  • Lead's a little skimpy. Anyway this could be expanded a couple sentences?
    •   Done
  • Wikilink Ozone Park, Queens
  • " two sections to George H. Flynn Corporation " --> " ... to the George H. Flynn Corporation" maybe?
    •   Done
  • "and the remaining stations to Euclid Avenue as unfinished shells" - Something doesn't feel right in this grammatically, but I'm not sure what
    •   Doing...
      • The change from as to were fixes it.

  • Citation needed for the division in the infobox
    • Well, it mentions in the prose (with a source) that the line was an IND line. Per WP:INFOBOXCITE, the cite in the infobox wouldn't really be needed in that case. epicgenius (talk) 23:19, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • "The line would extend from the then-under construction Broadway–East New York station along Pennsylvania Avenue, Pitkin Avenue, Linden Boulevard and Eastern Parkway to 106th Street in Ozone Park, Queens" - Ozone Park isn't mentioned in the source
    • "Queens" is, but it would require a whole footnote to explain that this specific street would be within Ozone Park. So I removed Ozone Park. epicgenius (talk) 23:19, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Do the images cited for the signs really support that the signs are specifically "cornflower blue"? Color can be hard to determine to the exact shade from pictures, especially since the perception of a shade varies with lighting.
  • ""LIBERTY AVE" in black on white porcelain" - It's not obvious that it's porcelain just with the image as the citation.
    •   Removed both.
  • Some of the details from the station map aren't cited in the text, and the map isn't cited either. My gut instinct tells me that even with the diagram, there still needs to be citations for such details as the A line going to Far Rockaway, at least in the supporting text somewhere.
    • Good point. We have a subway system map, night map, and individual subway line maps to cite the service guides; the citations for the A and C trains are in the individual subway line timetables, which are in the article already. It might be harder to put citations in the tables themselves (hence it has not been done for other articles), but the timetables do provide the sources for destinations of trains. epicgenius (talk) 23:19, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
      • Okay, works for me.
  • Not all of the citations from newspapers.com have a via parameter, this is needed for those.
    •   Done

Placing on hold for now. Once these get addressed I'll give it another run through. Hog Farm (talk) 20:50, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • @Hog Farm: Thanks for taking this up. Kew Gardens 613 is offline till Saturday as he is celebrating Passover and Shabbat. I'll address some of these comments. epicgenius (talk) 23:19, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
    • Didn't catch anything else on the second run-through. "Ultramarine" has a fairly standardized definition, which is supported by the colors in the images, so no issues with that. The picture citing no advertisements appears to be of the entire terminal, so that ought to work, too. Promoting. Hog Farm (talk) 00:41, 11 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
