GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Overall, not a bad job.

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:

B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. Has an appropriate reference section:

B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:

C. No original research:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:
Honestly, I wouldn't type a whole paragraph about two short, insignificant bridges.

B. Focused:
I'm very sure a description of a 12 mile road could be (slightly) longer than that, and a Pennsylvania route usually has more history than that.
Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
No controversial sections.
Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
Although Dough4872 has done majority of the work.
Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:

B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
No pictures, but it will be okay without one.
Overall:
Pass or Fail:

Comments

No designation date in the infobox?

Done but I still can't find the designation date, I just wrote a time period (between 1930-1940) that I know it was created

Information about the two bridges should belong in the history more than the description. You only need a slight mention in the route description.
Box Beam → Box beam

Done

Where on the road was the traffic count measured?

Done

If you are going to talk about the bridge, maybe talk about when it was built?

Done

You are missing the cartographer parameters in {{Cite map}}.
A KML file would be nice.
I might be wrong, but isn't Pennsylvania State Highway Agency PennDOT?

Done Fixed, I believe you are right.

The part about the route not in the NHS is kinda unnecessary.

Done

I recommend that you move the third paragraph of the Route description to history.

I kept most of the material in the 'Route description' section, but I moved some of it (creation dates and reconstruction date) to the 'History' section

'All of PA 456 has an annual average daily traffic of about 526 vehicles per day.' "All of" is redundant

Y discussed this with you on IRC

Try to organize the route description from south to north, or west to east. The sentence about Little Cove Creek should be before the sentence about Licking Creek, I think.
There's a typo in the route description's third paragraph.

Done

Now you've added more information to the description, I suggest merging the first 4 paragraphs together.
Instead of a separate paragraph on bridges, describe the bridges where the route passes it.

This articles still has many issues with citations and organization, and I think this would take lots of time to work on. I'm afraid that I will have to fail this article for now. You can renominate the article if you want to.—CycloneIsaac–E-Mail 22:22, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
