Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 12:53, 22 August 2019 (UTC).
The full review is to follow, but right now I kind of find the article a little disorienting. Sometimes the article refers to "Bush Terminal", and at other times refers to "Industry City" (I'm aware that they refer to the same place, but it's still kind of confusing to keep track). I'd suggest doing some kind of rewording to improve consistency, or at least to make things more clear about what subject is being referred to. Of the hooks proposed, the first hook and ALT2 are probably the best options. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:21, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for the comment. I referred to the subject according to what it was called at that point in time. Hence, the use of "Bush Terminal" in the first few subsections of the History section. It has been clarified now. epicgenius (talk) 14:14, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. Looks better now, will try to finish the review by the end of the week (the article is pretty long so it might take a while to check everything out). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:41, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
Article was promoted to good article status on time, and I am assuming good faith that the GA criteria for that was met; DYK article criteria are met as well. Earwigs is currently down so I am unable to check for close paraphrasing; however, my earlier concerns about confusing wording has been addressed. I cannot access the sources for ALT0 so I am assuming good faith for their veracity. I was however able to access the source for ALT2 and verify the information. As I mentioned before, ALT0 and ALT2 are the most interesting hooks, and are cited inline. A QPQ has been done. Should be good to go with ALT0 and ALT2; the final choice will be left to the promoter.
