Fair use rationale for Image:NS logo.jpg

Image:NS logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Punggol MRT/LRT station/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Gerald Waldo Luis (talk · contribs) 09:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

This alien is reviewing this nomination. GeraldWL 09:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Lead

• In the hatnote, "on the North East line and Punggol LRT line" sounds redundant. Suggest removing that part.
• "By 2031, this station" --> "By 2031, the station".
• alt texts, will ya?

Images

• The multiple images template has the caption "NEL Platforms" and "LRT Platforms" then a footer explaining the same thing. I suggest removing the captions, then change the footer to "(Top to bottom) The NEL and LRT platforms." GeraldWL 14:54, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

North East line (NEL) and LRT

• "Plans and studies were made since 1984 for a possible north-east line serving from Outram Park to Punggol via Dhoby Ghaut." Supported by four citations, which looks like overkill to me. Is this appropriate? If one or two sources are enough to support this sentence, then just use the two sources. GeraldWL 09:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
• "In March 1996, when the 16 NEL stations were revealed, Punggol was confirmed to be the northern terminus of the line." Prefer using semicolon (;) rather than comma (,).
• "During the 1996 National Day Rally Speech by then prime minister Goh Chok Tong, he announced that the station will serve the upcoming Punggol 21 development." --> "During the 1996 National Day Rally Speech, the then prime minister Goh Chok Tong announced that the station will serve the upcoming Punggol 21 development."
• "The staff encountered a few cobras during the station's construction" --> 'cobra' sounds like a slang. Suggest changing to "obstacles", "impediment", or anything synonymous.

• Just to pop in here but I think the cobra used in the sentence refers to the actual snake rather than an obstacle. Pentagon 2057 (T/C) 06:16, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

• Theeen "cobra" should prob be linked. GeraldWL 06:21, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Incidents

• "Investigations later revealed that a broken contact wire affected the power source to trains launching from Sengkang Depot, causing the service disruptions." Is there a reason why a whopping 5 citations are cited?

Station details

• "The station will be extended one stop to Punggol Coast station in 2024." Too many citations.
• "Designed by two architectural firms – 3HP architects and Farrells"-- is "architects" capitalized or no?
• "The glass paintings represents elements of water, the seaside, kampongs"-- you will have to clarify what kampong is, as readers won't probably be Malay or Indonesian.
• "In this work"-- prefer "In the work".
• Paragraph 2 of "Public artwork" uses citation 44 repeatedly. Just remove the first two citations; the last one will cover it all.
  • Similar to Paragraph 3 and 4.
• "This was the first time the artist used glass as a medium." Using the term the artist will make it sound like it's an anonymous artist or something. I prefer referring him as Goh, not the artist; it makes the article more humanly.
• "...he hoped the work will make them "think of the sea" and their "younger days"." I believe everyone knows what he's referring to by "younger days". Suggest paraphrase that to youth or something similar. GeraldWL 14:52, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

  ZKang123, mind addressing these comments? Or have you addressed them all? GeraldWL 17:47, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by ZKang123 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:19, 13 February 2021 (UTC).

• Unfortunately, this article was no longer eligible to be featured at DYK at the time of its nomination per the 7-day rule. It looks like this article was designated as a Good Article on 5 February, but this nomination was not created until 13 February. Next time, please nominate the article within the 7 day time frame outlined in the eligibility criteria so your hard work can be featured in the Did you know section and also be sure to append any proposed hooks with references used in the article. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 02:44, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

• Mccunicano, with all due respect, a nomination that is made less than two and a half hours after the seven-day deadline should be given due consideration, especially as a Good Article designation is the last possible opportunity to be nominated. There are some regular contributors who sometimes miss by a day or two and their nominations are accepted for review. I am requesting new reviewer to look at the decision to reject the nomination. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:57, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

• @Mccunicano: Will you be able to give this a full review? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:11, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

• (Edit conflict) This article is a newly promoted GA and just about meets the newness and length criteria. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:15, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Infobox error

The infobox here showing the previous and next stations misspelled the word "anticlockwise". Jose Corregidor (talk) 15:09, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

I have fixed the error in a template page. Thank you for notifying. Seloloving (talk) 17:00, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
