A 19 year old man or 19 year old woman?? We already know the person is a teenager by the age.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clementi1965 (talk • contribs) 16:37, 24 January 2008 (UTC) 
- Did this accident really happen? Didn't notice any news about it. And furthermore LRT services don't start that early, at 5am.- martin (talk) 16:21, 25 May 2008 (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.

#### Comments
"free regular and bridging bus services", "The repair works were completed by 11:49am" - minor paraphrasing required.
 Fixed
"5:45 am on Sundays" - not required, too much detail.
 Done
Needs further trimming. Day specific timings not required, just mention the average or the weekday time.
Use 24 hour format and mention the timezone.
Rather not, since the context is in Singapore anyway--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
$166.4 million, which country's dollar?
Singapore dollar. Added link--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
"Passenger Service Centre" - capitalised case not required.
 Done
Expand the lead a little bit.
 Done
The station opened ... 20 June that year - if possible, move to another para. (MOS:PARA)
Expanded the para to include the fact it starts to serve the West loop in 2005.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
Some citations are not properly formatted. Like [15]. Add author's name etc. Also, remove these "LTA | News room" from the citations.
 Doing.... Not all citations have authors. Will fix the book links as well.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 Done fixed citations--ZKang123 (talk) 04:04, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
Need more details about the "Art-in-Transit Programme". Provide wikilink or a note.
 Done Added note--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
Replace "Media related to Sengkang MRT/LRT Station at Wikimedia Commons" with {{Commons category}}.
Will prefer the inline, as that has already been introduced by @Davey2010:--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
"Sengkang NEL MRT platforms" I would suggest changing the caption to "MRT platforms of the station".
 Done
Add other East loop stations on the SKLRT opened along with this in the body also.
 Done added footnote--ZKang123 (talk) 04:03, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
Doesn't feel relevant; the article Sengkang LRT line will provide such information.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
"The LRT station opened on 18 January 2003 along with the other East loop stations on the SKLRT" - since this is mentioned in the lead, it should be in the body too. ❯❯❯   S A H A
The Bus Interchanges in lead - also add them to the body.
 Done Added location section.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
Aljunied, Bishan, Khatib, Kranji and Yew Tee - wikilink them.
 Done
"The lifts were ... by end 2013." - I don't think year of installation is significant.
 Done
The last para of Public artwork section has only 1 citation. I would suggest adding more.
There's only one book thus far detailing the thought process behind it. I'm not sure if there are, but I will check.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
What is Kampung?
Wiki-linked. Malay name for villages.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
4 platforms, 4 tracks, 2 island platforms - Add this in the body with source.
There isn't really an official source on this, sadly.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
You can use image citations as nothing else is available. ❯❯❯   S A H A
Make a separate heading for the incident, above notes and refs.
What do you mean? May need further clarification.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
Move the "incidents" section from "History" to a new section at the end (below "Station details").
Not required. ❯❯❯   S A H A
wikilink "interchange station" in the first line.
 Done
add that the station is elevated, in the body.
 Done
The station has four levels, and 3 platform levels. This might create confusion. Add what the other level is.
Disabled access citation needed.
"The station is connected to compass heights and others" - this is mentioned twice (in 'location' and 'design'). Remove one of them.
"includes improved barrier-free access to the station, new dual-speed escalators leading to the platforms, and an additional lift for the MRT, LRT and mezzanine levels of Sengkang station." - While spot checking, found this part is same as the citation no. [14].
No need to mention "ambitious programme", as almost all govt. (even in my country) say the programmes ambitious. Instead you can mention the programme name.

#### Further comments by Epicgenius
is within walking distance to the Compassvale Bus Interchange. - should probably be "within walking distance of"
 Done
developed under an ambitious programme by the Government - Either the Singapore government could be linked here, or "Government" should be lowercase.
 Done
The station begun to serve the West loop - "The station began..." or "The station had begun...". In this case, "began" is better.
 Done
In 2018, it was announced that the station will be further upgraded which includes improved barrier-free access to the station, new dual-speed escalators leading to the platforms, and an additional lift for the MRT, LRT and mezzanine levels of Sengkang station as well as expanding the current LRT train platform to create a more spacious area for commuters by 2022. - I'd split this into 2 sentences, after "the MRT, LRT and mezzanine levels of Sengkang station".
 Done
The station is located in Sengkang New Town[20], located along Sengkang Square.[1] - put punctuation before references, and I would remove both instances of "located".
 Done
The MRT/LRT station was the first such station on the MRT network to have all three modes of transport seamlessly connected. - "Seamlessly connected" sounds strange. I would suggest something like "The MRT/LRT station was the first intermodal station on the MRT network for all three modes of transport". epicgenius (talk) 16:53, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

#### Further comment by Dave
Someone pinged me inregards to Commons being inline - Generally speaking I prefer inline when there's barely any external links - A box template is useful over inline when there's a lot of links as the reader may miss it with there being loads of links whereas that wouldn't be the case with 1 or 2 links,
Personally I see no reason why this should be changed and I'm rather miffed as to why a Commons link is part of a GA criteria....–Davey2010Talk 21:00, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
