it now. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 02:03, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Oppose – The current names are fine. Adding numbers into the mix will just lead to more confusion. Epicgenius (talk) 03:38, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Numbers are not needed in the article names at this time. Sw2nd (talk) 04:01, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Oppose. The lines have been referred to by name for over half a century; it will likely take at least a generation (if ever) before common usage is limited to their numbers. Useddenim (talk) 04:14, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment - Thank you for the opposition. I have been playing devil's advocate here. An editor began changing Template:Toronto Transit Commission stations to show only numbers for lines and removing names. The lack of response could have been interpreted as implicit support for that. People who are interested in a subject might not have every related template on their watch list, and so I brought the discussion here. Lines have always had the number in the official name and I don't see any overwhelming reason to move the articles now. Secondarywaltz (talk) 05:10, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Wait, you're the one that requested the moves. Why are you thanking the opposers of the moves? Epicgenius (talk) 16:18, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned above, I brought this out for an open discussion, because of edits as discussed in Template talk:Toronto Transit Commission stations. Thank you for participating. I appreciate everyone's comments, and before this they had all been in opposition. Any others edits are login mistakes. Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:51, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Support. The lines are currently being referred to by numbers across the system during live PA announcements regarding service. At the very least, the article should be called "Line 1 - Yonge-University-Spadina line" Flynn58

 * Support as per Flynn58's point, and that a) the TTC has technically had these numbers applied to the rapid transit lines since 2001, and b) see the official site, this is how they are referring to it now. I would see opposition on the basis that it is 'unnecessary' as invalid and ignorant of these facts. -- Natural  R X 23:14, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Support - TTC use all same route system with both number and name. Like 31 Greenwood bus, 501 Queen streetcar and is 2 Bloor-Danforth subway. Wrong for number and not name like Flynn58 do at template. Martin Morin (talk) 01:33, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Still Oppose. Toronto already has what are probably the longest (multi-syllabic) line names. there’s no need to add the numbers as well (or does the proposer want to add the colours, too?). Useddenim (talk) 17:55, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * That's a very good point. The TTC is introducing the use of numbers because of those names. Riders are already aware of existing colour coding even though the lines are not actually named by colour. Using a colour reference alone would cause problems for visually impaired people as compared to using numbers with an additional colour key. See my comments above about why I instigated this discussion. Secondarywaltz (talk) 20:54, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Uploaded TTC line one.png TTC line two.png TTC line three.png TTC line four.png because Useddenim knows how to use logo icons better than anybody else. I copied these from the TTC. Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:29, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The logos need to be vectorized for them to be useful. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 02:07, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * These logos can be used in templates and shown with links to their respective TTC lines. Epicgenius (talk) 02:20, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you don't know that Useddenim is a specialist at this kind of thing. I was teasing. Secondarywaltz (talk) 19:08, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I did know you were just kidding, as evidenced by the obvious statement above. Epicgenius (talk) 01:56, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Very much support the use of these icons, as it's precisely what the TTC is doing: keeping the line names, but also creating simple visual shorthand for navigating. Radagast (talk) 05:27, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Icons now easily usable: Useddenim (talk) 10:58, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Have subbed these in on Template:Toronto Transit Commission. Any other spots they would be helpful? Radagast (talk) 16:28, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe they would find use in the headings of the station infoboxes (like the New York City Subway services shown in Infobox NYCS). Epicgenius (talk) 01:59, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Good idea! Style templates are used to reflect the current entrance signage which denotes the lines with coloured stripes. I will modify that for Bloor-Yonge to start with, since it is the only one that has currently changed, and see how that looks. I have to tweak a few things to unify existing styles without disrupting too many things and then replicate the new look. Secondarywaltz (talk) 03:16, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Have a look at Bloor–Yonge and St. George for NEW signage style. Secondarywaltz (talk) 14:49, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The line icons can be converted to SVG, as many similar icons have been converted to SVG. One advantage of SVG over PNG is that SVG is vector-based and therefore lossless when expanded.  Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 13:35, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * That has already been done. SVG icons have been made for lines 1 to 7. See my talk page. Secondarywaltz (talk) 14:22, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Requested Move (May 2014)

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. EdJohnston (talk) 04:59, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

– This motion was previously brought up in March, and not voted upon as the trial phase the TTC was in had the new numbers and signage only utilized at Bloor-Yonge Station. However, since then, the signage has been rolled out to all the stations on Line 1. I believe that due to this wide roll-out of the new way-finding system, it is now appropriate to change the names of these articles. They are already widely referred to by their numbers on Wikipedia itself, as evidenced by the opening paragraph of the Bloor-Yonge article I just linked. Here is the article from the TTC in which they themselves announced the roll-out, and I would like to point out it is stated the numbers will be rolled out by 2015. While it does state that the names will still be maintained, there is precedence for using numbers only for the page name. The New York City Subway lines services all have their number as the page name, yet include the full name in their opening sentence, as evidenced by Line 1 here. Flynn58 (talk) 21:11, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yonge–University–Spadina line → Line 1 (Toronto)
 * Bloor-Danforth line → Line 2 (Toronto)
 * Scarborough RT → Line 3 (Toronto)
 * Sheppard line → Line 4 (Toronto)
 * Eglinton Crosstown line → Line 5 (Toronto)

 * Oppose. Per WP:COMMONNAME, we use the name which English speakers are most likely to recognize even if it is not the official name, and for Toronto's subways that is by far the descriptive name that has been in use for half a century. The TTC's internal usage is irrelevant. The TTC's plan to add the line numbers (not replace the names with numbers) suggests that the common name remains the current descriptive name (Yonge-University-Spadina, Bloor-Danforth, etc.) and the articles should reflect this. In addition, WP:NCDAB and WP:NATURAL direct that we should use a common name that doesn't require disambiguation if we can. "Line 1" is ambiguous to the New York subway and probably others while "Yonge-University-Spadina line" or even "1 Yonge-University-Spadina" require no disambiguation. Ivanvector (talk) 21:37, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment then according to WP:NCDAB, we should change the name of the NYC Subway Line articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flynn58 (talk • contribs) 02:08, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose This not used by people who ride TTC. Other name with add of number better. Speedy close this not make sense. Martin Morin (talk) 22:48, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Toronto resident and subway commuter here. I have started using this phrasing, and it is regularly used in station announcements and delay notifications. But to the point regarding WP:COMMONNAME, it wouldn't be accurate to say that it is becoming widely used by others though. -- Natural  R X 01:22, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Per WP:COMMONNAME. As Flynn58 notes "the names will still be maintained". The only argument seems to be that this is how it is done in New York. A pretty weak argument to me. Ground Zero | t 01:43, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually, the New York argument is the strongest one, aside from the numbers now being ubiquitous in usage on signage. It shows precedence for this sort of issue. In fact, when you go to the Line 1 disambiguation page, you will find many, many articles which have the same conditions as 1_(New_York_City_Subway_service) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flynn58 (talk • contribs) 02:31, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Support per last time, as well as per New York City's usage. The TTC plans to phase out the line names. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 02:22, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment This is not what you supported the "last time". Secondarywaltz (talk) 04:01, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Johnny: I think you're mistaken. The TTC information makes it clear that they are adding numbers to the names, not phasing out the names. At the end of this video, Chris Uphold of the TTC says this unambiguously. And this news release says: "Subway lines are not being renamed; rather, applying line numbers and colours already in use to existing line names...." Ground Zero | t 22:28, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Support as I did last time. Reasons stated above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flynn58 (talk • contribs) 02:31, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment This is not what you supported the "last time". Secondarywaltz (talk) 04:01, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Oppose - The TTC still refers to the lines with number and name on their Subway/RT page, as I ponted out before. None of you has shown that using numbers only has been introduced system wide - because it has not. The names I introduced aboved provide natural disambiguation, but at that time very little had been done to change the wayfaring signage. It is premature to change these Wikipedia article names before either the TTC or common usage has done that. Secondarywaltz (talk) 03:57, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Additional Comment - What they do in New York, Tokyo, London, Paris or Montreal has no relevance the actual name of anything elsewhere in the world. Secondarywaltz (talk) 04:00, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment it isn't that they have numbers in those cities. It's that for the wikipedia articles for those services, there is a precedence for naming the article for the number even if it also has a name juxtaposed to the number. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flynn58 (talk • contribs) 04:50, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - It is incorrect to say that New York Subway line articles use numbers -- see List_of_New_York_City_Subway_lines. In fact the subway line articles use names. It is the subway service articles that use numbers -- see List_of_New_York_City_Subway_services. As for precedence in North America, most Wikipedia articles about cities with more than one line use colours, not numbers, including Montreal, Chicago, Washington, Atlanta, Boston and Los Angeles. Vancouver and San Francisco use names. New York uses names for lines and numbers for services. Going internationally, we'll find a mix:
 * Names: London, Tokyo, Hong Kong
 * Numbers: Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Istanbul
 * Letters: Rome

So it seems that the articles for each city line up with the usage in that city -- there is no Wikipedia standard. As names are still the common use for Torontonians, and as the TTC itself uses both names and numbers, there is no justification for dropping the names. Ground Zero | t 12:34, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment in this instance, lines on the TTC are equivalent to services. As well, cities with lines that solely have names or letters are not related to this issue. The NYC services hold precedence as their services have both a name and a number.Flynn58 (talk) 20:44, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * And the NYC articles use the name (for lines) and the number (for services), so there is no precedent for Toronto where line and service are the same thing. (You started this discussion by citing NYC lines as the precedent. Now it seems you have decided to switch to NYC services as the precedent.) Ground Zero | t 01:08, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I was unaware of the difference between services and lines when I stated the above example, and the example I used was a service, same as Lines 1 through 5 are in Toronto. Flynn58 (talk) 10:39, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
 * And they are also lines. That is why they are called "Yonge–University–Spadina line" or alternatively "Line 1". THe article begins: "The Yonge–University–Spadina Line (Y–U–S) (officially route 1 Yonge–University–Spadina Subway, formerly route 602)[4][5] is the oldest and busiest subway line in Toronto...." I hope you are not going to argue that they are not lines like the name lines in NYC. Ground Zero | t 01:57, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Tokyo uses numbers too. Ginza Line is also named Line 3, but the article is not named "Line 3 Ginza Line". Toronto shouldn't be different; "Yonge–University–Spadina line" shouldn't be named "Line 1 Yonge–University–Spadina line" or whatever. Epicgenius (talk) 19:54, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I have a sign! 2 Bloor-Danforth Line 2014 May-June closure sign.JPG Bloor-Danforth Line "]] - For most of this discussion we have only had the nominator's assertion that all the signage has been changed to remove any mention of line names. Here is a current sign on the Bloor platform of the YUS line showing that the TTC still refers to lines by both number and name. The use of a logo, symbol or icon does not change the name of what they refer to and they are commonly used in wayfaring signage, to stand out at a distance, where text would not be legible. The long names of TTC subway lines is an example of where an icon can fulfill this purpose. Secondarywaltz (talk) 19:37, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this Secondarywaltz! But to be fair to the nominator, s/he did not claim that the signage removed mention of the line names. The nomination said: "While it does state that the names will still be maintained, there is precedence for using numbers only for the page name. The New York City Subway lines all have their number as the page name...." We now see that the claim of precedent was incorrect, so I'm not sure what the basis of the nomination is now. It seems to be solely some editors' preference for numbers over names. Ground Zero | t 20:11, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Please, keep misquoting me! I claimed that the NYC Subway SERVICES had numbers for their page name, which was correct. Flynn58 (talk) 13:06, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
 * In the original nomination (above), you wrote "The New York City Subway lines all have their number as the page name". I don't see how I am misquoting you. That is exactly what you wrote above. Ground Zero | t 13:28, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I linked to a service as an example. NYC uses services and lines differently than the rest of the world, and the TTC uses the word line to refer to both. I already corrected the error above previously, but an anonymous user undid my edit and the reply I gave to you yesterday. Flynn58 (talk) 21:08, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I have seen that sign earlier. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 15:52, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Can we close this now? Martin Morin (talk) 20:48, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * No, the vote will be open until 21:11 20 May 2014 (UTC). Flynn58 (talk) 13:06, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose - the numbers (and colours!) are merely shorthand identification for lines still officially designated by verbal names. We've seen great success in using their iconography already around Wikipedia, but they still all refer back to the lines by their names - the same way the TTC does it, in fact. Radagast (talk) 04:09, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - The current vote is 5-2 in favor of opposing the name change. While the conclusion of seven people may not qualify as consensus as detailed by Wikipedia standards and practices, I suggest we table this discussion until the trial period is officially declared over and the numbers are officially adopted outside of trial evaluation. Flynn58 (talk) 06:26, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Ground Zero | t 09:38, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I think the discussion has demonstrated there is no consensus. -- Natural  R X 19:26, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Which is why the discussion will be tabled until the trial period for line numbering is over. While numbers are now used on signage and announcements across the system, they have not been officially adopted outside of the trial. Now, my personal opinion is that the trial will be a success and the numbers permanently adopted, but my personal opinion doesn't really matter in this case. Flynn58 (talk) 01:58, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose (see my comment in the March 2014 RM for why). Epicgenius (talk) 16:24, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Fixing Map Template
Yonge-University-Spadina Line Map seems to be messed up; it's inline to the left and breaking the text. Can someone adjust it so that it can display in this article to the right, with the appropriate header etc.? -- Natural  R X 21:49, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It had been fixed with a move without the Spadina name. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 03:18, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Keeping the lead clean
I have exported some details out of the lead and placed them in the body. WP:LEAD states "The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important aspects. The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview." Having all this stuff about TRs mostly running the line, but sometimes T1 do it, and where they were shifted, did not serve this purpose. The lead could maybe use some work to give a better overall summary, so give a crack at it if you want. -- Natural  R X 18:15, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I must agree. There is a reason why Toronto Rocket has its own article. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 03:30, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Requested move 12 March 2015

The result of the move request was: Moved. — Amakuru (talk) 23:19, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

– One year ago, a move was requested for this purpose and denied on the basis of the numbers being in a trial period rather than being permanently adopted, and on the basis of the common name. As these numbers have been in usage for over a year, are still in use in the system as evidenced by the picture of these posters taken at York Mills Station today, as can be seen to the right. On the topic of WP:COMMONNAME, as shown by this recent news report from CP24, the numbers are now the common name in usage by Torontonians, and as these proposed names are already those which are being used in the WP:LEAD for each article at the very beginning, they are also the common name here as well. Since the official full name is still the number plus the street, and since according to WP:NCDAB and WP:NATURAL we should use a name which requires little disambiguation necessary, these proposed names are ubiquitous, official and easy to understand. Thus, I proposed the adoption of these new names for each of the four lines. Flynn58 (talk) 03:11, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yonge–University line → Line 1 Yonge–University
 * Bloor-Danforth line → Line 2 Bloor–Danforth
 * Scarborough RT → Line 3 Scarborough
 * Sheppard line → Line 4 Sheppard
 * Support - I thought the previous request was premature, but everyone who uses the system now knows that this is how the TTC and the media now refers to the lines.

Anthony Bitetto

Anthony Bitetto (born July 15, 1990) is an American former professional ice hockey defenseman. He most notably played in the National Hockey League (NHL).

Early life
Bitetto grew up on Long Island, New York and was a New York Rangers fan throughout childhood.

Playing career
He was selected 168th overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft by the Predators before committing to a collegiate career with Northeastern University in the Hockey East conference.

On March 29, 2012, Bitetto was signed to a two-year entry-level contract with the Nashville Predators. He then began his professional career in the 2012 playoffs with the Predators American Hockey League affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals.

In the 2014–15 season, his third full professional season and leading the Admirals in scoring by a defenseman, Bitetto was recalled by the Predators and made his NHL debut against the Detroit Red Wings in a 5–2 defeat on January 17, 2015. Bitetto signed a two-year contract to stay with the Predators on February 26, 2016, and he scored his first career NHL goal on March 9, 2016, in a game against the Calgary Flames.

On January 9, 2018, Bitetto re-signed with the Predators.

During the 2018–19 season, Bitetto appeared in 18 games before he was placed on waivers by the Predators and claimed by division rival Minnesota Wild the following day, on January 25, 2019.

As a free agent from the Wild, Bitetto agreed to a one-year, two-way contract in joining his third central division club, the Winnipeg Jets, on July 2, 2019. Through 51 games with the Jets in the 2019–20 season, Bitetto registered career highs with 8 assists for 8 points, plus/minus rating, and average ice time (15:10). Bitetto led the Jets in hits per game (2.84) and ranked 23rd in the NHL, as well as fifth among NHL defensemen.

On October 9, 2020, Bitetto left the Jets as a free agent, and signed to a two-year, two-way contract with the New York Rangers. Growing up a Rangers fan, he said he was "speechless" playing in his first game as a Ranger at Madison Square Garden. During a game against the Washington Capitals on February 4, 2021, Bitetto scored his first goal as a Ranger in a 4–2 win. He had gone 112 games without a goal; his last goal was on November 18, 2017.

During the 2021–22 season, the Rangers traded Bitetto to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Nick Merkley at the NHL trade deadline on March 21, 2022.

As a free agent in the off-season, Bitetto was signed to a one-year, two-way contract, with the Florida Panthers on July 13, 2022. His signing marked a reunion with former coach Paul Maurice during his tenure with the Winnipeg Jets.

After going unsigned throughout free agency, Bitetto announced his retirement on October 4, 2023.

Talk:Powers of Darkness (Iceland)

The "Articles and books" section
Is thie a list of sources used in the article or a recomendation list? Because if it's a group of source it would do well to be includede under the "References" header so it's more clear to the readers.★Trekker (talk) 12:07, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I'll take care of that. Thank you ★Trekker--A.S. Brown (talk) 07:19, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

"Vandalism"
I'm sorry for the slightly aggravated tone, but last year another editor Tintin888 had engaged in pointless duplication, for which I was unjustly blamed for. Recently another editor ImaginesTigers nominated this article for deletion as can be seen here: Articles for deletion/Powers of Darkness (Iceland). The result was to keep this article and remove the pointless duplication, which was the work of Tintin888. I was trying make a start at this, but another editor is accusing me of 'vandalism' for merely trying to undo the mess that Tintin888 created. I'm not 'vandalising' this article-just merely to get rid of the duplication.--A.S. Brown (talk) 07:19, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I was wondering if you care to comment about this. --A.S. Brown (talk) 07:23, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * My guess here is that Dl2000 was patrolling for vandalism and didn't realise these edits were the agreed outcome of an AfD. If not, please don't undo A.S. Brown's work without talking here; it is meaningfully improving the page by separating it from Powers of Darkness (Sweden). I think Dl2000's reversion was probably in good faith. — ImaginesTigers (talk) 10:10, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * As a side-note, I just tried to clean up the section headings... and it’s not easy. The article is so scattered. After you're done removing the duplicate content, take a look at the Manual of Style on Novels for ways to better structure the article. I'm still not convinced that the two shouldn't be merged, but we'll see what the shape of it looks like after. Right now the headings are very scattered; the entire article is confused. (Just call the book Powers of Darkness as the title—it’s the name in English, and the name of the article.) — ImaginesTigers (talk) 10:15, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The guess is correct, it was patrolling. Regrets to for the vandalism call, but a major reduction and removal of 54 citations requires a clearer edit summary justification than "Start working on differing this article". Referencing the AfD concerns, and perhaps adding rationale on this talk page, could have avoided the misunderstanding. Dl2000 (talk) 21:35, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

 * I have fixed the Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors created by the above edits. When you use you have to define the reference using one of the  templates. You can see the changes I made here DuncanHill (talk) 12:25, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

User:Gkhan/Closest pair of points

Let's say that we have a number of points in a 2-dimensional plane with x-coordinates stored in array x and y-coordinates in the array y. How would one go about solving this problem? The obvious way is to compare all the points to all of the others. How would such an algorithm look? Something like this (it returns a 3-tuple with the two points and the distance between them):

function ClosestPair(x[], y[], numPoints) min := $$\infty$$ point1 := 0 point2 := 0 for i := 1 to numPoints-1 for j := i + 1 to numPoints if sqrt((x[i] - x[j])^2 + (y[i] - y[j])^2) < min: min := sqrt((x[i] - x[j])^2 + (y[i] - y[j])^2) point1 := i point2 := j fi repeat repeat return {p1, p2, min} end function

What is the running time of this algorithm. Since the number of iterations in the inner loop starts with p-1 and decresases by one each time until it reaches 1, in which case the main loop finishes. It is thus an arithmetic progression from one to p-1:
 * $$1+2+3+4+\ldots+(p-2)+(p-1) = {p(p-1) \over 2}$$

It is therfore an $$O(n^2)$$ algorithm were n is the number of points.

Can we do better? Yes we can! First what we do is divide the group of points into two groups of size $$\mathcal{b}{n / 2}\mathcal{c}$$ and $$\mathcal{d}{n / 2}\mathcal{e}$$ by drawing a line through the point number $$\mathcal{b}{n / 2}\mathcal{c}$$ counted from the left. ($$\mathcal{b}x\mathcal{c}$$ here represents the floor function and $$\mathcal{d}x\mathcal{e}$$ is the ceiling function). We then perform the perform the algorithm recursivly for the two groups. If the group size is 1 we return $$\infty$$ or if the size is 2 we return the distance between the two points.

We can now start making creating some code. Note that the points in x[] and y[] are sorted after their x-coordinate primarily and y-coordinate secondarily (i.e if their x-coordinate is the same).

function ClosestPair(x[], y[], startIndex, finishIndex) numPoints := finishIndex - startIndex + 1 min = $$\infty$$ if numPoints == 1 return $$\infty$$ else if numPoints == 2 return sqrt((x[startIndex] - x[finishIndex])^2 + (y[startIndex] - y[finishIndex])^2) else min = Min(ClosestPair(x[], y[], startIndex, startIndex + Floor(numPoints/2)),               ClosestPair(x[], y[], startIndex + Ceiling(numPoints/2)), finishIndex))   fi   ......... end function

This function obviously doesn't give the right results since none of the points in group 1 is compared to the points in group 2. What if the two closest points lie just left and right of the dividing line? We obviosly have to compare the groups with eachother.

Let's say that the distance between the closest pair of points in the groups is k (the variable min in the code) then if there exists a closer pair in different groups they must lie in a 2k wide strip over the dividing line.

Yusuf Ma Dexin

Yusuf Ma Dexin (also Ma Tesing; 1794–1874) was a Hui Chinese Hanafi-Maturidi scholar from Yunnan, known for his fluency and proficiency in both Arabic and Persian, and for his knowledge of Islam. He also went by the Chinese name Ma Fuchu. He used the Arabic name Abd al-Qayyum Ruh al-Din Yusuf (عبد القيوم روح الدين يوسف). He was also styled as "Mawlana al-Hajj Yusuf Ruh al-Din Ma Fujuh" (مولانا الحاج يوسف روح الدين  ما  فو جوه).

Biography
Ajall Shams al-Din Omar was an ancestor in the 25th generation of Ma Dexin.

Hajj
Ma performed the Hajj in 1841, leaving China by a circuitous route; as ocean travel out of China had been disrupted by the First Opium War, he chose instead to leave with a group of Muslim merchants travelling overland. After passing through the Sipsong Panna, they went south to Konbaung Burma, then took a riverboat along the Irrawaddy River from Mandalay to Yangon. From Yangon, they were able to board a steamship, which took them to the Arabian Peninsula.

After Mecca, Ma stayed in the Middle East for another eight years; he first went to Cairo, where he studied at al-Azhar University, then travelled throughout the Ottoman Empire, going to Suez, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Istanbul, Cyprus, and Rhodes.

Return to China
As a prominent Muslim in Yunnan, Ma became involved in the Panthay Rebellion in Yunnan shortly after he returned from the Hajj. The Panthay Rebellion, which flared up in 1856 as part of a wider series of uprisings by the Hui (Muslim Han Chinese) and other minorities, was led mainly by Du Wenxiu; though Ma disagreed with Du's revolutionary methods, he also encouraged his followers to aid in the uprising; later, he would try to act as a peacemaker between the central government forces and the rebels. Ma Dexin said that Neo-Confucianism was reconcilable with Islam. He approved of General Ma Rulong defecting to the Qing and he also assisted other Muslims in defecting. However, despite his efforts to bring about peace, the Qing government still regarded him as a rebel and a traitor; he was executed two years after the suppression of the rebellion. Europeans reported that he was either poisoned or executed.

After his return from travels throughout the Ottoman Empire, Ma Dexin staunchly opposed Shiism and Sufism. This view emerged partly due to the growing marginalization of the Hui within China and calls for unity among themselves against the tide of the dominant Han-led society.

Role in the Panthay Rebellion
Ma Dexin was the most prominent Hui scholar in Yunnan. He used his prestige to act as a mediator between the different Hui factions & "helped orient and validate" the rebellion throughout the province. He was respected by both Du Wenxiu & Ma Rulong as a spiritual leader. In 1860; Ma Dexin sent forces to help Du Wenxiu fight the Qing; assuring him that:"'I have already secretly ordered my disciples [mensheng] Ma [Rulong] as the Grand Commander of Three Directions, with Ma Rong as second in command . . . to launch a rearguard attack from their base in Yimen.'"Ma Dexin possessed a telescope that he had purchased while in Singapore, yet was unable to use it. In late 1867, M. Garnier a member of a French expedition met Ma in Kunming and adjusted the lenses for him. A grateful Ma then agreed to write for them a letter of recommendation to Du Wenxiu. Ma also asked officials along the route to Dali to provide the best service to the French Explorers. Muslim soldiers let the explorers pass due to Ma's letter.

Surrender to the Qing
There is evidence that Ma Dexin, Ma Rulong & the Hui forces with them only pretended to surrender (in 1862) in order to gain access to the city of Kunming. Even after their supposed capitulation to the Qing; Ma Rulong continued to issue proclamations using his seal "Generalissimo of the Three Directions" while Ma Dexin refused to accept the Civil title granted to him; not wanting to be associated with the Qing regime. The Hui rebels taunted the Hui who hadn't joined the rebellion as being fake Hui (jia Huizi). Taiwanese researcher Li Shoukong asserts that many Hui rebels had employed a similar tactic of pretending to surrender in the early years of the rebellion.

To test his loyalty Ma Rulong was sent to pacify the disgruntled magistrate of Lin'an (in Southern Yunnan). A few weeks after Ma Rulong left the city; rebel forces led by Ma Rong and Ma Liansheng stormed Kunming & captured it. Ma Rulong's forces had come to believe that he could no longer be trusted to achieve their goal of uniting under a single rebel government. In 1863 Ma Dexin declared himself "King-Who-Pacifies-the-South (Pingnan Wang)", seized the official seals & stopped using the Qing reign year when dating documents. Ma Dexin hoped to keep the rebel forces united under him until he could hand over control to Du Wenxiu.

Ma Rulong immediately rushed back to Kunming, and attacked the city along with Qing forces;. He ordered Ma Dexin to give up his seals of office & placed him under house arrest. According to a French missionary, Ma Rulong "arrested Lao Baba [Ma Dexin] whose conduct, as you know, has always been very ambiguous, but not any more. This old fox was consigned to the palace in which Ma [Rulong's] family lives."

Ma Dexin opposed Ma Rulong's acceptance of the Qing policy of "using Hui to fight other Hui". When he travelled to Dali to meet Du Wenxiu for their only and final meeting, he told him that: "'The provincial government has given Eastern Hui leaders' official positions so that the Hui will fight each other. This is the cruelest of [the Qing's] furtive plots. So we must turn it around [and use it] against them . . . why should we fall into their trap?'"He also warned Du that: "'We should, have the [Qing] government fall into a Hui plan, not let the Hui fall into the government's [plan].'"

Execution
The Qing official Cen Yuying disliked Ma Dexin and the Hui. In April 1874 he ordered an investigation into Ma Dexin's activities and charged him along with three others of formenting unrest. Cen claimed that when Ma Dexin was found he was on a hunger strike & on the brink of death, hence he ordered that Ma be "summarily executed". Though few Hui were convinced by Cen's words and knew that Ma had been assassinated.

Works
Sources say that Ma produced the first Chinese translation of the Qur'an, as well as writing numerous books in Arabic and Persian about Islam. His most famous writings compared Islamic culture and the Confucian philosophy to find a theoretical and theological basis for their coexistence. At the same time, he harshly criticised the absorption of Buddhist and Taoist elements into the practise of Islam in China. As he is generally regarded as an orthodox Islamic thinker, his writings also demonstrated a positive attitude towards Sufism. In total, he published over 30 books, most of which fall into five categories.
 * Islamic jurisprudence and philosophy: 四典要会, 大化总归, 道行究竟, 理学折衷, 性命宗旨, 礼法启爱 据理质证,
 * Islamic calendar and history: 寰宇述要 (Description of the World), 天方历源 (History of Arabia)
 * Introduction and analysis of works of other Muslim authors in China, such as Ma Zhu and Liu Zhu: 真诠要录, 指南要言, 天方性理注释
 * Qur'an: the first five volumes of 宝命真经直解 (True Revealed Scripture), the earliest translation of the meanings of the Qur'an into Chinese
 * Arabic grammar: 纳哈五 (Nahawu), 赛尔夫 (Saierfu), 阿瓦米勒 (Awamile)
 * Other: 朝觐途记 (Diary of a pilgrimage), a description of his time in Mecca; originally in Arabic, translated to Chinese by Ma's disciple Ma Anli

Ma Dexin appears to have picked up anti-Shia views from his time in the Ottoman lands and referred to them by the derogatory name Rafida (若废子) in his works, which attacked and criticized Shias and some Sufis. Ma, like other most other Hui in China, belonged to the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam.

The Chinese Muslim Arabic writing scholars Ma Lianyuan 馬聯元 1841-1903 was trained by Ma Fuchu 馬复初 1794-1874 in Yunnan with Ma Lianyuan writing books on law 'Umdat al-'Islām (عمدة الإسلام), a grammar book on ṣarf (صرف) called Hawā, and Ma Fuchu writing a grammar book on naḥw (نحو) called Muttasiq (متسق) and Kāfiya (كافية). Šarḥ al-laṭā'if (شرح اللطائف) Liu Zhi's The Philosophy of Arabia 天方性理 (Tianfang Xingli) Arabic translation by (Muḥammad Nūr al-Ḥaqq ibn Luqmān as-Ṣīnī) (محمد نور الحق ابن لقمان الصيني), the Arabic name of Ma Lianyuan. Du'a, ghusl, salah, and other ceremonies were taught in the Miscellaneous studies (Zaxue) 雜學 while ayat from the Qur'an were taught in the Khatm al-Qur'an (ختم القرآن) (Haiting). Ma Fuchu brought al-Būṣīrī's Qaṣīdat al-Burda (格随德集注) to China.

Quitaúna (CPTM)

Quitaúna is a train station, belonging to ViaMobilidade Line 8-Diamond, located in the municipality of Osasco.

History
Built by Estrada de Ferro Sorocabana (EFS) on 29 May 1929, in the district of Quitaúna. In 1934, the main building was renovated, due to the increase of commuter demand. With the installation of Brazilian Army Headquarters in the end of the 1930s and beginning of the 1940s, the station was renamed to Duque de Caxias, name used between 1939 and 1948. On 8 April 1953, the station receives a new building. In 1971, FEPASA absorbs EFS and rebuilts the station, reopened on 25 January 1979. In 1996, CPTM absorbs the old FEPASA West Line, renaming it to Line B-Grey. In March 2008, the line was renamed again to Line 8-Diamond.

With a Little Love

"With a Little Love" is a song by English singer-songwriter Sam Brown, which was released in 1990 as the lead single from her second studio album April Moon. It was written by Margo Buchanan and Sam Brown, and produced by Pete Brown and Sam Brown. "With a Little Love" reached No. 44 on the UK Singles Chart and remained in the Top 100 for four weeks.

Critical reception
Upon its release, Music & Media picked "With a Little Love" as their "Single of the Week". They described the song as "easy-going and full of melodic charm", and added, "Although it breaks no new ground stylistically, the song is extremely seductive." Stephen Lamacq of New Musical Express praised the song as " a stout, likeable number with an ear-bending hook and a background hint of Cyndi Lauper". David Giles of Music Week considered it to be "uptempo mid-Atlantic pop with enough guitar to suggest serious intent". He noted Brown sounds "more distinctive" and her "huskiness more pronounced", drawing comparisons between her and Bonnie Tyler, but felt the music is "fast heading into Belinda Carlisle territory". He concluded that "another 'Stop!' is needed to get her back on the hit trail".

Tim Jeffery of Record Mirror considered the song to be a "real disappointment". He commented, "Sam's rich and exquisitely sexy voice is wasted on this rather drippy, mid-tempo song that borders on MOR country." Jeffery believed the "very safe and radio-friendly" song would do well commercially, but added "it would be nice to see Sam stretching herself on something a little more gutsy". Brett Thomas of The Sydney Morning Herald felt that despite the "overwhelming indifference" to the song's release as a single, it "shouts 'hit record'".
