Bukit Timah Line

I am adding the following to the article: "If the LTA approved on the Bukit Timah Line project, Newton Mrt Station will be an interchange station." If you have any objection to this sentence, feel free to delete it but you must tell me the reason of deleting it. -- Aranho 21:44, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Comments

I know the article is brief but the lead looks a little short to me still.
What's an "interchange station"?
"in the planning area" what's a planning area?
"Exit B of Newton MRT station." no full stop required.
I would lose one of the images, they're not exactly unique to this station - right now the references are crushed up on my screen because of the image under the infobox.
"US$20.16 " one decimal place for conversions.
"Bus, Taxi" taxi
"Depth 12 metres (39 ft) (North South line platforms)" what about the Downtown line?
"Yes (External)" external
Parking is not mentioned in the article.
"jet grouting" what's that?
"scan through bags" no need for "through"
"validate our preparedness " who is "our"?
"caused the fire. The fire was" repetitive.
Link Singapore Civil Defence Force
"7 & 8" and.
How frequently do trains come through?
"and this station" just "and Newton" would be fine.
"gives the station a distinct character" according to whom?
"station design was simple" surely "is"?
"stands out greatly" according to whom?
"curve lines" curved?
"creating an organic landscape" sounds like a tourist brochure.
Ref 31, italics for Straits Times.
Ref 25 and 36 need en-dashes, not hyphens.

That's it, on hold for now. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 13:36, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Addressed most of the issues above. "Planning area" refers more to a constituent district in Singapore, but I find it irrelevant so I removed it. Also cited for parking, but I don't see how it can be in the body (too trivial to be in there). Also worked on the station design.--ZKang123 (talk) 00:52, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I made a few little tweaks, but passing now. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:08, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
