Line 12 status

Line 12 has been officially announced, though the actual route has not been given yet, the intersections with their lines and the terminus location has been given. I'll update the description on that matter as soon as I get hard references. :) 18:35, 18 June 2007 (UTC) The line has been authorized, references can be found in the actual metro site. 189.180.69.15 03:03, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,

I'm working on updating my kml file to reference this line. It should be done by this weekend. You can find it here: [1] I wasn't sure about the exact location of a couple of them, though, as you'll notice, especially for the terminus, Tlahuac. Maybe you can help me with that?

Also, maybe you can create an account here so that we can talk on your talk page or something. Just a suggestion! :) --Richardmtl 13:54, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Metro zapata.gif

Image:Metro zapata.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note

Would it be important to mention that it is not allowed to take photos or video inside the metro? As far as i know it is because it is considered a strategic building or something like that. Would need to find out exactly why, though. Gigakight (talk) 03:55, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Use of the word "superficial"

This article uses the word "superficial" several times. As a native English speaker, I am unaccustomed to this particular use, although I suppose it's sort of correct, as one of the meanings of "superficial" is "near the surface". However, usage of this word is normally taken to mean "little more than appearance" or "without substance". I think it would be better to say "surface", but I am not sure exactly how the lines & stations in question are built, so this word may not be entirely correct either. --BetaCentauri 19:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It appears to be a translation from superficie, meaning 'at ground level'.
