Prose

[edit]
  • Is mentioning the Black Swan and Paganoni Lakes relevant; are they big tourist places? Otherwise this mention seems trivial compared to the Lakelands Shopping Centre.
    • I think it is relevant because the lakes take up a significant portion of the station's walkable catchment area.
      • Sure, I agree with that point.
  • "where the bus interchange and car park is located" – should be "where the bus interchange and car park are located" as there are two items.
    • Done.
  • "accessed via" is used three times in the second paragraph of Description, and all three uses are quite close to each other. Is there a synonym that could be used to replace one of these instances to improve flow?
    • Reworded two of those.
  • "The station is located on an embankment" – wikilink embankment (earthworks)
    • Done.
  • Is listing the consultant team noteworthy? There is a lot and most of them are minor construction companies without Wikipedia articles.
    • I decided lead architect was worthy of keeping and removed the others.
      • Agreed.
  • "Lakelands station was listed as one of four possible future stations between Mandurah station and Warnbro station (then known as Waikiki station), alongside Gordon Road, Paganoni Road (Karnup station) and Stakehill Road." – recommend using a period comma after (Karnup station). The whole sentence is quite confusing with the double usage of parentheses… at least for me, due to the station being named Gordon Road I did not initially realise it was one of the three stations being listed and had to read this sentence three times before I got it.
    • I hope my reworded has helped.
      • Yes, thanks!
  • "Mandurah and Warnbro stations was the largest gap on the Transperth network." – recommend "Mandurah and Warnbro stations was the largest gap between stations on the Transperth network." just to be more clear.
    • Done.
  • "but was left out of its revised Metronet plan in 2015, in favour of Karnup station, 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) north, being built." – IMO "being built" is not necessary here.
    • Done.
  • "Starting in 2017, several people" – is there a better wording available; i.e. "several politicians" etc?
    • Reworded to "public figures".
  • "The Public Transport Authority modified" – add (PTA) as this abbreviation is mentioned later.
    • Done.
  • "During the first few months of 2022" – why not "During early 2022"?
  • "Lakelands station is planned to open mid-2023." – recommend "Lakelands station is planned to open in mid-2023."
    • Done.
  • "and Perth Underground stations" – wikilink Perth Underground.
  • "It is forecast that 25% of passengers" – recommend "It is forecast that 25 percent of passengers" in this context per WP:%.
    • Done.
  • I have not done the spotcheck yet, but there are a few short sentences that have several citations. For instance, "Concept images were released in May 2021" has three citations. Just wondering—is there a reason for this? Are they all necessary?
    • I've removed all instances of there being three references in a row.

Refs

[edit]

All sources used are either RS or used appropriately and within reason. Passes spotcheck—no concerns with refs 8, 19, 22, 28, 35, 45 or 53. Not sure if this is a problem with my connection, but ref 13 would not load.

  • Is a better publication name available for ref 1?
    • Is that better?
  • Same concern as above for the second source in Further reading.
    • Is that better?
      • Yes to both.

Other

[edit]

Infobox, coords, WP:ALT text, Further reading, External links, navs, cats and other templates good.

  • I believe the short description should be changed to "Under-construction railway station in Perth, Western Australia" as to be more informative.
    • Changed short description. Removed Perth as its not technically true and makes the short description too long.
      • Good thinking!
