The history section of the lead can definitely be longer than a sentence.
- Done
Can the track layout show the non-revenue tracks?

And be in the Station layout section instead?

Done The layout does already show the non-revenue tracks, though. epicgenius (talk) 21:05, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you add the pages of ref 5 that are used for this article? Issuu is just awful to use or navigate.
- Done
Refs 7 and 8 need |subscription=yes.
- Done but because |subscription=yes is outdated, |url-access=subscription is used instead. epicgenius (talk) 02:10, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Full citations for references in ref 10.
- Done
Renovations should be mentioned in the history section.
- Done
"entrances/exits" I would switch the / for "and".

Done

Same thing for "located at Wall Street/Broadway and Wall Street/William Street," maybe Wall Street at Broadway and Wall Street at William Street?

Done

"Two staircases to Broad Street between Exchange Place and Beaver Street;[15] a third on the southwestern corner of Exchange Place and Broad Street was closed and sealed." Replace the semicolon with "and" if all three were closed.
- The first two are open. epicgenius (talk) 21:05, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"exit-only staircase here" Here as in the station?
- Fixed
Any updates to the proposed elevators?
- Not as of now. epicgenius (talk) 21:05, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That should be it. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 06:06, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

on ALT0 (couldn't access), on ALT1 and ALT2. Article was promoted to GA status within 7 days of nomination, article is long enough and compliant with policy. Hooks are within the length guidelines, interesting, and supported by the citations. No preference on which hook used. Hog Farm (talk) 19:17, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
