   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• Don't think the term Canadian should be linked; how about linking Canadian province to the relevant article?
• The wikilink for St. Lawrence Seaway doesn't need to be directed to Saint Lawrence Seaway

Route description

• Wikilink St. Lawrence Parks Commission
• "The later contains a nature trail as well as a boat launch.[3][1][8]" - I think the refs would be better off in numerical order
• In the third and fourth paragraphs, some mentions of "named for" can be changed for variety
  • How's that? Threw in a couple "honouring" and "named after" and even managed to slip in a "in remembrance of"
• "as well as the Lock 21 and Camp Carp campsites.[4][1][8]" - the numbering of the refs might be better off placed in numerical order
• "The Long Sault Parkway is considered one of the most scenic drives in Ontario." - considered by whom?
  • The people and magazines listed through the remainder of that paragraph. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 18:28, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
• How about add the reviewers names of The Globe and Mail and Ultimate Ontario since they are mentioned in their articles?
  • I'm not seeing a reviewer byline, so I'm not sure what to do for this one. However, if you are seeing something I'm not, feel free to add it in. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 18:28, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

History

• Moses-Saunders Power Dam doesn't need to be linked here
• "At 8 am, 30 tons" - the convert template is missing on the text in bold
  • TNT equivalent doesn't really have a conversion that I know of. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 18:28, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
• Department of Mines might benefit from being wikilinked

Major intersections

• "The entire route is located in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry." - needs verifying with a reliable source

References

• Reference 22 is missing the author

@Floydian: My apologies for the late reply but am now promoting this article to GA status MWright96 (talk) 06:58, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Before we shut down, could you give me some insight regarding reviewers for that Globe and Mail article? - Floydian ^τ _¢ 10:22, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
