Review commentary

 * Notified: WikiProject Trains, WikiProject France, User:Schutz‎, User:Slambo‎ , User:Willkm‎

Just a quick skim over the article shows that there are very, very few references for an article of this size, and that many statements are unreferenced (criteria 1c). I don't think an article like this should be an FA. Noble Story (talk) 02:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Acknowledging that I have at least received the notice (thanks for the notice). I was involved in the original push to move this up to FA level; I haven't looked very closely at the text of this article since it was promoted.  I will try to find time to return and fill it in with some more refs and clean it up as needed, but with school this week, I don't think I will have as much time as I would like.

 * Large sections of this article read like trivia collections. For example, look at the last several "paragraphs" in the History section.WVhybrid (talk) 01:15, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Suggested FA criteria concerns are referencing (1c) and trivia (4). Marskell (talk) 10:42, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delist I stand by my original comments. This is definitely not an example of Wikipedia's best work. Noble Story (talk) 11:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delist unsourced, and we don't need lawsuits from the company because of any unsourced errors about their mishaps and accidents either.  Blnguyen  ( bananabucket ) 06:33, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Remove, too much unsourced hard data, external link farm, incorrectly formatted citations, and easily spotted MoS deficiencies (dashes) and ce issues (hyphens). Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 00:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
