GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct: 

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation: 

Is it verifiable with no original research?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline: 

B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines: 

C. It contains no original research: 

D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism: 

Is it broad in its coverage?
A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic: 

B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style): 

Is it neutral?

Overall:
Pass or Fail: 
On hold for 7 days (starting January 15/18) Pass!

Does the image associated with the "Incidents" add any value to the article? An image of the actual accident would be much better.
The only images I could find were not freely licensed. This shows the site and the damage to the building. Sorry. epicgenius (talk) 15:20, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
Please update the caption of the image to mention that it shows the damage to the building. I would have never guessed thats what the scaffolding was.--Dom497 (talk) 12:47, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
Done. epicgenius (talk) 15:23, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
I still don't think its clear that the scaffolding is there because of the crash. Maybe something like: "The scaffolding on the building was put in place as a result of the crash."--Dom497 (talk) 19:47, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
I clarified it. Is it better now? epicgenius (talk) 19:52, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
Yep! Looks good! --Dom497 (talk) 15:03, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
"Traveling west along Archer Avenue, it passes the Jamaica Center station of the Archer Avenue subway and its Bus Terminal." - "Bus Terminal" shouldn't be capitalized.
Done.
"At the Sutphin Boulevard subway station and Jamaica Long Island Rail Road and Airtrain JFK station..." - One to many "and"'s.
Done.
"The Q50 meanwhile turns east to follow the Bx5..." - What is Bx5?
Another bus route, but I reworded anyway. Too many details about the Q50. epicgenius (talk) 15:20, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
"Prior to 1999, the Q44 ran entirely local between Jamaica, Queens and West Farms, Bronx, and was the only bus service along Main Street in Queens" - Might just be me but the multiple "and"'s throw off the flow of the sentence.
Done.
"On February 15, 1932, North Shore Bus Company began operating a bus service to replace the Long Island Rail Road's Whitestone Branch,[5][12][13] labeled "Q35" - Move refs 5, 12, and 13 to the end of the sentence since they are so close to it. (This is more of suggestion and not a requirement).
I split these up into 2 sentences.
"...this is the routing of the current Q25 bus in the area. It then ran east along 14th Avenue before following the current Q76 and Q15 routes to Whitestone." - Needs a reference.
Done.
Could the infobox be edited to remove the need of the "Q20B operates weekdays only" note?
Done.
Refs 5 and 18 don't seem reliable.
I trusted ref 18 a little more because there is a team of several authors. Anyway, I replaced them both. epicgenius (talk) 15:20, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
I would recommend archiving ref 71 (or linking to an already archived version) as it looks like it could become a deadlink in the near future.
Done. epicgenius (talk) 15:20, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Great work! Passing!--Dom497 (talk) 15:03, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
