1. Well-written: | ||
![]() |
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. | No issues. |
![]() |
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. | Issues fixed. |
2. Verifiable with no original research: | ||
![]() |
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. | |
![]() |
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). | |
![]() |
2c. it contains no original research. | Issues fixed. |
3. Broad in its coverage: | ||
![]() |
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. | Yes. |
![]() |
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). | The "route description" section, in my opinion, is a bit excessive with descriptions of the scenery the route passes, which are all based on Google Maps. However, after consulting other GA US routes, this seems to be accepted, so I will let this issue pass. |
![]() |
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. | Yes. |
![]() |
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. | No stability issues. |
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: | ||
![]() |
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. | Yes. |
![]() |
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. | Issues fixed. |
![]() |
7. Overall assessment. | All issues have been fixed. |
Suggestions which do not prevent this article's promotion, but would be welcome additions to the article:
- Include a link to U.S. Route 301 in Maryland in the first section of route description.
- "tolls are planned to be $4 for cars and $11 for trucks, with toll rates to rise 3.5 percent annually." Trivial issue, but the source says "about 3.5 percent annually". This seems odd to me...so would car tolls raise to $4.14 the second year? I would think that tolls would increase at an even amount, like $0.25.
- More images would be nice. There's a photo of the Summit Bridge on Commons and the photo of the US301/DE15/DE299 shields, while not of great quality, could be added.

Replies:
- The first sentence is to provide context about the entire length of the route while the second sentence describes the portion in Delaware.
- Cut back some information in lead.
- Changed to "by 1959" and added reference to previous map. Maps are considered reliable sources.
- Added picture of Summit Bridge to History section. the pictures of the proposed US 301 freeway are copyrighted and cannot be added to the article. Adding the external media template would be redundant as the map of the proposed freeway is provided in reference 27.
- Added "about" to sentence about tolls.
Thanks for the review, I have replied to the above comments. Dough4872 18:12, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- Everything looks good except the first sentence of the lead. The first sentence needs to be about the subject of the article: U.S. Route 301 in Delaware, not U.S. Route 301. The hatnote serves the function of directing users to the article for the entire route (see: WP:LEADSENTENCE) and details of the entire route do not need to be included in the lead, especially the first sentence (relation between hatnote and first sentence of the lead is explained here). I've added the external media template to link to a map of the US 301 Project (it's used where an image would be used, so the "Planned upgrade" section, not bottom of the article). It's not redundant to the ref because it serves a different purpose—used in place of media. Plus the image linked in the template is a small image, unlike the large PDF file in reference 27.
