GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Minor prose tweaks noted below

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

   Earwig negative, spot checks on Snow and the Newspapers.com sources turned up no concerns about close para/accuracy.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Suggested tweaks

• The sentence "Originally granted..." feels confusing, as it doesn't address the charter until midway through the sentence. Maybe move the charter up, as in "The charter, originally granted, blah blah"
• "Following the assumption of control by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad-controlled New England Railroad" It's slightly ambiguous as to what they took control of
• "both Connecticut's winter weather and swampy ground" don't think you need the word both here but I won't die about it

That's it! Nothing to prevent a pass. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 16:28, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
