Wikipedia:Peer review/London Underground/archive2
This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because… i feel the quality of this article has slipped significantly. I have tagged it with reference tags plus a couple others and left a small review on the talk page. It would be useful to se what could be improved more and where.

Ruhrfisch comments: MIND THE GAP! (sorry, couldn't resist) The semi-automated peer review has a lot of good MOS suggestions. Here are some more:
- For as long as this is, it has few refs and there are several sections marked as needing refs. I would make sure every paragraph has a ref, as does every quote or statistric or extraordinary claim.
- The references that are there need to be formatted to meet WP:CITE - for example internet refs need url, title, publisher, author if known, and date accessed. {{cite web}} helps, as do the other cite templates.
- I think a map of the whole system early on would be very useful.
- The lead is very choppy, but I would fix the whole article and then make sure the Lead summarizes it properly.
- Per MOS, please don't repeat the article title in a header, so Travelling on the London Underground needs to be changed
- The FAR Wikipedia:Featured article review/London Underground/archive1 has some excellent suggestions for improvement
- The German Wikipedia article is featured there and offers some idea on organization that are lacking here. Here is a quick and dirty translation of their Table of Contents:
