    • The mileposts in the junction table should be updated. This is a case of false precision if these numbers are coming from a paper atlas that doesn't list them to the hundredth of a mile.

User:JohnnyAlbert10 used a computer program when he put that in - I think I have an updated source of that form somewhere.Mitchazenia :  Chat  Trained for the pen 22:00, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Do all of the bolded names have redirects in place? If not, the bolded needs to be removed.
    • I would question referencing throughout the lead, since that information should be contained lower in the article with a reference.
    • I haven't read the prose; I've only skimmed the article this morning briefly. Imzadi1979 (talk) 14:30, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments - I have some concerns before I will support keeping the article at A-class
  1. In the infobox, I-78 should not be mentioned as a junction as it does not directly interchange with I-476
  2. In the infobox, US 6 and US 11 should be abbreviated for consistiency
  3. References need to be removed from the lead
  4. More information should be added to the lead
  5. The subheadings under Route description and History are inconsistient, it is "Blue Route" for Route description but "Mid-County Expressway" for history
  6. The route description could use some more detailed information such as what landscapes the road passes through
  7. I do not understand how "ubiquitous nickname" can apply to the Blue Route
  8. References should be at the end of the sentence and not in the middle
  9. Sentence should not begin with numeral "8". It should be spelled out
  10. There are additional citations that are needed in the route description
  11. The sentence "Rocks can be seen straight ahead just before the road curves right (narrowing down to 1 line in that direction) into that hairpin curve, and they mark the path of the never-built continuation of the Northeast Extension (use I-81 to continue north toward New York State)." is unsourced and sounds like original research
  12. Dates should not be linked
  13. "I-476/The Blue Route" reads awkward
  14. Some of the information in the history section may need to be updated
  15. Parts of the exit list many need to be fix to meet ELG standards, such as the junctions with unnumbered roads
  16. References need to be formatted to meet standards
  17. Reference 6 is from a personal site, but it is a picture so it may be okay to cite
  18. Reference 9 takes original research from a picture off a personal site and is improperly cited
  19. Reference 15 is supposed to link to sattelite imagery of the route in Scranton but instead links to imagery in the Lehigh Valley
  20. The URL for Reference 16 moved but redirects
  21. The URL for Reference 22 is incorrect
  22. Reference 24 links to NBC 10's home page and not the individual story Dough4872 (talk) 02:04, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is anybody planning to work on this? --Rschen7754 (T C) 08:28, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This will be closed out by May 8th if nobody is willing to work on these suggestions. --Rschen7754 (T C) 03:59, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
