 * Does the image associated with the "Incidents" add any value to the article? An image of the actual accident would be much better.
 * The only images I could find were not freely licensed. This shows the site and the damage to the building. Sorry. epicgenius (talk) 15:20, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Please update the caption of the image to mention that it shows the damage to the building. I would have never guessed thats what the scaffolding was.-- Dom497 ( talk ) 12:47, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Done. epicgenius (talk) 15:23, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I still don't think its clear that the scaffolding is there because of the crash. Maybe something like: "The scaffolding on the building was put in place as a result of the crash."-- Dom497 ( talk ) 19:47, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I clarified it. Is it better now? epicgenius (talk) 19:52, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Yep! Looks good! -- Dom497 ( talk ) 15:03, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "Traveling west along Archer Avenue, it passes the Jamaica Center station of the Archer Avenue subway and its Bus Terminal." - "Bus Terminal" shouldn't be capitalized.
 * Done.
 * "At the Sutphin Boulevard subway station and Jamaica Long Island Rail Road and Airtrain JFK station..." - One to many "and"'s.
 * Done.
 * "The Q50 meanwhile turns east to follow the Bx5..." - What is Bx5?
 * Another bus route, but I reworded anyway. Too many details about the Q50. epicgenius (talk) 15:20, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "Prior to 1999, the Q44 ran entirely local between Jamaica, Queens and West Farms, Bronx, and was the only bus service along Main Street in Queens" - Might just be me but the multiple "and"'s throw off the flow of the sentence.
 * Done.
 * "On February 15, 1932, North Shore Bus Company began operating a bus service to replace the Long Island Rail Road's Whitestone Branch,[5][12][13] labeled "Q35" - Move refs 5, 12, and 13 to the end of the sentence since they are so close to it. (This is more of suggestion and not a requirement).
 * I split these up into 2 sentences.
 * "...this is the routing of the current Q25 bus in the area. It then ran east along 14th Avenue before following the current Q76 and Q15 routes to Whitestone." - Needs a reference.
 * Done.
 * Could the infobox be edited to remove the need of the "Q20B operates weekdays only" note?
 * Done.
 * Refs 5 and 18 don't seem reliable.
 * I trusted ref 18 a little more because there is a team of several authors. Anyway, I replaced them both. epicgenius (talk) 15:20, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I would recommend archiving ref 71 (or linking to an already archived version) as it looks like it could become a deadlink in the near future.
 * Done. epicgenius (talk) 15:20, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Great work! Passing!-- Dom497 ( talk ) 15:03, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
