I am submitting this list for FL since I believe it is up to the standards of a FL; it meets all of the criteria and contains many of the same elements as the other featured lists of train stations. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 19:51, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- It serves an average of 1,433,252 passengers each weekday and is both one of the largest rapid transit and light rail systems in the United States by ridership. - "Both" is redundant.
- Maybe it's just me, but the second paragraph of the lead reads more as a list than as prose. There's really nothing you can do about it, though.
- 37 of the stations are within Los Angeles - Numbers that begin a sentence should be spelled out.
- Unless I'm just missing it, the chart itself needs to be sourced.
- Use non-breaking spaces if possible.

- The first, third and fourth points have been fixed. I noticed the same problem with paragraph 2 of the lead and fixed it a little before I put this up for FLC, but ultimately there's nothing I can do about it. For the non-breaking spaces, though, I'm guessing that you're referring to the dates which are split between lines. (If I'm wrong, please tell me where you do want them.) If that's the case, using non-breaking spaces creates large gaps at the end of some lines; if that's okay, I'll use them. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 18:20, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- Thirty-seven of the stations are within Los Angeles - you may want to say here that it is the city of Los Angeles to differentiate from the county.
- I notice that Hawthorne station does not seem to be in the city of Hawthorne but in Inglewood. Now this may be correct but if so then Inglewood is not mentioned in the prose list at the end of the lead.
- The date opened column does not seem to be sorting correctly.
- In the images it might be nice to wikilink the station names.
- There seem to be slightly too many images and so for me the last one extends into Notes and References sections making them look slightly untidy.

Support - excellent list, through references need to have access dates—Chris! ct 01:00, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I added the access date for the one reference where it was missing. The newspaper access dates aren't being displayed for some reason, though the dates are in the templates. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:47, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I understand it's going to be worse with individual citing. The best solution could have been to find a better source that had most of the info, but it's always hard to find perfect references.--Crzycheetah 00:41, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments - very nice, two very minor issues.
- "7th St/Metro Center" and "Westlake / MacArthur Park" inconsistent spacings round the slash.
- Fixed. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:11, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I imagine ref 5 should have an en-dash in the title, rather than the hyphen. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support - The only thing I would say is that the map may confuse readers whether the Orange and Silver Lines are part of Metro. I suggest you or another user make the same exact image, but without those two lines. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 09:44, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately, I didn't make the map and don't have much experience with graphics, and the image's creator has been inactive for a month, so this may have to stay as it is. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 20:19, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I will provide a review later today when I get home from work. Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 11:59, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
