[edit]- 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)

Lede
[edit]settled

- I feel that more can be added to the lede regarding Memoirs of the Past and Woven Field, as the lede should reflect the body and the body extensively discusses these. starship
Infobox
[edit]- 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
Electrified Yes
- according to Template:Infobox_station, the electrified parameter is part of History and is supposed to specify the Date station was electrified, if not previously at date of opening. It's not for 'Yes' or 'No'. starship
Images
[edit]- 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

The line was not considered financially viable by the Government of Singapore in 1989
- I think there needs to be more explanation/elaboration. The source does say Government has decided in principle to extend the MRT ... timing of construction ... depend on the development of housing estates in the north-east, because unless there is sufficient demand. starshipConstruction of the station was scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2009 with a targeted completion date of 2015
. can be paraphrased more. I found the paraphrasing in the article inconsistent, certainly there were good attempts at paraphrasing in the article, but some parts mirror the sources too closely. I fixed some of those, but I shouldn't fix everything. starship- The source [1] corroborates that NEL started in June 2005, but the exact date of 20 June is not stated. Perhaps one of the following sources does back it up but I am not sure at the moment. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] starship
The DTL station opened on 27 December 2015
. - the two references cited ([7] and [8]) precede 27 December 2015. They are predicting a future event, not confirming that it occurred. I suggest you remove these sources and instead use a source from 27 December 2015 or later (such as this by Railway Gazette International or this by The Straits Times). starship

Inspired by Hindu icons, Chandrasekaran's art explores themes such as the human body, birth, sexuality, self-knowledge, and the cosmos.
and laterThis third eye is also a motif throughout Chandrasekaran's work at Little India station, and he hoped to simplify Indian icons (or "archetypes" – his preferred term) for the modern era
. I think these can be removed, the content focuses on Chandrasekaran's previous/other art instead of Memoirs of the Past.The bronze kolam patterns represent Lord Shiva's third eye, symbolizing wisdom and insight, said Chandrasekaran
is OK, should be kept. starship
Drawing inspiration from Rajasthani folk art, which he studied during his postgraduate program in India, Chandrasekaran's paintings at Little India feature raw, simple lines and distorted proportions, blending child-like charm with stylized abstraction

General comments
[edit]- I've added some attributions for statements or quotes. My take is that if our source does not state a fact in their own voice but instead quotes another entity, then we cannot state this fact in wiki-voice and should also quote that entity. starship
