@EuroCarGT: - Just wanted to check that you hadn't forgotten about this or Highway 64. Cheers, Floydian ^τ _¢ 23:41, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Floydian: No worries! You seem busy in life and I wouldn't stop you from doing so. --///EuroCarGT 23:43, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, I mean in terms of your review. Wanted to make sure you hadn't forgotten and that you were still going to do them. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 23:46, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No I'm cool. I got both pages on my watchlist, so I could monitor some changes made. I always try my best, especially when it comes to community interactions. --///EuroCarGT 23:57, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@EuroCarGT: it seems that you have not finished your review, or even started it. Can you please finish your review as soon as you can? Alternatively, you can choose not to review this article and let someone else handle it. Please let us know what your intentions are. --Rs chen 7754 21:00, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Rschen7754: Thanks Rschen7754 for pinging me! I'll start the review, the user seems to be busy in life however. But since the GAN is backlogged i'll do my best to complete the review. Best, ///EuroCarGT 01:01, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The user is most certainly not "busy in life", he's just unable to be online 24/7. GA reviews should be completed promptly; if the nominator is actually unable to respond, the issue can be dealt with then. --Rs chen 7754 01:07, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Rschen7754: Alrighty. I've already read this article and Ontario Highway 64 so I'll get on it ASAP. ///EuroCarGT 01:13, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Article is stable, no edit wars or protecting of any needs.
Only one contributor towards this article.
Infobox content is cited (specifically the length and operating dates)
Intro/lead seems good.
Route description is great! Each paragraph is cited and provides a brief but informative detail on the route.
The History section: Palermo (now a suburb of Oakville), I'm not sure if Oakville has suburbs, it could be an inner suburb, according to Oakville, Ontario#Neighbourhoods, it is a neighbourhood. ...was absorbed into Highway 25, and a concurrency with Highway 9 created - absorbed could be changed. ...would result could be changed to "resulted" but that's alright.
The Major intersections section is organized and well-established with the prior destinations.
References are great, no bare URLs as references.
A map & photos (media) could be added, but I wouldn't say that's needed, however gives readers a clearer view on the route and location's.

I've added the only photo I have that's related... but I hope to get some this summer (or perhaps you may have an opportunity to make a roadside stop on your travels). Absorbed has been swapped out, and I made the resulted change, because active tense is more professional and passive more editorial. No need to worry about me being busy, like I said I get a few hours a day to do stuff, when there is stuff to do. Cheers, Floydian ^τ _¢ 04:11, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The caption for the image could be placed into a scroll box. It's kind of interfering with the route intersections section. --///EuroCarGT 05:01, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed I pushed it into the right side. --///EuroCarGT 05:36, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

GA passed. After re-reading the article, checking for manual of style and the comments were addressed. The article size is alright, however I trust the editor with the topic. --///EuroCarGT 17:41, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
