  • Lead feels a little brief for me, could you possibly squeeze one or two more sentences in there?
I've dropped a bit more in. Since I've already mentioned the station is relatively infrequently used leading to less coverage in sources, it's probably worth backing that up with some verifiable evidence, which I have now done.
Done that, it's verified in several book sources that that's the original name, so as the saying goes - obvious redirect is obvious.
  • "It is on the Charing Cross branch..." the station, I guess you mean, as the last "subject" would have been the street.
Done, though I didn't want to have two sentences in succession starting "The station" so I've rejigged that a bit
  • "also very close to " can we be objective and say how close?
Good idea. Done
  • " Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway" our article uses "and" rather than ampersand.
Fixed
  • "The station's name changed" any reason why?
I don't know, I'm afraid. The source given (Butt 1995) simply says "renamed Warren Street 7 June 1908" with no other context.
  • "Charles Holden began refurbishing the station" not personally I assume....
Tweaked
  • Are there ridership figures for 2021 available?
I'm not sure they've been published yet. Normally when they are, a flurry of gnoming activity occurs on the articles and my watchlist gets lit up by them. Redrose64 is your best person to talk about this specifically.
  • Would have thought ridership would be good to be included in the prose as well. And service, i.e. tph.
See above. As for TPH, I get the impression that Central London tubes have so many (at least 20) that it's irrelevant as you don't need to plan your journey around one turning up.
  • "Use in Media" -> media.
Changed back to "Cultural references", per several other GAs. I think DavidCane changed this; not sure why though.
  • "movie Death Line, featuring" movie titles are in italics.
Looks like that has been done
  • And in BritEng we call them "films".
Top ho, old chap
  • "The Victoria Line - A Short" en-dash.
Not sure how to do that, I've run User:GregU/dashes.js over the article but nothing happens.

That's it, on hold. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:50, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, all issues addressed, anything else? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:03, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed your en-dash, I think the script avoids the {{cite book}} template so you have to do it by hand. Otherwise, all fine, so promoting. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 08:45, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rabbit Warren

[edit]

Quote from Victoria Line paragraph "Along with other Victoria line stations, the new complex was originally decorated with tiles showing an illustration relating to the station's name – in this case, a rabbit warren." The illustration is maze not a rabbit warren. I'm aware that the usage of 'warren' meaning a maze is derived from rabbit warren and that it is not standard. But the tile is a simplified drawing (more a diagram) of a wall maze. It is not diagram of tunnels. I cannot read the cited reference. OrewaTel (talk) 23:27, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's a transcription error from the source, which says, verbatim, "The one [tiling layout] at Warren street shows a maze - a type of warren, you see." Doesn't mean that it should link to the rabbit variety. Anyway, fixed. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:29, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
