List of Santa Clara VTA Light Rail stations
I am nominating this list because I think it fulfills the FL criteria.— Chris!  c t 19:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

 * VTA light rail is one of the largest light rail systems in the United States in terms of ridership. - Ranked #14, I don't believe this sentence is accurate. To the contrary, I believe VTA light rail has been roundly ridiculed for its anemic ridership. --Millbrooky (talk) 16:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sentence removed— Chris!  c t 17:03, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Serving over 32,978 passengers a day - VTA light rail serves more passengers than the exact number of passengers it serves? While technically correct as the latest APTA report says VTA is serving 34,000 passengers per day, perhaps it would be better to just say 32,000 or "as of FY 2007." --Millbrooky (talk) 17:23, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Looks pretty good - Comments Boissière (talk) 21:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The first two sentences are slightly difficult to read with their repetitions of "Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority" - there is a third "Santa Clara" too. You also have "light rail" twice close together in the first sentence. Perhaps you could have some other facts (e.g. total system length) as a second sentence to break it up a bit.
 * The system history summary is pretty good but what does jar is describing a new extension as being built "toward X station". To me it gives the impression that the station was sitting there waiting for the light rail tracks to be built to it. I think that simply replacing "toward" by "to" would work.
 * "The system currently operated 62 stations" - should be "operates" or more simply "has" as I am not sure that a system can operate things.
 * In the table I don't think that the "Lines" column should be sortable as quite a lot of cells contain more than one element.
 * It would be nice if, in the photograph captions, the station depicted was linked to. I am not sure that "station platform" and "tramway tracks" need to be linked. The latter one is especially confusing as the system is described as "light rail" and not a tramway. The phraseology "the X station" also seems strange to me but I think that this is more of an AmEng thing.
