Starting review. --Truflip99 (talk) 20:08, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

History

[edit]
  • "As a terminal, 169th Street station was considered inefficient due to being a local station." -- could you clarify on what this means?
  • 169th Street wikilink leads to same article, needs to be omitted
    •  Done
  • Terminal station wikilink needs to be on first instance
    •  Done
  • Omit wikilink to 179th Street
    •  Done
  • "At that time, this station was considered to be the most congested due to the numerous bus lines that either terminated just outside or at the nearby 165th Street Bus Terminal." -- clarify which station
    •  Done
  • "The full-time and part-time booths at the station were switched since over half of the remaining riders using the station lived closer to 169th Street. Before the change, most riders came from the Bus Terminal via the 168th Street entrance. The 168th Street booth was made part-time, and the 169th Street booth was made full-time." -- could you clarify on what any of this means?

Station layout

[edit]
  • "There are two fare control areas at either end" -- of what?

@Epicgenius:, @Kew Gardens 613: -- Hi all. Just following up on this GA review. There are a couple more pending items above. And I am gonna add my final thoughts below. --Truflip99 (talk) 20:05, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

epicgenius, Kew Gardens 613: Thanks for addressing these. My remaining issue is this reference -- it doesn't sufficiently support the prose it is referencing. Is there no alternative out there for this? --Truflip99 (talk) 15:28, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I can hide this info for now, since I can't find a ref for this. epicgenius (talk) 15:30, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Cool, we'll get this one passed :) --Truflip99 (talk) 15:42, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Epicgenius: Technically, I do have a source for this, but I do not think I can use it as a reference without getting someone in big trouble (i.e. someone gave someone else access to an internal document, and the second person gave me access to it, and the document was not supposed to be made public). Hiding it seems like the prudent thing to do. Thanks so much for your help with this GA. I have been very busy with schoolwork. @Truflip99: Thank you once again for being an amazing reviewer and for taking this article up.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:37, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • My pleasure. Will try get more knocked out in the next few weeks as I am stuck at home with cabin fever. The both of you, please stay safe during these eventful times. --Truflip99 (talk) 17:43, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
