Fore River Transportation CorporationFore River Railroad – Per MOS:COMMONNAME. Even the MWRA, which owns the railroad, uses the name Fore River Railroad. Ronald Dale Karr's The Rail Lines of Southern New England also uses "Fore River Railroad", as do several other sources. The current operator is formally named Fore River Transportation Corporation, but de facto it is largely known under the Fore River Railroad name. I cannot boldly make this move as the redirect has a few minor edits in its history. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 17:41, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Fore River Railroad; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Very nice article. Clean and crisp. No concerns on eligibility. Earwig checks out. Please can I request the nominator to paste the exact text that exists in the book for me to validate? If the book is not available digitally, I am happy to mark this as WP:AGF. Handing this back to the nominator. @Onegreatjoke and Trainsandotherthings: Ktin (talk) 21:23, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • @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)[reply]
Can't you just AGF and have it done with? Onegreatjoke (talk) 15:15, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
