GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Pennsylvania Route 663/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Overall, the article looks good. There are just a few things that came up while reading through it:

"Orlando Road, which intersected in Pottstown..." By "intersected", do you mean "split off"? If so, different phrasing would be helpful.
"Route 663 intersects with a road that takes you into a housing complex" "You" shouldn't be included in an encyclopedia. Perhaps "that ends at a housing complex"?
I'm not sure what is meant by "showing the way".
What is the road called when it is concurrent with State Route 73? And by concurrent, do you mean side-by-side?
In the "History" section, "was given pavement" sounds strange. Perhaps "was paved"?
"for which the highway crosses soon after" is confusing phrasing.
"Interstate 476 or the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Northeastern Extension" does this mean that Pennsylvania Turnpike's Northeastern Extension is Interstate 476? If so, a comma is missing after 476.
"The route leaves Milford Township, but not after passing through Milford Square, a small municipality in the town." This is

a confusing sentence. It seems to be saying that SR 663 doesn't pass through Milford Square. Am I reading that correctly?

Can more information be provided for reference 8 (the atlas)?

I will place the nomination on hold to allow for these concerns to be addressed and/or discussed. Any questions or comments can be left here, as I have added this page to my watchlist. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 21:46, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All done except for #4 - which means that the two highways are on the same road.Mitch32^(UP) 22:13, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick response to the review. I had checked Merriam Webster to make sure that I understood how "concurrent" was being used. It gave two definitions (running parallel, and meeting or intersecting in a point), which led to the confusion. I can't think of a better word to use in this article, though, and I think your clarification in the article helped. I'm still not crazy about "was given pavement", but maybe that's personal preference. At any rate, since the aricle meets the 6 criteria for a Good Article, I am promoting it. Great job!
