GA Review

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   The prose is decent, but it needs some work. Some examples: The route heads eastward, going along the shores of Lake Champlain as Bridge Road. - "Going" is a rather casual and encyclopedic word. Just after the western terminus, there is a fork in the road, the left of which is NY 185, the right of which is for a road to a housing development. - This needs to be reworded. After passing houses and forestry, Route 185 begins to approach the Champlain Bridge. - Is there any location where the road doesn't pass houses? I suggest removing that part of the sentence. In terms of MoS, {{commonscat}} should be in the external links section.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   References are good for the most part, but prior to being renumbered to its next designation, NY 910L. needs a citation.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Any history prior to designation?

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):

   Images look good, but the caption for the image in the history section needs a full stop

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

A decent article overall, but there are some issues, which are listed above. On hold for now. –Juliancolton ^{Happy Holidays} 19:09, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

All done. Thanks!Mitch32^{(Go Syracuse)} 01:49, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Establishment date

I stumbled across a deletion date for NY 910L in the 2009 route log tonight; however, it conflicts with the date we currently have. The route log gives the removal date of NY 910L as 4/4/08, while the restriction report has the date as 04/07/08. I tend to trust the route log date more, and here's why: the restriction report is published weekly on Mondays, and April 7, 2008 was a Monday. Thus, the date is probably referring to the date of the first restriction report that had the change. – TMF 09:53, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
