GA Review

edit

This review is transcluded from Talk:New York State Route 10/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.


GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS):  
    "6 miles (9.7 km)" is a rounding error. "The run of NY 10 through New York's largest park is predominantly rural yet scenic in nature." - borderline subjective, unless it's marked as a scenic route on a reliable map, or described as such by a reliable source.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
    "The entire length of NY 10A is kept clean under the Adopt-A-Highway program by the Residents of Route 10A." - needs a reference.
Removed; only possible reference would be a photo. Fwgoebel (talk) 11:28, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
  1. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
    Maybe want to mention elevation or whether or not the route is in hilly terrain, but that's optional.
  2. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  3. It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:  
  4. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
    Umm... no images for a 155 mile road? This qualifies as a dealbreaker, unfortunately. :-(
  5. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
    Needs an image, IMHO. If it was a short state route 200 miles from the nearest city, I would understand, but this one seems to stretch, and I can't really imagine it in my mind. —Rob (talk) 03:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Done - The ones that Fwogebel didn't get I have fixed.Mitch32(UP) 10:24, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Oh and - Pictures are not easy you know :P Mitch32(UP) 10:24, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I know... it seems kind of arbitrary, but pics of a road are much easier than people - the road's location is known, it's just a matter of getting there. (I don't even think fair-use pics of living people are allowed on Wikipedia, so we should exceed that standard.) —Rob (talk) 16:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Actually, the image that was removed is OK... it looked like NY 10 was on that road. Alternatively, a good overview image of a city on the route (that just happens to have the route of NY 10 in the picture) would also be acceptable. —Rob (talk) 17:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
There are now five (5) photos, not including the deleted one (I did get one of the same intersection, but showing more). If five is too much, we can reduce. I concentrated on the northern 2/3 of the route for those. Oh, and...there have never been any cities on NY 10. :-) Fwgoebel (talk) 03:06, 6 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Cities, hamlets, towns... they're all the same to me. :-D Looks good now; thanks! —Rob (talk) 16:02, 6 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned references in New York State Route 10

edit

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of New York State Route 10's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "2008tvr":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 13:15, 4 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

NY 8/NY 10 Discrepancy

edit

I’m posting this on the New York State Route 8 and New York State Route 10 talk pages because I plan to resolve the discrepancy about the former NY 8 and NY 10 overlap. The NY 10 article indicates they no longer overlap and uses a 2017 NYSDOT document to justify that position. The NY 8 article claims the 2017 document is erroneous and the routes still overlap.

I contacted the NYSDOT 9 Public Information Officer, who pursued this with the NYSDOT 9 Traffic & Safety Director and the Delaware South Resident Engineer. I was informed that Reference Marker 1000 (the indication of the start of a New York Route) for NY 8 is at the former split of NY 8 and NY 10. Therefore, NY 8 begins where NY 10 turns right to head east along the Cannonsville Reservoir. No one was willing to state definitively that all NY 8 reference signs were removed between NY 17 and the current start of NY 8.

I plan to perform the updates to both articles in about a week. Incidentally, I checked GoogleMaps and MapQuest. MapQuest identifies the section of road in question as NY 10. GoogleMaps identifies it as NY 8. I’ll contact GoogleMaps after I’ve made the changes.WarrenFW (talk) 05:54, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
