GA Review[edit]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
You abbreviate SR 117 twice, you don't need to again in the RD.

Fixed.

OK.

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

All of the articles are primary sources. Can you possibly find a secondary source?
- That would not be possible because there have been no construction projects on the highway and also, the highway has only three intersections, which makes businesses or major landmarks not possible on the roadway itself.
  - here are a bunch about when it was closed to accommodate bridge reconstruction on 8th Street It may not be the route its self, but the route was closed. -- Admrboltz (talk) 15:19, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - I will add the sources and matching prose in later this morning. –CG 15:40, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Done. –CG 16:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As suggested at User:Davemeistermoab/maps, "SR 117 originated as a short local street connecting the waterfront with U.S. Route 101 (US 101) in 1966." could seem to be OR... maybe rephrase with the road first appeared on maps in 1966... though looking at the map I can not be sure that the roads there are the same as the one this article is about. Even in your lead you admit this, but in the history you make it sound like its the same road.
- Clarified.
  - OK. --Admrboltz (talk) 15:19, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also Marine Drive continues as 2nd Street, not 1st Street and 2nd Street does not terminate at US 101.
- I have a map book that shows Marine Drive turning northeast to become 1st Street, 1st Street is part of US 101 east of the Lincoln Street intersection.
  - Then why does google maps show it runs into 2nd street? --Admrboltz (talk) 15:19, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - I was wrong, Google Maps shows that Marine Drive continues east as Front Street to become US 101's eastbound lanes. –CG 15:40, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
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):
An image would be nice, but the map checks out.

An image can be added sometime later this year when I go on a road trip to Port Angeles.

Overall:
Pass/Fail:
On hold. --Admrboltz (talk) 05:06, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed all problems. –CG 15:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Still holding --Admrboltz (talk) 15:19, 12 August 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Passing. --Admrboltz (talk) 17:46, 12 August 2009 (UTC) [reply]
