GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Ontario Highway 7A/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
The sentence "Eventually, the abundance of farms fades into forests and the highway dives into and out of deep glacial ravines, the headwaters of the Pigeon River." sounds awkward.

"dives through a final ravine." also needs to be reworded.

"Drivers then proceed west", sounds awkward.

In the Development section, it jumps from describing dates in the 1800s to the 1900s and back to the 1800s. Is there a reason why this is done or is this perhaps an error?
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
I do not think the Ontario Back Road Atlas can support the physical surroundings of the road. Try using satellite imagery for this.

The first paragraph of the Development subsection of the History needs references.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Can some more historical information be added to the lead?
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:

I will place the article on hold to allow for fixes to be made. Dough 48 72 01:40, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did some fixes. Thanks for catching that 1900s issue in the development, those dates should have been all in the 1800s (and are fixed now). I still have to add more refs for the surroundings of the RD, so I will let you know once that is done. The first part of History is a quick introduction, and all the facts should be repeated/sourced in the following two sections. I tried to cram some extra history into the lead, so let me know what you think for that one. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 22:49, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All set. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 04:21, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will now pass the article. Dough 48 72 04:24, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mea culpa. Forgot that the duplication detector doesn't show quotation marks. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:58, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
