Northeast 85th Street station images

Hi, noticed you are involved at Northeast 85th Street station which of course is a Good Thing. If you see any images on Commons for a better infobox presentation, I've contributed some recently. I'm not sure which one to pick, if any -- it's all kind of a jumble of equipment and dirt at the moment. ☆ Bri (talk) 20:35, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

I'll take a look later and might try to upload some of my own soon. The site is a bit of a pain to photograph without a drone! SounderBruce 01:29, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Was thinking the same thing. Sadly, I'm Earth-bound. BTW if you didn't know, an aerial shot of that area is the illustration of the definitive cloverleaf on p. 339 of Infrastructure: A Field Guide to the Industrial Landscape (Norton, 2005, OCLC 58043328). The caption doesn't say Kirkland but it definitely is, Costco and all. ☆ Bri (talk) 04:20, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Talk:2008 North American SuperLiga final/GA1

SounderBruce, a quick reminder that this review has been awaiting action by you for months now; you originally opened in back in mid-January, and the nomination is awaiting your return. If you don't think this you can give it time within the next seven days or so—you seem to be actively editing at the moment—perhaps you should offer to give responsibility to another reviewer, assuming one can be found. Thank you very much for your consideration. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:49, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations, SounderBruce! The article you nominated, MLS Cup 2022, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, David Fuchs (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:05, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

DYK for 2024 MLS All-Star Game

On 26 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2024 MLS All-Star Game, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez were picked for the 2024 MLS All-Star Game but unable to play? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2024 MLS All-Star Game. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 2024 MLS All-Star Game), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Walking distance source

Hi, I saw that this sentence in Yonkers, New York needs a citation:

Southeast Yonkers is within walking distance of the Woodlawn and Wakefieldneighborhoods of the Bronx.

I'm not sure what source to use for it. Do you know of any good source I can use for this sentence? The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 02:59, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

@The Cadillac Ranger: Citing a newspaper that states that outright or a map with a proper scale would be the best course of action. Otherwise, it must be removed along with other uncited sections per the GA guidelines. SounderBruce 04:39, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I'm looking and so far I found this one. Do you think this would work as a source? The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 17:12, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

@The Cadillac Ranger: That is a poor quality source and not up to GA standards. SounderBruce 20:48, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
