On 7 January 2018, it was proposed that this article be moved from Dover MRT Station to Dover MRT station. The result of the discussion was moved.

Where? :)

It's quite impressive that you can read into the second paragraph before receiving a hint as to where this station is! :) 138.37.199.206 08:28, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

don't quite get what you mean.. Chensiyuan 08:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, ok. Given proper intro in first line of first paragraph. —Sengkang 02:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:NS logo.jpg

Image:NS logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

First ever elevated station with side platforms?

I'm questioning the claim that this was "the first elevated station with two side platforms on either side of the tracks, as opposed to having a island platform in all other elevated stations." I'm sure there must be hundreds of earlier such stations across the world. 79.74.17.34 (talk) 17:28, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I finally have the time to take a look at this, it should be a quick one. Gerald WL 04:04, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, I think it'd be best if the sentence has a "in Singapore" at the end, as a geographic qualifier. Yes there's SP at the next sentence but it doesn't hurt to be consistent.
- Fixed.--ZKang123 (talk) 13:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Previous names Polytechnic"-- I think previous name is a misnomer, since technically it didn't open as Polytechnic station, rather it was just an initial plan. Also it'd be better if this info is also written in the history section.
- That's the only parameter for provisional names. Also mentioned in the lead, when the provisional name was first mentioned.--ZKang123 (talk) 13:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 1 website-- "SMRT Journeys"
- Fixed.--ZKang123 (talk) 13:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 13, 23: link website, add publisher to be consistent
- Fixed.--ZKang123 (talk) 13:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 14: link pub to be consistent
- Fixed.--ZKang123 (talk) 13:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 18: move web to pub, remove the abbreviation, link, to be consistent
- Fixed.--ZKang123 (talk) 13:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is the Changi guide link necessary? AFAIK it was decided that it's redundant in some GAN or FAC.
- Removed.--ZKang123 (talk) 13:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest writing the long name of MRTC instead of the abbr; it isn't mentioned anywhere else.
- Fixed.
"The Land Transport Authority said"-- would be less monotone if you add a contrast-- "The Land Transport Authority (LTA), however, said"
- Fixed.
"as part of the Land Transport Authority's (LTA)" --> "as part of the LTA's"-- see above change
- Fixed.
"Dover station is located along Commonwealth Avenue West and is directly linked to Singapore Polytechnic via a linkbridge. The station serves the School of Science & Technology and New Town Sec School, and other residential developments including Fontana Heights and Marbella Condo." I have an idea of writing that the SP exit is westward, and that eastward it serves all these other places. Also there are three instances of and which can be confusing; "and other residential developments" can probably be "as well as". Also should "Sec" be "Secondary"?
- Fixed. Actually the SP exit is southward and the other exit is northward, but I rather not write that because it kind of leans into OR.
"At a height of 21 metres (69 ft), the three-level station has an arched metal roof supported by stainless steel columns to give a more spacious interior. The station concourse level was clad in floor-to-ceiling glass panels." You can prob just move ref 24 to the second sentence and remove [9][24] at the first sentence.
- Fixed.

Fixed the above issues.--ZKang123 (talk) 08:35, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ZKang123 Sorry for the late reply, was pretty busy for the past few days (in SG rn lol). Anyway, it all seems good now, no non-GA issues I can see. Perhaps you can add alt texts to the two images and I'll pass this art. for GA. I'll respond tmrw, but please ping me once you're done in case I have amnesia. Gerald WL 14:21, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerald Waldo Luis: added alt.--ZKang123 (talk) 01:51, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, all seems fine now w/ the article-- promoting very soon. Gerald WL 15:18, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
