GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:New Jersey Route 29/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi! I will be reviewing this article for GA status, and should have the full review up soon. Dana boomer (talk) 18:56, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
Just to check, are you consciously using a fully referenced lead? Its a preference thing, I guess.

In the lead, you say "A realignment of Route 29 in Lambertville around 2000" Why "around 2000" and not "in 2000"?

There is a lot of "at mile marker this" and "at mile marker that". Is there any way to change this up a bit? I mean, I understand that you're trying to give a comprehensive overview of what roads the route intersects, but this gets a little...monotonous...after a while.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
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):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Just a couple of comments regarding prose/MOS, so I am putting the article on hold. Drop me a note here on the review page or on my talk page if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 19:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have gone back into the article and replaced some of the monontonus "at mile marker"'s in the route description. The references in the lead are for the reader to verify the information to individual sources. The reason "A realignment of Route 29 in Lambertville around 2000" is stated as such is because the exact year is unknown. Dough4872 (talk) 03:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks good, so I'm passing the article. Nice work and thanks for the quick response. Dana boomer (talk) 18:08, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History notes

(from Mitch32^{(The Password is... See here!)} 21:49, 16 October 2009 (UTC)) List of notes for Route 29:[reply]

Route 29 from the Raritan-Somerville line to Union opened to traffic on September 13, 1930, to accommodate with the Lambertville-Ringoes portion already paved and opened. The highway was considered a "superhighway" of its time, running from Chestnut Street in Union to Lambertville. ^[1]

Scenic byway is north of I-95 only???

Noticed this article says the scenic byway designation is only north of I-95. However, byways.org says its from the South Trenton Tunnel north... http://www.byways.org/explore/byways/2463/travel.html Famartin (talk) 22:54, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
