GA Status
I think this article could make it to Good Article status with some work. Any ideas on what needs to be addressed to get it there? --Natural RX 21:18, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
- I have nominated it, see above. --Natural RX 14:52, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
- I'd say it needs a lot of work. For starters the current ridership numbers and the future projections do not align. The information for future projections is clearly out of date. There also seems to be a lot of trivial information. For example, the size of the sections on police and incidents are disproportionate to more relevant sections. There is no real description of the infrastructure. KirksKeyKard (talk) 15:33, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
- WP:GA? does not require perfection. It requires being well written, verifiable, broad in coverage, neutral, stable and illustrated. Ridership numbers are hard to consistently and completely come by; I have emailed GO asking for it but they have pointed me to filing an FOI request. Nonetheless I'm trying to improve it and done the best I can with verified sources for now. Proportion between incidents/security and information in general is sufficient for the broad GA requirement, weight can be honed before going for WP:FA status. As for infrastructure, can you elaborate? I'm open to improving it with your input. --Natural RX 16:21, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
- Please don't take my comments as being definitive, I was expressing a view. Also, I would not consider myself qualified to perform the assessment you as seeking. I would suggest taking a look at similar articles for other transit operators and see whether they have sections that this article does not. It simply serves as a comparison, and might give some ideas as to where this article can be improved and to align with similar articles. KirksKeyKard (talk) 16:52, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa Go Stations - DRT Connecting Buses
Hi,
I have updated the Pickering GO Station to update the recent bus schedule changes that happened as of May 4, 2015 from the DRT schedules. But the Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa stations still need work. I can update the articles for Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa at a later date if needed, but if anyone wants to do it before me, please be my guest! Hope you understand and definitely blame DRT's route changes for why I'm tagging the DRT listings for these GO Stations.
Sincerely, Tibbydibby (talk) 02:40, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

GO Green
There is an ongoing discussion on what the "new" primary shade of green used by GO actually is. I invite additional input. --Natural RX 20:37, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
Articles in GO Transit
Many smaller articles in GO Transit compared to many articles across Wikipedia consist of issues.
For example, lack of citations or citations to unreliable sources, poor wording/excessive information, content in improper sections, or information that may be outdated false. I think some changes and/or template notices should be placed across some pages... Thoughts? Toronto501 (talk) 16:38, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
