It is reasonably well written.

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
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 fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Comments:

Where is "Urban Ring Phase 2 FACT SHEET" from, and why is it an RS? I understand it is used only to cite a general description of the project, so not a big deal.
- Done It's from a Massachusetts state agency - I've added that to the citation.
Could the connection to the MBTA bus and the adjoining stations (as shown in the infobox) be also mentioned and referenced in the station layout section?
- Partly done I mentioned and cited the local bus. The adjacent stations are generally treated as a navigation aid; unless there's a particular relation with one of the stations (such as being extremely close, or one a replacement for the other, etc), they don't need to be discussed in the prose.
Link Everett, Massachusetts
- Done
Link Right-of-way (transportation) to avoid confusion with the common legal definition
- Done
Consider linking South Boston
- Done
Link Bellingham Square (or maybe Bellingham Square station? unsure)
- Done

It was a nice read overall, well written, with few issues (mostly minor nitpicks with links) - putting on hold for now. Thanks, eviolite (talk) 23:52, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eviolite: Thanks for the review! I believe I've addressed all your comments. (BTW, if you're interested in more GA reviews, I've nominated three other articles that share a lot of history with this one: Box District station, Bellingham Square station, and Chelsea station (MBTA). I've already made the same copyedits to those three. No pressure, of course!) Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 03:28, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Happy to promote this to GA given those edits. (And I'll see if I can look at those other noms later, but right now I'm trying to review one nomination from each GA topic.) Great work. eviolite (talk) 03:32, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
