GA Review

I'd say a fairly good article, I've worked on a bit. But its definitely not perfect. --Hurricane Tracker 495 14:57, 24 December 2020 (UTC) Reviewer: Destroyeraa (talk · contribs)[reply]

Comments—I think this nomination is fairly premature. Just looking at things, the RD section is mostly unreferenced, and the history section is way too short to meet the GA criteria. Start looking at all of the state-level articles and pull summaries of the construction history over and make sure the RD has more footnotes. Until then, this will never pass.

✗ Fail. Sorry, but many places are missing citations, especially in the Route description section. ~ Destroyer 🌀🌀 16:45, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- To answer your question, I nominated it and can't review. --Hurricane Tracker 495 19:53, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - @HurricaneTracker495: you'd do well to read the previous GAN review and work on those issues before nominating. Basically, nothing was done of substance to address them, so this article is still a quite a ways from meriting listing as a GA. Imzadi 1979 → 22:47, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Imzadi1979: I looked at the Aug 24 2016 revision can you show me the 1st GA? --Hurricane Tracker 495 22:52, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

        Notification did not get sent out(extra ~)but I see. I-90 is not close to GA yet. --Hurricane Tracker 495 02:37, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@HurricaneTracker495: Some tidbits. First, you should not create the review page. The reviewer should. Second, it is futile to nominate an article for GA when it is clearly not ready. Make sure that the article meets the six criterion stated on WP:GAI. I’m sorry, but if an article is clearly not ready and has missing citations, it is almost a guaranteed speedy fail. I hope this helps. Happy holidays! ~ Destroyer 🌀🌀 02:48, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
