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.

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]

This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.^[4]
Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a. ^[5]
