  • I'd move the "Dewey Bridge fire" section into the description, or into a separate "Dewey Bridge" section. It doesn't really relate to the history of SR-128 any more than the other bridge information does. --NE2 07:52, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed, the more I look at it, this shouldn't be its own section. As I suspect this won't be the only feedback, I'll move when I'm making the next round of fixes. Thanks. Dave (talk) 03:58, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I think there's actually enough to support a separate article on the bridge. --NE2 11:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Castleton is a ghost town at the south end of Castle Valley. It appears on detailed maps of the area. The book Grand Memories (already used as a source in this article) has a one page writeup on it. Most locals now just consider the area part of Castle Valley. I'd say for now pipe link or redirect.
Creating a separate article for the bridge is on my get around to it list (among many others). However, I'm aware of some other documents that exist that I'm trying to get my hands on first.Dave (talk) 17:19, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, how did I miss that. Thanks. I also just noticed that three consecutive sentences start with "The bridge..." I'll get on all of the above suggestions.Dave (talk) 22:58, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Looks good to me now. I just think the last sentence in the 2nd lead paragraph sticks out a little, but thtat's just me. Good job with the article - CL — 18:40, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved issues from Polaron
  • Comments
    • I went through the article and made some grammatical fixes, particularly in the area of comma usage. You may want to go through or have someone else go through the article again since I'm sure I missed some of them. Look at my edits for examples.
    • There is currently no designation history in the introduction. I think it should be mentioned there.
    • Refs 2 and 4 appear to be referencing the same fact, i.e. that it is called "River Road". Is there a reason why two separate references are needed in different spots?
    • The fire in the introduction should probably be cited, particularly as a cause of the fire is mentioned.
    • The Dewey Bridge section in the Route description seems inappropriate. It's basically a mini-article of the bridge. Perhaps a separate bridge article should be made. Otherwise, a current description of the bridge is sufficient for the route description and move the rest to the history section.
    • The abbreviation "SR-128" should be mentioned in the first sentence.
    • Use words when writing out small numbers, e.g. "two runs of seven cables" rather than "2 runs of 7 cables".
    • The phrase "...the nerve it took to cross..." sounds awkward. Maybe reword it to something like "...their nervousness/anxiety in crossing..." or something to that effect.
    • Was the highway formed in 1931 or 1933? I believe the formed date for most state highway articles is when the current designation was applied to the road. Based on the text in the history, it appears that 1933 is this date.
  • That's all I could find for now. I think I fixed most of my other minor concerns. --Polaron
