Comments

[edit]
  • I would add mileage to the lead.
    • Done.
  • "paved in the 1960s and" Add comma after 1960s.
    • Not necessary, as they are both independent clauses but joined by a coordinating conjunction ("and").
  • "SR 971 begins at a junction" I would change "begins" since technically it begins at both ends.
    • The southern terminus is the legal start of the highway, so there is no need for this to be changed.
  • "volumes on SR 971 in 2016 ranged" Add comma after 2016.
    • Again, not necessary.
  • "680 vehicles near" Add "per day" after vehicles.
  • "maximum of 2,600 vehicles" Add "per day" after vehicles.
    • Added "daily" before the statements to prevent repetition.
      • Works good.
  • "Lake Chelan in 1910 with" Add comma after 1910.
    • Again, not necessary.
  • "resurfacing project in 1996 and" Add comma after 1996.
    • Again, not necessary.
  • Add locations and notes to Major intersections.
    • Per MOS:RJL, junctions in unincorporated areas should not be listed and notes should be kept to a minimum.

Thats all I have on first pass. -420Traveler (talk) 16:18, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@420Traveler: Had to reject half of these suggestions. Please make sure to make MOS-compliant suggestions in GA reviews. SounderBruce 21:06, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Fredddie: I need a second opinion if you arent too busy. Isnt for example: "Northern terminus" usually added in the notes column for major intersections? Also is "begins" correct in the route description, because technically it begins at both ends? -420Traveler (talk) 22:50, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, I hate the word terminus on road articles, so you'll never find me adding "northern terminus" or whatever direction. I use begin and end in the lead and RD to describe the southern end and northern end, respectively, so I have no issue here. –Fredddie™ 00:33, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thanks Fredddie just wanted to make sure. -420Traveler (talk) 01:06, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SounderBruce: Everything looks good, will pass now. Also in the future you should say you "disagree" instead of saying "reject". I wouldn't say the word "reject" in response to comments about improvements, because it makes it seem like you don't respect the good article process. And not to mention kind of rude.
