GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    See below for the prose issues. I'm not quite sure the image is supposed to be left-aligned.
    I have not had grief for it in other articles, and it seems to balance out the infobox in my opinion. --AdmrBoltz 00:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    I've got a couple issues with these, see below.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    The lead probably needs to be twice as long. Could you explain a little more about the construction in the history? It's only in one sentence. For example, what direction was it constructed in? Were there phases? Have there been any improvements? Were there any former routes on this alignment? If there is no answer for any of these and there are no references listing explanations, then what is in the article is fine.
    History tweaked. Lead expanded some, but remember its a summary, not a full on repeat of info from the article. --AdmrBoltz 00:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
    By the way, interesting edit summaries.
    Heh, thanks :p --AdmrBoltz 00:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  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):
    Southbound on I-81 where?
     Done --AdmrBoltz
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    I am placing this article on hold to allow for fixes.

Some issues:

General:

Lead:

Route description:

History:

Exit list:

  • I don't think "cloverleaf interchange" should be included in the notes. It is a freeway, as we all know.
    • Yes, but typically when you do not have a normal diamond interchange, they are noted. This is also the only non-diamond interchange on the highway.

References:

I believe the article is ready to pass. Congratulations. --PCB 00:53, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
