GA review (see here for criteria)

---

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • In mentioning the place names for the termini in the infobox, you use West Windsor, Ontario and City of Windsor/Town of Tecumseh. Can this be reformatted to be consistent?
   • The mention of the eastern terminus in the infobox needs to be cleaned up. I would fix it to read "Banwell Road on border of City of Windsor/Town of Tecumseh", linking the latter town.

   • Both the above fixed. - Floydian ^τ _¢

   • "the E. C. Row" sounds colloquial, should refer to it as the E. C. Row Expressway.

   • It is commonly referred to by this name by local news sources, so I assume it is a common local nickname, possibly even official in some way. - Floydian ^τ _¢

   • You use "sandwiched" a lot in the route description. Can some of these instances be replaced with different words?

   • Only twice actually haha... but I changed one instance regardless. - Floydian ^τ _¢

   • The link Edward Charles Row needs to be fixed as it links to an unrelated person.

   • Delinked the second instance that does this. No article for him, but it is a worthy candidate for one in the future. - Floydian ^τ _¢

   • I noticed Highway 2 is unlinked in the Route description and the first instance in the History while linked in the second instance in the History. I would link the route at the first point it is mentioned in the prose.

   • Removed link from history section as it's already linked in the lede. - Floydian ^τ _¢

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   • Can a source be added for the length in the infobox?

   • It can, and it has. - Floydian ^τ _¢

   • Citation needed for "The westernmost 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) of the expressway is undergoing reconstruction as part of the Herb Gray Parkway project, which will also result in construction of a new international crossing northwest of the intersection with Ojibway Parkway."

   • This statement is still unsourced. Dough4872 01:42, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

   • The sentence "No work has progressed on the extension since." needs a citation.
   • The entire future section is uncited; sources need to be added.

   • With recent completion of the Herb Grey Parkway alongside the E.C. Row, I have updated the History and Future Section and cited. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 01:15, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   • Can some more historical information be added to the lead? Specifically when the expressway was built.

   • Done. - Floydian ^τ _¢

   • Do you have a kilometerpost for the Highway 401 junction?

   • Not that I can source at this time, though I know what it is. - Floydian ^τ _¢

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. 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):

   A photo of the road would be nice, but not required.

   Hadn't checked for several years,

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

I will put the article on hold for fixes to be made. Dough4872 02:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, just got the notice of this about 2 or 3 days ago. All fixes made. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 01:15, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

There is still one unsourced statement I pointed at above that needs to be addressed before I can pass this. Dough4872 01:42, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Fixed. Thanks for the review :) - Floydian ^τ _¢ 03:15, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

I will pass the article. Dough4872 03:18, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
