GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:U.S. Route 4 in New York/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 prose is overall good, at least enough for GA's sake.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Entire Route description is unsourced. Also, when you say that parts of the highway were designated as NY 30 in 1924, was Route 30 split up into different segments? Otherwise, couldn't you just use "Between point A and point B?, instead of numerous locations?

Well, its because Route 30 and 4 were not on the same route everytime. They just continued merging in with one another.^Mitch 32 ^contribs 11:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
For 75 miles, I'm sure the route description can be exanded.
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:

Well, it's a decent article, but it needs some work, namely route description expansion. On-hold for now. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 00:55, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done with comment above :D - ^Mitch 32 ^contribs 11:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What happened to the picture? Also, now that the article's longer, you should fatten the lead a little. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 12:58, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The picture is gone because of copyright issues. See commons for more info. Anyway, I'll fatten it.^Mitch 32 ^contribs 16:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lead expanded.^Mitch 32 ^contribs 16:18, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 17:03, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
