Comments

• Why is the name in infobox written in caps?  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  14:55, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
  • That style is applied to all MBTA station articles to match the style of actual station signage. There's been some back-and-forth about that; I don't have a particular opinion, but it's probably outside the scope of a single GA.
    • Maybe you can write is like, "Church Street station (stylised as CHURCH STREET) is an under-construction"  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  19:19, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
      • I don't think that's necessary; it's only stylized that way on station signs and not in sources. Again, this is a discussion that would affect over 300 MBTA station articles, so it's not really in scope here.
• Replace the bolded words with " "  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  14:55, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
  •  Partly done I left Acushnet station bold per MOS:BOLDREDIRECT. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:10, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
• Wikilink the first New Bedford, Boston etc. words in the body.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  14:58, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
  •  Done
• Change citation [8] to sentence case (MOS:ALLCAPS)  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  15:02, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
  •  Done
• Disabled access mentioned in infobox, but not in body. Also it doesnt have citation.
  •  Done Added to the station layout section, as it's covered in the existing citation.
• "The former Acushnet station, located..." - this introduction of Acushnet station feels a bit abrupt. While reading for the first time, I was unable to find its connection with Church Street station.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe 
  •  Done Added a couple words to clarify.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Just a suggestion: Maybe add that the station is in Massachusetts. This would add a small bit of context, and the hook is on the shorter end as it is. Steelkamp (talk) 10:09, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

I generally prefer to keep hooks short - my take is that a little mystery can pique interest - but I appreciate your perspective. Thanks for the review! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:20, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Name of station

The article is never clear on when it was first named Church Street Station or when it was changed out to what. Wis2fan (talk) 03:47, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Originally to be on the west side of the tracks, the planned station was moved to the east side and renamed North New Bedford in 2019. A construction contract was issued in 2020; that year, the station was again renamed as Church Street. ... In 2019, the planned site was moved across the tracks due to drainage and land acquisition issues, with the name changed to "North New Bedford" for clarity. ... In 2020, the planned name was changed to "Church Street". Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:54, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
