Dibs. Ping to remind if I go more than a week or so. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 19:07, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

You're familiar with my reviewing style, so I won't waste time. Here we go!


 * Does ⟨F⟩ train need to be linked given that F is already linked, and ⟨F⟩ redirects there?
 * Removed the second link. Epicgenius (talk) 03:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * "As of 2022" could be as of
 * Done. Epicgenius (talk) 03:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure the ADA detail is necessary for the lead. Is it unusual for there to be elevators - as in, are subway stations commonly not ADA-compliant?
 * Actually, yes. The vast majority of NYC Subway stations (about 75%) are not ADA-accessible, so this is relatively noteworthy, compared to in basically every other subway system in the US. Epicgenius (talk) 03:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, how bizarre. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 20:35, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * "some of the pipes and wires..." I'm assuming this refers to the pipes and wires of the utility lines? It may be just that I'm tired but it feels mildly ambiguous.
 * Yes, these are utility pipes and wires. I've clarified that. Epicgenius (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * What are bellmouth tunnels?
 * I added a link. Epicgenius (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Slight inconsistency with format of high-dollar values. Earlier you have $4,616,476, but then you have $34.914 million. Either is fine but I think you should pick one style and stick with it.
 * "was estimated to cost $34.914 million as of August 1940." This isn't 100% clear to me - was that the projected cost for the whole future project, or was that the amount that had already been spent on the project?
 * This was the projected cost for the extension, none of which had been built at the time. Epicgenius (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * It feels weird to have bold text for a variant name halfway down the article. Could we maybe introduce that in the lead?
 * Done. Epicgenius (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * "In early 1949, the BOT that" I think you dropped a word
 * Fixed. Epicgenius (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * lol what in sam hell is a "hygiaphone"
 * I have clarified this. Epicgenius (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * "leased 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2) the northern mezzanine" dropped another word
 * Oops. I've fixed that too. Epicgenius (talk) 22:31, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Just noticed that Rockefeller Center is linked in the lead but never in the body
 * Linked. Epicgenius (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Why is "indefinitely" in quotes?
 * It was a direct quote from the MTA. I guess I could remove the quotation marks though. Epicgenius (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, otherwise it looks like emphasis marks or irony quotes, even though that isn't what you're doing. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 20:41, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * This isn't really germane to this article, but I'm surprised that New York City Transit Riders Council isn't an article.
 * Bit surprised at the lack of images of the station or its exits, as there's no shortage of them on Commons.
 * I forgot to mention that I have fixed these. Epicgenius (talk) 22:31, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * No concerns about sourcing, which is the usual mix of newspapers and books.
 * No copyvio issues, POV, or any other policy-based concerns.
 * Images are freely licensed and legitimate.

As usual with your work, pretty minimal griping, especially in the station layout section; most of what's above is nitpicking. Should be a quick pass. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 04:25, 1 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Looking good, as I said, easy pass :) &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 20:43, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review PMC. I really appreciate it. Epicgenius (talk) 22:31, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
