Interstate 8 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) review
- Suggestion: Promote to A-Class
- Nominator's comments: This is Interstate 8, the primary route between San Diego and Casa Grande, Arizona. I've been working on this for about 18 months, off and on, and am finally ready to take this to ACR.
Notes:
My usual ACR fixes such as nbsp, OCLC, inflation have not been done yet.- This is the most complicated article that I have ever written; extra eyes would be appreciated, especially on the following 2 points:
- Sometimes, the lines between U.S. Route 80 in California (the predecessor and also a GA) and I-8 are blurred. Should some stuff in this article go there? or some stuff there go here?
- There are 186 references. Is there stuff in the article that isn't quite essential? Is it too big for one article?
Have fun, and enjoy reading.

Prose suggestions:
Suggested additions: I am impressed with the research done for the construction of I-8, one of the most thorough history sections I've read. However, I feel there are two details that are hinted at but glossed over that I'm aware of in the history of the I-8 corridor. If the sources aren't there to establish relevence to the I-8 corridor so be it, but I'd request to at least look:
Good luck, and sincerely well done fleshing out the construction details. The article is well written and I support its promotion even if the 3 expansion suggestions are not implemented. I'm not concerned about the overlap between teh history section of this article and the article U.S. Route 80 in California. The two are so tightly linked that I think some overlap is appropriate.

Review by Viridiscalculus
[edit]I am committing to reviewing this article. I am not sure when exactly I will get to it, so if anyone else wants to do a review, you can jump ahead of me. I intend to do a content-based run-through, then a stylistic/proofreading run-through, and then a final run-through. VC 00:22, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
- @Viridiscalculus: Are you still able to review this? --Rschen7754 18:47, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
- I'm sorry. I feel obligated to do this, but my passion for doing Wikipedia work has really waned in the past few months, and I have so much going on IRL. I will think about it this week. If I am unable to summon the passion to at least get something up this weekend, I will release myself from my commitment and let someone else have a crack at it. VC 23:32, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- This review is not happening. I'm really sorry for flaking out on you, Rschen. VC 23:51, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- I understand, real life has been busy for me too. --Rschen7754 23:54, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

- I am suspending this nomination and taking the article to FAC. I'm leaving the nomination open in the event that the FAC fails, or the ACR rules change so that this can be promoted on the reviews that have taken place. --Rschen7754 02:45, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- Note: Should this nomination be reactivated, this will need a source review to pass ACR. --Rschen7754 04:15, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
