Selected station

División del Norte metro station ([diβiˈsjon del ˈnoɾte] ^ⓘ) is a station of the Mexico City Metro in the city's borough of Benito Juárez. It is an underground railway stop with two side platforms serving Line 3 (Olive Line), between Eugenia and Zapata. It was opened on 25 August 1980. The station's name references a nearby avenue, which in turn honors the armed faction of the same name formed during the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution (1910–1920). Its pictogram depicts the revolutionary Pancho Villa riding a horse, who also formed part of the division. The facilities do not offer accessibility for people with disabilities. (more...)

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet

It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.

This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
