Re: 2007 Atlantic Hurricane Season

It was brought up before and there were no objections to limiting it to just the CSU and NOAA forecasts, since in prior years we only used those two. We can reopen the discussion if you want. --Ajm⁸¹ 22:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

On 7 January, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Selkirk hurdle, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

FYI, it's OK to mark introduction of wikilinks (e.g. your recent edit at Urban canyon) as a minor change in the edit summary. Just thought you might want to know. — Brianhe (talk) 05:02, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Michigan Service

Just out of curiosity, do you know why MDOT and Amtrak have different Amtrak ridership numbers? We've been using MDOT numbers for a few years now (sometimes calender years and other times fiscal year), so if you're going to change out a few, I'd suggest changing them all out. --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:38, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Hmmm. Good question. I would imagine MDOT would receive its figure from Amtrak, and so they should therefore be identical. So it's strange to hear that they are different. I was mainly using Amtrak data to conform with what's generally been posted for stations in other states. (Michigan is fortunate in that it even has data from its DOT.) My plan is to update all stations across the country to Amtrak FY2017 data from it's recently posted state fact sheets. Hopefully therefore everything will be consistent. I plan to update 10-20 stations per day, which should take about one to two months to complete. Within Michigan, that probably translates into about one to two stations per day, I'm guessing? Yesterday I did Albion, Detroit, New Buffalo, and Troy. Today I had planned to do Ann Arbor and Dowagiac. FYI if you are interested in a map showing 2003-2017 ridership data for each station, it's here: http://www.startsandfits.com/RailMaps/USRailMap.html Hover the mouse over any station for its name, then click on the station icon to get train service info and ridership data. The Interloafer (talk) 13:50, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Here is the site to MDOT's rail statistics if you're interested: https://mdotjboss.state.mi.us/RailStats/railStatsHome.htm It appears the differences are due to how MDOT and Amtrak count data not specifically given to any individual station, which I find weird that this category would even exists. But, there it is. --Criticalthinker (talk) 12:03, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Nearly forgot to add that since some Michigan station pages have charts and figures in the infobox using calender year instead of fiscal year, you might have to correct quite a bit of data to switch everything over to fiscal year. For instance, for my hometown of Lansing, the East Lansing amtrak station page has always figures in calender year, though we made note of the change over fiscal year below the chart. Please be aware of this. --Criticalthinker (talk) 11:10, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

OK, understood. I can make sure to clearly source to Fiscal Year for the statistics from Amtrak's FY reports. Is that the solution you're looking for? BTW thanks for MDOT link. The Interloafer (talk) 00:36, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
