- The article looks good so far, will be doing some more readthroughs to catch any possible issues that I might have missed. Shearonink (talk) 22:38, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- @SounderBruce: Congrats, it's a GA. I wanted to say that I especially enjoy how you tied in community reactions to transport in the area over the years and to the building of this station - some human interest helps to leaven all the construction/transport details. Going forward any possible improvements would be keeping the article updated with any changes to the nearby developments. Oh, I also think Wikilinking Olmsted's name would be a good idea since not everyone knows who Frederick Law Olmsted was. Shearonink (talk) 14:01, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Pass or Fail:
Redlinked articles edit
@SounderBruce: Even though this isn't strictly a GA Criteria, I think the amount of redlinks in the article at present is a little much and they should be pruned down a bit (also, "Martin Luther King Jr. Way" is Wikilinked twice - at least one of the Wikilinks should go). Shearonink (talk) 22:38, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Shearonink: I've decided to scrap all the redlinks for now. I plan to create articles for those redlinks and re-add them at a later date (e.g. Draft:Martin Luther King Jr. Way (Seattle)). SounderBruce 02:32, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
- @SounderBruce: Thanks, I kind of figured that they were on your article-schedule, considering your interest in Seattle Washington Transport articles. Shearonink (talk) 02:38, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
