GA review (see here for criteria)

---

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • Could use a decent copyedit. There are many poorly-written sentences such as "In Florida until the 1990s, U.S. 1 used high-contrast markers (white text on a red background)", "Through Rockingham, it goes through downtown with a bypass in the future plans.", and "Through Penns Neck is a series of traffic signals. "

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   • The article has a few uncited statements, including "Moreover, NCDOT is planning to finish four laning US 1 in Richmond County past NC 177 with a Rockingham bypass to the east. There are no plans from SCDOT to widen US 1 from the state line. From Henderson into Virginia, U.S. 1 runs parallel with I-85 as a two-lane local road until the state line where Virginia hosts a continuous third center lane for alternate passing towards US Highway 58 before South Hill.", "As it enters Greenwich, Connecticut, it continues as a two lane local road.", "Brickell Avenue is the name given to the stretch of U.S. Route 1 in Miami, Florida just south of the Miami River."
   • Several references need to be formatted properly.
   • Reference 21 is a dead link.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   • The route description contains historical information that would be better suited for the history section.

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:

Looking at the article, there are several major issues that would take more than a week to fix. In addition, it appears the nominator is not a major contributor to the article. Therefore, I will have to fail it. The article may be renominated once the issues are addressed. Dough4872 23:46, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
