The apartment complex that sued to keep the station open
editI still can't find any reference to the alleged lawsuit to keep the station open, but the only possible nearby apartment complex that could've been involved seems to be the Espalande Gardens apartments. can anybody find anything from there? -------User:DanTD (talk) 02:12, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Comments
- Things in the infobox either not mentioned elsewhere and/or not referenced:
- Zip code.
- Bx19
- Short line bus 208
- Ridership rank.
Will fix these. epicgenius (talk) 00:31, 11 April 2020 (UTC)Done. I have hidden the ZIP Code because there are three of them, and short line bus because it's not operating. epicgenius (talk) 14:44, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- Decrease 41.9% from when? The previous year?
- Yes. Should I add this to the infobox? epicgenius (talk) 00:31, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- Or in the main prose where it ought to be mentioned perhaps? The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 10:45, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- Done Technically, this is only because of the station closure that the station suffered a large decrease in ridership. epicgenius (talk) 14:44, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

- Lead feels a little brief for an article of this size.
- Done Expanded a little.
- Still looks a little odd with such a short opening paragraph... The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 10:45, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- Added more. epicgenius (talk) 14:44, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

- Done Expanded a little.
- "With ... within" "planned ... plans", a little repetitive.
- Done
- "take shuttle buses, the M7 or the M102." potentially confusing, what about "take the M7 or the M102 shuttle buses."?
- These are three routes. So I reordered these. epicgenius (talk) 00:31, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- "This was done to correct " don't need "done".
- Explain what MTA is before using the abbreviation.
- Done
- Likewise NYCT.
- Done
- Station layout - side platform is overlinked, Entrance/Exit is just Entrance/exit, Street Level is just Street level.
- Done
- "9 cars to 10 cars " nine to ten cars.
- Done
- "The artwork consists o" -> "It consists.."
- Done
- " 142nd Street Junction" and "IRT White Plains Road Line" are overlinked.
- Done
- Note A appears unreferenced.
- Removed as it is trivia. epicgenius (talk) 00:31, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- Spaced hyphens should be en-dashes.
- Done
- Avoid SHOUTING in the ref titles (e.g. ref 6)
- Done
- Ref 26 has no publisher/website info. Check others.
- "mta.info. Metropolitan Transportation Authority", this is used several times, "Metropolitan Transportation Authority" is linked once, on the last occasion. Check your linking methodology in the references in toto.
- Hopefully fixed. epicgenius (talk) 00:31, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

- @The Rambling Man: Thanks. These have been addressed, except for the infobox stuff, which I'll get to later, since it's quite late for me right now. epicgenius (talk) 00:31, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by Kew Gardens 613 (talk) and Epicgenius (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 16:21, 16 April 2020 (UTC).
- Article is long enough and passed GA recently enough, has proper inline citations and I see no copyright violations. The hook is neutral and interesting enough to a broad audience, and the source checks out. The image is also appropriately licensed and used in the article. Good enough for DYK as far as I can see! I've not reviewed too many of these though so additional comments are welcome. ▼PσlєοGєєкƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ 22:00, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
