Talk:Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue station

Merge proposal

I am proposing that West End Terminal be merged into this article. It is clear from the text of West End Terminal that it is referring to the same site that eventually evolved into the present station. There is no point in having a separate article. Marc Shepherd 14:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Usage of "Coney Island Terminal"

I never heard that before, at least in current usage. And a quick google test brings up 49 results, most of them attached to "Stillwell Avenue". Pacific Coast Highway ^{{talk • contribs}} 01:12, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

World's largest?

What does "world's largest above-ground terminal facility" mean? Its clearly not as large as, say, London Bridge station either in number of passengers served or its physical size. And that is well above street level.

And physically its not remotely as big as Glasgow Central, most of which is also above street level (though not the main entrance) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.61.22.88 (talk) 14:00, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

The Namba Station in Osaka is about ten stories in the air and also has 8 tracks. It is part of a complex with a huge office building and under ground food market adjacent to the subway station. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.84.173.41 (talk) 23:33, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Solved the problem by making mention that it is one of the world's largest. --Trulystand700 (talk) 19:06, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

This review is transcluded from Talk:Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue (New York City Subway)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Passes the threshold "immediate failure" criteria: no cleanup banners, no obvious copyright infringements, etc. Jackdude101 (talk) 01:49, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   Sticks to the well-sourced facts.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

2. Is it verifiable with no original research?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:

   C. It contains no original research:

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

   The statement in the article about this station being one of the largest elevated rail terminals on Earth is a major WP:DYK-worthy fact and ought to be moved to the lead section. I have also read multiple online sources not yet included in the article which state that this station is actually the world's number-one largest elevated rail terminal, so changing the statement in the article accordingly would be appropriate if one of those additional sources is included.

   OPTIONAL: consider adding a See also section with a {{Portal bar}} containing the portals listed on the article's talk page at minimum. You could also include links to articles about other major rail terminals serving notable amusement areas, such as Blackpool North railway station in the UK and Gare de Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy in France.

4. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

   I'm wondering if the use of File:Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue.png is necessary, as the route diagram displayed next to it more-or-less duplicates the information it contains.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   GA Review complete. Jackdude101 (talk) 17:47, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
