Orphaned references in Union Station (Los Angeles)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Union Station (Los Angeles)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "July2020":

From Rancho Cucamonga station: Sharp, Steven (2020-07-07). "High-Speed Train to Las Vegas Takes Another Step Forward". Urbanize LA. Retrieved 2020-07-07.{{cite news}}: CS1 maint: url-status (link)
From Brightline West: Sharp, Steven (July 7, 2020). "High-Speed Train to Las Vegas Takes Another Step Forward". Urbanize LA. Retrieved July 7, 2020.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 02:27, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Future services module unnecessary

I personally don't believe that we really need the "Future services" module in the infobox for now. CAHSR has no solid timeline for reaching Union, BLW has not even come close to making any concrete plans yet for expansion further than Rancho Cucamonga, let alone to Palmdale, and even then the implication is that they'd be reliant on CAHSR's completion of two separate phases with again, no clear timeframe of completion at this time. The Metrolink infill stations have no solid timeframe of completion, and even if they did, there is very little justification for including them since they won't substantially affect service patterns. The same goes for the Metro Rail's B and D Line station in the Arts District. As for the Southeast Gateway Line, it isn't forecast to reach Union until 2043. (Though to confess the Metrolink and Metro Rail entries were my contributions.) Its just all around WP:TOOSOON at best and WP:CRYSTALBALL at worst for extensions that may not see the light of day, at least in the forms predicted in this infobox. Thoughts?

Article name

Has there been any consensus over whether this article's name should be "Union Station (Los Angeles)" or "Los Angeles Union Station?" If not, I wonder which one would be better. OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 04:26, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there's been a discussion. Category:Union stations in the United States looks like it's split about down the middle. I think you can argue that X Union Station is more natural than Union Station (X), though exceptions might apply. Mackensen (talk) 13:03, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Admittedly, this is less of a formal request for a name change and more of a curious question. My personal subjective preference as a local is that I would ideally prefer "Los Angeles Union Station" because it flows better to me and sounds more "proper" like other large train stations in other large American cities, like Chicago Union Station, Washington Union Station, New York Penn Station, etc. There doesn’t seem to really have been a consensus here on deciding on whether or not whichever name would be better, moreso rather this was the chosen name of the article in the beginning and we’ve stuck with it ever since, hence my question. "Los Angeles Union Station" would be preferable as a WP:NATDIS name, though only if it was the WP:COMMONNAME over "Union Station (Los Angeles)," which I am not sure of, hence the lack of a formal WP:RM. If it is demonstrably the common name, however, I will be more than happy to start a WP:RM discussion. I’d love to hear other editors’ thoughts and perspectives on this subject.
