  • "by locals.[3]" why only one sentence in the lead cited? Should be in the main body too (and expanded upon if possible) so cite it there.
  • You usually say how long it is in the lead.
  • "was decommissioned in 1996.[citation needed]" speaks for itself...
  • "The route of Highway 38 in 1997 began" why in 1997?
  • "the Trans-Canada Trail, an" our article doesn't hyphenate this.
  • However, "an all season hiking" all-season here needs to be hyphenated.
  • "travels through Hartington" link Hartington first time.
  • "route meandering around" meanders.
  • "an all girls overnight " I would hyphenate all girls here as it's being used as an adjective.
  • "assumed the 76.0 km" sorry, what do you mean?
  • "Following World War 2" II
  • "the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario.[21] " overlinked.
  • Ref 1 & 2 & 5 & 13 & 28 spaced hyphen should be en-dash.
  • Frontenac News should be a work.
  • C.P. Robins -> C. P. Robins.
  • Ref 17, ELLIPSIS needs a non-breaking space before it in this use.
  • Kingston Whig is a newspaper too.
  • Second external link needs an en-dash.

That's it, on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:01, 6 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Fixes made, except the overlink to the MTO above the intersection list. As for why 1997, that was the last year it existed as a provincial highway. This has been one of those things where I'm not sure how to best describe the route: from a contemporary standpoint or from a present standpoint? Also, I'm very surprised we don't have an article for route assumption. - Floydian τ ¢ 01:52, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Understood, it's certainly good enough for GA so I'm happy to promote. I'll see if I can find another of yours to do! Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:35, 9 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
I very much appreciate it, doubly so your repeated reviews of my submissions; I know that I'm getting thorough inspections from you! Hopefully the next one has less of my perennial issues. :) -- Floydian τ ¢ 04:04, 10 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
