Barnum (Metro-North station)
[edit]- ... that a railroad station named after showman P.T. Barnum is planned to be built in Bridgeport, Connecticut?
- Reviewed: Scotch Run (Catawissa Creek)
Created by Pi.1415926535 (talk). Self-nominated at 15:42, 4 August 2015 (UTC).
Article was created two days ago and has about 2.2K prose. A quick search for copyvios found no hits. The hook is cited to the Connecticut Department of Transport and verifies what it said. The only minor issue is that information in the lead should summarise what's in the body, and it would be nice to say why Barnum's name was chosen for the station.

- Better explanation of the station name (it's also on Barnum Avenue) and a summary of the history have been added to the lede. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:18, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
That wasn't quite what I was getting at, but I've made the required changes to the article and can now pass this. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:22, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
