Welcome to the Connecticut WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of articles related to Connecticut.

Goals and scope

• The goal of this WikiProject is to provide complete coverage on subjects related to Connecticut by expanding articles on people, places, and things resident in or native to Connecticut.
• This project proposes to work with all pages related to the state of Connecticut and its history, geography, and people. All these articles should be included in the Category:Connecticut or one of its subcategories.
• All members should always feel free to patrol the articles in the project assessment table Wikipedia:WikiProject Connecticut/Assessment to note improvements, other changes, or vandalism of articles.
• Recruit new membership from Category:Wikipedians in Connecticut and from articles that you're working on.

Connecticut infobox vote

Please consider the following question: should we as a project include transportation in the infobox of a municipality?

There is no particular standard to go by. Some articles have their airport(s) listed such as Louisville, Kentucky and Chicago while some do not such as Salt Lake City and Seattle. The same is true for roads, bus-lines, and rail. With over 20 airports in the state and scores of cities and towns with bus and/or rail service, we should set a standard.

Please vote FOR or AGAINST inclusion. Voting will close at 12.01 (PM) on 11 November 2018.

• Abstain - I have no particular inclination on this issue. Markvs88 (talk) 19:56, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
• For - I don't really have much issue with them in general. (I never removed the airport section off of Hartford, Connecticut, someone else did) Just don't add too many. —JJB^ers 02:38, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
• For - Infrastructure such as major highways, airports and commuter rail lines are vital pieces of infrastructure to any city, and deserve mentioning in the infobox. Being that many other US cities list these items in their infoboxes, it seems only appropriate that Connecticut cities have the same pieces of information included in their infoboxes.--AirportExpert (talk) 20:45, 28 October 2018 (UTC)AirportExpert
• Comment: I only offer one comment regarding infoboxes. Some infoboxes or their features do not allow for a left alignment of images. While the MOS warns against left alignment of images, it does not forbid the practice. Sometimes left alignment of narrow images is appropriate for placing them adjacent to the relevant text. I am currently dealing with an infobox which is preventing such a left alignment. I am offering this only as a consideration as to the downside of a long infobox in the context of incorporating left aligned images. This may be a consideration in determining how much content should be included in a particular infobox. Oldsanfelipe (talk) 23:30, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

That's interesting, thanks for the heads up! Markvs88 (talk) 11:38, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

• For - New York City actually does have its area airports (including Newark) listed in the infobox. I'm surprised at how relatively sparse the Connecticut articles' infoboxes are. For example, with Stamford, there should be both an interactive map and a pushpin map, the latter to instantly click on to delineate at minimum its location within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Castncoot (talk) 04:00, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

  New York City's infobox still only lists the three major airports in the area. Hartford only has one major airport in the area. Plus, Hartford's infobox has more info than what NYC's infobox has. —JJB^ers 14:19, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

  Are you looking at the same Hartford and Stamford pages that I am? Because they're pathetically sparse, without even a national pushpin map, like every other city of any significant size has got. We need to update these Connecticut pages to bring them out of the horse and buggy era and into the 21st century. Castncoot (talk) 16:34, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
