Just another thought - if we have to disambiguate station pages, then that creates some non-standard names.

For example, we would have:
Foggy Bottom-GWU
Tenleytown-AU
Van Ness-UDC

But then we would require disambiguated names for ones like:
Rockville
Vienna
Smithsonian
Anacostia

So should we just go with one format? I'm gonna play around in the Wikiproject now.

Wow, that's gnarly. This page sits untouched for months, then two of us start wikifying the stations. Should we decide on some sort of uniform format, like what the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Station Stations tried to do, but has apparently lay idle?

Also, what about format for the station pages names? There is no present Wikiproject for station (naming). I took a cue from the tube stations (where one is Acton Town tube station), and named mine Foggy Bottom-GWU Washington Metro station. Now, "Metro Center" is pretty unique, but I just wanted input. I'm new here, but already hopelessly addicted, and scared to death that I'm doing things wrong. --Golbez 03:04, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
