List of St. Louis MetroLink stations

My first FLC. I used List of Bay Area Rapid Transit stations and List of Vancouver SkyTrain stations as templates for this list. --Millbrooky (talk) 01:09, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Review by SRX (talk · contribs)/Weak oppose - oppose per prose.

• Prose
  • Serving over 67,000 passengers a day, MetroLink is one the largest light-rail systems in the United States in terms of ridership. - "one the?"
  • MetroLink began service July 31, 1993 with the opening of the Red Line segement from North Hanley to 5th & Missouri. - "began service July?" you mean "on July?"
  • The first expansion, known as the St. Clair County Extension, was completed May 5, 2001 with the extension of the Red Line to Belleville, Illinois and, two years later, to Scott Air Force Base. - "was completed May?" you mean "on May?" Also, no need for comma after "and" and "later."
  • The second major expansion, the Cross County Extension completed August 26, 2006 and now known as the Blue Line, added a new branch to the system from the Forest Park-DeBaliviere station to Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 via Clayton, Missouri. - 1)comma after "Cross County Extension." 2)Also, you need to add "was" before "completed." 3)+ you need to add an "on" before the date 4)Reword to The second major expansion, the Cross County Extension, was completed on August 26, 2006, which added the extension of the Blue Line from the Forest Park-Debaliviere and Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 stations in Clayton, Missouri.
  • 28 stations are served by the Red Line and 24 stations are served by the Blue line with 15 stations served by both lines. - comma after Blue line.
  • You need to be consistent, is it "Blue l'ine" or "Blue Line"?
• Tables look fine.--S_RX 15:40, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Figured the prose would be my downfall. Anyways, I made the changes you pointed out. The only thing I did differently was the reword on your fourth point as the Blue Line did not exist prior to the "extension," nor is it technically correct (8 miles, 7 cities traversed). I'm still thinking about better ways to phrase this mouthful. --Millbrooky (talk) 16:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Just notify me when that sentence is fixed :)S_RX 18:31, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

• Support Overall, it looks good. But I think the image should be larger as it is hard to see.—Chris! _ct 19:14, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Also "An extension to Lambert-St. Louis International Airport opened a year later." should be was opened —Chris! _ct 19:16, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Done. I revised the image to make the text larger and I increased its size on the page from 300px to 420px. --Millbrooky (talk) 21:31, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
