  • - article is new enough, long enough, not a copyvio (short passages similar to source fall under WP:LIMITED). QPQ done. Hook is interesting and is in article. Sourcing is a bit marginal in the sense that the article is extremely reliant on a single source, but it's okay enough for DYK. Hog Farm Talk 04:35, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@John M Wolfson: Almost there. A comparatively small GA, but that's not an impediment; it just needs an alt tag and some comma removals and other cleanup. 7-day hold; ping me when done. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 04:53, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sammi Brie I have done all of what you suggested. In the future please feel free to make minor edits yourself; this applies to my featured content candidacies as well. In any event thank you for the quick and succinct review! – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 00:57, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copy changes

[edit]
  • Add a comma before one block away
  • respectively constructed in 1893 and 1895 change to constructed in 1893 and 1895, respectively
  • Stations were regularly-spaced across the route, and included one on Wood Street Remove hyphen and comma
  • Remove comma after remain standing
  • Change were removed in the late 1950s to "was" to conform with "wooden material" (singular)

Other

[edit]
  • The image is appropriately licensed but needs an alt tag. |alt=Refer to caption suffices here.
  • Earwig mostly catches organization names.
  • References archived.
