  • Symbol possible vote.svg QPQ review appears to be required before this can move forward. North America1000 19:57, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the reminder. I will do a QPQ soon. epicgenius (talk) 19:58, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
  • I haven't forgotten about this. I will give myself time for QPQ shortly. epicgenius (talk) 03:06, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg QPQ has been performed. Full review needed. North America1000 23:43, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg This is a newly-promoted GA. It is long enough and was new enough when nominated. Approving ALT0 which is interesting and well-cited. The article is neutral and I detected no close paraphrasing or other policy issues. QPQ done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:13, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping Are we sure about this wording? Shouldn't it say that one cannot go directly back? Vanamonde (talk) 09:40, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg I agree that ALT1 is better. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:56, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
  • Template:Re There's another ALT1 above. I'll rename the original one to ALT1A. I like the new ALT1 better as well. epicgenius (talk) 15:32, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I'm having trouble finding the fact about not being able to return directly to Manhattan in the article. Could you point it out to me? It's also unclear why you're talking about going "to the Aqueduct Racetrack" when the article is about the Aqueduct Racetrack Station. Yoninah (talk) 00:04, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
  • Template:Re Sure. The article says Template:Tq It doesn't mention Manhattan directly, but northbound in this case is the Manhattan-bound platform, as stated elsewhere: Template:Tq Also, it may also be a little confusing, but "Aqueduct Racetrack" is also the name of the station. When referring to the station specifically it is "Aqueduct Racetrack Station", but when it's implied that this is a station it's simply "Aqueduct Racetrack" per official subway map. I chose to say "Aqueduct Racetrack" instead of "Aqueduct Racetrack station" in the hook because that makes it more interesting, given that Aqueduct Racetrack is actually a notable destination in itself (independent of the subway station).[1] epicgenius (talk) 01:20, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping Yes, I saw all that, and I made that assumption that you're misleading readers a little by calling it "Aqueduct Racetrack". But I believe something needs to be said (and cited) about trains not returning directly to Manhattan, per WP:DYK#Eligibility criteria Cited hook 3b. Yoninah (talk) 01:33, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping Thank you for clarifying that in the article. I believe the other editors want to emphasize "directly back", since you can probably go to Manhattan in a roundabout way. Is ALT1 okay with you? Yoninah (talk) 17:18, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg Hook cites now in place. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 20:57, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
