Review

Fourth Avenue Line

"As part of negotiations between New York City and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT) and the Interborough Rapid Transit Company" - too many and's. Should say "between New York City, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT), and the Interborough Rapid Transit Compan

• • Done. epicgenius (talk) 18:20, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

IND Culver Line platforms

• Many paragraphs without references
  • Fixed. epicgenius (talk) 18:18, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Service patterns

• Are 4 citations needed for the sentence "Express service between Bergen and Church ended in 1976 due to budgetary concerns and passenger complaints, and the GG (later renamed the G) was again terminated at the Smith–Ninth Streets station."
• Are 3 citations needed for the sentence "The G extension was made permanent in July 2012."
  • Removed both instances of citation overkill. epicgenius (talk) 18:20, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

BMT Fourth Avenue Line platforms

• Bottom paragraph needs references
  • Fixed with the above. epicgenius (talk) 18:18, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

References

• References #5, 11, 12, 26, 27, 28, 47 needs an access-date
• Citation number 8 appears to be from a group blog (A Progressive Blog About Bay Ridge) which I believe violates WP:SPS.
  •  Removed
• Can citation number 10 be clipped? It currently takes the reader to the whole page and one has to search for the information
  •  Done
• Citation 43, 45 seem unneeded
  •  Removed
• I'm not so sure about the Subwaynut references
  • @HickoryOughtShirt?4: Thanks for looking it over. I will pass most of the referencing issues to Kew Gardens 613 for him to look over. Subway Nut is used as an image citation (like in other pages about BMT Fourth Avenue Line stations), and it should be OK for basic facts. Regarding over-citations: that is probably a problem, but it is also an issue on other articles about IND Culver Line stations as well. So I will address these soon. epicgenius (talk) 17:57, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
    • Thanks so much Epicgenius. I'm also going to add that the photo of Northeastern stairs next to the Church of the Holy Family (bottom of the article) is oddly placed and should either be moved or removed. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:15, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
      • HickoryOughtShirt?4, thanks. I have done all of these, except some of the access dates. I was under the assumption that books don't require an access date because the content never changes.epicgenius (talk) 16:34, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
        • Epicgenius I was just following Template:Cite book and saw it was an option but that seems to be full parameters. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:21, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
