GA review (see here for criteria)

---

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • The sentence "Two people, Douglas James Baker (age 15) and Jason Eldridge (age 27) were killed in the incident, one of the largest multi-vehicle collisions in U.S. history, which was blamed on heavy fog." needs to be split.
     • Fixed. Imzadi 1979 → 02:49, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   • Citations needed for "(As of 2007, I-67 is the largest odd number not in use.)" and "but it would be some time before I-96 was finished into the city."
     • Removed that completely in the first case and repeated a cite in the second. Imzadi 1979 → 02:49, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
   • Reference 18 is coming up with a 403 error.
     • Only in the automated tool. Try loading it directly, and it works fine. Imzadi 1979 → 02:49, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   • "The segment from Livonia east is also the Jeffries Freeway, named for a former mayor of Detroit." - You should indicate who the former mayor is.
     • Done. Imzadi 1979 → 02:49, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
   • The route description should include more details about interchanges. It seems like some highways the road interchanges with are not mentioned in the route description.
     • That's what we have the exit list for. Most of the interchanges with the major state highways are already directly mentioned in the RD. Imzadi 1979 → 02:49, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
   • I do not see the need for a brief overview of the history at the beginning of the history.
     • I like it so that it isn't L2 header followed immediately by an L3 subheader, and it it's not doing any harm. Imzadi 1979 → 02:49, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. 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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

I will put the article on hold for some fixes to be made. Dough4872 02:23, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
