GA review (see here for criteria)

---

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • There are many one-sentence paragraphs throughout the article that can be combined.
   • The sentence "The highway continues east three blocks (intersecting SR-270 and Main Street, including a light rail route used by all three lines of the UTA TRAX system) before state maintenance ends at US-89 (State Street)." needs to be reworded.
   • The sentence "The pair of viaducts were demolished in late-1998–early-1999, replaced with much shorter viaducts in 2000." sounds awkward.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   • Citations are needed in the second paragraph of the route description, the second paragraph of the history, and the statement "This replacement was made possible by the agreement of trackage rights during the 1980s allowing Union Pacific to use Rio Grande's line between Salt Lake City and Provo, and the subsequent acquisition of Rio Grande by Southern Pacific and then by Union Pacific itself. Mitigation for the removal of the lines was nevertheless necessary; most notably, the Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub was built at 600 West to replace the functions of the Rio Grande and Union Pacific stations, both of which are now isolated from the former mainlines that connected to them from the south by traffic streaming to and from I-15 on SR-269 (as part of the Gateway development, the lines from the north were cut too)."
   • References are not needed in the lead unless the information is unique there.
   • Reference 2 is a WP:SPS and needs to be replaced.
   • References need to be formatted properly.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

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:

It has been a week and since the issues have not been addressed, I will have to delist the article. Dough4872 21:13, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
