Lead
- What is the Box District?
- Done added "neighborhood" to clarify
- "Plans for the Urban Ring Project called for a busway along the former Grand Junction Branch, but without a station in the Box District." — This seems to contradict the article, which says "The MBTA planned to reuse the right-of-way for the Urban Ring Project ... Under draft plans released in 2008, a dedicated busway was to be built from Griffin Way west through Chelsea along the right-of-way."
- Done The Urban Ring was to have a station at Griffin Way - 1,700 feet to the southeast and outside the Box District neighborhood. I've clarified that in the text.
- The lead doesn't say where this station provides access to—if you go to the station, where can you take a bus to?.
- I've wikilinked the service in the lede. I don't think more details are needed - the article is about the station, not the service.
Infobox
- Gerrish Avenue is mentioned here, but not in the body.
- That's just a qualifier for the address, since it doesn't have a formal street address; it's not really relevant in the prose.
- "near the north end of Highland Street" (body) has a bit of tension with "Highland Street near Gerrish Avenue" (infobox). One says near Highland, the other implies on Highland (and near Gerrish). --Usernameunique (talk) 18:17, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
- That's just a qualifier for the address, since it doesn't have a formal street address; it's not really relevant in the prose.
- Silver Line can take a link.
- Done
- Bellingham Square is barely mention in the article, and, when mentioned, it is part of a plan that you say was not put into action.
- The adjacent stations navbox is primarily for navigation and to list services; very often, the adjacent stations aren't mentioned in the prose at all.
Station layout
- Suggest renaming section "Layout".
- "Station layout" is pretty standard - it's consistent with the Eastern Avenue station and Bellingham Square station articles, both already GA.
- "Chelsea" should be "Chelsea, Massachusetts".
- See MOS:REPEATLINK - given that the lede and TOC are both short, and the station layout section is unlikely to be a link target, I don't find the repeat link (or state name) necessary.
- Silver Line should take a link.
- See above.
- accessible could be linked to accessibility.
- Done
- Is there another access point for the side that doesn't parallel the Chelsea Greenway, or does one just walk across?
- Done Clarified on both points.
History
- Can this be broken into subsections?
- I don't see a need - it's five short paragraphs, and the companion articles linked above have similar length sections.
- Link "abandoning" to abandoned railway?
- Done
- MBTA hasn't been introduced in the body.
- Done
- "The project was shelved in January 2010" — This sounds as if the plan for the individual station was shelved, whereas the lead makes it sound as if the entire Urban Ring Project was shelved.
- Done Clarified
- "The Environmental Impact Report was issued in March 2014." — Did it say anything of note?
- Nothing that's not discussed by other sources - it's just a major milestone in planning.
- "$82.5 million in state funding for construction ... A $33.8 million construction contract" — What was the remaining $50 million used for?
- Can anything be said about what happened after opening in 2018?
- Nothing of note - there haven't been any substantial service changes.
- What does "opened through" mean? --Usernameunique (talk) 18:17, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
References
- Publishers can take links.
- Done
- #2 — ISBN should be hyphenated. Also, publisher location missing.
- Done
- #4 — Suggest "name-list-style = amp" parameter.
- Done
- All URLs should have archived backups, even if the links are still live.
- All live sources have been archived, so the bot will fix them should they go dead. Preemptively adding archive links to stable, live sources isn't necessary.
- The Boston Globe, not Boston Globe. Also, it can be linked.
- Done
