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".
- "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?
- 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

Pi.1415926535, yes, I've just had limited time. Two minor comments above, but passing now. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:17, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
