Comments

Length of the article seems short and start class

All highway articles get three major sections: A description of the route, a retelling of the history, and a list of major intersections. This article may be short in length, but it comprehensively covers its subject with all the information that is available about it. Have a look at some of the other two-digit Ontario highway GAs for comparisons. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 16:47, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, I'm cool with that. As an experience editor like you I ensure you understand Good Articles and all, so I'll gt on this review tonight. --///EuroCarGT 20:25, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox is properly cited with reliable sources
Lead is good, may need some re-writing as some parts were hard to understand such as: as it arcs between Highway 69 and Highway 17, and provides a shortcut between the latter and Highway 11 northwest of North Bay - After North Bay, theirs no period.
Route description is good, gallery of 2 photos are good
History section is good
Major intersections is great and descriptive with the distances listed
References are good, all are in citing templates and no bare URLs
External links are useful + KML is useful

Their maybe rewording need in the route description and history section, it is good at it's current point but improvements could be used. --///EuroCarGT 02:11, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've puffed up the RD a little and made the fix to the lede, but I can't do much with the history. Let me know how it looks now. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 21:39, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Great! I'm in the process of filling up the checklist and setting the result. The changes are great, especially with the new updated source. ///EuroCarGT 01:15, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
