Journal Corporate Troll's Journal: Do we really need wikipedia articles like this? 8

Journal by Corporate Troll

Linky

Seriously: WTF?!? That article has pretty much next to no value. I only found out because I discovered the "More..."-"Wikipedia" option on Google maps and was curious what I'd get to see when I'd type in my address. NAMSA was no surprise, but the freaking train station? Who writes this crap? Why isn't there a wikipedia article for the "Supermarché Match Capellen"[1] for crying out loud?

[1] That's the supermarket where I do most of my grocery shopping.

    Because you haven't added it yet? ;)

  • This Luxembourgian railway-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.
    This article about a Luxembourgian building or structure is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

    Go to it! Surely, there must be a deep and interesting story behind this small building. :-)

    • You know what is extremely funny? That it has a picture, and the others on the same line don't! Which is strange, because the railway station in Mamer is much prettier and houses a "Mediatheque", which is not mentioned of course!

      As for the Gare in Capellen itself? You can't even buy tickets there anymore. The building doesn't serve for anything anymore. Well, there is a parking and a bike stall behind it... *grin*

  • Eh, I sort of look at stuff like that as preparation for easy insertion of information in the event of the location ever being newsworthy. Having the stub makes it easier to link to when everyone who samples their deli's pork comes down with trichinosis or whatever...

    • Wouldn't it be more appropriate to add such newsworthy things at the main article for the village [wikipedia.org], instead of an article for the train station?

      I never said that my village wasn't "Wikipedia worthy", I just said that its train station isn't.

        Well, you're right, but it'll take that much longer to make a train station entry when somebody's holding hostages there...
