GA review

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
Slightly confused. SR 175 is part of the Seneca Turnpike. Which is named after the now-defunct Seneca Turnpike Corporation. Which is not related to the "New Seneca Turnpike". Which leads to the question... why mention the Seneca Turnpike Corporation at all? Some {{convert}} tags needed, and standalone years shouldn't be wikilinked per MOS. "Route 175 doesn't follow the original route of the Turnpike anymore" should be rewritten.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
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):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Let me know if you have any questions! —Rob (talk) 00:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everything is complete. I decided rather to remove the Seneca Turnpike mention.^Mitch 32 ^contribs 01:06, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks... looks good. —Rob (talk) 02:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article fails MOS:SYL pretty bad...there's standalone years/decades linked all over the place. – T M F 00:22, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I rewrote the article on the same standard as NY 174, so I probably screwed up in a few places.^Mitch 32 ^contribs 00:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's also at least a half-dozen non-breaking spaces that make no sense where they are used, including in the NY 174 boldface at the outset of the article, following "1800" in the lead, and between "174" and "and" in the second paragraph of the description. Also, common terms like "farmland" and "forest" shouldn't be linked per WP:OVERLINK. – T M F 00:46, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done I believe. Anything else?^Mitch 32 ^contribs 00:52, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The history has the same problem with the non-breaking spaces: I found one instance where "175" and "at" were joined by one. – T M F 00:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think I got them all, if you could give it a lookover?^Mitch 32 ^contribs 01:03, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No...the one I pointed out above is still there. Third paragraph, second sentence. There's also one in the sentence that begins "Route 20N..." a few sentences later. After that's done, the history has serious prose issues, including misspellings, flow, and clarity ("The road went entirely unchanged again, and by 1989, was along its current alignment on Lee Mulroy Road (County Route 73)." - huh?) – T M F 01:10, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
