Level Crossing Removal Project
... that the Level Crossing Removal Project, an agency of the Victorian government, is removing 110 level crossings by 2030, which is the fastest rate in their history? Source: https://researchrepository.rmit.edu.au/esploro/outputs/9921860675101341- Reviewed:
- Comment: Recently made a good article and therefore I think it should be added to the did you know section
Improved to Good Article status by HoHo3143 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:55, 18 December 2022 (UTC).
Hi HoHo3143 (talk), review follows: article promoted to GA on 17 December, is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources; hook is interesting, stated in the article and cited (to a source I cannot access but happy to assume in good faith that it supports it); no QPQ required. I think the hook would be improved by stating the country (I am not sure how well known Victoria is as a state globally) and in the article it states that it is no longer an agency. "Liberal MP Brad Rowswell criticised the Andrews government for a lack of local consultation on the project, and said it was "indicative of a government that was out of touch with the community"" is identical to the source and the quote is not actually indicated as a direct quote from Rowsell in the source, can you address this? The Earwig tool also picks up that "32 of the crossings chosen featured in the top 50 of a 2008 list by the Department of Transport of the state's most dangerous, and just 28 were prioritised on a 2013 VicRoads removal list" appears in this news article from 14 December 2017, it did not appear in our article until after this date so appears to have been copied from there - Dumelow (talk) 09:10, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
