new mainstation

Hello, i also think, this is a good article, although, i would mention the new mainstation in berlin, because it changed the situation of the stadtbahn significantly since it opened last year. i could do that as well, but i havent done much writing before, so i better ask first, to not destroy the article.

Merger of different articles?

Is there a need to have an article for Berlin_Stadtbahn and for Berlin_S-Bahn? Isn't this the same system? I really feel that these articles should be merged or redirected to each other.

The Berlin S-Bahn article is about the rapid transit system in Berlin as a whole, whereas this article only talks about the route between Ostkreuz and Westkreuz. Also, please sign your questions or comments (--~~~~). --Captndelta (talk) 04:30, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

To be more precisely, "Berlin Stadtbahn" is the name of the railway between Ost- and Westkreuz consisting of two tracks for the "Berlin S-Bahn" and another two tracks for the regular transportation trains. axp_de^Hello! 07:10, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

This article is being reviewed as part of the WikiProject Good Articles. We're doing Sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. This article was awarded GA-status back in 2007, so I will be assessing the article to ensure that it is still compliant.Pyrotec (talk) 18:05, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   The article, possibly, contains sufficient in-line catations to meet WP:Verify, but more are needed. Especially in Operation and extensions , but other sections are also in need of improvements.

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

I'm recommending a "keep" decision, but this article could do with more in-line citations, particulary in Operation and extensions. Pyrotec (talk) 16:49, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Sections

• Sections Post-War situation, Restoration during the Cold War, After reunification, Modernisation from 1994 somewhat lack in-line citations to meet WP:Verify, (as previously noted). However, these sections summarise the recent history and reunification between West Germany and the GDR and may be taken as read, and sufficient, for the purposes of this reassessment. Maintenace tag dropped.
• There may be consideration of the following, taken from Berlin–Hamburg Railway:

It is currently planned for S-Bahn services to be extended from Berlin-Spandau at least as far as Falkensee, including the restoration of S-Bahn services to Albrechtshof; Regionalbahn services would be closed.

References

• Reference 4 is a permanent dead link according to the Internet Archive Bot (IABot).
• Remaining references are noted satisfactory.

Result: Delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:48, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

This 2007 listing contains significant uncited material, which means the article does not meet GA criterion 2b) and requires significant work to keep its GA status. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 02:00, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

• Delist barring substantial improvement - this is a long way away from a GA and I am surprised it was kept at an individual GAR in 2022. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 15:36, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Delist unless it's fixed. GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 16:51, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
