Reviewer: Racepacket (talk) 13:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria[reply]


No disamb links and all links check out. Does the Benedict Bridge deserve its own article rather than being a redirect to this article?

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    Is the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge in Solomons or Solomon's Island?
    The bridge is in the census-designated place of Solomons.  V 16:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    Need ref for "village of Benedict, which was the site of the landing of British troops to march toward Washington prior to the Battle of Bladensburg."
    I added a reference for the War of 1812 information.  V 16:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    The National Bridge Inventory gives the 2008 traffic density. Perhaps you should include it in the article.
    Why and how were tolls removed from the bridge?
    I added information about the tolls and traffic to the History.  V 16:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    B. Focused:
    Article would be more focused if the Benedict Bridge material were spun off into a separate article.
    I merged the Benedict Bridge article into this article for several reasons: the bridge is not significant enough to warrant its own article; the article was a stub that had little growth prospects; there is not a lot of information available about this bridge; and the bridge article contained much of the same information as the MD 231 article even before I updated MD 231: see pre-merger edition of Benedict Bridge.  V 16:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    This article represents significant work by its author. I am placing the review on hold for you to address concerns. Racepacket (talk) 15:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator gives a logical expanation for the merger of the bridge article with the Rt 231 article. Additional references check out. All other concerns have been resolved. Congratulations. Racepacket (talk) 18:15, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
