Images: Sourcing: Lead: Station layout: History:
 * All good - haven't seen annotated images being used for crops before, but it's probably fine
 * Although, the caption for the map should read "East Everett station" instead of "The station" as it's ambiguous
 * Not sure what the Flickr image is meant to be citing
 * The one-story wooden station... Technically the Sanborn map also indicates that, but the Flickr image is an easier-to-understand source. (It's from a reputable historical group, so there shouldn't be RS issues.)
 * Alright, if it's reliable then that's fine.
 * Otherwise, everything is good
 * "The Boston and Maine Railroad and predecessor Eastern Railroad served an East Everett station nearby from 1880 until around 1950." This feels a bit awkward, maybe "From 1880 to around 1950, the Eastern Railroad and the Boston and Maine Railroad served East Everett station, near modern-day Chelsea station."? I'd just prefer to make it explicit the connection between the old railroads and this station
 * ✅ Reworded.
 * "at Everett Avenue" - maybe "on"?
 * ✅ Reworded.
 * What does "high-level" mean in this context?
 * ✅ Wikilinked.
 * Would it be helpful to also add in the fare zone?
 * I don't personally think so; while it's standard in the infobox, it doesn't seem particularly relevant in the prose.
 * Link Revere, Massachusetts
 * Consider linking Main line (railway)
 * Why is East Everett bolded?
 * It's the target of a redirect that's likely to see use - see MOS:BOLDREDIRECT
 * I couldn't find which redirect you referred to so I created.
 * Thanks! I've added a few categories to the redirect. On the technical side, Adjacent stations modules (Module:Adjacent stations/Boston and Maine Railroad in this case) also can act as redirects.
 * Clarify where Boston and 2nd is in relation to the location of the current station (since there is no context for why a different station in another place is being discussed)
 * "began studying an extension of" - consider changing to "began studying a proposed extension of"?
 * Is there any more information on the "existing Chelsea station"? I assume this is not the same as the East Everett station so it should probably be talked about (or clarified if it was in a completely different location)
 * It's discussed and wikilinked in the previous paragraph.
 * " with the commuter rail platforms at Bellingham Square closed at that time" - is there any reason for this?
 * As discussed in the paragraph beginning On October 30, 2013, the platforms at this Chelsea station were a direct replacement for those at Bellingham Square (which, confusingly, was formerly called Chelsea.) I'm open to any copyediting suggestions.
 * Maybe it would help if it read "original commuter rail platforms at the site of Bellingham Square station"? Not really sure.
 * How does this look?

That's all, again a nice article. Placing on hold. ev iolite  (talk)  06:22, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review! I've left my comments above - I implemented most of your suggestions, and I'm open to potential copyediting for the last few paragraphs. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 07:04, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
