I'll take another one of these, it's been loitering since March which is wholly unreasonable given its apparently very good state. Review to follow. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:57, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments (apologies for the delay)

You have a lot of references in the lead. Generally you never mention anything in the lead that isn't expanded upon (and therefore can be cited) later on in the main part of the article. I suggest you do that here as the interjection of refs throughout the lead is quite off-putting.

Image captions which are not complete sentences (fragments) don't take a period.

Where are the vehicles referenced (in the infobox)?
The three bold phrases (e.g. Maspeth−North Beach Line) would normally imply an alternative name which would redirect here, so it's probably worth creating redirects that point at this article from those terms.

Avoid single-sentence paragraphs (e.g. "The Q72 operates out of the LaGuardia Depot...")

"On May 21, 1894 the" comma after 1894.

"but was never implemented." not referenced.

@The Rambling Man: The plan clearly was not implemented as the Q48 was never discontinued. I can't find any articles mentioning the plan not going into effect.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 00:15, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

" Flushing-Ridgewood" en-dash to be consistent with other such instances.

The first two "See also" are already linked from the top of the History section.

Avoid SHOUTING in the refs.

I think Refs 23 and 24 may have typos (NORHT)

Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:07, 11 October 2018 (UTC) That's all for a basic run-through. It generally meets the GA criteria, once you've addressed the comments above, I'll re-visit with a view to pass the article. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:23, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: It looks like Kew Gardens 613 has addressed all of the issues. What is the status of this review? epicgenius (talk) 01:23, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's on hold, pending my re-review. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:10, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've re-reviewed and now consider this to be a pass. Nice work. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:49, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
