Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk) and Kew Gardens 613 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 15:13, 10 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Clark Street station; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Date (GA) is fine, a lot of stuff AGF-ed per GA review, so focusing on hooks. The main hook I feel is (sorry for being blunt) mundane and not very interestng. Ditto for ALT3. As such, I'd prefer ALT1 or 2, with preference to 1, since I am not sure if "ban" is the correct terminology. So in the end - review pass for ALT1. All that remains is the QPQ. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:32, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review Piotrus. I have done a QPQ. No worries about being blunt, by the way; I proposed multiple hooks because what may intrigue some readers may not interest others. Epicgenius (talk) 13:41, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
