  • "Caltrain is a commuter rail transit system serving the San Francisco Peninsula and the Santa Clara Valley in the U.S. state of California." "serving"-->that serves.
  • "The system serves over 36,993 passengers a day as of fiscal year 2008." as of the fiscal year 2008.
  • "(known as Peninsula Commute)"-->(known as the Peninsula Commute)
  • Link Double track.
  • "36,993 passengers" "7.5 million passengers" "$220 million" need non-breaking spaces.
  • "Under Southern Pacific's ownership, the line was double tracked in 1904 and experienced record ridership in 1958, with 7.5 million passengers annually." Split this sentence up.
  • "which Peninsula Commute"-->which the Peninsula Commute
  • Right-of-way needs disambiguation.
  • "Stanford Stadium is a game day-only station" Which sport?
  • "while both Atherton and Broadway are served only on weekend." "while"-->and, pluralize weekends.
  • "Tamien is served by train on weekday and served by shuttle bus on weekend." Pluralize weekday and weekend.
  • "12 stations" Spell out 12, it is at the start of a sentence. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:05, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done all—Chris! ct 04:53, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • So Stanford Stadium is a stadium? and a station? doesn't say on the article.
It is a station, but since the article doesn't exist, I just link it to the stadium.—Chris! ct 20:05, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Then make one to get my support. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 23:53, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the article exists. I just misread it when I search for it. Now done.—Chris! ct 07:03, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Align the tables.
What do you mean?—Chris! ct 20:05, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The section, "Station"'s table is bigger than the one in "Closed stations". -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 23:52, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That is because the "station" table has more info than the "closed stations" table. I don't see how this is a problem.—Chris! ct 03:18, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
C6. Visual appeal. In short, it'll looks better. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 06:43, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But I cannot add more info. The best I could do is increase the width of each column.—Chris! ct 18:55, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Increased width. If you are still not satisfied, then I am afraid that your comment is not actionable.—Chris! ct 19:10, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I'm satisfied. At least it looks better. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 23:52, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • comments. Can you link or define ridership. I had to look it up - i don't think they would use this word in the UK.
Wikilink—Chris! ct 20:18, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How feasible would it be to list which trains stop at each station? Or is it the same for all of them? Or to merge the paragraph about the regularity of service into a "service" or "notes" column. The table seems slightly underused in terms of the info it could convey.Yobmod (talk) 09:29, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I add a column—Chris! ct 20:18, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved review by SRX [TRUco]

Comments-

  • However, the popularity of the railroad began to decline soon afterward and in 1977 Southern Pacific petitioned to the state government to discontinue Peninsula Commute. - comma before "and in"
Done—Chris! ct 20:18, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Stanford Stadium is a football-game-day-only station, and both Atherton and Broadway are served only on weekends. - like it was said above, this needs better elaboration to state that it is both a station and stadium.--TRUCO 13:55, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is a station, but since the article doesn't exist, I just link it to the stadium.—Chris! ct 20:05, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - my review was resolved to meet WP:WIAFL.--TRUCO 22:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • support. Could find nothing that needed to be changed, so i think this list meets al the criteria of a FL.Dillypickle (talk) 15:51, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
