# Talk:Bras Basah MRT station

some better ones than the two currently displayed in this article.  The station the subject of this article was named the World Transport Building of the Year in 2009.  It therefore deserves some really top class photos.  A good idea of the sorts of photos required can be gleaned from the webside of WOHA, the architects of the station.  There must be a Singapore based Wikieditor who could take some similar photos and upload them.  Bahnfrend (talk) 08:39, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Image:NS logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

What is CC2 at the head of the infobox?
The station code--ZKang123 (talk) 01:45, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
I asked because it's not explained or referenced. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 07:01, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
Well it is used on official maps. See here. Should I have put it in the lead, or just left in the infobox (btw we have just removed station codes from the lead, I'm afraid.)--ZKang123 (talk) 12:47, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
It needs to be somewhere in the article other than just unexplained in the infobox.  And referenced, of course. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 14:45, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
All right, added in the station details services section.--ZKang123 (talk) 00:53, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

"The video also (re-)visits..." this whole sentence reads like a copy/paste from a travel blog.
Eh well, I lifted it from the description.--ZKang123 (talk) 01:45, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
If it's a quote, put it in quote marks.  Otherwise it needs re-writing as it's not encyclopedic in tone. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 07:03, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 Done
Avoid SHOUTING in the refs.

That's all I have on a first pass. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 17:13, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

"glass roof, which is the key feature of the station." glass isn't mentioned anywhere other than in this image caption, so if it's a "key feature" then I would expect it to be covered in the article too. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 07:04, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 Fixed Changed glass roof to the reflective pool that's above the escalators. My oversight--ZKang123 (talk) 12:47, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
Still some SHOUTING in the refs.
