I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it meets all the criteria at WP:FLCR, and is on par with similar lists at WP:FL#Transport. I previously created the FL-class page List of SEPTA Regional Rail stations, and I feel that this list is equal to that one in quality and criteria. –Dream out loud (talk) 03:06, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 08:32, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comments not quite sure why you've had to wait nearly a month for a single review, so here's one from me.
  • No need to link common geographical entities, such as United States.
  • It's not essential, but most of the links to the various stations are redirects. If you're editing, could you fix these? It's particularly vexing when you have something like Health District displayed, pipelinked to Civic Center (Miami) which redirects to Health District (Miami)...
  • "Miami-Dade Transit operates 42 metro stations, with 23 stations in the Metrorail system and 21 stations in the Metromover system" bit repetitive, probably don't need to repeat stations the second and third time.
  • Not sure about linking "transfers" to "interchange stations", it would probably be better just to say that those two are "interchange stations".
  • "Metrorail service began..." Shouldn't that be "The Metrorail service..."?
  • "Since 1985, the Metrorail system was expanded" "system has been expanded, including the ..."? Or just drop "Since 1985" altogether.
  • "On May 26, 1994, the 1.4-mile (2.3 km) Omni Loop and 1.1-mile (1.8 km) Brickell Loop lines as branches to the north and south of the Downtown area, respectively" I've read this a couple of times, is there something missing?
  • In the key, "Transfer to Metromover at station" this really means "Interchange station with Metromover" doesn't it?
  • "Brickell station is the second-busiest Metrorail station," it's fourth in the table, so something's missing here.
  • "Miami International Airport station, which opened in 2003, is the newest station in the Metrorail system." table says it opened in 2012.
  • "Adrienne Arsht Center station on the Omni Loop is one of three stations in the Omni neighborhood of Miami." only two are listed against Omni.
  • Check links, e.g. ref 18 doesn't work for me. Also add page numbers for PDFs if appropriate.

Thank you for taking the time to review the page. Most of the issues have been addressed. The term "transfer station" is used as opposed to "interchange station" is because the former term is used in America, while the latter is used in other English speaking countries. I did not fix the station redirects because all those pages were moved without a consensus after I created this nomination. A similar propoal for moving Metromover pages was proposed at Talk:Adrienne Arsht Center (Metromover station) but failed to reach a consensus, which is why the pages have a different name format. The format of US station article names is currently an long ongoing debate at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (US stations), and so those pages moved without a consensus will likely get reverted. –Dream out loud (talk) 19:27, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • and the Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre station MOS:SLASH recommends to avoid slashes
The slash is in Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre station is part of the station name and article title so MOS:SLASH doesn't apply. –Dream out loud (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • connecting Metrorail with the Tri-Rail commuter train, and a 1.4-mile (2.3 km) extension of the northern terminus to Palmetto in 2003 This is a bit awkward; can you rework? I'm not sure what the piece after "and" means.
I re-read it a few times and it makes sense to me. The sentence refers to two new extensions of the system, anad the second part of the sentence is the second extention. –Dream out loud (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's a new Ridership Technical Report out; can you update to March in the lead and table? I don't know the release schedule, but you might want to wait until the next technical report is released; I don't know the release schedule, but I assume it should be out soon.
See paragraph below. –Dream out loud (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note 3: Currently closed for construction until mid-2015 do you have a citation for this, and can you be more specific? It's mid-2015 now.
  • Do you have a reference for note 4?
 Resolved Reference added. Station is closed until "summer 2015" but as per WP:SUMMER, I said "mid-2015" instead. There is no re-opening date available yet, so I instead changed it to read when it first closed. –Dream out loud (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • You link South Florida Business Journal in reference 15 but not in reference 9.
 Resolved –Dream out loud (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reference 18 has an interesting page number. Is this proper?
Yes, this is because it is page 1 of the Broward section of the paper (referring to Broward County, as opposed to Miami-Dade County in which Miami is located) –Dream out loud (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm concerned about using ridership figures from just one month. For example, the College stops are less busy during holidays, and presumably there will be some spots which will be more popular during vacations. The use of exclusively "weekday" figures, not including any weekend figures can be misleading too: Miami International Airport is almost as busy at the weekends as weekdays, but this isn't the case for most other stations, so the use of these limited figures can be misleading. Unless you can expand them to properly represent the overall use of the stations, I'd recommend getting rid of them completely. Otherwise, a good looking list.

MDT releases ridership figures on a monthly basis, but I couldn't find any reports that note ridership averages throughout a year. I could update it for the most recent month, but it would have to again be updated the following month. I can also remove the column entirely if other editors feel that would be appropriate. Other FL-class station lists only use weekday ridership data, which is why that column is included and does not feature weekend ridership. (e.g. BART, MetroLink) –Dream out loud (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Archived already? Did it pass? Fail? Any notes other than just "archived"? All the issues raised were addressed. I don't see why this shouldn't have passed. –Dream out loud (talk) 16:24, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
