GA review (see here for criteria)

---

This is a nice piece of work, but I am placing it on hold so that you can address a few concerns.

Disamb link: Hager House.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   "constructed in the late 1900s" means 1995. Just say "1909" which is what appears in the History section.

   "crosses Norfolk Southern Railway's Hagerstown District" - what is it? a line? a freight yard?

    Fixed I clarified that it is a rail line.  VC  20:36, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

   "and immediately crosses the Norfolk Southern rail line again" - at grade?

    Fixed I clarified that the highway crosses over the rail line.  VC  20:36, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

   "bridge across the Potomac River was rebuilt in 1978 and 1979" should be "bridge across the Potomac River was rebuilt in 1978-79" because it was only rebuilt once.

    Fixed I changed to a single year, 1979, to remove the ambiguity.  VC  20:36, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

   "For this extension, US 11 was relocated to a tunnel underneath the extended runway in 2006." I assume that when building the tunnel, they did not go back to the original alignment, but kept the curve. Please state one way or the other.

   I rewrote the sentence as follows: "For this extension, US 11 was relocated to a tunnel underneath the extended runway along the curved alignment in 2006." Let me know if that addresses the issue or if you have any further suggestions.  VC  20:36, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   In route description, clarify that the WVA-MD state line is the south side of the Potomac River, so that the bridge is in Maryland.

    Fixed  VC  20:36, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

   Based on actual signage, it is accurate to say that the junction is with both I-81 and I-70 in the junction table?

    Fixed I checked the signage and I-70 is not included, so I removed the I-70 mention from the Junction list.  VC  20:36, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

I am putting the article on hold. Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 03:13, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
