GA review (see here for criteria)

---

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • The sentence "The failed Forward Thrust initiatives of 1968 and 1970 proposed a heavy rail line between Downtown Seattle and Renton that ran along the Duwamish River through the Industrial District and Georgetown, serving Boeing Field by 1985" should probably have a comma after "Field".
     •  Done
   • "The only fatality of the Central Link project occurred on February 7, 2007 near the west portal of the northbound Beacon Hill Tunnel, where 49-year-old mechanic Michael Merryman[43] and another injured worker were thrown from a supply train after it collided with an unoccupied locomotive", was Michael Merryman the only fatality? If so, you should make this clear as the sentence seems to imply both Merryman and the injured worker were fatalities.
     •  Done
   • "Beacon Hill Station opened to the public during a weekend of free service celebrating the inaugural day of Central Link service, on July 18, 2009", I would probably move the date to earlier in the sentence after "public".
     •  Done

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   • "Central Link trains serve Beacon Hill 20 hours a day every day", what is the exact hours of service?
     •  Done Added hours of service and corrected for Sunday's 18 hours of service

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   I'm not sure if the artwork image can be considered public domain as I thought artwork was copyrighted.

   I've removed the image and replaced it with the platform picture from the section below it.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

I will place the article on hold for a few fixes to be made. Dough4872 02:48, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

It's been quite a while since my last GAN, so I expected more than a few mistakes. SounderBruce 20:57, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

I will now pass the article. Dough4872 01:14, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
