Dead reference

I have noticed Reference 2 (Bing Maps) points to a 404 page. This may be a problem. Mattx8y (talk) 02:21, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

GA?

Is it possible to nominate this as a GA, it is very close, since it is a B class article, and has a good amount of references. Severestorm28 03:14, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Will review this in a bit. SounderBruce 01:43, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Lead

• Distance is too exact for the lead, just round it up.
• "The route is a former alignment of U.S. Route 22..." is a pretty short sentence and could be padded by stealing from the next sentence, which is too long.

done

Route description

• "Route 122" is repeated too often.

done

• "at the intersection" should be "at an intersection" (this is repeated again later)

done

• Explain why the county is maintaining a state highway.

done

• I'd be a bit worried if the highway "head[ed] through residential homes"

done

• "some trees", "a factory hidden on the Delaware", "through hills and factories" are not supported by a map citation and are filler.

done

• "way away" needs to be reworded.

done

• "paralleling and intersecting" is awkwardly phrased.

done

• "residential homes" and "residential district with homes surrounding the highway" are both redundant and pure filler.

done

• Link to concurrency (road).

done

• "along" is repeated far too often, especially in the concurrency sentence.

done

• Observations about residential and commercial districts need a secondary citation, as they can't be interpreted from Google Maps without going into OR territory.
• "the highway becomes gradually less populated" is definitely OR.

done

• "interchanging" needs to be replaced.

done

• "designation terminates" can be simplified to "highway terminates".

done

• Shouldn't I-78 be mentioned, as the interchange is right next door?

done

• Mention where New Brunswick Avenue continues towards.

done

• Any traffic counts that can be added?

Maybe not.

History

• "originates" should use past tense.

done

• "an alignment" should include "past"
• "Phillipsburg-Easton Bridge" needs to use a proper ndash.

done

• "coming in" from where?

done

• A better citation for the 1926 establishment of US 22 is needed, as the national map does not have the proper level of detail.

done

• When was the bypass completed? This sentence is also not supported by the given source.

done

• If US 22 Alternate existed until 1993, why was the 1953 renumbering mentioned? This needs to be made more clear.

done

• Is there another citation to back up the 1993 establishment of Route 122?

done

References

• Citation 3 is a self-published source and nedes to be replaced.

done

• Citations need to have a consistent format (e.g. CS1 or CS2).

done

• Secondary sources are needed. I suggest looking through local newspaper archives for contemporary information about this specific stretch of US 22.

Putting this on hold until changes are made. I'm happy to wait a few extra days amid the winter storm, but there's a lot of work to be done before this article is in good enough shape. Also, generally editors do not nominate articles for GAN unless the major contributors are consulted first. SounderBruce 03:10, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

@Severestorm28: Please organize your replies with a second-level indentation (see WP:TALKGAP) to make it easier to read. SounderBruce 02:07, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

@SounderBruce: Any other suggestions? Severestorm28 16:32, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

The History section is still far too short, and your notes in this review haven't been fixed like I requested. SounderBruce 22:15, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

I will resume editing on Monday, is this fine with you? Severestorm28 13:35, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

References (again)

• Citation 12 is still using CS2 while the rest are using CS1.
• Please keep date formats consistent.
• Dates for citations must be accurate; I highly doubt that the straight-line diagram was created on February 3 of this year, given the document says it was created in 2019.
• Citations 2 and 6 are redundant and use Bing Maps, which is deprecated and does not work.
• Citation 3 is missing publisher information and an incorrect date as mentioned above.
• Citation 4 is from an unreliable source.
• Citations 4, 7, and 9 are not appropriate uses of Google Maps citations.
• Citation 10 does not seem to be from a reliable source.
• Citation 11 and 15 are from a self-published source (and the former is not even formatted).
• Citation 13 needs to have publisher information.
• Citation 16 is redundant to Citation 10.

The history section also remains far too short. SounderBruce 01:26, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Since these comments have not been addressed over the past week they've been up, I'm going to have to close this nomination. Please try to fix the citation issues and expand the history section before making another attempt. SounderBruce 20:05, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
