Station location within former municipality
[edit]Someone has hit several articles indicating that the majority of the stations of the Danforth Ave. Stations were in both East York and Toronto (Former City). Please consult a map of the old city boundries before editing such content. the dividing line as indicated on several maps (such as this one: [1]) is clearly North of Danforth. This therefore means the station was ONLY located in the former city of Toronto. Eja2k (talk) 06:21, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit]- "In keeping with the subway line's theme the trim tiles compliment Lansdowne station while the main tiles compliment Dufferin station", rather then just saying that the tiles used are similar to Lansdowne and Dufferin station, include the actually tile colours/design. The sentence can be something like this: "In keeping with the subway line's theme, the trim tiles are blue in compliment to Lansdowne station." The reason why I left the Dufferin part out is because according to the reference provided, Dufferin and Chester have to different main colour tiles. What what it looks like, Woodbine has the same main tile colour as Chester.
- Clarified to show that these are the compliment stations on the opposite (western) half of the subway line. Tarret talk 20:37, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
- "...is one of the least used subway stations in Toronto", ref 7 does not support this.
- Relocated reference to apply to "not connected to a regular bus or streetcar route". Secondarywaltz (talk) 15:18, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
- In the infobox, the total ridership of 2009-10 should have a reference.
- Lack of a reference is system wide so please leave this to me and I will fix it for every TTC station within the next 24 hours. Secondarywaltz (talk) 15:18, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
- Ridership is now referenced for all of the TTC subway stations. Secondarywaltz (talk) 17:56, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

GA Reassessment
[edit]- Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch • • GAN review not found
- Result: Delisted: no improvements, more than a month since deficiencies in the GA criteria were identified. Please improve this article and bring back to GAN! (t · c) buidhe 18:31, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
I am bringing this article to GAR because:
- The Communities served section is full of OR which has existed since the article became a GA. (2b)
- There is a lack of lead coverage of parts of the article. (1b)
- Another user mentioned that the article lacks clarity or assumes a local knowledge in some parts. (1a)
This is my first GAR, so I apologize if I made any mistakes here. There may also be some problems I have not mentioned (I think the Facilities section may have an unnecessary detail (3b) problem, but I'm not sure). Username6892 01:18, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
Comments from Kingsif
[edit]I'll add comments when I see things. Something to consider is that this is a short article, and how does it compare to similar ones. Not every station in North America is going to have or warrant the level of coverage of Grand Central Terminal, but it's currently comparable size-wise with the English Moncloa (Madrid Metro) article, something you'd expect to have far less. Without being an expert, I would do some research on the Chester station myself to see if the level of coverage reflected media coverage (and will do if nobody beats me to it!)

Comments from Epicgenius
[edit]Here are some things I noticed.
- The lead is too short. (criterion 1B)
- The lead is also disorganized. For instance, the fact that WiFi is available here comes before the fact that this station has one exit. (3A)
- The "facilities" section probably needs to be more detailed, e.g. describe how many tracks and platforms are in the station. That's pretty important info, yet the only mention of this is in the infobox, where it is not sourced. (3A)
- And the description of the tiles may be too detailed. (3B)
- It's optional, but I think the exits may be combined under one header.
- The "communities served" section is not really detailed. As an outsider I wouldn't know where these communities are. Some context may be needed for this. (3A)
This is the only station in Toronto with no TTC bus service during the day.
- This seems to be trivia, particularly the first part. epicgenius (talk) 02:46, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
