Name[edit]

There's NO such thing as "Sognsvannbanen"! The article refers to Line 3 of the Oslo metro system but it's also called "Mortensrud" since the metro goes two ways. When one of them reaches the end station it switches name to the other and goes back the same way it came. Meaning if there is such a thing as "Sognsvannbanen" it would have more than 10 stations, in fact it would have just as many stations as "Mortensrudbanen" since it is the same line... Get rid of this ridiculous article!!!--The REAL Teol 22:13, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree quite strongly. The authorities in the city of Oslo refers to this stretch as "Sognsvannsbanen" [1] [2]. The Oslo transport company refers to the Majorstuen-Sognsvann stretch as "Sognsvannsbanen" [3]. "Line 3 Sognsvann-Mortensrud" is a far more recent innovation, Line 3 just combines the Sognsvann Line in the west with the Østensjø Line in the east, and that can change, it has changed several times over the last twenty years (Line 13, Line 4, Line 5 and now line 3 have served this line). It is no more ridiculous than the Archer Avenue Line which is part of the "E" in New York. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:17, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Three deadlinks
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

Beautiful images in the snow by the way :)
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
If you can fix the deadlinks I will pass the article.
Thank you for taking the time to do the review. I have fixed the two deadlinks I found, and used WP:WEBCITE on the one. I agree: trains are most beautiful either in snow or on a sunny, summer day. Arsenikk ^(talk) 17:20, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Such a pity that there are almost no photos of Sognsvann Line stations in the snow with a train (except from the one I just put in). Even I with my lousy photographing skills could be capable of shooting a nice photo of a wintery station (espescially since I use the line every day). ;) --Eisfbnore (talk) 21:35, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
