  • I have attempted to check the references. I find I am unable to check the book, one of the others comes up as Nicht Gefunden. I am not sure how Kamppi's 31 meter depth relates to the longest escalators. Are we looking at Deepest overall with escalator access, Deepest single escalator, longest escalator? I think more precision is needed. It has potential, but the hook and the citations need to be absolutely on the money. Fiddle Faddle 14:28, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
@Timtrent: Well, as said on the text, it is a website and I mentioned it as "escalators", not a single one. I have also changed the Prague Metro reference to a correct one already, and is in English! :) Vincent60030 (talk) 10:14, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
I considered the plural to encompass one down and one up, a pair. No matter. Since it is a set of escalators that is also fine. I tend towards asking for that level of precision on the hook, but I am by no means the final arbiter of this DYK. More expert eyes than mine will need to approve it.

@Timtrent: Can you please try to find some experts to review this? Thanks. ;) Vincent60030 (talk) 16:36, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
Trust the process. I am by no means expert in it. I've offered only 2 DYKs before and am as unsure as you of how to proceed. Fiddle Faddle 16:41, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
  • New reviewer needed to give this a complete review. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:32, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Various subsections have been used under Notes and references which is really not usual standard. I can be convinced otherwise if Vincent60030 suggests that why they adopted this style. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 14:22, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Can we please have an actual complete review here that mentions the usual DYK criteria? Formatting of the notes and references section is not a DYK criterion, and should not affect the review. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:52, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset: Apart from the question that I had asked above, there are no problems with the article. I would support "that Angel has the fourth longest escalators (pictured) in Western Europe?" OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 07:06, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
@OccultZone: Well, don't really get what you mean but it is actually usual if you look at other articles about the London Underground stations. For example: Holborn tube station. :) Vincent60030 (talk) 11:08, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
