I will gladly do the review for this article. The Capital Hill Station is a train station article with lots of fantastic information. It gives me a lot of information about the station, its background, and its modern impact. The overall format is great. The infobox has good information and the intro paragraph provides enough to keep the article strong. AmericanAir88 (talk) 00:21, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * This looks to be your first try at a GA review. Unfortunately, I can't accept this review as being comprehensive and faithful to the GA criteria, given how there was no feedback whatsoever. I am requesting a second opinion from another reviewer.  Sounder Bruce  02:37, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * SounderBruce: This is my first try at a GA review. I am trying to reduce the wait and backlog of GA nominations. I apologize if this review did not meet your expectations. AmericanAir88 (talk) 02:39, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Second opinion
I will be happy to offer a second opinion. I have completed 48 GA reviews, and understand the GA criteria. Overall, I think your comments about User:AmericanAir88's review are a little unfortunate, since the quality of the text is the best I have seen in the 24 reviews I have completed this year. I spotted just three minor issues, which I will document in a bit. Back soon. Bob1960evens (talk) 17:22, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I actually just completed a review of another article and it turned out very well! This article was hard to review as I found no errors!  AmericanAir88 (talk) 20:40, 3 October 2017 (UTC)


 * with the latter being chosen a 1995 ballot measure. This seems to have a word or two missing, as it doesn't quite make sense to me.
 * due to unrealistic estimates done during previous stages of planning. Suggest "done" is not a good word choice here. Suggest "made".
 * use of horizontal steel [russes that span 45 feet... Typo in "trusses".
 * If it was my review, I would probably suggest that the lead could do with being just a little longer, maybe two more sentences, to adequately summarise the main points of the article, but I know that this issue is a bit subjective. It ought to mention that the station is in the US, since Wikipedia is read by international audiences. In terms of the tone of the article and the requirement to be broad in context, it does an excellent job. I have not checked the references in detail, as I am assuming that User:AmericanAir88 has done so. I checked three at random, and in each case they supported the text as written. Subject to the three trivial points above, and the mention of US, I endorse AmericanAir88's review, and think that the article deserves to be promoted to GA. As I am only offering a second opinion, I will leave AmericanAir88 to wrap the thing up. Well done everyone, and keep up the high standards. Bob1960evens (talk) 12:21, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you User:Bob1960evens for your Second Opinion. I will wrap this up. SounderBruce the floor is yours for your opinions on the Second Opinion. After that the result will be made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AmericanAir88 (talk • contribs) 23:17, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your review. I have fixed the three items on your list and expanded the lead's second paragraph a bit, to include details from less-covered sections. I hope your future GA reviews are more thorough, as some of these typos jump off the page once they've been read over. GA reviews are completely optional, so if you don't feel like you can do a comprehensive job, then it might be best to read other reviews and perhaps send your own article for review and learn from there.
