This article is about the AirTrain, an airport rail link to and from JFK Airport in Queens, New York City. It's short; it only travels between the airport and two nearby railroad/subway stations, where you have to transfer once more to get into Manhattan. The original plans called for the railroad to stretch from Manhattan to JFK Airport, so the transfers were a compromise. The AirTrain's also ridiculously expensive ($5 per trip unless you're riding between two airport terminals, in which case it's free). The article was passed as a Good Article in October. I think I have found all the high-quality and relevant sources about this topic that I can find, so I have nominated this page for Featured Article status. I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback. epicgenius ( talk) 14:10, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
@ Epicgenius:
Amazing work as always. As the Good Article Reviewer of this article, I definitely Support this article.
Not going to comment on all images, just these that might have problems. Of which there apparently aren't any, although I wonder if the logo is really simple enough to not fall under copyright. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk, contributions) 08:55, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
I will be combing through for specific issues, but generally the prose in the article needs some work to be readable to a non-local layman.
More to come if I feel like it, but at the moment I don't think this is up to FA quality given that this is just the lead and some extras. Sounder Bruce 08:20, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
Is the rest of the article better than this? Tony (talk) 04:40, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
Closing comment: This FAC has been open for over 2 months. It attracted a support from the GA reviewer (who unfortunately does not indicate how this article meets the FA (rather than GA) criteria) and one other reviewer. SounderBruce had some issues with the article, as did Tony1 (albeit nothing major after the lead). I think this far into the nomination, we need more support than this, and we still seem a little way from a consensus to promote. Therefore I will archive this shortly. It can be renominated after the usual two-week waiting period, and it is fine to ping those who reviewed this FAC when the second nomination opens. Sarastro ( talk) 22:10, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
