Hello, I'm User:John M Wolfson, and I'll be your GA reviewer today. Here are the Good Article Criteria and how I think this article stacks up to them:

Well-written: I have removed some extraneous stuff in the lead, but with that I think this looks good. Nice job! Y
Verifiable/No OR: If not an imposition, could you cite for me the assertion (that I deleted from the lead) that the area is part of Station 58 FDNY EMS? I think the information given in the Fire safety section might imply it but I think something explicit would be better.
Broad: This works well, IMO. It addresses a lot about Canarsie. Y
Neutral: I see no POV stuff. Y
Stable: I see one isolated instance of vandalism in the past 50 edits, which was quickly reverted. Y
Media: Well-illustrated and everything's free. Y

Just fix that one thing about the fire stations and I think this is good to go. John M Wolfson (talk) 03:27, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you re-added stuff to the lead that I had taken out. I can see the Community Board stuff being useful, but is it practice for NYC neighborhoods to be primarily identified by their police and fire stations to the extent that it's part of the lead per MOS:LEAD?

John M Wolfson, thanks for the review. I have removed the FDNY EMS stuff from the lead (EMS is notoriously difficult to cite reliably) but I did restore the police precinct, community board, and fire station. epicgenius (talk) 13:11, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have rearranged stuff in the lead, but now that everything's to my satisfaction I am passing this GAN. Congratulations! John M Wolfson (talk) 17:56, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
