GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:New Jersey Route 50/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Prose needs help.
1. The Pre-1927 Route 14 (New Jersey) link is malformed - try New Jersey Route 14 (pre-1927)?
2. Use abbreviations. For example, U.S. Route 50 (US 50) the first time, US 50 every subsequent time.
  1. "NJ xx" violates WP:SRNC. For that you need to use "Route xx."
3. The paragraphs in 1.2 are a bit long.
4. How many times do you need to use "Here," in a paragraph?
  1. Cut down on "A short distance later," and *any* phrase that you keep repeating.
5. Residential, woodland, farmland...
  1. You need to remove more.
    1. Still need to remove more. It's showing up several times in the same paragraph.
    2. "Past this interchange, Route 50 widens to a four-lane divided highway and coming to a partial interchange with the Atlantic City Expressway that has access to and from the westbound direction of the Atlantic City Expressway." - comes
      1. Again with "It continues to Tuckahoe and come to CR 669. "
6. Hist - mid-1970s (add hyphen)
Sourcing:
1. Standardize dates in citations.
2. phillyroads.com is not a RS.
Broad, but contains unnecessary detail.
Neutral.
Stable.
WP:ALT. Otherwise good.

On hold This article needs serious work. Please, before you nominate any more articles to GAN, fix them up so that they are not full of indiscriminate details. --Rschen7754 (T C) 06:08, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, I have replied to the above suggestions. Dough4872 (talk) 21:35, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Made notes above; everything else is good. --Rschen7754 (T C) 23:45, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Dough4872 (talk) 00:56, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have cut down on several repeated words such as "where" and forms of "intersect". I have also removed details about the surroundings to the point where I feel further reductions would make the physical description too undescriptive. Dough4872 (talk) 17:03, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should be good. Noticed that you introduced a grammar error in the latest round of fixes. --Rschen7754 (T C) 18:28, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed the grammar error. Dough4872 (talk) 15:20, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Passing article. Please go through your other articles and fix them. --Rschen7754 (T C) 21:38, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
