GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Minor prose tweaks noted below
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
Earwig negative, spot checks on Snow and the Newspapers.com sources turned up no concerns about close para/accuracy.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Suggested tweaks

The sentence "Originally granted..." feels confusing, as it doesn't address the charter until midway through the sentence. Maybe move the charter up, as in "The charter, originally granted, blah blah"
"Following the assumption of control by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad-controlled New England Railroad" It's slightly ambiguous as to what they took control of
"both Connecticut's winter weather and swampy ground" don't think you need the word both here but I won't die about it

That's it! Nothing to prevent a pass. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 16:28, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
