GA Review

I will review this article as I have time. Please be patient. Thanks! —Rob (talk) 18:28, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
Units should have km conversions (use {{convert}} for example). Phrases such as "just a series of xxx" could stand to be rewritten. Who in Southington lobbied for the road's expansion (if available?)
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Kurumi nay not be a valid source for GA status - I will ask about it. Route Reclassification Act should be cited.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
I see a map as being necessary for GA status... is it possible to have one up?
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
No pictures - any images of the road are useful, preferred, and probably required for GA status w/ respect to roads.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
If these concerns can be addressed within a week, the article may still qualify for GA status. However, some of these tasks may be difficult and take some time. Good luck!

Lane expansion

This article mentions how 229 was originally to be a four lane highway, two lanes in each direction. The article mentions how this was abandoned for a standard two lane road. I'm not aware of when this was changed, however, as of December 8, 2012, the road has two lanes travelling in each direction from I-84 to at least Route 72 in Bristol. I believe the four lane road continues further north, and it does narrow to a two lane road, but I am not sure specifically where. --hmich176 07:44, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
