Howdy there! I should have my first comments up within a few days. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 01:34, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Let us begin.
- @SNUGGUMS: Still interested in the review? Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:57, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
Infobox
- When there's no credible evidence suggesting otherwise, I'll assume good faith that File:Foxboro MBTA station, Foxborough MA.jpg is indeed the uploader's own work.
Lead
- You have three close uses of "via", which feels like a bit much. Maybe replace one of them with "through" for diversity?
- Hmm. I think the parallel structure of "via" in the lede and Station design sections is justified here. I understand the desire to avoid repetition of words, but I think precision overrules that - "through" doesn't have quite the same meaning as "via" in this case.
More to follow later. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:03, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Station design
- File:Underpass at Foxboro station, September 2020.jpg is A-OK to use
- Maybe I'm missing something, but I couldn't find any mention of Framingham Secondary in either of the attributed links while this doesn't seem to include stops in between Foxboro and Providence :/
- Done Added a cite that explicitly mentions the Secondary, and added an archive version that explicitly lists stops (under the individual game drop-downs).
I'll get to the "History" after the above is addressed. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:29, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
History
Previous stations
- Unfortunately, the file source for File:Foxboro station 1912 postcard.jpg gives me an error. To aid in verifying authenticity, can you archive that or find something else to use in place?
- Unfortunately, eBay links do tend to go dead. That fortunately shouldn't affect the PD licensing status of the image - that style of postcard was only used in the 1907-1915 era.
- The use of "extant" feels awkward. I recommend using something like "in service" or "running" or "active".
- None of those have the same meaning as extant, for which there is not a good replacement word.
- When did the original Foxboro get converted into a coffin shop? It would also be nice to add when South Walpole closed down its train service after the 1911 rebuilding.
- It was converted from a coffin shop; the source implies that occurred when the line opened. As best as I can tell, South Walpole was served until service on the line ended in 1933 (I can't find any evidence to the contrary, and it certainly would have outlasted Foxvale and North Foxborough), though that's not explicitly stated in any source.
There's some more for you to work with. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 00:03, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
