Merge proposal
editWell, the articles were tagged with a merge proposal on November 15, two weeks as of my current writing, but no discussion has opened. I'm going to post this identical talk to the other talkpage, too.
The text on this article and the proposed merge article, 179th Street Tunnel is almost identical. The only real difference I can discern is a singular mention regarding the direction of traffic flow (eastbound on the 178th and westbound on the 179th).
Rather just than merging one into the other, and redir'ing, would there be a beneficial rename? Something like "The 178th and 179th Streets tunnels", altho that is a bit unwieldy. Yngvarr 17:35, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- I would go with the name 178th–179th Street tunnels. I suspect the article will be very rarely linked to; these tunnels' very existence is neither well known nor often discussed. Most of the current links to these pages are via the template {{Avenues of New York City}}. Marc Shepherd (talk) 19:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
High Rise

Copyright violation
editWhen this article was created, the text was copy and pasted right of the Trans-Manhattan Expressway page from nycroads.com. This makes it a copyright violation, even if changes have been made to the text since then. The copyright violation therefore needs to be deleted from the database, and in order to do this while still maintaining GFDL compliance, you cannot simply remove the notice and edit the text, or even rewrite it completely. In order to write a new version without copyright-infringing material, you need to click the link on the copyvio template (or this one: Talk:178th-179th Street Tunnels/Temp) and write it there instead, so that the old article can be properly deleted, and the new one can be moved in its place. – Kacie Jane (talk) 02:04, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
