Comments

"underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Thomson–East Coast line (TEL)." where in the world?
"construction of ... construction" repetitive.
"TSL would merge with the ERL to form the TEL." normally need to give the full titles once again, the first time after the lead.
"consists of 6 stations " six.
"Noise barriers were installed to minimise noise pollution," just "Barriers were..." to avoid repeating "noise"
"Reducing carbon emissions," In order to reduce carbon emissions during construction... (or does it continue to reduce carbon emissions now?)
"11188" bit too precise and probably needs a comma after the first 11.
"at Caldecott station on 30 " overlinked.
LTA sources, are they "LTA" or "lta.gov.sg"?

That's it. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 21:08, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~... that Singapore's Upper Thomson MRT station is decorated with 88 long-tailed macaques? Source: [1]~~

Reviewed: Ontario Highway 29

Improved to Good Article status by ZKang123 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:20, 13 October 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Nominated within seven days after passing GA, sourced, neutral and without copyright issues. QPQ done. The hook is short and interesting, but possibly inaccurate. The sources say "88 animals - long-tailed macaques and a dog" and "88 artworks of animals - primarily long-tailed macaques", so it seems there are fewer than 88 macaques. Could this be clarified or reworded? I also added a link to crab-eating macaque; feel free to remove it if it's wrong or you don't like it. Ffranc (talk) 13:53, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm then what about:

ALT1:... that Singapore's Upper Thomson MRT station is decorated with 88 animal figures, most of which are long-tailed macaques? another source
