Talk:County Route 236 (Onondaga County, New York)/GA1

GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
A short article about a short road. For the most part, things seem good. A few things that came up during the review:

1. There is a redlinked image in the infobox.

1. Can't solve that -that is an infobox glitch.

1. A map would be helpful. I know you will want the article promoted without one, but I would at least like to see a request placed for a map.

1. Request made.

1. "Route 236 actually terminates" - no need for "actually"

1. Done.

1. "named for a reason" - sounds awkward; can it be rephrased?

1. Done.

1. wikilink "concurrent"

1. Done.

1. If it is going to be referred to as "CR 236" in the article, this should be in parentheses after the first mention of the name.

1. Done.

"The highway is then known as Shepard Road, quickly intersecting with County Route 244,..." - this is awkward, as "intersecting" is grammatically incorrect as it is used here.

1. Done.

1. Can anything more be said about the history? There isn't much about the road itself.

No, I did this because it seemed like an interesting highway to write about, especially that it ends with itself, I'm sure later digging will find something.

1. Is there an explanation for the naming of Shepard Road?

No. :(

1. "passes the same surroundings as it had on Limeledge Road" - I am unsure of what this means.

1. Clarified.

1. "Acme Mapper view of Marcellus, NY" - can more be said about this? I have no idea what it is.

That is a deprecated ref, I have removed it.

I will place this nomination on hold to allow for these concerns to be addressed and/or discussed. Any questions and/or comments can be left here, as I have placed this page on my watchlist. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:56, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused. If more can be said about the history ("I'm sure later digging will find something"), why can't it be added now? GaryColemanFan (talk) 16:30, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Found what I could.Mitch32^(UP) 18:46, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I would still like to know if more is available. Is there absolutely nothing written about initial construction, history of the designation, improvements, etc.? GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:33, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Due to a lack of response, I am going to request a second opinion. I am not convinced that this article is sufficiently comprehensive or that sufficient effort has gone into finding the missing information. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:04, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not always that fast to reply. Do you really expect every road article to have the same information in it?Mitch32^(UP) 18:06, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem. I expect that something can be said about the history. The additions you just made are exactly what I'm looking for. I need to do a bit of copyediting to the paragraph above that, but I'll pass the article once that's done. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

As we speak, I am adding even more :) - Thanks.Mitch32^(UP) 18:47, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good. I'll wait for that. I'm also a little confused by "The New York State Department of Transportation marked in a 1989 and 1990 Digital Roster Quadrangle for the towns of Marcellus and Camillus marks the County Route..." It seems like a word is missing. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Stuff added, comment fixed, and the rest is up to you.Mitch32^(UP) 19:03, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to drag this out, but I still don't understand what that sentence is saying. Perhaps if you explain it here, I could help work on the phrasing. I did some copyediting, so everything else is fine for a GA pass. GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:30, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Tried again. I split it up a little better for flow.Mitch32^(UP) 12:47, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, that's easier to follow. I'm now promoting the article. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:14, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
