BMT Brighton Line
I chose this article because it is about the local train line of my neighborhood. This is an important topic for me because I regularly take public transportation, specifically the mentioned trains. It was an interesting read.

Lead Section
In the lead section of this page, the first sentence clearly describes what the BMT line is and where it runs. The full section gives a brief description of where the trains run through, as well as the history of the service during the early 1900’s. However, some other information could’ve been picked that would’ve explained the history of the time period better. Other than this, it seems like no unnecessary information was included that did not appear in the page and at the same time, not overly detailed.

Content
All of the content written on this page is relevant. I found out a lot of new and interesting information. It seems up-to-date, as it was most recently edited less than 2 weeks ago. I don’t think there’s any unnecessary or missing content.

Tone and Balance
The tone of the article is neutral. I did not notice any heavily bias information about anything.

Sources and References
I saw a lot of sources throughout the page. I clicked on a few and they all worked. Many other articles and websites were used as references to describe the topic.

Organization and Writing Quality
I thought that this page was well written and structured well. If someone was looking for something specific, they would be able to find it. In my opinion, the important parts were all discussed. I did not notice any grammar or spelling errors.

Images and Media
The images throughout the page were good additions to the text. It was nice to see some pictures of the stations that were described. The captions were descriptive. For example, in a few pictures of the stations, it also included the direction of which the picture was taken. I don’t think there were any copyright violations.

Talk Page Discussion
In this section, users came comments verifying certain details. For example, a possibly change to a date mentioned. Also, some incomplete descriptions/phrases were believed to be incomplete.

Overall Impressions
I enjoyed reading this page. I take the BMT Brighton Line often and it was interesting reading about its history. I learned that the Avenue H train station, which I go to every time I go to and from school, is one of a kind in the city. This is due to it being a cottage styled home. It was originally a real estate office that sold homes in the area. I think it is important to have wiki pages like this because although someone can live in an area for many years, you may not know the history behind it.
