Comments

  • "originally opened in 1844 as one of the original" probably don't the first "originally".
    •  Done
  • "close ... closure ... closure..." in one sentence.
    •  Done Split the sentence for better flow.
  • Is the current "closure" described as "temporary" then if there's a "permanent" closure coming next month?
    •  Done
  • It's an odd one this, because the station is still there and still situated where it is, so there's a tense issue, e.g. "Silver Hill station was located at" it still is located there...
    • Definitely an odd one. I'm inclined to keep the past tense, as it's not likely to be well recorded when the shelter is removed and so on.
  • " for kiss and ride purposes" shouldn't that be hyphenated when used adjectively?
    •  Done
  • "for just six vehicles" no need for "just".
    •  Done
  • "some B&M service" plural? services?
    • I think "service" is current here. On that date, the MBTA began subsidizing all lines operated by the B&M - but only the inner portion.
  • "February 1, 1981 due" comma after 1981.
    •  Done
  • "the Silver Hill Historic District" overlinked.
    • I think it's worth the second link - the reader may not expect the development and the historic district to be one and the same, given the number of historic districts with articles rightfully separate from the eponymous villages.
  • "daily boardings" worth clarifying this is weekday daily boardings?
    •  Done
  • "Hastings was the lowest-ridership" do you mean Silver Hill?
    •  Done
  • "the COVID-19 pandemic," link to the US article.
    •  Done
  • "Hastings, Silver Hill, and " why not list Silver Hill first?
    •  Done
  • ""On December 14, " new para so I'd include year.
    •  Done I changed the paragraph split when adding some new sentences, so it's now in a paragraph with 2020 in the first sentence.
  • Ref 17, 20 etc: avoid SHOUTING.
    •  Done
  • "'MBTA - Silver Hill" en-dash not hyphen.
    •  Done

Improved to Good Article status by Pi.1415926535 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:42, 23 March 2021 (UTC).

  • Y Article is long enough (5011 characters), is a GA (since 17 March 2021, contrary to DYKcheck tool which incorrectly says 1 January 2001), nominated in time (became GA 17 March, nominated 23 March), and article is within policy
  • Y Hook is short enough, interesting, in the article and well-cited. I changed the link for Captain Kidd to bypass the redirect
  • Y QPQ done
  • Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:43, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
