19 year old teen????

[edit]

A 19 year old man or 19 year old woman?? We already know the person is a teenager by the age. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clementi1965 (talkcontribs) 16:37, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Did this accident really happen? Didn't notice any news about it. And furthermore LRT services don't start that early, at 5am.- martin (talk) 16:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:NS logo.jpg

[edit]

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

[edit]
  • "free regular and bridging bus services", "The repair works were completed by 11:49am" - minor paraphrasing required.
    •  Fixed
  • "5:45 am on Sundays" - not required, too much detail.
    •  Done
      • Needs further trimming. Day specific timings not required, just mention the average or the weekday time.
  • Use 24 hour format and mention the timezone.
  • $166.4 million, which country's dollar?
  • "Passenger Service Centre" - capitalised case not required.
    •  Done
  • Expand the lead a little bit.
    •  Done
  • The station opened ... 20 June that year - if possible, move to another para. (MOS:PARA)
  • Some citations are not properly formatted. Like [15]. Add author's name etc. Also, remove these "LTA | News room" from the citations.
  • Need more details about the "Art-in-Transit Programme". Provide wikilink or a note.
  • Replace "Media related to Sengkang MRT/LRT Station at Wikimedia Commons" with {{Commons category}}.
  • "Sengkang NEL MRT platforms" I would suggest changing the caption to "MRT platforms of the station".
    •  Done
  • Add other East loop stations on the SKLRT opened along with this in the body also.
  • The Bus Interchanges in lead - also add them to the body.
  • Aljunied, Bishan, Khatib, Kranji and Yew Tee - wikilink them.
    •  Done
  • "The lifts were ... by end 2013." - I don't think year of installation is significant.
    •  Done
  • The last para of Public artwork section has only 1 citation. I would suggest adding more.
  • What is Kampung?
  • 4 platforms, 4 tracks, 2 island platforms - Add this in the body with source.
  • Make a separate heading for the incident, above notes and refs.
  • wikilink "interchange station" in the first line.
    •  Done
  • add that the station is elevated, in the body.
    •  Done
  • The station has four levels, and 3 platform levels. This might create confusion. Add what the other level is.
  • Disabled access citation needed.
  • "The station is connected to compass heights and others" - this is mentioned twice (in 'location' and 'design'). Remove one of them.
  • "includes improved barrier-free access to the station, new dual-speed escalators leading to the platforms, and an additional lift for the MRT, LRT and mezzanine levels of Sengkang station." - While spot checking, found this part is same as the citation no. [14].
  • No need to mention "ambitious programme", as almost all govt. (even in my country) say the programmes ambitious. Instead you can mention the programme name.

[edit]
  • is within walking distance to the Compassvale Bus Interchange. - should probably be "within walking distance of"
    •  Done
  • developed under an ambitious programme by the Government - Either the Singapore government could be linked here, or "Government" should be lowercase.
    •  Done
  • The station begun to serve the West loop - "The station began..." or "The station had begun...". In this case, "began" is better.
    •  Done
  • In 2018, it was announced that the station will be further upgraded which includes improved barrier-free access to the station, new dual-speed escalators leading to the platforms, and an additional lift for the MRT, LRT and mezzanine levels of Sengkang station as well as expanding the current LRT train platform to create a more spacious area for commuters by 2022. - I'd split this into 2 sentences, after "the MRT, LRT and mezzanine levels of Sengkang station".
    •  Done
  • The station is located in Sengkang New Town[20], located along Sengkang Square.[1] - put punctuation before references, and I would remove both instances of "located".
    •  Done
  • The MRT/LRT station was the first such station on the MRT network to have all three modes of transport seamlessly connected. - "Seamlessly connected" sounds strange. I would suggest something like "The MRT/LRT station was the first intermodal station on the MRT network for all three modes of transport". epicgenius (talk) 16:53, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Done

[edit]

Someone pinged me inregards to Commons being inline - Generally speaking I prefer inline when there's barely any external links - A box template is useful over inline when there's a lot of links as the reader may miss it with there being loads of links whereas that wouldn't be the case with 1 or 2 links, Personally I see no reason why this should be changed and I'm rather miffed as to why a Commons link is part of a GA criteria....–Davey2010Talk 21:00, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
