Mosaic

The article says, "One of the Vickers mosaics is preserved in the New York Transit Museum." Is the one in the picture the mentioned one? Vcohen (talk) 06:38, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

P.S. Here is the same part of the museum on Google Maps Street View. Vcohen (talk) 06:47, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

And this seems to be one of these mosaics while still in the station. Vcohen (talk) 20:15, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

That looks like a Robert Fulton boat. So, I am not sure, but this is probably not the station's mosaic. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:09, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, which of my links do you mean? The last one is certainly from this station. Do you mean these are two different boats? Vcohen (talk) 18:27, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Oh. It isn't Fulton Street after all. I was mistaken; I mistook this station's mosaic with the mosaic in the Fulton Street Lexington Avenue Line station. In retrospect, this could be the preserved Vickers mosaic. Epicgenius (talk) 19:46, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:South Ferry – Whitehall Street (New York City Subway) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 04:14, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Page Title

At this point, we have a few options for the page title. This is a situation where it might be better to expand the title a little, as station signage says "World Trade Center". --Captian Cavy (talk) 17:02, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

What is there to discuss? The source says “WTC Cortlandt” is the correct name. Cards84664 (talk) 17:02, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

The problem is, the signage conflicts with the station name. --Captian Cavy (talk) 17:08, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Ok? This isn’t the only case of that happening. Cards84664 (talk) 17:13, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

I’ll pick this back up once the pictures get uploaded. Cards84664 (talk) 17:19, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

WTC is short for "World Trade Center". Generally we don't use abbreviations to describe the full title of an object unless they are primarily known by their abbreviation, per WP:ACRONYMTITLE. I don't see any evidence that the "WTC" abbreviation is the proper name of the station (some of the signs and media spell out the full name), so we should use the full "World Trade Center" title. That's also why the previous name of this article was "Cortlandt Street" and not "Cortlandt St.". epicgenius (talk) 17:36, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

And I see the MTA refers to this station as "WTC Cortlandt Street". That makes things more confusing. The wall signs say "World Trade Center", the columns say "WTC Cortlandt", and all this time the media have been saying "Cortlandt Street". epicgenius (talk) 18:10, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

At this point we might end up with World Trade Center–Cortlandt Street (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line) --Captian Cavy (talk) 19:43, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

We have a few options:

1. World Trade Center–Cortlandt Street
2. World Trade Center–Cortlandt
3. WTC–Cortlandt
4. WTC Cortlandt
5. WTC Cortlandt Street

I think the fourth one is what the MTA is going with. Especially given data entry 328 here. epicgenius (talk) 01:45, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits. It should go to WTC Cortlandt.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 01:49, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Wow I didn't think the MTA would actually update that data so quickly. But yes, I agree that it should be #4. Also, the source on the article exclusively says WTC Cortlandt and even instructs conductors to not announce it as the fully spelled out "World Trade Center". I do wish the MTA would be consistent with signage, but until we have a decent timeframe to determine a common name, it should be WTC Cortlandt. -- rellmerr  02:28, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Requested move 9 September 2018

It has been proposed in this section that WTC Cortlandt station be renamed and moved to WTC Cortlandt (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line).

The discussion may be closed 7 days after being opened, if consensus has been reached (see the closing instructions). Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil. Please use {{subst:requested move}}. Do not use {{requested move/dated}} directly. Links: current log • target log • direct move

World Trade Center–Cortlandt (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line) → WTC Cortlandt (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line) – Per discussion above. Cards84664 (talk) 02:15, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

• Support. This seems to be the official name preferred by the MTA for the time being. The MTA explicitly told workers to spell out "W-T-C" and that the acronym "WTC Cortlandt" is spelled out on official media and on station name signs. Usually WP:COMMONNAME (namely "Cortlandt Street") would prevail, but in this case I would say that the name MTA uses is what we should also use. epicgenius (talk) 03:08, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
• Support, per my comment above. -- rellmerr  03:11, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
• Support, as per the official name for the station. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 03:12, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
• Support, as per all other comments above. I was going to do the page on my own until I saw the notification. --Davidng913 (talk) 12:34, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
• Support. This is the official name, and is indicated as such on the station list and in the memo for conductors.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 13:26, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
• Support Per above. AmericanAir88 13:55, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
