Hi Jc86035. I'm just off for a wikibreak, but here's my two cents:
lead
Initial proposal
  • Are refs 6 & 10 large enough to need page numbers?
  • Two paras don't end in an inline reference

Modified Initial System

  • I see only two references, again paras don't end in an inline reference
Line extensions
  • Under referenced (only to ref 12)
Airport connection
  • references
  • the in-town check-ins offers a more convenient and time-saving routine; a free shuttle bus service transports travellers from these stations to their respective hotels as well.? I'm not sure about the phrasing of this.
  • Again WP:PERCENT
Tseung Kwan O Line
  • The tried-and-true cross-platform interchange arrangement is repeated here. Opinion? Ref?
West Rail Line
  • Refs?
Interchange stations
  • Only one reference. Note 1 also needs a reference
Ma On Shan Line
  • Unreferenced section
Disneyland extension
  • The3.5–kilometre needs a convert template; this will sort out the unneeded ndash
  • the carriages were changed from the existing M-Train rolling stock to match the recreational and adventurous nature of the 3.5-minute journey ? please expand on the recreational and adventurous nature
Lok Ma Chau Spur Line
  • Empty section
Privatisation and merger
  • refs for the first two and last two paragraphs
Tseung Kwan O Spur Line
  • Empty section
Infrastructure/Network
  • Why do we have track gauges of 1435 and 1432 mm? Apparently the track gauge for the MTR network differs from that of the ex-KCR network by 3mm. Jc86035 (talkcontributions) 03:53, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The details in the information template of the map are out of date (date says 2009/image says 2014)This image has been updated by me and User:Sameboat already. Jc86035 (talkcontributions) 03:53, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Control Centres/Depots/MTR bus
  • All unreferenced sections; consider Control centres
Station facilities, amenities and services
  • I did a source check on this paragraph; it has one 2009 source (up-to-date?), and I'm not seeing anything the reference with backs up the text to .. disabled friendly; this statement alone is an opinion that needs a 3rd party ref
In-station and on-train announcements
  • unreferenced section
Public toilet installation concerns
  • This could be condensed
In-station commerce and journals
  • unreferenced section
Future expansions
  • Other people disagree, but I think this should be called something like Planned expansions, as we have no reliable sources for the future
Rolling stock
  • what does p/h/d mean?
  • One of the cars only carry luggages ?
  • There is a name column in the table, but the headings in the sections below are different (e.g. Metro Cammell EMU(DC) and M Stock)
  • Flags in the table (I'll check this)
  • Adtranz-CAF EMU, CNR EMU, SP1900/1950 EMU and Metro Cammell EMU(AC) are unreferenced
Fares and tickets
  • Second para on ticket prices needs a reference (and also a date)
  • Final para needs a reference
Octopus cards
  • references
Tourist pass
  • Unreferenced section

Skipped a few sections here

references
  • refs 34, 36, 37, 39, 48, 49 are raw urls and need formatting with titles etc. 48/49 are youtube videos and don't appear reliable sources. Other sources need dates and publishers
  • In summary sourcing is my main concern; on the one spot check the ref didn't mention everything that was being referenced. Edgepedia (talk) 11:24, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I did some work last year adding references to the London Underground article, and I was able to borrow a couple of books from the library for the history. Is there not anything similar for the MTR? 12:20, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
      • My reading of the section paragraph of MOS:FLAG is that we don't need flags in the table, as they don't actually represent that country, government, or nationality. Made some changes for clarity.Edgepedia (talk) 18:56, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
