GA Reassessment
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.''

The article does not currently meet the GA criteria. I will leave the reassessment open for a week. It substancial work to meet the criteria has not been started by then, I will delist the article without further notice. Note that since the article was passed, the GA criteria have changed, and that the article may have met the criteria then, but not any more. Arsenikk (talk)  18:46, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The lead is far too short, and leaves out critical parts of the article, violating criteria 1b.
 * Most of the article lacks in-line citation, citations are incorrectly formatted, and one even uses the French Wikipedia as a source, violating WP:RS. There are also numberous fact-tags.
 * The section on stations is unfocused, leaving out critical information, while focusing on details.
 * It does not meet criteria five (POV), for instance due to this sentence: "The social and economic impact of the RER is difficult to overstate. Journey times, particularly on east-west and north-south routes, have been cut spectacularly (and thanks to the cross-platform connection at Châtelet - Les Halles, even "diagonal" trips are rapid). As a result, the network has been an extraordinary popular success since its opening." The parts in italics are those that are POV. The problem is that they cannot just be removed, because they make an important point: the RER is a success. However, facts need to be stated, not opinions. For instance: what is the impact (in time, money)? how much travel time has been cut? How successful?
 * A week has passed an no attempt has been made to address the issues. I am therefore delisting the article. Arsenikk (talk)  11:39, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
