message: Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

message: Is it alright to create this template and then stick it somewhere on the page?  The city subway pages have these, I thought maybe they'd do well out here too.

replies: text: Personally, I think the article's too long already, because it covers both the history of the line as a complete railroad, and its current status as part of the commuter rail. I think a division should be made between articles about the historic line and the current MBTA operation, breaking off the modern MBTA line into a separate article (where your template would fit well), leaving just a small summary here and a link to that article. But that would be quite a change. - DavidWBrooks 15:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I agree
I plan to start a History of Lowell, Massachusetts article, and I linked this article into my template stub.  The fact that this article is as much about the current MBTA commuter line as the historical line makes it awkward. CSZero 14:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

message: This seems to have been written by someone interested in the topic, but not solid on the facts. I removed an assertion that people were concerned about hazards coming from locomotives during the 1820s. The timeline is incorrect - the very first American locomotives were only coming online in 1829-1830. You can't fear what you've never seen. The lack of citations for statements of fact suggest that the writer had read a book on the subject, but didn't have it in front of him. The lack of dates for events mentioned leaves the reader unsure of the timeline of the development of the company. It's a good start, and bless the person who took the initiative and wrote up the page, but it needs to be cleaned up to be a good article. The entire first section is interesting, but not necessary - the article is about the company, not transportation in early 19th Century Northeastern Massachusetts. You could really boil the whole first section down to a couple of sentences.
