Comments That's all I have on a first pass. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!&#33;!&#33;) 17:13, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * What is CC2 at the head of the infobox?
 * The station code--ZKang123 (talk) 01:45, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I asked because it's not explained or referenced. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!&#33;!&#33;) 07:01, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Well it is used on official maps. See here. Should I have put it in the lead, or just left in the infobox (btw we have just removed station codes from the lead, I'm afraid.)--ZKang123 (talk) 12:47, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It needs to be somewhere in the article other than just unexplained in the infobox. And referenced, of course. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!&#33;!&#33;) 14:45, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * All right, added in the station details services section.--ZKang123 (talk) 00:53, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Yes it did, but later merged into the Circle line. Check this book page 36.--ZKang123 (talk) 01:45, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "Marina Line Architectural Design Competition" capitalises Line again. Be consistent. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!&#33;!&#33;) 07:02, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * World Architecture Festival has an article.
 * "The Contract 825 ..." no need for The here.
 * Image captions which aren't complete sentences should not have a full stop.

 * Infobox, bus and taxi don't need to be capitalised.
 * ' 42 metres (138 ft)),[10" spare closing parenthesis there

 * Eh well, I lifted it from the description.--ZKang123 (talk) 01:45, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * If it's a quote, put it in quote marks. Otherwise it needs re-writing as it's not encyclopedic in tone. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!&#33;!&#33;) 07:03, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Avoid SHOUTING in the refs.

 * "glass roof, which is the key feature of the station." glass isn't mentioned anywhere other than in this image caption, so if it's a "key feature" then I would expect it to be covered in the article too. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!&#33;!&#33;) 07:04, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Changed glass roof to the reflective pool that's above the escalators. My oversight--ZKang123 (talk) 12:47, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
