I added the start and end locations and removed other parameters. AHeneen (talk) 07:30, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

Please like "France" to its respective article
Rest is great! :)

"France" was linked when I created this article, the link was removed by another editor. I re-added the links. AHeneen (talk) 07:30, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Background

Paragraph 1

"The Saverne Tunnel was constructed as part of the second phase of the LGV Est européenne (often shortened to LGV Est)." --> No source
"When completed, the line will connect Paris and Strasbourg—the principal city of the Alsace region and home to several European institutions, including the Council of Europe." --> No source
"The first phase across 300 kilometres (190 mi) of relatively flat land from Vaires-sur-Marne (near Paris) to Baudrecourt (near Metz and Nancy) opened in 2007." --> No source

I added sources. AHeneen (talk) 07:30, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 2

All good!

Construction

Paragraph 1

Shouldn't the second appearance of "Lot 47" be italicized?
And in all cases, since its first appearance is italicized?
"The Saverne Tunnel was built by Spie Batignolles and Dodin Campenon-Bernard.[4][6] According to RFF, the total cost of the tunnel was approximately €200 million.[5]" --> "The Saverne Tunnel was built by Spie Batignolles and Dodin Campenon-Bernard,[4][6] and according to RFF, costed approximately €200 million.[5]"

I removed the italics, because it is not a name that should be italicized per MOS:ITALICS. I changed the sentences to "The Saverne Tunnel was built by Spie Batignolles and Dodin Campenon-Bernard,[4][6] at a cost of approximately €200 million.[5]" AHeneen (talk) 07:30, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 2

Please insert a comma in between "(TBM)" and "manufactured by..."

Done. AHeneen (talk) 07:30, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 4

"but has been delayed until 3 July 2016 due to an a fatal accident elsewhere on the new line during testing of the LGV Est.[1]" --> "but has been delayed until 3 July 2016 due to a fatal accident elsewhere on the new line during testing of the LGV Est.[1]"

It is now "Service on the LGV Est line was originally scheduled to begin on 3 April 2016;[19] however, a fatal accident that occurred elsewhere on the new line in November 2015 during commissioning tests has delayed the scheduled opening of the line until 3 July 2016.[2]" AHeneen (talk) 07:30, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Characteristics

Paragraph 1

"It is located within three communes—Eckartswiller, Saint-Jean-Saverne, Ernolsheim-lès-Saverne—of the department of Bas-Rhin and is close to the border with the department of Moselle.[18]" --> "It is located within three communes of the department of Bas-Rhin: Eckartswiller, Saint-Jean-Saverne, Ernolsheim-lès-Saverne; it's also close to the border with the department of Moselle.[18]"
Rest is great! Fantastic work!

It is now: "It is located close to the border with the department of Moselle and within three communes of the department of Bas-Rhin: Eckartswiller, Saint-Jean-Saverne, Ernolsheim-lès-Saverne." AHeneen (talk) 07:30, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
