I'll look at this one. —Ed!(talk) 03:23, 12 January 2019 (UTC)


 * GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written:
 * Dab and dup links show no problems. External links check out and copyvio shows green.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable:
 * Source spotchecks Refs 7, 38 and 50 back up what they are cited to in the article.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage:
 * Not Yet
 * "Nearby landmarks include Oaks Park High School, Alborough Primary School, St. Theresa Roman Catholic Church, Ilford War Memorial Gardens and Holiday Inn Express Hotel." -- Ref needed.
 * ✅ Oh, I've actually added the ref but in a diff paragraph. Will fix this Vincent LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 10:14, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Any details about construction, cost or who (construction/excavators) built it?
 * It's a bit difficult to search for it since it was built by GER which possibly received less coverage than LU stations but if I can I'll include it. Vincent LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 10:19, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Consistency: "9 stabling sidings were added to the northwest of the station, connected to the westbound track via a flat crossing and another reversing siding in between the through tracks in autumn 1947. These did not last; the seven sidings were abandoned on 25 September 1949 " -- numerals under 10 are usually spelled out, especially when they begin sentences. But just needs to be consistent, one way or another.
 * ✅ fixed. Thanks for pointing out Vincent LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 10:17, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Any traffic numbers for the station at any point in its history? London underground numbers are helpful but ridership of this line/usage of this station would be something I'd think would be available.
 * I don't think LU provides this but I suppose I can ask for some help from, and .  Vincent LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 10:19, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Annual usage numbers are in the infobox for the last five years. These come from TfL and are calculated using survey counts extrapolated to annual equivalence. Older data is available using the same source, but we only put the most recent five years into the infobox. If you want to state where the station ranks amongst all Underground stations you can use Tubeexits list rank to get the position with.
 * You can combine this with Tubeexits list as follows to create useful sentences.
 * gives "In 2017, Newbury Park station had an annual usage of 5.53 million and was the 145th busiest station on the London Underground."
 * Thank you kindly :D Indeed a genius coder here. Vincent LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 05:26, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy:
 * Pass No problems there.
 * 1) It is stable:
 * Pass No problems there.
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
 * Pass Images cited to CC tags where appropriate.
 * 1) Other:
 * On hold Pending a few fixes. —Ed!(talk) 06:02, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I’ve addressed the minor issues. I can’t seem to find any source for the railway construction cost as I have no access to any books in the UK and coverage is like zero for the former GER line. Vincent LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 14:55, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! I think we've got enough of the detail now that it should meet GA criteria. Well done. —Ed!(talk) 15:45, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for the review =D Vincent LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 05:26, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
