Opening statement

[edit]

In reviews I conduct, I may make small copyedits. These will only be limited to spelling and punctuation (removal of double spaces and such). I will only make substantive edits that change the flow and structure of the prose if I previously suggested and it is necessary. For replying to Reviewer comment, please use  Done,  Fixed, plus Added,  Not done,  Doing..., or minus Removed, followed by any comment you'd like to make. I will be crossing out my comments as they are redressed, and only mine. A detailed, section-by-section review will follow. —♠Vami_IV†♠ 04:35, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: Another review, should be quick. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 04:35, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prose

[edit]
  • If at all possible, the route map in the infobox should be autocollapsed.
  • there has been criticism about the project of the project
  • After electric trolleys in Brooklyn stopped running in 1956,[2] activists led by the Brooklyn Historic Railway Association (BHRA) have been trying to revive streetcars.[3] If you intend to keep this present tense (not recommended), Since electric trolleys; I recommend rewriting this to be past-tense.
  • In the 1990s, with permission from New York City's government to develop a streetcar line running from Beard Street to Borough Hall, BHRA president Robert Diamond collected disused PCC streetcars that had been used in Boston and Buffalo for potential use on the new line. Split this into two sentences; first should be Diamond seeking and getting that permission, second should be what he did afterwards.
  • By 1999, Diamond had begun laying new track for the project, but in 2003 transportation officials elected to revoke Diamond's rights to the route's right of way, instead intending to sell them to the highest bidder in the event that the project ever moved forward. Diamond's efforts to secure independent funding were not successful. Too long. Split this into two or three sentences, too.
    • Diamond had begun laying new track for the project I assume this is metaphorical. If not, where were these tracks laid?
  • In 2005, Rep. Nydia Velázquez Expand "Rep." to "House Rep.", and link to the House of Representatives.
  • Although BHRA the BHRA
  • the study, which is not public, Why do we need to know it's not publicly available?
  • to Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center. the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center
  • into Greenpoint then, using one-way streets close to the waterfront, pass through Williamsburg and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. and then, and move the one-way streets thing to after "Brooklyn Navy Yard".
  • Link the Pulaski Bridge.
  • within the trains themselves Change "trains" to "streetcars".
  • Ya-Ting Liu, on May 5, 2016. Liu was hired to oversee route operations and design Condense
  • Giambrone is former councilor in Toronto, where he chaired the Toronto Transit Commission. Combine with previous sentence.
  • statement for BQX the BQX
  • South of there South of Williamsburg?

Improved to Good Article status by Kew Gardens 613 (talk) and Epicgenius (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 20:43, 16 April 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • Promoted to GA on the day of the nomination, long enough (12x the requirement, actually), and assumed to be within policy given the GA pass and because I found no obvious faults. Both hooks are short enough and within guidelines, I only added   to the number in ALT1 in accordance with MOS:UNITNAMES. Both hooks are interesting although I would personally prefer ALT0. QPQ has also been completed, therefore this DYK is good to go. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 13:10, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Autonomous vehicle criticism

[edit]

I think including this is very overstated. It was an opinion expressed in one op-ed. it's also a claim that could be leveled at any light rail project in the world, and yet it's not one that is widely expressed anywhere. I think mentioning it at all, let alone in the lead, is WP:UNDUE. oknazevad (talk) 03:25, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
