Overall: This is a well-written and well-sourced article, ZKang123. The article became GA on 29 March and was nominated on the following day, well within the 7-day period. Since it is a GA, I will skip the source spotchecks. Earwig shows no copyvio. QPQ done. I personally find the hook to be middling. While it is a "first of something" hook, I do not think that an infill station status is particularly interesting to a general audience. I understand why the nominator chose this fact, after reading the article, as much of the content is more technical. But I was considering that perhaps a hook about Andre Wee's artwork Continuity could be generated. I am not opposed to the current hook and will defer to the nominator to see if they wish to proceed with it. Another suggestion would be to consider adding one of the images used in the article to the nomination. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 10:46, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Hmm well, I would propose a few alts then regarding either the construction or the artwork.--ZKang123 (talk · contribs) 10:56, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

ATL1: ... that Continuity by Andre Wee at Hume MRT station presents a stylised cross-sectional view of the historical Former Ford Factory?

ATL2: ... that to complete the civil works for Hume MRT station, construction materials for the station had to be manually transported from Hillview station or Gali Batu Depot during limited engineering hours?

Thanks for your swift response! ALT1 looks good to me! —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 12:43, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
