I will be taking the chance to review this article. In exchange, I highly encourage you to review Damen station (CTA Blue Line) for GA when it's ready, which will be in about a week or so. Thanks! – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Criteria:

Well-written: ✓ Pass No issues here. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Verifiable/no OR: ✓ Pass Sources look good, every paragraph is sourced. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Broad: ? This seems pretty short, even given the brevity of the station's existence. What even is the Thomson line, and could you give a little more background on it and its contracts? – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral: ✓ Pass Seems decent enough. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Stable: ✓ Pass I see no signs of edit-warring. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Illustrated: ✓ Pass Looks good to me. Don't forget the alt text if/when you take this to FAC. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! Hmm, the LTA isn't really willing to share much information on the background of the TSL. Nothing much on how and why Maxwell is chosen or built. And also nothing on construction challenges. Our transport agency is really brief on such information.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:30, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's fair, whatever brief history you can muster with the Thomson line is fine from a "public-facing" view (newspapers, etc.); no need for internal politics or detailed planning. (Also, I must say that MRT stations look nice and bright, almost like office buildings' lobbies and elevators rather than the train stations of Chicago/New York/London/etc.) – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 04:16, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any further comments @John M Wolfson? ZKang123 (talk) 07:06, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done from me, thank you! – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 00:43, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
