Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
It contains copyright infringements -
It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Lede

New York City is a bit big for the link Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:11, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is the ZIP code really lede worthy? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:11, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The citations seem like things that could be in prose. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:11, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Done
245/Ladder 161/Battalion 43 and Engine 318/Ladder 166. - feels a bit in depth for the lede. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:13, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I condensed it. In other articles about NYC neighborhoods, there is typically only one firehouse, so in these articles it is mentioned in the lead. epicgenius (talk) 21:47, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Brooklyn, Flatbush, and Coney Island Railway - is this the full name of the railway? Seems like a weird link. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:24, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, this was the full name of the railroad. There are several unusual names like that. However, I've unlinked it because it's a redirect to another page that's linked in the same sentence. epicgenius (talk) 21:47, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
four inversions.[199][200][201][202] - CITEKILL Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:24, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

reported 0 murders - no murders Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:24, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I updated the stats, because the area actually reported some murders last year. epicgenius (talk) 21:47, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The primary hospital in the neighborhood is Coney Island Hospital.[259]:6 - could this be added to any other paras? It's odd on its own. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:24, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I combined this with the previous paragraph. epicgenius (talk) 21:47, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
