GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
There should not be bolding in the history section.

"(That part of I-80 was Interstate 880 until 1981.)" should not be in parentheses.

Both done. --Rs chen 7754 03:26, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Reference 1 is a SPS and should be replaced.

Done. --Rs chen 7754 02:09, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed for "(That part of I-80 was Interstate 880 until 1981.)"

Done. --Rs chen 7754 04:07, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

References 1 and 2 need publishers and accessdates and references 5, 6, and 7 need accessdates.

Done except for reference 1. --Rs chen 7754 03:36, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reference 4 is a dead link.

Link removed. --Rs chen 7754 05:02, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Can Legislative Route 288 be mentioned in the lead and bolded?

Done. --Rs chen 7754 03:48, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can some details about the physical surroundings be added to the route description?

Not done, and will not be done. --Rs chen 7754 03:43, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When was SR 244 built? This is not clearly mentioned in the history.

That's what the bridge dates are for... --Rs chen 7754 02:53, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest rewording "The bridges along the route date from 1971, a year after the bridges on I-80 to the west" to "SR 244 was built in 1971, a year after the portion of I-80 to the west. Dough 48 72 03:13, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still no; that misrepresents the source. Theoretically, the bridges could have been built in a different year. It may be impossible to determine when exactly the road was built; the bridge dates are our best bet. --Rs chen 7754 03:17, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You do not have a reliable source showing when the actual road was built? Dough 48 72 03:28, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would maps be any more accurate? --Rs chen 7754 03:32, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Maps from the time period would work. Dough 48 72 03:36, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
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):
An image of the road would be nice, but not required.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I will put the article on hold for fixes to be made. Dough 48 72 23:42, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to get to the rest of this as quickly as I can, but unfortunately the quarter has started again; it may take longer than 7 days. --Rs chen 7754 06:16, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Take your time, I will continue to hold the article. Dough 48 72 15:40, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Everything should be good to go. I apologize about the SPS; I should have caught that before nom'ing. --Rs chen 7754 04:07, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will now pass the article. Dough 48 72 04:08, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
