 * No dablinks
 * No dead refs

 * Lead section: "the station was completed rebuilt with additional tracks in the late 1930s" – should "completed" be "completely"?

 * The second paragraph of the Northern Heights project section is completely unsourced. sst  ✈  04:55, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't say that the whole paragraph is unsourced but in this case most of the paragraph is unsourced. The picture on the left acts as a reference stating that it consists of 4 platforms. ;) Pinging in case he doesn't notice.  VKZY LUFan (talk) (Mind the Gap!) 06:16, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
 * "The station was provided with two additional platforms, giving four in total. The platforms comprise two parallel islands with tracks on both sides." Per WP:FILMPLOT this part does not need to be backed with inline citations, but the rest of the paragraph needs sources. sst  ✈  16:12, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The London rail atlas may be able to help with that, though not the historical aspect. -mattbuck (Talk) 16:28, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
 * This OS Map image shows the station in 1894 with its original two platforms clearly shown. The 1873 map used in the article to show the original "East End" station name also shows the two tracks through the station with platforms on each side, but, because it is a smaller scale, it's not as clear.--DavidCane (talk) 10:22, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The London Rail Atlas 3rd edition, ISBN 9780711037281, shows the lines to the depot on page 13. -mattbuck (Talk) 15:14, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Would you mind adding these to the article as citations? sst  ✈  23:47, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I've added the atlas reference. I'd suggest combining the subsections as I don't think there's enough material to justify the sectioning. -mattbuck (Talk) 19:29, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've also put a citation in for the use of both routes to Highgate and a note on the services planned for the line.--DavidCane (talk) 23:27, 18 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Copyvios acceptable
 * By the way, the text on Geograph that generates the top copyvio result was actually borrowed from the Wikipedia Highgate tube station article by Oxyman when he posted his photo on Geograph in 2009. The words were something I wrote back in 2005 (diff here) and have reused in the East Finchley article.--DavidCane (talk) 20:21, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The only thing left would be to add sources to the unsourced paragraph. Placing on hold for 7 days. sst  ✈  05:29, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Just wondering but is there any information available on historical service levels at the station? -mattbuck (Talk) 16:28, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Not that I have any information on.--DavidCane (talk) 10:22, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
