Roosevelt station (Sound Transit)

[edit]

5x expanded by SounderBruce (talk). Self-nominated at 00:04, 19 August 2016 (UTC).

  • The article says nothing about "demands", just some people wanted A, others wanted Y, and X was chosen after it turned out the cost difference wasn't as much as thought. I've struggled to find an actually interesting hook, but the best thing I could find was the the sinkhole, and even that's pretty ho-hum. Maybe we could say the tunnels were built using a "boring machine" -- get it? EEng 21:28, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Yes, transit is quite boring indeed. Perhaps using Standard Radio (and its preserved facade) as a hook would be better? It's mentioned in the slides and video and cited as such. SounderBruce 05:13, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

  • ALT1 at least isn't dead on arrival. EEng 05:30, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
  • 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT1 is definitely an improvement; thanks EEng! ALT1 hook ref verified and cited inline. I tweaked the piped link and reduced the overlinking. QPQ done. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:27, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
FTR ALT1 wasn't me, it was SounderBruce. EEng 00:15, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
  • (repeating tick for the bot)
  • I pulled this from q4 as I couldn't confirm the hook. The source says the builders offered to incorporate the facade but doesn't say whether or not the offer was accepted. Gatoclass (talk) 13:48, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
    • @Gatoclass: Reference 38 (at the end of the paragraph, and used to cite the entire paragraph) includes a packet with renderings of the station with the facade incorporated into the south entry (pg. 29). SounderBruce 20:43, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
How about we change the hook to "plans to incorporate"? Gatoclass (talk) 07:53, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
Another case in which trouble probably would have been avoided had the source been quoted right next to the hook. EEng 07:56, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
I'm alright with changing the hook. And I've added the source to the hook's sentence to make it better. SounderBruce 05:14, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
ALT2: ...that the future Roosevelt station in Seattle plans to incorporate a preserved Streamline Moderne facade from a music shop that was demolished for its construction?
@Gatoclass: Notice that this has been sitting stale for a long time. Are there anymore issues to address? SounderBruce 09:13, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
I'm surprised this one is still here, no there were no more issues IIRC, but since nobody else has done so in the meantime I will try to find time to complete the review on this tomorrow. Feel free to ping me again if I haven't come back to it in a day or two. Gatoclass (talk) 12:09, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
@Gatoclass: Seems to have fallen off the main TTDYK page. Hope you don't forget about this one! SounderBruce 07:53, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
I couldn't track down what happened to this one - it must have been inadvertently removed at some time, but I have restored it so it should get promoted soon. Cheers, Gatoclass (talk) 13:41, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
It was unfortunately removed at the time of its original promotion because of the noinclude problems with the review bot; I've just now deleted those tags so it doesn't recur when this is finally promoted. Very sorry for the delay that caused, SounderBruce. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:00, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
