GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    1a. The lead has way too many links, making it difficult to read. It's not necessary to include the county every time a city is mentioned unless there is a need for disambiguation. US 1 only passes through one Trenton, so it's not necessary to mention Mercer County. Pre-1927 Route # works for an article title, but it's a bit wordy for prose. Please remove The from heading 1.3 and the bold text from the exit list. Dates in the references are inconsistent.
    The route description is wordy and hard to follow.

    Example:
    Upon crossing the Delaware River into New Jersey from Morrisville, Pennsylvania on the Trenton-Morrisville Toll Bridge, the "Trenton Makes" Bridge is seen parallel to US 1 on the west side.[1][2] US 1 heads northeast into Trenton, Mercer County as the four-lane Trenton Freeway, under the maintenance of the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission. Immediately after the river, the freeway has a northbound exit and southbound entrance with Route 29...[1]

    Can be simplified to...
    U.S. Route 1 crosses the Delaware River into New Jersey on the Trenton–Morrisville Toll Bridge. Once in Trenton, US 1 is the Trenton Freeway, which is maintained by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission. US 1 meets Route 29 at a partial diamond interchange just north of the river...


    The rest of the article can be simplified similarly.
    1b. (US 1), in the first sentence, is not bold.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Please read over summary style and do some pruning.
  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:
    With the condition of the prose, I cannot support passing this article. The changes that are necessary to make this a Good Article are going to take some time. I recommend printing off this article and having someone proofread it manually. This article has promise, but it needs some work.
I have made some changes by formatting the reference dates and removing some of the excess information. ---Dough4872 02:13, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
