Suggest "Substantial revisions to the lines that had been constructed by the Metropolitan had been planned since the 1930s, and led to the replacement of the Logan Square branch with a subway to go directly downtown, and the substitution of a rapid transit right-of-way in the median of the Eisenhower for the main line and Garfield Park branch." But I'm also not sure that "had been planned" is the tense you really want here -- "had" implies the narrative is positioned at a point later than that, but in the past. The previous sentences talk about earlier events, so I think it would be better to convert this to tenses that work as linear narrative.</s> <ul><li>Decided to keep the sentences separate, but changed the pluperfect to the past. – <a href="/wiki/User:John_M_Wolfson" title="User:John M Wolfson">John M Wolfson</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:John_M_Wolfson" title="User talk:John M Wolfson">talk</a> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/John_M_Wolfson" title="Special:Contributions/John M Wolfson">contribs</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Marshfield_station/archive2#c-John_M_Wolfson-20230927013100-Comments_from_Mike_Christie-2" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:31, 27 September 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-John_M_Wolfson-20230927013100-Comments_from_Mike_Christie-2"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-John_M_Wolfson-20230927013100-Comments_from_Mike_Christie-2"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mike_Christie-20230927105700-John_M_Wolfson-20230927013100"></span>I think "since" has the same effect as "had".

From the point of view of a reader interested specifically in Marshfield station, what would be lost if that first paragraph were cut to "Plans for Chicago to have a subway system to relieve the severe congestion of, if not replace, its elevated trackage dated back to the early 20th century, but the city lagged in building subways. A plan for downtown east-west streetcar tunnels was eventually adopted in 1938, and in 1939 this was combined with a proposal to replace the main line and Garfield Park branch with a section of rapid transit operating through a superhighway (the eventual Interstate 290 or "Eisenhower")These sections of transit would be connected, allowing for the northwest side's rapid transit to be routed through downtown rather than adhere to a trunk-and-branch model. Work soon began on the subway, which was 82 percent complete when World War II forced its suspension in 1942. It finally opened on February 25, 1951, rerouting Logan Square and Humboldt Park trains from Marshfield Junction." To be honest I think it could be cut further (why does the reader of this article care that the plan came together in two steps, in 1938 and 1939, for example?) but I'll pause here before reading further to see what you think. <a href="/wiki/User:Mike_Christie" title="User:Mike Christie">Mike Christie</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mike_Christie" title="User talk:Mike Christie">talk</a> - <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Mike_Christie" title="Special:Contributions/Mike Christie">contribs</a> - <a href="/wiki/User:Mike_Christie/Reference_library" title="User:Mike Christie/Reference library">library</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Marshfield_station/archive2#c-Mike_Christie-20230927001400-Comments_from_Mike_Christie" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:14, 27 September 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mike_Christie-20230927001400-Comments_from_Mike_Christie"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mike_Christie-20230927001400-Comments_from_Mike_Christie"></span> <ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-John_M_Wolfson-20230927013100-Mike_Christie-20230927001400"></span>Given that you're not the first person to talk about this, I've decided to make a few trimmings to the section.

I must disagree with the suggestion that the article is excessively lengthy; it looks big in bytes and characters, but we do not measure with them. We look at it in words. This is <i>less than</i> 3,000 words; if any thing, it verges, in fact, on the short. See WP:SIZERULE, which states that for articles of less than 6,000 words, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">Length alone does not justify division or trimming</q>. Having read it, while the prose may want to be played with, this is, in my view, down to a variety of language improving the reader's experience. The language need not be adjusted to remove non-existent bloat. In my view, the article absolutely conforms to 1B and 1C and concomitantly criterion 4. 1A, as I said, may well be debatable, but is anyone opposing on the actual <i>quality</i> of the writing? I mean, unless it gets submitted to us scrawled in fingerpaints...

No way is that merely too much detail. And to be honest, more than vague handwaves towards unnecessary detail are required; concrete examples <i>are</i>. You don't have to re-write it, but you do have to present evidence. In any case, this isn't the place to discuss the criteria more broadly, although I'll happily join the discussion at WT:FAC.
