A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on January 24, 2017.

The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the walls of the Woodhaven Boulevard subway station in New York City still prominently display the name of a plaza that was demolished in the 1950s?

Slattery Plaza

Could there be room in the write-up for the origins of the name "Slattery Plaza"? From what I hear, the name is long out-of-date, but it could provide an interesting history of the neighborhood. DavidRF 17:03, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Go for it. --NE2 19:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
The lead section does not suinclude a summary of the station's history section.
Done. epicgenius (talk) 15:31, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Is it verifiable with no original research?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:
Some paragraphs in the history and layout sections have too many inline sources (the general rule-of-thumb is three at most) that need to be either spread out to other sentences or removed.
I've dispersed the sources. Most sentences now have up to four sources, which should be bundled shortly. epicgenius (talk) 15:31, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

C. It contains no original research:
The list of bus routes is completely unreferenced and the operator column in particular seems OR-ish, if not unnecessarily detailed.
I've added references. epicgenius (talk) 02:46, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:

B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
I'm not sure that we need two bus pictures, as it makes the section too small on lower resolution displays. A picture of an in-use station entrance would be nice as well, but is not necessary for this review.
Removed the Q29 one. epicgenius (talk) 02:46, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is already an image of a station entrance. (Two of the other three are also in the middle of nowhere.) epicgenius (talk) 15:31, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
A few nitpicks and this one is good to go. Sounder Bruce 02:10, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@SounderBruce: Thanks for the comprehensive review. I will fix these issues over the next few days. epicgenius (talk) 02:46, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@SounderBruce: All the issues are fixed now. epicgenius (talk) 15:16, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: Thanks for fixing those issues. I will pass this nomination. Sounder Bruce 03:56, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
