List of DART Light Rail stations

 * Nominator(s): Patriarca12 (talk) 04:34, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that it meets the FLC criteria as it is based on the templates set forth in previous FLC on similar topics (List of St. Louis MetroLink stations, List of Bay Area Rapid Transit stations and List of Vancouver SkyTrain stations).

Otherwise good. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 21:52, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * Is it possible to avoid placing footnotes in the middle of sentences?
 * Additionally, all stations include works of public art as part of the DART Station Art & Design Program. - "Additionally" is redundant here.
 * 2-column reflist?


 * Comments addressed. Thanks for taking a look at this! Patriarca12 (talk) 22:32, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment The map needs alternative text. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:00, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Alt text added to the map. Patriarca12 (talk) 02:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but what you added doesn't really describe the content of the map. It doesn't help the reader to describe the appearance of the symbols. See the two examples given in the link I provided. If you still have trouble, contact, the expert on alt text. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:56, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Some of the other alt texts need a bit of improvement. Don't use proper nouns that can't be verified by looking at the image (e.g. "DART" and names of stations). For example, in "the DART Light Rail Pearl Station island platform and canopy in the median of the street with only a few passengers present" just say "A light rail station island platform..." Dabomb87 (talk) 02:58, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think I got it this time. Proper nouns removed except for Las Colinas from all alt texts and map text formatted like one of the ones shown in the suggested link. Thanks for the help! Patriarca12 (talk) 03:36, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, what makes http://www.angelahunt.com/2005/02/15/dallas-area-rapid-transit-meeting/ reliable? Dabomb87 (talk) 23:16, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Replaced the council woman's website with a citation from the Dallas Morning News. Patriarca12 (talk) 02:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Pretty solid work, I can't find anything in it which is an issue. Afro  ( Not a Terrible Joke ) - Afkatk 10:43, 20 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. I'm afraid the lead map File:Dfwrailmap2.1.png is useless at the resolution in this article, and it won't help to increase the size (unless it's made wayy to large). The map's alt text "Diagram illustrating transit lines and stations as described in the text" is useless as well. If the map is summarizing an important part of the article that is not immediately adjacent to the map, then the map's alt text should provide a similar summary. But anyway, I suggest that the map be replaced by a route diagram; that'd be much easier to read. Eubulides (talk) 02:05, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I removed the map altogether as maps have not been included in all of the FL's of rail stations (BART stations & Caltrain stations as examples of this). Patriarca12 (talk) 03:22, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
