New York State Route 319 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) review
- Suggestion: No suggestion given regarding A-Class
- Nominator's comments: NY 319 is a decommissioned highway in Chenango County, New York. Originally this got passed as a pretty cruddy GA, but since then its been revamped pretty well and has the basic details to probably go for A-class.

- Comments - I have some concerns with this article before I support this for A-class:
- Can a MTF compliant map be added to the infobox?
- That is in the works.Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!) 04:12, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you request shields for CRs 4, 10, 10A, and 19 that can be used in the article?
- Um, did we miss WP:USRD/S/R#Chenango County Routes 4, 10, 10A and 19?Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!) 04:12, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Can you find the date the highway maintenance swap was approved?
- This may be impossible, the only official date is when it took effect, which was July 84.Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!) 04:12, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- In last sentence of lead, indicate abbreviation for CR 10A.
- Done.Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!) 04:12, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- "County Route 4, CR 10, and CR 19": use consistient abbreviations.

- "residential neighborhoods and commercial establishments" sounds wordy.
- Done.Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!) 04:12, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Are the boundary changes of Norwich really relevant to this article?
- It is in the turnpike history, we are trying to find a way to condense it.Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!) 04:12, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Been condensed to where necessary.Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!) 17:20, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- "a contract was let" sounds awkward.
- Contract letting is the official terms used in engineering.Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!)
- It's not just an engineering term - it's perfectly acceptable English. See the Merriam-Webster definition of let as a verb, specifically point #2. – TMF 04:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Do not need to link New York twice in same paragraph.

- Is it really notable for the road to get new signage.
- Eh, it helps keeping the article up to date, which is often a complaint from the top tier.Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!) 04:12, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Adding non-notable stuff is just as big of a problem. --Rschen7754 07:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I wouldn't consider new signage to be that notable, TBH. For me, it falls along the lines of guardrail replacement or a standard pavement resurfacing, neither of which really matter 10 or 20 years out. – TMF 04:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- The sentence "The project is estimated to be completed in late 2009 and early 2010". needs to be updated.

- References 1 and 21 should be merged.
- 1 and 21 serve different purposes. 21 serves as a designation identifier.Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!) 04:12, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- References 22 and 23 should be merged.
- 22 and 23 can't be merged due to link issues. Also, they are to separate entries, one is #1045650 and one is #1045660.Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!) 04:12, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The images need ALT text per WP:ALT [1]. ---Dough4872 03:03, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Review by Imzadi1979
- Using the toolbox I added, the ALT text needs to be added for the map using the
|map_alt=
parameter. The dab links, and external links check out.- Done.Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!) 01:45, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Image sourcing checks out as well.
- References and their formatting check out. There are a few minor formatting gaffes, like stray ] in Ref 8 and the template-generated ISO date in Ref 11. Ref 22 should be un-wikilinked because Ref 21 has the same wikilinks.
- Ref 8 fixed. I can't seem to fix 11. Refs 21 & 22 fixed, (I misread this as the URL).Mitch32(Live from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood. Its Mitch!) 22:57, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Prose review
is forthcoming. I apologize, we're having guests over for a dinner party here, so I can't do it at the moment. Imzadi1979 (talk) 22:37, 18 January 2010 (UTC)looks good. There's a few minor stylistic concerns, so a copy edit never hurts, but it's not required for me to support article promotion. Imzadi1979 (talk) 19:37, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'd suggest adding more context to the caption for the illustration in the RD. There's clearly something going on other than the road.–Juliancolton | Talk 18:22, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Fredddie: I have two-and-a-half issues with this article.
- "...the hamlet of Preston within the town of the same name..." sounds incredibly awkward. You could replace it with "...the hamlet of Preston, within the town of Preston, ..."
- The map doesn't give any context to where NY 319 was in the state of New York. I think it should be zoomed out, not state-wide, but wide enough to get a clue to where it was. I could point to the large cities of New York, but I couldn't point to where NY 319 was by looking at that map.
- IMO, if it was zoomed out any farther, the red "line" marking NY 319 would be a dot. – TMF 03:57, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
½. If it can't be done, that's fine; but the section about the Norwich and Preston Turnpike should have an older picture. The picture of a modern highway looks out of place.
- The only non-modern day pic I've found ever working on this is the one now in the RD, the 1966 picture of NY 319's eastern terminus in Norwich.Mitch32(Growing up with Wikipedia: 1 edit at a time.) 09:58, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. My issues have been addressed. —Fredddie™ 21:33, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
