Contested deletion

[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because The subject of this article is a quiet but crucial piece of the new york commute, transporting thousands of people daily. in general the people it serves are neither particularly literate nor vocal in english, online or in print so that subjects pertaining to them are not properly deceminated. but nonetheless this subject and the article on it are important, relevant and justified. --*NoTA* 00:27, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Reinsertion of Irrelevant Source Citation

[edit]

This article has a statement, "In general Spanish Transportation jitneys are slightly less expensive and significantly more flexible with pickup and drop-off locations and payment"

There is a cited source for this statement:

1. Cichowski, John (March 20, 2011), "Do jitneys siphon cash from NJ Transit?", The Record

The cited Record article makes absolutely NO mention about Spanish Transportation being less expensive and more flexible. The focus of that Record article is whether NJ Transit buses are losing money to jitney companies like Spanish Transportation

I removed the Record citation on 2/12/13 with a link to another citation in the article:

1. "Jitneys attracting riders, rivals on Paterson-to-N.Y. commute", The Record, May 23, 2007.

This citation is a suitable source for the referenced statement since it indicated the greater flexibility and frequency of the the jitneys and the lower fares.

Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 haneʼ undid my change without any explanation.

If Alansohn (talk), who undid the original changes, wants to Undo my changes that deleted an irrelevant source citation that would be correctly covered by another source citation in the article, Alansohn (talk) needs to explain why my edits should be undone for consensus review by users of this page. Any additional feedback from Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 haneʼ would be welcomed. Wondering55 (talk) 00:11, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will update the article based on Alansohn's acceptance of these changes based on my explanation. See Alansohn response at Teahouse/Questions.Wondering55 (talk) 14:36, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
