Needed for the article
editHere are some things I would like for the article:-
- Maps of the route for the infoboxes
- Photos of the route (has anyone got a picture of the tree in the middle of the road near Lake Rotoma?)
- The symbols for the Thermal Explorer Highway and the Pacific Coast Highway to go into the junction table
- km for junctions. These are indicated by small signs at the junctions, and i amo noly sure about the ones near Rotorua (and Te Kuiti, as it must be 0)

GA Review
editThis review is transcluded from Talk:New Zealand State Highway 30/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose quality:
- I would look into some more blue links and an overall copyedit.
- B. MoS compliance:
- This article has some bad choices of headers. Most articles, even outside the U.S. follow USRD structure.
- A. Prose quality:
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:
- This article is poorly referenced. There is 1 citation in the entire article and I really doubt this will pass with just one citation.
- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
- See above.
- C. No original research:
- See above.
- A. References to sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- For 136 miles, this can definitely have a longer "route" section. Try to look at some of the USRD featured articles for an example of what a good route description should look like.
- B. Focused:
- See above.
- A. Major aspects:
- Is it neutral?
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:

- No edit wars, etc:
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- There is not one image in the article, instead all it has is just the 2 shields for 30 and 30A. Definitely an image of the highway or a map of the road would be helpful.
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:

This article has a long way to go before being ready for GAN. For now, I have failed this article because it does not meet most criteria. Good luck. Mitch32contribs 20:54, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
