Hi, I'm Kingsif, and I'll be doing this review. This is an automated message that helps keep the bot updating the nominated article's talkpage working and allows me to say hi. Feel free to reach out and, if you think the review has gone well, I have some open GA nominations that you could (but are under no obligation to) look at. Kingsif (talk) 00:09, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

• Copyvio looks clear.
• Images good, infobox and maps good
  • Does the infobox need two photos?
    •  Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Could the three train images in the Rolling stock section be put into the same multiple image template?
• Just noticed they park in Corona Yard. That's unfortunate.
  • Well... the Corona in Corona Yard refers to Corona, Queens. Not sure where Corona, Queens's name came from. So, yeah, an unfortunate coincidence. epicgenius (talk) 23:22, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
• Tables seem fine
• Good choice to make popular culture a bullet list
• Sources except IMDb for The #7 Train: An Immigrant Journey seem suitable
  •  Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
• Lead is a good length but I think the paragraph devoted to explaining the different bullets is excessive, when this is illustrated in the article with images and a shorter piece of prose than the lead has - there should be enough appropriate content to get lead coverage
  •  Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
• Duplicate link to Grand Central in Early history
  •  Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Also three links to 1964 World's Fair throughout the article - only first should remain
    •  Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
• Talk and history fine
• The first two paragraphs of Early history are just simple statements of the line being extended. If nothing else happened, this could at least be made to read a bit more interesting. Clever connectives, maybe?
  •  Done
• Express section fine
• Rehabilitation section fine except last two sentences need ref/s
• Extension CBTC looks good, possible over-use of 'However' to start sentences
  •  Done and trimmed. epicgenius (talk) 23:22, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
• Rolling stock needs refs, prose looks good, maybe a bit jumpy

Overall

• on hold, comments above, small bits of everything Kingsif (talk) 00:31, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

• Nice work Kingsif (talk) 16:22, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
