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
Hi Icepinner, I am going to review this over the next few days as part of the October 2025 GAN backlog drive. I am quite busy so I expect to leave comments tomorrow or Friday (UK time). JuniperChill (talk) 16:19, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Ok, thanks! Icepinner  00:26, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
I don't see many changes necessary for this to be a GA. I have made a bold edits replacing "will" with "would" To help me, I am also looking at Talk:Redhill MRT station/GA1. --JuniperChill (talk) 08:26, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
@JuniperChill: have addressed all points. Icepinner  23:23, 4 October 2025 (UTC)


### Lead section
taxi should be lowercase (infobox)
Done. Icepinner  13:21, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
A labour dispute occurred between the contractor, Sumitomo Construction, and its construction workers - I'm a little confused. Is Sumitomo the contractor? Perhaps this should be reworded
Reworded. Icepinner  13:21, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
Platform screen doors should be linked
Done. Icepinner  13:21, 3 October 2025 (UTC)


### History
two bus stops were replaced by a new bus stop - reword to two bus stops were replaced by a new one to reduce redundancy
Done. Icepinner  13:21, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
The station was installed with high-volume low-speed fans by the first quarter of 2013. - also should be added, seeing as the station received that alongside PSDs earlier.
It's already there. Icepinner  13:21, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
The works were completed in August 2015 for Queenstown and Commonwealth, with both stations having two exits and elevators for those bridges. - Firstly, since Singapore was part of the British Empire, shouldn't it be lift instead of elevator? Second, to clarify, is it two exits and two lifts?
Changed it to lifts. Regarding the second point, it's a bit unclear;  the source doesn't mention the number of lifts, and Queenstown's map doesn't help as well. This source may have some potential, but I'm not particularly sure how to proceed here. Icepinner  13:21, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
That's alright with me. If sources don't mention the number of lifts, its fine to not say the number, as per WP:TRUTH. JuniperChill (talk) 09:23, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
Removed then. Icepinner  23:23, 4 October 2025 (UTC)


### Details
The station is on the central reserve of Commonwealth Avenue - replace with and link to central reservation
Done. Icepinner  23:20, 4 October 2025 (UTC)


### Spotcheck
Now I'm going to check eight sources according to this revision. This may take a while as I'm not used to reading physical newspapers and might not be able to use Ctrl+F. JuniperChill (talk) 19:43, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

3 - this one points to Redhill instead of Queenstown
Replaced link
 8
 24
 30
 32
34 - "When it opened, it had the station number of W5" - source says W6
@JuniperChill: Well actually, Queenstown was known as Commonwealth, and Commonwealth was Queenstown before their names were swapped in March 1987. However, I fear that concerns will be raised about the source's date, as this was published before the station was opened. This source published much later confirms that it still uses the same station code as designated. Icepinner  12:51, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
Ah ok then. It confuses me when names get swapped around. I'm going to promote the article to GA now! JuniperChill (talk) 14:08, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
44 - AGF, couldn't view as its sourced to a book
 47
