Seeing as this was a drive-by review from a sockpuppet editor, I'll be quick failing this. Going to leave some constructive comments if another editor would care to bring this up to GA standards in the future:

• Two citation needed tags in the Etymology section, along with some unreferenced (or under-referenced) sections throughout the article.
• The history section is very lean on post-1820 history, with no mention of the 20th and 21st century at all. Surely Maine hasn't been frozen in a time capsule for all this time?
• Geography section needs a lot more referencing. Ditch the quote and list of national parks (prose is much better and should describe the natural setting or surroundings of each).
• Demographics section has too many tables that aren't supplemented by prose. Also missing references for the ethnicity of immigrants.
• Economy section needs a bit less emphasis on shipbuilding (which is unreferenced), either in the form of a trim or adding content on other major industries.
• Transportation section has no mention of local public transportation (or inter-city buses) and needs references.
• The detailed information on municipalities should be split off into a separate list.
• Culture section is all lists, when it should be prose.
