Hello! I will be reviewing your nomination to see if it is worthy of GA status. Now, this is going to be my first review so I might make mistakes but I hope to give you a full review. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:12, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Alright, I am done with my review. I will put this On Hold so that you can finish this review. I know you are semi-retired and your last edit was back in 10 November 2022 but I do hope that you come and edit this article so it can be promoted. Onegreatjoke (talk) 01:57, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

@A Texas Historian: I will have to notify you that if you do not make any comments in a week I will have to fail this nomination. Onegreatjoke (talk) 03:50, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke, blundering in while looking at GANs with inactive nominators - 10 days ago you said this would be failed within a week if no response. Just a reminder that this might need actioning. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:49, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Failing for inactivity. Feel free to nominate it again and I'll review it again. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:55, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Prose

• "According to TxDOT traffic along the highway is higher at its western end, which averaged 1,179 vehicles in 2021 on average, while its eastern terminus averaged only 248 vehicles a day." should be "According to TxDOT, traffic along the highway is higher at its western end, which averaged 1,179 vehicles in 2021 on average, while its eastern terminus averaged only 248 vehicles a day."
• "At the hearing, the state's proposal was supported by local officials including the county Commissioners' Court, Bonham Water Authority, and Bonham Chamber of Commerce." should be "At the hearing, the state's proposal was supported by local officials, including the county Commissioners' Court, Bonham Water Authority, and Bonham Chamber of Commerce."
• " According to TxDOT traffic along the highway is higher at its western end, which averaged 1,179 vehicles in 2021 on average," The double use of average seems wordy. Try to find a way to word the sentence so that average is only used once.
• "(equivalent to $131,174,977 in 2020 in 2020)" You repeated in 2020 twice.

MOS

MOS seems to be okay. This section is a pass.

Referenced

For the Route Description Section.

• "After intersecting Circle Drive, approximately 0.9 miles (1.4 km) into its course," The google maps source provided gives me approximately 0.8
• "After a T-intersection with CR 2608 to the south," It doesn't look like a T-intersection on the google map though I could be wrong.
• "after traveling a total distance of 2.037 miles (3.278 km)." Though source 1 verifies this, sources 2 and 3 don't. So it'd probably be best to move citation 1 down there.
• "RE 3 is maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) as part of the Recreational Road system." Should probably have a citation that states this in my opinion.

Now for the History section.

• What makes "Measuring Worth" a reliable source. Also, I'm likely dumb, but I can't seem to verify the money claims on the website.
• "Two highways, RE 255 and RE 2, were added to the system at the time." Citation 10 doesn't explicitly state this.
• I don't have access to citation 13 so I might have to assume good faith on it. Though I'd like if you can provide the quote that verifies the claim of the sentence it's cited in.
• "upgrading the surface to all-weather asphalt pavement and smoothing out three sharp curves" Being picky but the source says eliminating not smoothing out. Though it may be the same thing and I'm just dumb.

And that's it!

No Copyright Violations

No copyright violations have been detected per earwig. This section is a pass.

Broad

Article seems broad. Though I do wonder if there is more you could add to the history section since it seems weird to end it at 1972. Though, if that's all what is available then i'll be fine passing this section.

Neutral

Article seems neutral. This section is a pass.

Stable

No ongoing edit wars. This section is a pass.

Media

Images seem good. But I think that you should add an interactive map in the infobox like in Texas Recreational Road 2.
