GA review (see here for criteria)

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    • Could use a decent copyedit. There are many poorly-written sentences such as "In Florida until the 1990s, U.S. 1 used high-contrast markers (white text on a red background)", "Through Rockingham, it goes through downtown with a bypass in the future plans.", and "Through Penns Neck is a series of traffic signals. "
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    • The article has a few uncited statements, including "Moreover, NCDOT is planning to finish four laning US 1 in Richmond County past NC 177 with a Rockingham bypass to the east. There are no plans from SCDOT to widen US 1 from the state line. From Henderson into Virginia, U.S. 1 runs parallel with I-85 as a two-lane local road until the state line where Virginia hosts a continuous third center lane for alternate passing towards US Highway 58 before South Hill.", "As it enters Greenwich, Connecticut, it continues as a two lane local road.", "Brickell Avenue is the name given to the stretch of U.S. Route 1 in Miami, Florida just south of the Miami River."
    • Several references need to be formatted properly.
    • Reference 21 is a dead link.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    • The route description contains historical information that would be better suited for the history section.
  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):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

Looking at the article, there are several major issues that would take more than a week to fix. In addition, it appears the nominator is not a major contributor to the article. Therefore, I will have to fail it. The article may be renominated once the issues are addressed. Dough4872 23:46, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
