Concern

Hello @Happypillsjr:, I am concerned with this nomination as you have not fully been active in editing this page. It seems this page should have been nominated by @Epicgenius: or @Kew Gardens 613:. Looking at the revision history it seems you have never actually improved the page. Epic and Kew, what do you think of this nomination? I believe a nominator should be active in editing the page. It seems that if this article were to promote, Happy would take the credit for what Epic and Kew did. Happy any insight into why you never edited the page?.

I am considering failing this. Happy has had a terrible history with GA reviews and an inadequate review on the only one he passed. Happy has Never edited this article and shows no dedication to completing the review. @Epicgenius:, @Kew Gardens 613: do you agree? AmericanAir88 (talk) 15:23, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

@AmericanAir88: I do think this page needs a lot of work. I'll add more comments later, but basically I had elaborated some concerns on the main talk page. epicgenius (talk) 15:32, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

@AmericanAir88: I agree. I don't think that this article is ready to be a GA yet. I would hesitate to nominate it. Before it is nominated, the history needs to be improved, and additional citations need to be added. Per, Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions, "Articles can be nominated by anyone, though it is highly preferable that they have contributed significantly to the article and are familiar with the subject." I think that the nominator should be active in editing the relevant page or similar articles.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 15:49, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Wikicheck

• No Copyvios
• References 1, 13, and 26 are dead.
• The links: Brooklyn and Rockaway Beach Railroad (redirect page), Canarsie Railroad (redirect page), and 14th Street Tunnel (redirect page) all link back to the article. The wikilinks are useless.

Issues

• A ton of Duplinks especially in the last section.
