    • 2- However, exporting the items made by these industries were hard as there was a lack of transportation in the area. - verb should be singular
    • popping up all over the area - too colloquial
    • 4th and 5th sentences could be combined of 2nd paragraph 2.1. --Rschen7754 (T C) 18:49, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Got some grammar errors:

  • "with U.S. Route 9 1 mile (1.6 km) of Underwood." is missing a word, maybe NORTH of Underwood?
  • West Branch of the Ausable River, is this the proper name? In the western US it's rare to see "of the" in there, just checking.
    • That is the proper name.
  • However, this is not accessible via NY 73 except from the intersection with CR 35. This sounds rough.
  • The abbreviation NY 73 is never explained
  • The abbreviation CR is explained on the second instance, not the first.
  • "The area had been big with the lumber and iron industries." The use of "big" is a non-standard use of the word. Try to avoid that, for non-native speakers.
  • "However, exporting the stuff made" Surely there is a better word to use on a FA candidate than "stuff".
  • See Also -- this section is used to link articles not already linked in prose. Keene, New York is already linked multiple times.
  • There is an unacceptable level of WP:Overlink violations. Overlap, Lake Champlain, Keene etc. etc. are all linked multiple times in the same paragraph.
