GA Review

[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

  1. Lead: - "pre" should not be capitalized. 1.1 - "heading the southeast " - don't need the. 1.2 - "freeway forms the border between Summit, Union County and Millburn" - townships? History - "Plans were made to finish the rest of the freeway to Interstate 287, however construction was halted for many years due to legal, environmental and budgetary problems." - should be a semicolon. Last sentence of history - any way to get rid of that block of four references?
  2. Usually we don't cite stuff in the lead. There should be adequate citations in the body of the article so that the citations in the lead are not necessary. Not sure if AlpsROADS is a reliable source, or if NYCRoads is either. - Can you please explain?
  3. Neutral, broad, stable, images good.

On hold I have some concerns about the sourcing - the prose is mostly good. --Rschen7754 (T C) 20:04, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have gone back and made some changes. The reason for the four references at the end of the history section is to verify the comparision in the the four web mapping services in marking the portion of Route 24 between Hackettstown and Morristown.

It looks ugly, could you at least break them up into 4 different chunks? --Rschen7754 (T C) 02:10, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Updated. --Rschen7754 (T C) 02:14, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have broken up the references Dough4872 (talk) 04:33, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Are AlpsROADS or NYCRoads reliable sources? --Rschen7754 (T C) 19:02, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
From what I can see, both are pretty reliable as they both get their information from other sources including maps, legal documents, and newspaper articles. Dough4872 (talk) 14:41, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've talked to some other editors and NYCRoads is probably okay to cite, but AlpsROADS might not be. However, we're discussing it. I'll keep the hold on even if the discussion takes longer than 7 days. --Rschen7754 (T C) 02:46, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion at WT:RS. --Rschen7754 (T C) 03:00, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Passing WP:RS/N seems to think it's okay. That being said, you may have issues if you take this article to FAC or if someone decides to get picky. --Rschen7754 (T C) 19:20, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
