Hmmm....

The article history looks a bit unstable at the moment,[1] if I or someone else reviews this article, will it not be changing much in the future? Just looking out for the stability criteria in WP:WIAGA is all.Homestarmy 00:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've put the article on hold, the stability problem doesn't seem malicious or anything like that, and after this I think it'd count as a stable article. Homestarmy 21:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA review

It's been 9 days since Homestarmy put the article on hold and it looks like the article's stayed pretty stable since then as he wanted, with just a couple added references and such. I'm going to go ahead and pass this article. Krimpet (talk/review) 01:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Next step

Perhaps before nominating this again, we should send this through full Peer review instead of just Highways PR. —Scott5114 ↗ 14:39, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Historic Topics

Missing are: Braden (spelling?) Field, later known as Max Hess Stadium, was the home of Allentown's Class A minor league baseball teams (Cardinals and Chiefs). The stadium was on the site of the current Lehigh Valley Mall near the intersection of MacArthur and Grape. "North 7th Street Extension" was the name commonly used in the 1950s, if not earlier, for what is now MacArthur Road. Two Guys from Harrison was a large men's clothing store on MacArthur Road near Eberhardt Road that caused a major controversy in the 1950s by selling goods on Sundays in violation of Pennsylvania's "Blue Laws." MacArthur Road was also the site of two radio stations--WKAP was on the west side of MacArthur just north of Rt. 22 across from the mall and WSAN just east of MacArthur on Mickley Rd. Also, on the northwest corner of MacArthur and Grape was the site of Allentown's first television station, a UHF station that was short lived. And today, several successful radio stations are based in the office building near the northwest cloverleaf at Rt. 22Allreet 22:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. You have to wonder why there is nothing about the history in the lead though? This means the lead is not entirely a summary of the article. Lampman (talk) 00:02, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
