@The Rambling Man: Due to the Jewish holiday of Passover and the Sabbath on Saturday, I won't be editing from tonight until Saturday night at the earliest. I wanted to let you know to make sure that you know that I am still committed to addressing your review.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 21:51, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

No problem. My best to you for your time off. No rush. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 22:01, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: In Kew Gardens 613's absence, I can address any issues that can come up. Just ping me with any issues you find. epicgenius (talk) 03:05, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Comments

• Zip code referenced?
• Some transit connections (e.g. SIM15) in the infobox aren't referenced or mentioned elsewhere.
• Traffic rank isn't referenced.
• "OMNY accepted" not mentioned or referenced anywhere other than infobox.
  • I have referenced all of these now. In the next update to the infobox, traffic rank will be referenced automatically. epicgenius (talk) 15:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
• "a third side platform was created for northbound trains." this is odd when the next sentence says "one side platform". I guess you mean in the previous sentence that a third platform, a side one, was created...?
  • Sorry, "a third, side platform". Two platforms, previously built, were island platforms. epicgenius (talk) 15:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
• station ADA-accessible." No explanation as to what that means, perhaps rephrase to something more like "station compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990."?
  • Explained what it is. epicgenius (talk) 15:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
• "Bowling Green–South Ferry Shuttle" our article doesn't capitalise shuttle.
  • Fixed.
• "Between 1910 and ..." I try to avoid single sentence paras.
  • Fixed.
• " would be built" any reason why this isn't just "was built"?
  • Good point, fixed.
• "end.[17][16]" ref order.
  • Done.
• "demapping and closing of" what is "demapping"? And I would go for "and closure".
  • In NYC, some streets have been officially closed and removed from the official city map. I have fixed this. epicgenius (talk) 15:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
• "increased ridership resulting from the increased construction " increased x 2, quick repeat.
  • Fixed.
• "World Trade Center." link.
  • Done.
• "and the under construction stations" I imagine that should be "under-construction" as an adjective.
  • Done.
• "then pushed back to" then delayed until.
  • Done.
• " use of the shuttle platform and the track used by the shuttle." why not " platform and the track used by the shuttle."
  • Done.
• Link MetroCard.
• Again, avoid single-sentence paras.
  • Done both.
• "Station layout" Street Level -> Street level, overlinked "island platform", " fits 3 cars" -> "fits three cars".
  • Fixed the relevant template. epicgenius (talk) 15:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
• "Bowling Green–South Ferry Shuttle" (capital S again) is overlinked.
  • It was formerly at the capital-S title. Fixed now. epicgenius (talk) 15:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
• "station ADA-accessible" overlinked.
• "Joralemon Street Tunnel" overlinked.
  • Removed both. epicgenius (talk) 15:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
• "8:45 pm" non-breaking space.
  • Fixed.
• "control house" and "Bowling Green (New York City) " are overlinked.
• "Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House " overlinked.
  • Removed both.
• "The current exhibition, since 2018, is ..." -> "Since 2018, the exhibition is..."
  • Done.
• "New York City designated landmark " overlinked.
  • Removed.
• Ref 18 needs fixing.
  • Fixed.
• Avoid SHOUTING in ref titles.
• Ref 47 spaced hyphen should be a spaced en-dash.
  • Fixed both.
• Are ten external links really helpful? Can any of them be integrated into the prose as references?
• Should "designated landmark" really be "Designated Landmark"?
  • I don't know. The NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission site says "NYC Landmarks", but that can be confusing (it can refer to NRHP landmarks, or even the hyperbolic "landmarks" that people use to describe things like Times Square or Penn Station, which are not designated landmarks of any kind). epicgenius (talk) 15:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
• "Lee Stokey. Subway Ceramics" Stokey, Lee. And who published it?
  • I have realized that this author's name is spelled wrong all throughout other subway stations' articles. However, the publisher seems to be the author himself. Would it be better to remove it? epicgenius (talk) 15:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
    • We normally double-check self-published sources for reliability... The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 16:49, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

      The Rambling Man, since it's not even cited in the page, I have removed it. epicgenius (talk) 17:08, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

That's all I have, so I'll put it on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 14:15, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

• @The Rambling Man: Thanks. I think I've tackled all of these. epicgenius (talk) 15:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Okeydokes, I made a couple of minor tweaks but I'm satisfied this easily meets the GA criteria. So passing. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 17:18, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
