What steps need to be taken to make this article a GA? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 21:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It looks pretty good, although a few of the sentences seem a little long. Here's a few comments:

  • The history section doesn't cover the actual construction of I-5 and seems pretty brief. Compare to the GA article U.S. Route 66, for example.
  • Most of the notes section could be readily merged into the text, providing some content other than the general trip-report nature of most of the content. However, some of the notes will definitely need references.
  • How does I-5 compare with the other interstate freeways in the U.S.? Can that be mentioned in the text?
  • At the border with Mexico, does I-5 connect with a highway in that nation? I wasn't able to determine from the text.

Thanks. — RJH (talk) 19:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

  • The lead of this article may be too long, or may contain too many paragraphs. Please follow guidelines at WP:LEAD; be aware that the lead should adequately summarize the article.
  • Consider removing links that add little to the article or that have been repeated in close proximity to other links to the same article, as per WP:MOS-L and WP:CONTEXT.
  • Per WP:WIAFA, Images should have concise captions.[1]
  • Per WP:MOSNUM, there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18 mm.[2]

*Please alphabetize the interlanguage links.[3]
