Hi, i will try to gradually review all the stations on the 4th Ave line. Expect comments soon 1.02 editor (T/C) 10:09, 9 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Kew Gardens 613 is away for Shabbat and Passover, but I will try to answer any queries. epicgenius (talk) 17:55, 9 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
    • Thanks, I dont mind letting the reviews go on for longer, so take your time. 1.02 editor (T/C) 23:32, 9 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
      • Some initial impressions: Lead could be expanded further to include information that is stated in the body (e.g. opening date). A fair amount of references, and also sufficient images. In addition, I feel that there can be some information on the services to the station (e.g. first and last train), if it helps.--ZKang123 (talk) 03:01, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
        ZKang123, thanks for the feedback. Regarding your last comment, there is no first or last train because it is a 24/7 operation (as are all NYC Subway stations) so we don't include that info. epicgenius (talk) 03:05, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
        @Epicgenius:. Maybe you can fill in like the headways as well and the type of R service and its destination, when applicable.--ZKang123 (talk) 03:42, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
        @ZKang123: I think that is more appropriate for the article on the R service. 1.02 editor (T/C) 03:55, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
        Also, should there be a station layout section? Maybe put the track layout diagram under station design section or something.--ZKang123 (talk) 06:36, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
        Yes. As all NYC subway stations have such a section, this would be consistent with these other sections. I think a timetable would be unnecessary (per WP:NOTGUIDE, as it would be more appropriate for the R train article if there were a consensus to include it), and the station layout already describes the trains' destinations. epicgenius (talk) 20:35, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Comments edit

The problems on this article (and for the rest of the articles about stations on this line) are quite similar. Besides that the article is ok except for a few things, and there is no copyvio

  • History should be mentioned in the lead.
    • Done.
      • Will be more helpful if it was specified what contractor has built the station in the lead.--ZKang123 (talk) 03:55, 11 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Is there even opposite direction transfer in the station since it only goes in one direction?
  • What happened to the planned extension to staten island? it should be briefly mentioned in the article.
  • 'in preparation of the construction of platform extensions to W. M. Walsh Corporation for $6,585.' I think something is missing here.
    • Reworded.
  • Source needed for the claim that it is the geographical westernmost station.
    • Removed.
  • Maybe the image in station layout could be moved to the right below that track layout
    • Done.

Review completed, will allow it to run for longer so that you have time to make changes. 1.02 editor (T/C) 03:53, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • @1.02 editor: Thanks, I have addressed all of the above. Though I think it would be worth waiting until Kew Gardens comes back to get his feedback. epicgenius (talk) 20:35, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • @Epicgenius: Ok, I will defer the passing of the article for a while. 1.02 editor (T/C) 00:41, 11 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
    • @1.02 editor: Due to Passover, I won't be able to do any editing from tonight until Thursday evening at the earliest. I am still committed to addressing your concerns with the article. Thanks for your patience and stay safe. @Epicgenius: Thanks so much for helping out!--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 23:10, 14 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Kew Gardens 613, no problem. @1.02 editor: Can I ask that you defer making the decision about whether to promote all the 4th Avenue Line pages until Thursday at the earliest? I would like to nominate these all as part of a single DYK. epicgenius (talk) 23:14, 14 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Passing. 1.02 editor (T/C) 00:32, 18 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Improved to Good Article status by Kew Gardens 613 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 01:57, 23 April 2020 (UTC).Reply

  •   A new hook is probably needed here as well as both hooks appear to have a limited audience and may not interest those who aren't from New York or aren't familiar with infrastructure (disclosure: I also discussed this with the nominator over at Discord, I'm leaving this comment here as well for transparency purposes).

  That sounds better, but unfortunately I may not have the time to be able to review both articles. Hopefully someone else can take a look here. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:05, 21 May 2020 (UTC
  •   Good articles. QPQ done. hook cited. Approving Alt2. --evrik (talk) 00:25, 25 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
