• Any reason why this article bucks the trend of bold linking all of the title in the lead?
  •  Done
• Wouldn't Coliseum/Oakland Airport station be an appropriate redirect?
  •  Done
• Where is street address (in the infobox) referenced?
  •  Done
• "Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum Arena" is piped to a redirect, any reason?
  •  Done
• I don't think you need to keep emboldening the "Coliseum" in every use, it's quite intrusive and not MOS.
  •  Done Unbolded a duplicate.
• "station - two mainline" should be an en-dash rather than a hyphen.
  •  Done
• Lots of overlinking in the three tables (e.g. Coast Starlight, UP, Fruitvale, San Leandro...)
  •  Partly done I've reduced overlinking as much as possible; there's a couple duplicates due to the templates used.
• "side platform" is overlinked.
  •  Done
• "at the station:[23][19]" order refs.
  •  Done
• Refs:
  • NO SHOUTING.
    •  Done
  • Ensure either publication or access date (or both) are there.
    •  Done
  • Retrieval dates need to be consistent formats.
    •  Done
• Check all external links are RS and rep;lace spaced hyphens with spaced en-dashes.
  •  Done

That's all I have for now, it's in good shape. On hold while we go over these. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 14:23, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the review! I believe I've addressed all your concerns above. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:29, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Still missing some info on some refs, e.g. ref 1 has no access date. And some overlinking still there (e.g. line names on the track tables). The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 08:33, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

I've added the access date and reducing one incidence of overlinking. Unfortunately, the line names are probably not fixable within the scope of this GA review - the links are added by the {{rail color box}} template (which in turn uses links generated by {{adjacent stations}}). But that's only three duplicate links total. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:01, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Ok, this is all good now, well now. Promoting. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 07:11, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
