Requested Move?

I think perhaps changing this to simply Everett Station might be a wise idea, especially since that page redirects here anyway. A quick search reveals no other stations that I can find called this...The Artak 08:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for moving the article.The Artak 04:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pass or Fail:
I will give the editor(s) time to add inline citation for the sentence mentioned above. I also recommend the rearrangement of the sections and adding subsection to make it not to look too long. Grammatical errors can also be fixed. Adding a bibliography section is also recommended. Time given: until March 22
I've added the requested citation, which mentions the frequency of mudslides and closures on the line. Unfortunately, it seems that every other citation to The Seattle Times is broken, as their recent website remodel did not include redirecting existing links. I've also added subsections to the Station layout section to divide up the rather large wall of text, but the other sections don't seem to need any rearranging. A bibliography is not necessary, as it is completely optional under the Manual of Style and there are no published works on Everett Station to populate it.

Appreciated those edits. For what I have viewed of London Tube Stations' article, they usually place the History section first, followed by station layout and services. Additionally station location is placed on top of the History section. I would recommend you to arrange it in this way and split up the awards subsection into another section but it's optional due to the short length of that subsection. I would also recommend you to add a citation about accessibility if possible (the station is wheelchair accessible) since London tube stations that are step-free have a citation itself. I accept the fact that The Seattle Times' citations are broken and also about not adding a bibliography section. :)I also recommend to divide the services section to two subsections: Train services and bus services or other names of your choice and also for the History section as well if possible. :) Good luck improving the article further as I can see it has a potential to become a featured article. :) Vincent60030 (talk) 09:22, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As this is not a London Tube or rapid transit station, I used existing Amtrak and intercity train station GAs as a model for the arrangement of sections. Wheelchair accessibility is a given for these newer stations, so it isn't necessary to cite them anywhere but the system/line article. Sounder Bruce 20:47, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictory information: side or island platform?

In the opening paragraph, we read: "It [the station] consists of two side platforms, one serving Amtrak and the other serving Sounder commuter trains."

Yet the infobox reads: "Platforms 1 side platform, 1 island platform"

Which is correct? 69.42.17.116 (talk) 06:39, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It would be the former, but the arrangement is a bit strange. There's the Sounder platform to the west, a single track (for Sounder), then a platform for Amtrak that is not able to board Sounder trains but instead faces out towards the other tracks. Sounder Bruce 06:44, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way that information can be concisely incorporated into either the text or the infobox (or both)? 69.42.17.116 (talk) 06:50, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's already been corrected. Sounder Bruce 16:27, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
