I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to see what work needs to be done to improve it. I would like to get the article up to GA and possibly FA class, and also I would like to get some of those tags at the top removed! I would also like to know what sections need to be largened, which to be split, merged, moved etc. I also want opinions on whether or not the fleet list should be added seperately, or within the article.

Many thanks, B G 7even 20:32, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brief comment from Ruhrfisch:

In order to get to GA or far beyond that to FA status, the article needs to expand the lead per WP:LEAD
Also must be better referenced. Right now there are some whole sections that have no refs. My rule of thumb is that every quote, every statistic, every extraordinary claim and every paragraph needs a ref. See WP:CITE and WP:V.
I also think several of the sections are far too short and should be combined with others or possibly expanded.
Finally I think the article would benefit from splitting out the information on the various types of tram cars into a separate article (perhaps a list?) and leaving a summary behind per WP:Summary style. See Talyllyn Railway for a recent FA (good model) that split out its list of stations effectively.

Hope this helps. If you want more comments, please ask here. Please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 20:56, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
