Hi, I'll be taking this review. 1.02 editor (C651 set 217/218) 01:53, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

review[edit]

is there any passenger numbers for this station?
- There's only vague numbers from old newspaper articles. Data from the bus agency only breaks it down by route, not station/stop.
Also please include the route map of the DSTT in the infobox.
- Why would this be necessary? For the most part, other station articles don't include route maps.
"Convention place is a bus station in the dstt". I'm pretty sure the photo shows the station in open air. Could you clarify?
- It's one of the portals of the tunnel; added some clarification in the Station layout section.
  - then maybe change the in to a on
    - @1.02 editor: That wouldn't make grammatical sense ("in the tunnel" vs. "on the tunnel"). I switched around the phrasing to remove instances of "in the tunnel", so it should be clearer now. Sounder Bruce 01:17, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"In 1984, a site one block south of the station..." is the station mentioned the current station or the planned one.
- Fixed.
"excavation of the... and was temporarily backfilled during the Christmas shopping season" Why?
- Added the main reason (automobile access)
"construction of the exit ramp to olive way and electrical substation..." could you fix the sentence?
- Fixed.
could you do away with the station layout diagram as per WP:NOTGUIDE?
- Station layout diagrams are pretty standard across station articles, including those that passed FAC and GAN. I don't think it violates NOTGUIDE any more than a list of cities in a state or a list of sculptures in a museum would.
  - see this
    - I don't see how a short discussion for a local project would justify removing the table here. It should be discussed at WT:TRAINS or another venue with a global audience (or at least at the national level, e.g. WP:USSTATION) to establish standards. Sounder Bruce 01:17, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      - In this case it can be kept, but should be removed once I get consensus for it to be removed.
art and architecture-> could you only focus on architecture in the station and not the surrounding?
- The plaza is part of the station.
Light and power poles......written by Seattle high school students. Please town down as it is starting to sound promotional.
- The first part is a simple description and the second part is a valid credit. I don't see how these are un-encyclopedic or can be considered straight advertising.

hold[edit]

Sorry for the delay in the review as I had some last minute stuff to do. I have identified some issues in the article, and you'll have 7 days to fix them.1.02 editor (C651 set 217/218) 00:16, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@1.02 editor: Fixed some of the points you raised. I left notes where I disagreed, given my prior experience with station FAs/GAs. Sounder Bruce 00:41, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@1.02 editor: What's the status of this review? Sounder Bruce 01:06, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay, passing. Would edit talk page when I get to a com. 1.02 editor (C651 set 217/218) 02:38, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
