Hi, i will be taking this review, expect comments soon. 1.02 editor (T/C) 10:29, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments

[edit]

Looking through the article at a glance, it has improved since the last GA review. However it is still in relatively bad shape with numerous issues largely pertaining to grammar and sentence structure. Large swathes of the article is monotonous with recurring "On ..... x happened, On ..... y happened" staccato style sentences. Please do try make the sentences flow nicer in the article. There are also some MOS violations such as references in the lead section and inclusion on unneeded trivia. A detailed review may take a while given the state of the article.

Detailed

[edit]

Lead

[edit]
  • please only cite references in the lead if not in the body.
  • 'after partially opening the first phase of the project' to 'after the first phase of the system partially opened.'
  • do add the number of stations along with the system length and number of lines
  • if possible do add the type of topology the system uses.
  • 'between the Government of India'
  • 'between 4:30 and 23:00' please use proper time notation.
  • 'The system has also planned to takeover' I dont think the system is planning, please state who or which organisation is doing the planning.
  • Third largest metro is duplicated, please remove the second mention.

History

[edit]
  • Please clarify where or what 'Beach' is.
  • 'This service is now being continued ' When?
  • certain sentences are unreferenced. If no sources are found please remove them.
  • There is a lot of information on who gets what contract for how much. please only state them if notable. 3 whole paragraphs on that is not acceptable.
  • It is mentioned that the TBMs are to be bought from Russia and China, but later it is mentioned that the TBMs came from germany, China US and Japan. Please clarify.

Network

[edit]
  • ' The northern arm is a 9.051 kilometres (5.624 mi)' is there a need for such a large number of decimal places?
  • 'rupees 3770 crores' change to the same style as with the rest of the article.
  • 'The construction activity is expected to be completed by November 2019' Please update.
  • 'the line is planned to be thrown open for commercial operations' What in the world is this!?
  • 'would be for 104 km (65 mi) spreading across 104 stations.' Please reword this with better english.
  • Change 'suo moto' to 'Sua Sponta' and link it (assuming the have the same meaning)

Operations

[edit]
  • Please cut down on the trivia in the ticketing section as per WP:NOTGUIDE just mentioning what types of tickets there are is enough.
  • 'The depot also houses maintenance workshops...'
  • Make it clear how many depots the system has in total (I am assuming 2 from reading,, do clarify)


Infrastructure

[edit]
  • 'a walkway runs along the length...' length of what?
  • Is it possible that the images in the gallery subsection be moved to the relevant sections instead (e.g. pictures of stock in the rolling stock subsection etc.)
