Maintenance

Does the ACTA maintain any of Alameda Street, or is all locally maintained? It doesn't seem to have been taken over by Caltrans, despite signage and pages 6 and 10 of [1]. --NE2 23:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History notes

Note "Proposed freeway". --NE2 17:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SR 47

Only a small portion of Alameda Street is signed as SR 47. I don't think a redirect is appropriate. 71.109.121.132 (talk) 05:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It could be split off, if you have something to write about the city street portion. --NE2 06:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review

GA review (see here for criteria)

I'm passing the article now, but please note that each term needs to be linked only the first time it appears in an article. Thus, LA (for example) doesn't need to be linked over and over again. Please fix this as soon as you can for the article overall. If this isn't changed, I may delist the article. However, it's pretty minor and the article is quite good otherwise.

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
Again, I'm okay with passing the article right now, but the red links to street/boulevard names need to be removed. It cannot be reasonably expected that streets in LA will get articles of their own, so red linking is an unnecessary distraction.
Some city streets are notable - WP:USST. --Rschen7754 (T C) 21:52, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
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):
You've met the GA criteria for images without a doubt, but more images would be nice. I'm sure it's not too difficult to find a few to spice up things.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Great work overall, especially on providing adequate in-line citations. VanTucky 21:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just took a quick look and although it appears that LA is linked over and over, those are actually linking to different articles, for example: Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, Downtown Los Angeles, Los Angeles Harbor, ect... --Holderca1^talk 22:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If they're different dabs each and every time that's fine. But there are other duplicate links, even redlinks. Long Beach Boulevard is linked several times, for instance. It's extremely distracting for the reader and completely unnecessary. VanTucky 22:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That was the single duplicate redlink in a section, and I removed it. --NE2 23:55, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heim Bridge

In the history section -- The Heim Bridge did not replace the Henry Ford Bridge -- the Henry Ford Bridge was always a rail bridge and to this day runs next to the Heim Bridge. The Ford Bridge was built in 1924 and replaced in 1996 and is still there (this info can be found on Wikipedia, by the way). Banjochris (talk) 21:12, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
