GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    • The last two paragraphs in the lead can be combined.
    • "At this point, the road name changes to Newman Hill.", what is Newman Hill? a road? an avenue?
    • The sentence "At the bottom, the route curves to the southwest and becomes Falls Avenue as well as providing access to the Rainbow Bridge border crossing into the United States" sounds awkward.
    • The last two paragraphs of the history should be combined.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    • Reference 9 needs a publisher.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    • The lead clearly does not indicate the western terminus, as I thought it was at the QEW rather than at Montrose Road. Can this be clarified?
    • Shouldn't the length of both King's Highway 420 and Regional Road 420 be included in the infobox, with a note indicating the length of each individual route? Also, the infobox should list the termini and junctions for both routes.
    • "Now separated by a landscaped median, the route progresses eastward, intersecting MacDonald Avenue and providing access to several properties that adjoin the road." What kind of properties?
  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 00:02, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review. I have a few questions comments, but generally I've fixed the issues. For the lead, Newman Hill is just Newman Hill, it doesn't have any suffix. Ref 9 does not have a publisher (it is a self published source used solely to verify the existence of the protest/rally group), so I'm not sure what to do.

Maybe use "Home" as the title and "Highway 420 Anti-Prohibition Rally" as the publisher. Dough4872 15:22, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That works! Fix made. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 16:05, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
