Oxford Circus tube station

I have been working on the article since 2015 and would like to receive suggestions to bring it up to FA status. For now, I can't seem to think of anything else to improve on or add in since it's quite saturated already.

There hasn’t been any reply for a week so Imma seek for some expert advice from Ritchie333, DavidCane, Redrose64 and Iridescent. Vincent^LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 04:18, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

@Vincent60030: If you wish to notify people who don't have this page on their watchlists (basically, everybody except you and me), you need to sign at the same time that you post the links to Ritchie333, DavidCane and Iridescent. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:17, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

You mean posting talkbacks? Vincent^LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 01:25, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Saw the ping. Some comments:

• Coincidentally, I found a picture yesterday of the Bakerloo line platform from a report of the line's opening in the Illustrated London News. I'll upload it later.
• In the history section I think there needs be a bit more information on the station itself. Almost all of the content of the Central line and Bakerloo line sections is about the lines rather than station and is not really relevant to the article. Much of what is in the Station building section and the station architecture section is actually the history that should be here.
• The Victoria line section needs to be broken into paragraphs.
• Technically, the raft constructed under Peter Robinson's was a post-stressed or post-tensioned raft rather than pre-stressed. The video in the external links shows the stressing tendons being fed into the tubes within the concrete raft at about 1:01:10. These are then pulled tight to tension the concrete. Pre-stressing is done by tensioning the steel tendons before the concrete is poured and is usually used for pre-fabricated components.
• The station today section mentions the reinstatement of the Hans Unger tile motifs, but does not mention Unger previously, or why they needed to be reinstated. The Hans Unger linked is a different Hans Unger. Only the Central line was originally tiled in white. The Bakerloo line was tiled in one of the UERL's multi-coloured patterns.
• The services section is too detailed. We usually list the stations either side for each line and the start and end times for services.  Done
• Where groups of refs are used as a set, they should be in ascending order - the ones at the end of the first paragraph of Bakerloo and Central lines need reordering.  Done
• Some of the notes seem to have been imported from the articles on the CLR and BS&WR. Note 1 could be trimmed to just indicate that the CLR proposal was opposed by existing companies. Notes 2, 3, 4 are rather redundant for this article as they on subjects other than Oxford Circus tube station. Note 6 refers to the L&GFC without explaining that this is the notorious Whitaker Wright's London & Globe Finance Corporation. Note 14 needs rewording.  Done I've decided also to remove note 6 too since it would have been too long to be included as a note. Vincent^LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 09:43, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
