Style

edit
  • Lead a little long for the length of the article
  • Lead generally well written, but phrase several stops and starts perhaps a bit too non-encyclopedic for GA (though this arguably a part that can be trimmed anyway)
  • Original station good
  • Question - are Spanish missionaries not titled 'Padre' (instead of 'Father')
  • El Garces subsection otherwise good
  • Restoration good
  • There were a few punctuation errors - resolved
  • Nice work!
  • Needs attention - lead length and question on terminology

Coverage

edit
  • Some excessive coverage in the lead (also per style on MOS:LEADLENGTH) - there are some details that can be cut back to only the main overview. It's well written so I trust that editors/the nominator can identify places to trim effectively
  • Original station good
  • El Garces subsection good
  • Restoration good
  • The only section is on History, is there no other kind of coverage? Though legacy/impact seem to be incorporated into the history, I'd ask if there might be any appearances in popular culture, for example?
  • Needs attention - lead work and question on other potential

Illustration

edit
  • All images on commons
  • Good infobox, and suitable use of the collapse for former services
  • Good use of images, fair amount for length of article
  • Pass

Neutrality

edit
  • Fine
  • Pass

Verifiability

edit
  • Sources good
  • Everything cited in line
  • Pass

Stability

edit
  • History good
  • Pass

Overall

edit
Thanks for taking the review! I combined a couple sentences in the lede, but I don't think there's much more than I can do without it missing out on major summary points. While it's a bit longer than typical for ~1000 words of main text, I don't think 11 sentences in 3 short paragraphs is disastrously long.
I changed Father to Padre to match the source. As for other sections, I don't think there's really anything else to add. Unlike some other stations I've brought to GA, there's not a complex platform configuration nor a laundry list of connecting services. Perhaps because of its remote location, I haven't seen any significant appearances in popular culture or so on. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:18, 17 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the response, that makes it clear. I'll also note here that I saw the request for images on the talk page, but believe any more would be too saturated so I don't find that the images described would improve the article. Bearing in mind, happy to pass this.   Kingsif (talk) 05:37, 17 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
