GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
  • WP:OR concerns: "The original alignment of the Fairmount Avenue station date back to the chartering of the Hackensack and New York Railroad in 1856 by David P. Patterson and other investors" There is no explicit connection about Hackensack and the article subject in the ref
  • Ref 4 does not name "Anderson Street, Fairmount Avenue and Central Avenue".
  • Rider Guide Map may show the station, but most probably not state "during partial ownership between Conrail and New Jersey Transit"
  • The closing of station date "1983" contradicts "by the 1982 timetables, was removed from service". Also a correct date when it was removed from service is needed. "The line became part of ... New Jersey Transit in 1983." If it was closed in 1983 and removed from service in 1982, could it ever be part of NJT???? [clarification needed]
  • The lead needs the closing date
  • "Hackensack and New York Railroad" focuses too much on the railroad, without establishing clear connection with the effects on the station. "By 1870, the tracks had been extended ..."
  • Focussed? : "Trains terminated at Hillsdale with fare of only $0.75 (1870 USD)" The fare amount's connection to the station is unclear. A fare from the first station on the line to Fairamount may be included
  • The article does not cover why the station was closed and when exactly.
  • The article also needs to cover who used the station, a background of what was around the station like offices, residential area, markets, go-downs at the time of use?

GA FAIL (criteria 2 and 3). --Redtigerxyz Talk 05:07, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
