GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:New York State Route 61/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Once again, a well-written article that just needs a few minor changes:

1. A map would help quite a bit.

Will as soon as possible.Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. The wikilink to Niagara Falls should go to Niagara Falls, New York.

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. Italicizing "Hyde Park Boulevard" doesn't seem consistent with other road articles.

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "the roadway widens to include a center turn lane" - maybe it's just been a long day at work, but I can't picture this. Is there an intersection that just isn't mentioned in the prose?

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. should "turn lane" be "turning lane"? I've never heard anyone talk about a "turn lane", but this might be a regional difference.

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "NY 61 meets Ferry Avenue" - does this mean that they join (become concurrent)?

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "in the shadow of the Niagara Falls Courthouse" - "in the shadow of" doesn't seem encyclopedic.

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "NY 61 meets northbound US 62" - again, does this mean that they join? Is there another way of phrasing it so that it doesn't use exactly the same word (meets) as the previous sentence?

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "The pairing of Gill Creek and NY 61" - What is meant by "the pairing"?

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "(355 feet (108 m) long)" - parentheses inside parentheses are frowned upon. Since a conversion template is being used that automatically inserts parentheses, it seems like the sentence will have to be rephrased to get rid of the parentheses around "355 feet long".

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "before separating" -> "before they separate"

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "here carrying NY 182" - does this mean that Porter Road is designated as NY 182 at this point?

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "where it turns west toward the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge" - "it" needs to be clarified, as three roads have been discussed in the first half of the sentence.

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. "originally constructed in 1950, was reconstructed" - can one of the "constructed"s be changed to avoid repetition?

• Done - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. References 7 and 8 need publishers.

I tried, I don't think its a reliable source - but it'll do for now.Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll place this on hold for now. Comments and questions can be placed here. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:59, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

All done. :) - Mitch32^(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

It's getting close. The map would help quite a bit—any word on that? In "The paralleling of Gill Creek and NY 61", "paralleling" sounds awkward. The "here carrying NY 182" sentence hasn't been changed, so I still find it confusing. Aside from this, everything's looking good. Thanks for the quick response, GaryColemanFan (talk) 15:52, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Probably should promote without the map. The rest are done though.Mitch32^(UP) 19:51, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm happy with everything except the lack of a map. I agree that holding the nomination until a map can be made isn't productive, so I am promoting it. I have placed a request for a map at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Maps task force/Requests. If you are able to make or obtain one before the task force does, I would really appreciate it if you could delete my request. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:15, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Former NY 18E??

Is this map in error? --NE2 22:41, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
