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.

Incidents

On 20 December 2012, train services on the North East line was delayed due to a train fault. A statement from SBS Transit said there was no train service between Punggol and Little India due to a train fault. Free bus rides were made available at designated bus stops near affected NEL stations. At about 5.18 pm, all train services resumed. SBS Transit has apologised for the inconvenience caused.^[1]^[2]

On 24 April 2013, a woman known only as Madam Ong had her leg trapped in the gap between the station platform and the train, saying that she was pushed. She suffered minor injuries.^[3]

No one was injured in a fire that broke out at a Downtown line worksite along Race Course Road on the evening of 26 March 2014. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) told Yahoo Singapore that a "small fire" had broken out at a "localised area" within the worksite of the Downtown line Little India MRT station. "There is also no impact to DTL2 construction progress," added a spokesperson for the LTA, who added that the fire was put out by 10pm, after it first broke out about half an hour earlier.^[4]

Hello, I have decided to take on this GAN review. This is my first GAN review. I cannot guarantee that this will be finished quickly, but it will be a priority for me on Wikipedia (so long as I have time for this website). starship.paint (talk / cont) 12:01, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note that I haven't forgotten about this and I will next be reviewing the sources. My apologies for the delay. starship.paint (talk / cont) 14:45, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lede

Lede should mention that the station was announced in 1996. starship
- Done.
Consider adding the companies that constructed the station to the lede. starship
- Truthfully I rather not, because unless the companies did something very outstanding or very bad with the project, they aren't worthy to be included.

Infobox

Please, to the best of your ability, source everything in the infobox. starship

Operated by SBS Transit Ltd (ComfortDelGro Corporation. There needs to be content in the body about this. starship

Platforms 4 (2 island platforms) / Tracks 4 / Platform levels 2 - needs sources or should not be there. starship

Images

We have an image of the NEL platform but do not show File:Little India MRT Station DTL.jpg. Please find somewhere to insert this photo. starship
- There's already a photo of the DTL platforms at the DTL artwork section Woven Field. Usually for the history I would prioritise having an image of the construction site.
  - The Details section has no image and does mention the DTL. starship

History

In preliminary studies for the North East line (NEL) in 1986, it was planned for the line to serve - who is "it"? Who planned? starship
- I just reworded the sentence in another manner.
The line was not considered financially viable in 1989 - considered by who? starship
- Government of Singapore
It was initially planned to close Buffalo Lane - when? starship
- Source did not say.
the Moulmein Tekka Residents' Committee raised concerns of road congestion - when? starship
- Source did not say.
a metal decking was constructed to keep the road open - when? starship
- Source did not say.
frontal segmental jacking method - is there any wikilink for this that can explain what this is? starship
- No
open-face tunnelling method - is there any wikilink for this that can explain what this is? starship
- No
required protection against settlement - any explanation, elaboration or wikilink for this? starship
- Ground settlement
  - Settlement (structural) - this? starship
    - Fixed.
manually mined - any explanation, elaboration or wikilink for this? starship
- It's just... manually mined?
Potential content to be added - any relation to the 2013 Little India riot? For example, this article says a rioter continued his streak of creating chaos and unrest by inciting others to help carry a small metal rack and ram it against a side wall of the Little India MRT station. starship
- Probably too trivial to be included.--ZKang123 (talk) 06:17, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Details

Any way to include the nearby Farrer Park Field? starship
- Well it's not stated in source. So no.
  - Which source are you referring to? This source that does mention Farrer Park Field? starship
    - Oh, but well, I don't consider it important to add as a landmark.
If you are using [this source, you might as well mention that there are six exits: A to F. starship
Wider fare gates allow easier access - wider gates for Downtown Line only? Or for both lines? starship
- There is for the NEL but the book didn't really state outright there are also wider faregates for the NEL.

Public artwork

Chandra's shift to creating accessible public art was a new experience, challenging him to balance his artistic voice with contemporary concerns. He eventually embraced the nature of public art, finding enjoyment in working with concepts integral to people's lives and culture - I think we can remove this sentence. It's more about Chandra and less about the train station. starship
- Removed.
