hello! thanks for the request for the GA review =D i was away for the most part... and j*mf really forked up a lot (by disabling access to some stuff) but i will make it work (somehow)

• Violation unlikely (7.4%). However, this is without Google search, so I will be doing another check >:D

• East-West Line → East-West Line (EWL)
  • Done
• Mention that Simei MRT station is wheelchair accessible in the lead.
  • I don't think that's necessary for the lead though...
    • I kind of put it in the lead section because the wheelchair accessible thing is not mentioned in body.
      • So if I add it to the body, then I don't have to mention it in the lead?
        • Everything in the lead must be mentioned in the body.
          • Added it, used the map and the LTA article
• Also, after looking at Punggol Coast MRT station, should I put the pinyin and transliteration in the infobox instead of the lead? Icepinner (formerly Imbluey2). Please ping me so that I get notified of your response 13:54, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• FN 8 is formatted incorrectly.
  • Whoops! Fixed it
• 15,000 square metres (18,000 sq yd) of land between Jalan Angin Laut and Sunbird Road was acquired in March 1985 to build viaducts to the station. → 15,000 square metres (18,000 sq yd) of land between Jalan Angin Laut and Sunbird Road were acquired in March 1985 to build viaducts to the station.
  • Done
• Construction of the station began in May 1985. → Construction of the station began in May 1986.
  • Done
• tracks works → track works
  • Done
• HELPFUL FOR FA (NOT MANDATORY): then Minister of State for the Ministry of Communications and Ministry of Trade and Industry seems a bit lengthy and unpleasant to read.
  • Simplified it to "Ministries of Communications and Trade and Industry"
• with them proceeding to ride a train to Pasir Ris station → before riding a train with them to Pasir Ris station
  • Done
    • Missing two words... but that should be an easy fix
      • Done
• Why are there brackets in (which became muddy when it rained as well as posing a risk for the elderly and young children during the night)? You might also want to further paraphrase it.
  • Rearranged it, got rid of the brackets
• commuter without umbrellas → commuters without umbrellas
  • Done
• Place (Block 248). in front of FN 17.
  • FN 17 doesn't explicitly mention the building being Block 248, it was only revealed in the follow-up letter. But I moved the source to the end of the paragraph so done
• land used was to be developed by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) when?
  • Added it, it was mentioned in the source but I didn't add it (facepalm)

• Is FN 19 the best source you can find?
  • That's the only source on the measurements and stuff. I removed it, though I'm still keeping it in the footnote for the time.
• Add an "at" behind about 7:50 pm
  • Done
• Add a comma after door level
  • Got rid of it, see above
• the railing of the viaduct was lower than the door level, as well as its length between the door was less than 30 centimetres (0.98 ft), which was "less than the length of a stride. → the railing of the viaduct was lower than the door level. Furthermore, the length between the door was less than 30 centimetres (0.98 ft), which was "less than the length of a stride"
  • Got rid of it, see above
• Not sure if note c is necessary, going a bit out of detail. Ditto for d.
  • You're right, seems irrelevant to the article. Got rid of it
• demand of → demand for
  • Done
• As with most of the elevated stations along the East–West line, the station was initially built without platform screen doors. is unsourced
  • Removed it
• After several successful tests at Jurong East, Yishun and Pasir Ris stations is unsourced.
  • The sources don't mention that there were tests in those stations, so I removed it
• part of → part of a
  • Done
• passengers service → passenger service
  • Done
• A $17 million contract → two S$17 million [USD conversion template here] contracts
  • done

• FN 40 also have last train and first train timings too. Also, how did you manage to derive decimals from FN 40?
  • Misread the timings lol. Did it

• Overall, well done! I can see the hard effort you put into growing the article into what it is today. Good luck with future GAs (or even FAs)!
  • Thanks :D
