Fair use rationale for Image:NS logo.jpg

Image:NS logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Lead is a little brief. Doing... Apparently someone has removed a part of the lead into the history, which caused the repated point (The idea of linking...), so I moved it back to the lead.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:09, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Done
Where is street address referenced? Done
Where is operated by SMRT referenced? Done
Indeed, there seems to be no explanation as to what SMRT means?

SMRT means 'Singapore Mass Rapid Transit' corporation, though it isn't stated explicitly elsewhere especially on its website. It seems the actual meaning has dropped out over time.--ZKang123 (talk) 03:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I would just link it in the prose then. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 08:52, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done 1.02 editor (T/C) 09:38, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway, is it necesary to add what it stands for? Possibly as a hatnote?-ZKang123 (talk) 08:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"an East-West direction" no need to capitalise E/W. Fixed
" Initially, after the station was first opened," no need for "initially". Fixed
"first opened" date? Fixed
Non-breaking space between time and am/pm. Fixed
"Sundays instead," no need for instead. Fixed
In both cases. Fixed
"from 7 – 9 mins" either "7 to 9 minutes" or "7–9 minutes". Fixed
What is TEL and when, roughly (or even exactly) is "the future"? Done
You relink East West line after linking it in the lead but not the airport? Be consistent. Fixed
" This has proven effective given the short 20 kilometre distance" This was effective... and convert 20km to miles. Fixed
"Public buses instead link commuters" link or linked? Fixed
" it has provided a new transport option for the airport, benefitting both Singaporeans and tourists." sounds like a tourist brochure. Done
" the Mass Rapid Transit system" MRT. Done
" East West line at Tanah Merah," both overilnked. Done
"The idea of extending the Mass Rapid Transit system to Changi Airport..." hang on, didn't you say that in the previous para? Done, moved to lead.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:09, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You link Terminal 3 after Terminal 2, but you'd already mentioned Terminal 3 above without linking it there... Fixed
" which requires" which would require? Fixed
"closing monitoring is needed" was? Check the tenses here, it feels like a lot of it is written as if it's still ongoing. Fixed
"station have actually put " station has put Fixed
"By then, there are about..."? what? Fixed
"Land Transport Authority announced an extension of the Thomson–East Coast line" both overlinked. Fixed
"Thomson–East Coast line (TEL)" tell me what TEL means before you use it. Fixed
"Station details and design" avoid sandwiching text between images. And also they both spill over into the refs section which compresses the references into two columns rather than four. Done
"approximately 60m long by 20m wide by 36m high each" convert. Done

That's all I have on a rapid first pass. On hold. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:17, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ZKang123 let me know when you've completed every point. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 08:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think every point has been covered. You can do a check.--ZKang123 (talk) 08:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: I have addressed your final point on SMRT 1.02 editor (T/C) 09:43, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, I'm content with the changes, made a few minor tweaks, so I'm now promoting. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 10:26, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
