From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Central Link is a light rail line serving Seattle, Washington, United States, and its surrounding suburbs. It is operated by Sound Transit as part of the Link light rail system and runs 20 miles (32 km) from the University of Washington campus to the city of SeaTac, passing through Downtown Seattle, the Rainier Valley, the city of Tukwila, and Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. Construction on the system began in 2003 after decades of shelved transit plans and trains began operating from Downtown Seattle to Tukwila in 2009. Since then, the line has been expanded three times; it currently carries over 70,000 daily passengers and is slated to be extended to the north, south, and east in the early 2020s.

Over the past three years, I have been slowly piecing together this topic to represent Seattle's budding "light metro" system. All currently opened stations are included; future stations opening in the next extension (three stations, 2021) have already attained GA status and can be added on opening day, while articles on under construction stations (to open in 2023) are in the middle of being improved to GA status. Note that University of Washington station is currently at FAC, and I plan to take Central Link to FAC before its ten-year anniversary in July 2019. --SounderBruce 07:58, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: University of Washington station was promoted to FA on March 14. SounderBruce 23:13, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, nice work! Even have a featured article in there! I first thought maybe List of Link light rail stations would be appropriate to include, however I can see that it's slightly outside the scope of this topic (though could eventually be merged into a topic called Link light rail stations with the addition of the Takoma stations).

Thanks. I modeled this GTC after the Ring Line (Oslo) topic, putting the line as the lead article. I plan to take the list of stations to FLC within the next few months, but the Tacoma stations are unlikely to be improved to GA status, being little more than streetcar stops.

Tuvalu has not participated in many Olympics, and has participated in Summer Olympics at that. Not only has no one medaled, they have never made it past the first round in any event. This is primarily due to poor facilities and training.

Merged the flagbearers article into the lead article, expanded the NOC article into a GA, and expanded all the individual Olympic articles into GAs --Kees08 (Talk) 03:12, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Support - looks great thank you! 87Fan (talk) 18:19, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment A few minor issues I found:
  • the topic should include a book page (currently does not)
  • please standardize the categories for the pages - for example some articles are part of the 'Tuvalu at the Olympics' category, and some are not. Shouldn't they all be?
    • In {{:Category:Tuvalu at the Summer Olympics by year}} (which contains all three individual Summer Olympics articles), it says "The main article for this category is Tuvalu at the Summer Olympics." I believe the categories are correct based on that, did you have any thoughts? Kees08 (Talk) 19:50, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • not sure why the 2016 article doesn't have a table of contents when the 2008 & 2012 do? (maybe it has too few sections?)
  • the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are listed in the 'Tuvalu at the Olympics' page but there's nothing in the article that talks about the 2020 Olympics - it's not clear if they've even qualified? I realize this probably should have been addressed in the GA review of the page but I figured this is good a time as any to address that too. Thanks! 87Fan (talk) 17:45, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks good to me. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 01:28, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All articles have been promoted to GA status in time, so I believe this topic is out there as well... --Cartoon network freak (talk) 19:57, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm nominating this as a complete topic, an account of the rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester United. The articles selected for this topic are ones which have shaped and defined the rivalry, hence why the 1979 FA Cup Final and 1948 FA Charity Shield are omitted. It begins with the Old Trafford brawl and ends with the 2005 FA Cup Final. --Lemonade51 (talk) 19:53, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
