I'm aware of the two remaining issues but I haven't gotten around to give a proper reply.
Concerning the "third infill station" claim, The Straits Times did mention Hume as the "fourth" infill, but it's in error given there were only Dover and Canberra before it, and it was talking about Brickland as the fourth which would be completed in 2034. I've messaged The Straits Times about it.
Also about the owner, I felt this is the case of "The Sky is blue". The LTA is our transport agency. Of course it owns our rail assets. [1].--ZKang123 (talk· contribs) 02:25, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@ZKang123: - regarding the ownership, there was a page linked from the link you provided. This page says LTA owns the rail infrastructure. I think this page is sufficient to back up the claim. starship.paint (talk / cont)07:05, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the third infill station, the Straits Times link you provided is sufficient and establishes WP:DUE. No correction is needed. Hume was completed before Brickland, as the article notes that Brickland is expected to finish in 2034. The station will take longer than usual to build because it was not planned for during the 1980s so Hume is the third (according to time built). starship.paint (talk / cont)07:09, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but the sentence could have been misunderstood that Low Yen Ling was one of the residents. I've rephrased it accordingly while keeping it as one sentence. starship.paint
However, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) stated ... Additionally, the LTA cited ... - when? starship.paint
I don't think it's necessary to state when, since the citations gave the dates. I don't also wish to repeat information.--ZKang123 (talk· contribs) 11:52, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, now that you gave the years at the start of the paragraph, this is less of an issue. starship.paint
veteran contractor interviewed by The Straits Times - when? starship.paint
The Construction Plus Asia source is dead and not archived. Any other source for the claim? Most of the works had to be conducted at night as the station was constructed on the operational DTLstarship.paint
Reference o701 says It began as an underground shell structure that was completed in 2014. The article could use that. Same source, also useful, the bolded part: Workers had to modify the station’s fire compartment “to isolate the shell station... from DTL operations”, LTA said. This was done to protect the tracks in case of a fire in the construction zone.starship.paint
two exits serving various landmarks including... - the SBS Transit source also says it serves Bukit Batok Nature Park, which we do have an article on. starship.paint
The station is also close to various condominiums including The Hillside and Parc Palais - the source for this is inadequate, it is a letter to a newspaper, and such letters may not be accurate. A better source is needed. starship.paint
The station is named after Hume Industries (Far East) Limited, which once operated in the area from 1941 to 1968 - this may very well be true, but the source fails to back the claim that the station is named after the company. The source does not mention the station at all. Likewise, for the following sentences, Founded by the brothers Ernest James and Walter Reginald Hume in Adelaide, Australia,[37] the company was known in Chinese as 谦工业公司 (pinyin: Qiān Gōngyè Gōngsī) - I can't find mention of the station in the two sources? starship.paint
Hid this information.
for active mobility users - what's "active mobility users"? We could probably just delete these four words. starship.paint
and the third infill station built after the Canberra and Dover stations - this is also probably true, but the problem is that the two sources do not mention Hume station, which means that this information is possibly not important enough for Hume station. It needs a source that discusses all three stations, Hume, Canberra and Dover, to establish importance. starship.paint
I am disputing whether this content is WP:DUE. For that, there should be at least one reliable source stating the content (third infill station). Is there one? starship.paint
Settled in the Comment section. starship.paint
Lede
Settled. starship.paint
I don't think the Former Bukit Timah Fire Station is worth mentioning in the lede. The source says it is defunct. It is not mentioned in the Details section and not highlighted as prominent in this source. You can replace it with The Rail Mall in the lede. starship.paint
Fitting-out works began in February 2021 - again, it is unclear to me what "fitting-out works" mean. Please rephrase this. starship.paint
Well, basically from a bare station box and then fitting out with facilities.--ZKang123 (talk· contribs)
Infobox
Settled. starship.paint
Well, everything in the infobox needs to be sourced. Particularly, ComfortDelGro Corporation needs to go if no sources mention it, the Platform levels requires a source, and "Electrified Yes" - the parameter is meant to be a date, not "Yes". starship.paint
Two things. (1) Does your source say "SBS Transit DTL Pte Ltd"? I did not see that particular name. Some Googling reveals that the name "SBS Transit DTL Pte Ltd" is no longer in use. starship.paint
(2) Is there a source that cites that the Land Transport Authority owns Hume station? starship.paint
There's some jargon (infill station, fitting-out, retrofitting, traction power, condominiums, National Service) that are alleviated by wiki-links, and other jargon (shell station / shell structure) that I feel is alleviated by earlier explanation (structural provisions)
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
Overall: This is a well-written and well-sourced article, ZKang123. The article became GA on 29 March and was nominated on the following day, well within the 7-day period. Since it is a GA, I will skip the source spotchecks. Earwig shows no copyvio. QPQ done. I personally find the hook to be middling. While it is a "first of something" hook, I do not think that an infill station status is particularly interesting to a general audience. I understand why the nominator chose this fact, after reading the article, as much of the content is more technical. But I was considering that perhaps a hook about Andre Wee's artwork Continuity could be generated. I am not opposed to the current hook and will defer to the nominator to see if they wish to proceed with it. Another suggestion would be to consider adding one of the images used in the article to the nomination. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜10:46, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
ATL2: ... that to complete the civil works for Hume MRT station, construction materials for the station had to be manually transported from Hillview station or Gali Batu Depot during limited engineering hours?
