Hi, I will be taking this review and that of 86 street station. Expect comments soon. 1.02 editor (T/C) 10:47, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Article is fairly short, but mostly fine. The article is suitably illustrated and does not have any copyright infringement. There are some issues that need to be fixed.

There should be some mention on the history of the station in the lead.

Passenger statistics need to be updated
- 2018 is the latest stats available. The MTA usually makes the previous year's statistics available at the middle of the next year, i.e. June 2020 for the 2019 stats. epicgenius (talk) 01:43, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also, is 'peak direction' a thing? I have never heard of it before.
- Yes. Passengers per hour per direction is higher in the peak direction during rush hours than in the off-peak direction. For instance, there are more riders in the morning toward Manhattan, and more riders in the afternoon away from Manhattan. @Kew Gardens 613: I think some anti-peak W trains stop here, too. epicgenius (talk) 01:43, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ah ok, Thanks for the explanation. 1.02 editor (T/C) 01:55, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Details on construction should be included in the History section
- Now added by Kew Gardens 613. epicgenius (talk) 19:38, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The start of the paragraph on the second renovation mentions southbound platform, but the end mentions 'brooklyn bound' and 'manhattan bound', please standardize.

Reliability of source

Epicgenius I have questions about the reliability of the website subwaynut.com, it is clearly stated in the website that it is a blog and quoting the website 'This is a hobby website. as per WP:SPS, "if the information in question is suitable for inclusion, someone else will probably have published it in independent reliable sources". Furthermore, some of the images cited cant be used as a reference for the statement, as in the case of ref 37 which dosent show a change in celing height to establish that it is lower than normal. Sorry if it seems like i'm nitpicking, but it would be better if the statements could be sourced by a more reliable source, same goes for other blog refrences. 1.02 editor (T/C) 04:29, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1.02 editor, no problem. Image sources may be used to cite obvious facts (like there is tiling on the platform), but for things like ceiling height, we do need another source. epicgenius (talk) 01:47, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hold

I will be putting this on hold for now until the issues are resolved. Will do a second round afterwards. Thanks 1.02 editor (T/C) 09:11, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@1.02 editor: Thanks for taking this up. I should be able to address some of the issues today. Stay safe.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 12:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@1.02 editor: Due to the Jewish holiday of Passover and the Sabbath on Saturday, I won't be editing from tonight until Saturday night at the earliest. I wanted to let you know to make sure that you know that I am still committed to addressing the aforementioned issues.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 21:50, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@1.02 editor: I think all of the issues mentioned so far have been addressed. Also, due to Passover, I won't be able to do any editing from tonight until Thursday evening at the earliest. I am still committed to addressing your concerns with the article. Thanks for your patience and stay safe. @Epicgenius: Thanks so much for helping out!--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 23:08, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kew Gardens 613, no problem. @1.02 editor: Can I ask that you defer making the decision about whether to promote all the 4th Avenue Line pages until Thursday at the earliest? I would like to nominate these all as part of a single DYK. epicgenius (talk) 23:10, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: do you plan on nominating 59 and 25 street station also? They are currently unreviewed and i can try to review them if needed. 1.02 editor (T/C) 04:35, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1.02 editor, yes, I think so. I'd ideally want to nominate Prospect Avenue and 45th Street as well. epicgenius (talk) 13:25, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius and Kew Gardens 613: the reviews has been going on for quite a while already, how about i pass the 5 articles that i have reviewed first and the remainder at a later date? edit the issues on 77st and Bay Ridge ave articles have not been addressed yet so i cant pass those 2 articles. 1.02 editor (T/C) 13:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1.02 editor, I think you can pass Union Street, 86th Street, and 95th Street if you think these are good. epicgenius (talk) 16:31, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@1.02 editor: I agree. @Epicgenius: thanks for your help. Passover is done, so I should have more time. I was spending today to catch up with the virtual classes and work I would have done over the last couple of days.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:11, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I will pass the first three articles. 1.02 editor (T/C) 00:12, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies but the issues on 86th street article hasnt been fully addressed yet. Pls fix it up first then i can pass it. 1.02 editor (T/C) 00:37, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
