Lead is inadequate, it should cover some of the history of the line and perhaps even some of the pertinent points of the layout.
- I added information from the history section. What do you think is pertinent in the layout section?--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:40, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm not sure I'm the expert on that. I tend to include something from all the major sections and the layout section is probably the largest in the article. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 17:09, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Kew Gardens 613, probably include that it's an express station with four tracks and two platforms. epicgenius (talk) 14:51, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the street address of the station referenced?
- In the exits section, where it says Outside fare control, there is a token booth and staircases going up to all four corners of Church and McDonald Avenues.
  - Zip code? The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 17:08, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
" Line.[4][6][5] " order.
- Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:40, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Curiously, Kensington is not mentioned in the main part of the article at all, just the lead and infobox.
- This is the practice for all other subway articles.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:40, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not for Wikipedia articles though. Shouldn't be anything in the lead that isn't in the main body of the article? The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 17:05, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - It should be. I'll add it now. epicgenius (talk) 14:51, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is MTA?
- Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:40, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't overlink Ditmas.
- Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:40, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have for now. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 16:04, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for taking this up. I have addressed some of these and will get to the remainder of the issues already noted.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:40, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Zip code isn't referenced anywhere, but it's not a dealbreaker. If you could do that it'd be great. But I'm passing the article in any case. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 10:44, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
