# Talk:Fore River Railroad

The book is not available digitally. I can't say that I'm thrilled someone else took an article I did all the work on and nominated it without even telling me. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 23:07, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
@Trainsandotherthings: Is there any chance you could type out the sentence (as a reply to this comment, perhaps) as it is written in the book? I will use that to validate the blurb here. Also, re: your second statement, is there something that you'd want me to do? I will admit, I do not know the procedural steps on that front. Were you thinking of an alternate blurb? Let me know at your convenience. cc @Onegreatjoke:. Ktin (talk) 03:56, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
Can't you just AGF and have it done with? Onegreatjoke (talk) 15:15, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
The required quote was provided at WT:DYK#Need some guidance on WP:AGF: "In 1987 General Dynamics finally found a buyer - the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) which was looking for land to use in conjunction with the $6 billion Boston Harbor cleanup project", so we're obviously good there.  But may I suggest a tweak to the hook:
ALT1: ... that the Fore River Railroad was bought by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority as part of a project to clean up the Boston Harbor?

A good discussion at WT:DYK#Need_some_guidance_on_WP:AGF. Text from offline source was provided by the original editor. Provided text matched the text provided by uninvolved editor user:Mx. Granger. The updated blurb provided by user:RoySmith looks good. Added an article "the". With all of this the nomination is approved. Thank you. Ktin (talk) 00:20, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
