GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
Starting the review of this article... Hello could you please address the following points:

1. Change spelling of sureying to surveying?
2. Change spelling of abanonded to abandoned?
3. From the automatic peer reviewer: Consider adding more links to the article; per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and Wikipedia:Build the web, create links to relevant articles.^[?]
4. From the automatic peer reviewer: You may wish to consider adding an appropriate infobox for this article, if one exists relating to the topic of the article. ^[?] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually) (Or create / modify an infobox for use with tunnels, as the genre seems to be growing)
5. This sentence could use a good copyedit and cropping...especially where bolded.The reason for abandonment was that it was thought to be less expensive to realign the Turnpike than to bore a second tube for four lane traffic.
6. Why is just Hungarian wiki-linked and not the other ethnicities at .... Just sixteen days later, another blast occurred in the tunnel, taking the lives of a Hungarian worker, along with two African-Americans, two Italians, and one Irishman.
7. Again another sentence which could use a good copyedit cropping especially the bolded section again... When the Pennsylvania Turnpike opened on October 25, 1940, the Sideling Hill Tunnel was one of the seven original tunnels along the highway, six of which were used out of old railroad tunnels from the 1880s.
8. IMHO the following sentence to the above does not require the parenthesis.
9. These two sentences contradict each other...which is true to the cited source?.Starting in 1951, the Pennsylvania Turnpike began to receive congestion at its tunnels. T ... From the Turnpike's opening in 1940 until the realignment projects, the tunnels were bottlenecks due to reduced speeds with opposing traffic in the same tubes.
10. Fix grammar...was is to refer to singular items and were is for plural...the main locations of the congestion was the east–west tunnels. From the little map aren't all the tunnels east west?
11. Beginning in 1951... Starting in 1951... Two consecutive sentences starting about the same, can one be re-worded?
12. Another time to do a copy-edit crop...remove bolded bit...By 1958, the Laurel Hill experienced congestion anytime from June to November of the year.
13. Wikilink twinning to the wikipedia article Dual Carriageway.
14. Plunk the monetary amounts into Template:Inflation...if not in the article proper, then in footnotes or the references.
15. This wording does not sound conventional... construction project to work with the tunnels.
16. ...add project was completed to , the project completed,
17. This itsy bitsy sentence...The Laurel Hill Tunnel was closed. can it not be a part of the one previous with a copy edit...
18. suggested that best way to solve needs a word the ...suggested that the best way to solve
19. The sentence beginning The Commission awarded three contracts ... is long and needs re-reading to follow along, could it be re-worded.
20. The sentence beginning With the lack of good lighting ... needs a tweaking.

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   As above points

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   the reference New York Times. July 23, 1885. is the same as the previous reference so mayhaps the link needs to be fixed...The book references have been taken on good faith

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   The first ref is fascinating... can this be added to the article about the Rays Hill-Sideling Hill bypass ... "increased the number of lanes from four to ten..." and "new Breezewood Interchange. "

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

   history and talk pages both look stable

6. 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):

   All images are in the public domain and have captions

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Good luck improving the article!
