Notes
[edit]*Section 1.1- contains the word "some" in referring to residences. This is a weasel word and is not for an article.
Removed. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)If you did fix, there is another, refering to homes. --MWOAP (talk) 02:54, 18 December 2009 (UTC)Fixed. ---Dough4872 03:42, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
*Section 1.1- routes cannot "leave". That is personification.
Fixed. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
*Section 1.1- "A short distance after"... Could we be a little more specific?
Added mileage to clarify. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
*Section 1.1- What is Harding Highway?
- The name US 40 takes on past the NJ 48 intersection. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
- Cleared up, thanks. --MWOAP (talk) 02:54, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
- The name US 40 takes on past the NJ 48 intersection. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
References- What about reference links to laws and newspapers.These links are not available. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)10-4. --MWOAP (talk) 02:54, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
*Section 2.0- Second last sentence, loses neutrality "However"
Removed word. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
*Intro- Intro (as I see a lot in transport articles) is too specific. It should summarize the article, not provide details.
Cut some information from lead. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
*All over- Wikilinks only need to be done once per section.
I don't see any repeated links in the prose within same section. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
*External Links- Need at least one, you could put NJDOT
Added a couple. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)Still could use NJDOT. --MWOAP (talk) 02:54, 18 December 2009 (UTC)There are not any more relevant NJDOT links that can be added. The speed limits are from NJDOT. The route's SLD from NJDOT is already a reference, so it would be redunant to add as an external link. In addition, the NJDOT home page would seem irrelevant here. ---Dough4872 03:42, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
*"Web references need the author, publisher, publishing date and access date." (from User:Ealdgyth/GA review cheatsheet)
It seems to me they all have it where available. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
*Portal links belong in the "See also" section. (from User:Ealdgyth/GA review cheatsheet)
By "Portal links", what are you referring to? ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
*All over- Withs are all over, see if we could be more specific. (i.e. "Using "with" as an additive link leads to wordy and awkward prose, e.g. "the town has ten councillors, with one being the district mayor" → "the town has ten councillors; one is the district mayor" " from User:Ealdgyth/GA review cheatsheet)
Removed several instances of "with". ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
*Avoid vague words, such as "various", "many", "several", "long", "a number of", "just", "very" and "almost". (from User:Ealdgyth/GA review cheatsheet)
Removed a couple of these words. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the review, I have replied to the above suggestions given to this point. I have removed the two original research tags as they are supported by the SLD and Google references. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
ok, still finishing up my review, (have to check sources, which takes a while, and have been busy). Could use a little more cleanup as above, I may post more here. --MWOAP (talk) 02:54, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
