Hey! I finally have the time to take a look at this, it should be a quick one. GeraldWL 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.
  • "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.
  • 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.
