# Talk:El Garces Intermodal Transportation Facility

It looks as though the construction has stalled on the rehabilitation of this Hotel http://www.thedesertstar.com/articles/2011/11/09/news/local/news997.txt Lennny (talk) 21:42, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

There is a new move request which has ramifications to all the Harvey Houses. Please feel free to contribute your thoughts at Talk:Harvey_House_Railroad_Depot#Requested_move. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 14:09, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

### Style
Lead a little long for the length of the article
Lead generally well written, but phrase several stops and starts perhaps a bit too non-encyclopedic for GA (though this arguably a part that can be trimmed anyway)
Original station good
Question - are Spanish missionaries not titled 'Padre' (instead of 'Father')
El Garces subsection otherwise good
Restoration good
There were a few punctuation errors - resolved
Nice work!
Needs attention - lead length and question on terminology


### Coverage
Some excessive coverage in the lead (also per style on MOS:LEADLENGTH) - there are some details that can be cut back to only the main overview. It's well written so I trust that editors/the nominator can identify places to trim effectively
Original station good
El Garces subsection good
Restoration good
The only section is on History, is there no other kind of coverage? Though legacy/impact seem to be incorporated into the history, I'd ask if there might be any appearances in popular culture, for example?
Needs attention - lead work and question on other potential


### Illustration
All images on commons
Good infobox, and suitable use of the collapse for former services
Good use of images, fair amount for length of article
Pass


### Neutrality
Fine
Pass


### Verifiability
Sources good
Everything cited in line
Pass


### Stability
History good
Pass


### Copyright
No apparent copyvio
Commons images
Pass


### Overall
on hold A few things, but a very nice article overall. Kingsif (talk) 07:23, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for taking the review! I combined a couple sentences in the lede, but I don't think there's much more than I can do without it missing out on major summary points. While it's a bit longer than typical for ~1000 words of main text, I don't think 11 sentences in 3 short paragraphs is disastrously long.
I changed Father to Padre to match the source. As for other sections, I don't think there's really anything else to add. Unlike some other stations I've brought to GA, there's not a complex platform configuration nor a laundry list of connecting services. Perhaps because of its remote location, I haven't seen any significant appearances in popular culture or so on. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:18, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the response, that makes it clear. I'll also note here that I saw the request for images on the talk page, but believe any more would be too saturated so I don't find that the images described would improve the article. Bearing in mind, happy to pass this.  Kingsif (talk) 05:37, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
