Reviewer: Nbound (talk · contribs) 13:46, 2 July 2013 (UTC) Hi Mitch, I will take this GA review

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): (Revised)

   Minor wording issues - see below

   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Appears to meet usual standards

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references):

   Wide range of well presented references

   b (citations to reliable sources):

   All sources appear to be reliable

   c (OR):

   No OR

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   All major aspects covered, prose focused on topic

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Information presented with a neutral POV

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   Article very stable/no disputes

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):

   All images are PD or CC licensed

   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Captions are fine

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail: Pass (Revised)

Minor issues:

• The route acts as a connector between U.S. Route 202 (US 202) and NY 35 in the south and US 6 in the hamlet of Shrub Oak in the north. - Would be best to explicitly mention US202 and NY35 are concurrent/duplexed/etc.
• The majority of NY 132 is named Old Yorktown Road; near the northern end, NY 132 is routed on Barger and East Main streets. - Would be better if sections could be separated by means other than a semi-colon, or if the northern bit included something like "though at the northern end... ".
• ...the locally maintained Downing Park and the state-maintained Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park northwest of Yorktown Heights. - Not sure if we need to explicitly say who maintains the parks, as it is mentioned in the name of the latter, and can likely be inferred by the lack of "state park" or "national park" descriptor in the former. (Upto your own personal judgement - Ill still pass even if this one is left as-is)
• paralleling the Taconic State Parkway as it runs through a series of residential neighborhoods and serves Lakeland Copper Beech Middle School. - Sounds like the Parkway is serving the school instead of NY132

This is my first GA review, so I'd appreciate any feedback if I've made any errors. -- Nbound (talk) 13:46, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

I just rewrote the RD rather than change anything. Mitch32^{(Wikipedia's worst Reform Luddite.)} 15:30, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
