A fact from Church Street station (MBTA) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 February 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the name of Church Street station has been changed twice since 2019?
Why is the name in infobox written in caps? Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe 14:55, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That style is applied to all MBTA station articles to match the style of actual station signage. There's been some back-and-forth about that; I don't have a particular opinion, but it's probably outside the scope of a single GA.
Maybe you can write is like, "Church Street station (stylised as CHURCH STREET) is an under-construction" Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe 19:19, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that's necessary; it's only stylized that way on station signs and not in sources. Again, this is a discussion that would affect over 300 MBTA station articles, so it's not really in scope here.

Wikilink the first New Bedford, Boston etc. words in the body. Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe 14:58, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Done
Change citation [8] to sentence case (MOS:ALLCAPS) Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe 15:02, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Done
Disabled access mentioned in infobox, but not in body. Also it doesnt have citation.
Done Added to the station layout section, as it's covered in the existing citation.
"The former Acushnet station, located..." - this introduction of Acushnet station feels a bit abrupt. While reading for the first time, I was unable to find its connection with Church Street station. Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe
Done Added a couple words to clarify.
@ArnabSaha: Thanks for the review! I've replied to your comments above. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:10, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Pi.1415926535: I feel other than these minor things, the article is fine. Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe 19:19, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Just a suggestion: Maybe add that the station is in Massachusetts. This would add a small bit of context, and the hook is on the shorter end as it is. Steelkamp (talk) 10:09, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I generally prefer to keep hooks short - my take is that a little mystery can pique interest - but I appreciate your perspective. Thanks for the review! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:20, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article is never clear on when it was first named Church Street Station or when it was changed out to what. Wis2fan (talk) 03:47, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Originally to be on the west side of the tracks, the planned station was moved to the east side and renamed North New Bedford in 2019. A construction contract was issued in 2020; that year, the station was again renamed as Church Street....In 2019, the planned site was moved across the tracks due to drainage and land acquisition issues, with the name changed to "North New Bedford" for clarity....In 2020, the planned name was changed to "Church Street".Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:54, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
