Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on June 19, 2016.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that in preparation for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, three stations will be added to the initial sixteen stations in the G:link, a light rail system serving the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia?

Underground stop

[edit]
Glebe tunnel. This definitely qualifies as travelling underground.

I have removed the claim that the GCUH stop is the only underground tram stop in Australia. I know this claim came from (what should be) a reliable source - but it simply isn't true! While one could nitpick about whether the stop is truly underground - quite a lot of daylight gets in on one side from what I've seen, I'm happy to accept that the stop is "underground enough" to qualify. The thing is, if GCUH is considered suitably underground, then there are two stops in Sydney that should also be "underground enough" and two more that may also qualify.

The article is indisputably incorrect, because it claims "today marked the first time a tram has gone underground in Australia in 55 years", but there are several short tunnels on the original section of Sydney's line and one substantial tunnel on its first extension - these were used by trams years before the GCLR was built.

I hope this provides a suitable explanation as to why I have deleted a sourced statement. Gareth (talk) 05:00, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How belligerent! I would have thought this was a case where the Wikipedia:Ignore all rules policy applies. I haven't yet been able to find a RS to prove that the stations are underground. However, here's a reliable source that proves the claim "today marked the first time a tram has gone underground in Australia in 55 years" is incorrect and that the article is therefore unreliable: http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/heritageapp/ViewHeritageItemDetails.aspx?ID=4801122 Gareth (talk) 23:34, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Attractions nearby

[edit]

This column should be renamed Notable landmarks or something similar and cut back to only reflect these. Threshold for inclusion should be that it is notable enough to justify a stand-alone article, i.e. not one linking to a parent company article like Timezone. Also should be within close proximity, Seaworld for example is over 1km away. Think this [1] is closer to what is required.

Minor places and attractions, Southport RSL, Jetpack Flyboard Adventures, King Tutt's Putt Putt etc, should be removed. This isn’t meant to be a tourist guide. Mcz7 (talk) 04:40, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mcz7, the column is named "Attractions nearby" as per the official G:link website. I invite you to please join the discussion with Kerry on the FLC page to decide the threshold for inclusion. Thank you, New9374 (talk) 08:17, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Where is Stage 4?

[edit]

This article mentions a Stage 4 and implies it's to the airport, but there's no actual content about it? Jpatokal (talk) 07:09, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
