Standard copy tweaks and that's about it. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:48, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Copy changes

• "East West" should be East–West to match our article.
• Construction of the station was expected to begin in the first quarter of 2009 with a set completion date of 2013 and would involve the diversion of Rochor Road. put commas after 2009 and 2013 to create an appositive
• The New 7th Storey Hotel was acquired by the government as part of the hotel site was needed to construct the station's facilities, such as lifts and escalators. Add a comma after "government" for ease of reading
• While the hotel staff and patrons were dismayed by the news with some petitioning to the LTA to retain the hotel, the LTA explained that construction works would affect the hotel's structure, and that it could risk collapse due to the soft marine clay Add a comma after "with". Remove comma after "structure" (User:Sammi Brie/Commas in sentences, CinS)
• The DTL station has a depth of 26 m (85 ft), and features a diamond motif reflective of Bugis culture Remove this comma (CinS)
• the interactive works comprise of coloured discs Avoid "comprised of". Try the interactive work consists of coloured discs or the interactive work is composed of coloured discs

Spot checks

• 6: Newspaper article on the cancellation of Victoria Street excavation because of the contractors' proposal. Y
• 19: In more open areas such as the station, cross walls were constructed between the two retaining walls built using the same equipment as the diaphragm walling. Y
• 26: Open house information. Mark as dead. The archive confirms the open house: There was something for everyone at the stage one Downtown Line (DTL1) open house today, 7 December 2013. It was activities and entertainment galore at Bugis, Chinatown, Telok Ayer and Downtown stations. Y
• 33: LTA map showing the walking path to transfer to Bras Basah (#32 is the other station). Y
• 45: Quote checks out...it's actually in [44]. Why is [45] here, frankly? Y

Earwig only catches the quote; no issues.
