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)[reply]
  • 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".
  • "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?
    •  Partly done I've clarified that the 33.8M was the main construction contract. The accounting for the remaining money isn't clear - it may have been for smaller contracts or work done internally, and/or the main contract may have came in under the expected budget.
  • 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)[reply]

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
