• "Berks County" section: Lots of repetition, most of the sentences start with "the route" or "the road."

• Varied wording of sentences. Dough4872 19:14, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• As with PA 143, it would help if you included any traffic usage statistics that PennDOT has.

• Added traffic counts. Dough4872 19:14, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• The article states it was redesignated from PA 83 to avoid conflict with I-83, but the two never intersect. You should note where I-83 is relative to this road and maybe the areas where people might be near both routes.

• Mentioned location of I-83. In Pennsylvania, when Interstates were initially created, state routes that shared their numbers were renumbered, regardless of where they were in the state. This is due to the fact Interstates and state routes both used the official SR x designation. Dough4872 19:14, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• How long was PA 83, and what became of the parts of it that did not become PA 183? The prose seems to imply that parts of its route were different from 183.

• Added length. Dough4872 19:14, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• Also, has the PA 83 ever been designated to another road? It will be helpful to say this either way.

• PA 83 has never been used again since the SR 83 designation now applies to I-83. Dough4872 19:14, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• The road's total distance should appear somewhere in the prose.

  Added. Dough4872 19:14, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• There are no sources for the "Major Intersections" section and chart.

• The length is sourced to Google Maps while the destinations and locations are sourced to Google Maps and the PennDOT county maps. It is not standard USRD practice to include citations in the major intersections section aside from the length. Dough4872 19:14, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• Dab links shows no problems with disambiguations. Dup links shows no duplicate links. Check links shows no problems with external links.

Placing the article on hold pending the above improvements. —Ed!^(talk) 13:15, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review, I have replied to the above comments. Dough4872 19:14, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Outstanding. You've addressed everything I was looking for, so I'm passing the article. Great work! —Ed!^(talk) 23:06, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
