• ... that High Street is actually low?

• Reviewed: HMS Revenge.

Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk), Tdorante10 (talk), and Kew Gardens 613 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 15:28, 1 July 2016 (UTC).

• Raised recently to GA status. Long enough, neutral, well-cited. No apparent issues of paraphrase or copyvio.
• Hook OK for length, cited, and is catchy enough. I am just a bit chary about the wording - just calling it 'low' begs the question as to whether it is notable for being low, e.g. lower than other stations - which we are not told. So better might be "70 ft. low" which is unarguable and clearly and specifically cited.
• QPQ awaited.
• Think about the hook? - Smerus (talk) 14:44, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

• @Smerus: Thanks for the review. I will have the QPQ done by tomorrow. In the meantime, how about this alt-hook? Kylo, Rey, Finn, BB-8, Poe, Han, Chewie, and Leia Consortium (talk) 14:03, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

• ALT1: ... that High Street is actually 70 feet (21 m) below ground?

• I greatly prefer Alt1, and would recommend promotion on that basis when you have completed the QPQ. Best, - Smerus (talk) 14:11, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

• @Smerus: I have done my quid pro quo. Thanks, Kylo, Rey, Finn, BB-8, C3PO, R2D2, Poe, Han, Chewie, and Leia Consortium (talk) 00:31, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
