Hi, I'm MrWooHoo. I'd like to quickly explain how I'll be reviewing this article. I will do a general review (checking the criteria), then doing an in-depth prose and source review. Thanks! MrWooHoo (T • C) 14:25, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Earwig shows that this article is 47% of the same content as the WP article. Please fix any copyright violations ASAP or correct me if I'm wrong.

Many of the items picked up in the link provided are proper names/titles (Ontario Minister of Transportation and Communications, Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area), names in combination with years ("in the 1970s and 1980s") or items with limited variability for description ("the introduction of the Georgetown...line in 1974, and the Richmond Hill line in 1978"; "concourse at Union Station was built"). I made a couple changes, but otherwise do not see copyvio concerns given what I have described. --Natural R_X 17:26, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

General Review

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	See prose review below.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	See prose review below.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Nothing that's uncited.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	See source review below.
	2c. it contains no original research.	Everything is cited.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	Coverage seems good for a GA article.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	Focus is on point.
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	No obvious biases.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	No consistent vandalism found in logs.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	Copyright statuses all seem right, however I have a question about the Go Logo picture. The rationale for fair use is that it doesn't cross the threshold of originality, however I feel like GO may have trademarked this logo. If not, you can probably keep the current fair use rationale, but otherwise I would suggest Template:Non-free use rationale 2 and Template:Non-free logo.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Captions and images are good.
	7. Overall assessment.	See above comment and below prose/source reviews.

Prose Review

Note: If you have changed the sentence that needed to be corrected, press Enter and start off the line with ::, then use Y or  Done If the change was only partially done use Y, and N or  Not done if the change could not occur. (If you would explain why, I would be greatly appreciated :P) To see code, go to edit source and copy the code.

• "Improvements include new roof and glass atrium" - Add "a" before new.

 Done

• "covering the tracks platforms" - tracks', not track's

Y "tracks" was removed entirely, sentence was changed to now read: "Improvements include a new roof and glass atrium covering the platforms and railway tracks, [listing other improvements]..."

• "They include amenities such as elevators, washrooms, parking, pay phones, ticket vending machines, ticket sale kiosks and automated teller machines. " - Make sure throughout the article that you either always use the serial comma (the comma before and), or just don't use it.

 Done

• "Fares on the network are based a zone tariff set " - Add on before "a".

 Done

• "The Presto system allows passengers to load a re-loadable card " - Remove the hyphen.

 Done

Source Review

• Reference 65 is dead, so I would fix it for preparation for FA.

Nominator's comment on logo concerns by the reviewer

File:GO_Transit_logo.svg is indeed a trademarked logo. However, I think it has been tagged appropriately and is still eligible for use on Commons. I still believe the threshold of originality rationale has not been met by this logo. Furthermore, {{trademark}} has also been added to the page, alerting users that despite not having copyright status, it may be subject to other restrictions. I believe this is in line with other logos and guidance on the Commons. --Natural R_X 15:34, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
