Well, this article has been one of my earliest projects, and I think it has come a very long way from nearly a year ago, although I would like to get opinions on the article. It looks pretty comprehensive, but as always, there's plenty of room for improvement. --

So am I. I'm starting on the stations (which are mostly blank) first, then probably on some of the other articles, like the LRTA and the SRTS. --

I could. I made the LRT-MRT list, and I have a feeling MRT-5 in the MRT page is actually Southrail. If it is, I'll change the list title to the SRTS one and add in the so-called MRT-5. And I changed "Notes" to "References". --
Akira12332310:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)reply
Okay, now that I can conclude that MRT-5 is supposedly Northrail, and I can get Southrail stations through other resources, I might start making the SRTS list. --

The stations list has been removed and replaced with info on the station facilities, amenities and what not, while I added a link to the list of stations. --

The naming convention states that second and subsequent words should not be capitalized unless you're making an article that incorporates a proper name. I checked with other lists, and the station lists of the Singapore MRT, the Vancouver Skytrain and
BART in San Francisco capitalize the word "station", while metro station names in other parts of North America and in Hong Kong and Paris don't implement the word at all (instead, the format <station name>(<system>) is used). Mexico City uses a different system, while others just use the station name without "station", leave station in small caps, or don't wikilink station names at all. It's dependent on whether it's part of the name or not, but I'm presuming it is because since LRT stations are named after streets or other landmarks, the station names need to be distinct. --

I'm not sure, but the LRTA named Central Terminal station for some reason because it's at the center of the line (and because it is a terminal station, although Yehey in its LRT guide called it "Central Terminal Arroceros"). Some websites name Monumento and Baclaran stations as the "North Terminal" and the "South Terminal" respectively, but I know Araneta Center-Cubao, as named by the LRTA (as Cubao on their map), does not incorporate the word "terminal", as is the case with Baclaran and Monumento. --

I'm almost certain that the voiceover says Paparating na sa Araneta Center-Cubao terminal station, although perhaps the voiceover was just reading a badly-constructed sentence. --

The LRTA calls it MRT-2, but it's generally considered part of the LRT. It's even on the official LRT system map (which is the map shown in the main article), unlike MRT-3, which it isn't. --

Probably some readers will be confused. Really last: Can you incorporate the info on "Other information" section on other sections? That may seem as trivia. --

Done. I actually noticed that most of the information was redundant with previous sections, while others were removed because they didn't fit in any of the existing sections, and one didn't even involve the LRT (rather, it mostly involved the MRT). I also took the time to reorganize, changing the positions of the future expansion (formerly the planned extensions section) and incidents and accidents sections. I also rewrote the lead section of the future expansion section and switched the positions of some of the references to reflect the reorganization of the article. --

Oh yeah, I also added a safety section to merge the incidents and accidents section with safety and security. I also removed the old lines and system network section since it's on the station list. --
