GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
The route description seems to have a repetitive tone with many sentences containing "it passes", "it travels", etc. Do not need to use "then" when describing progression of route in route description. "From this junction, Highway 129 travels northwest towards Highway 101, where drivers must turn to remain on the route.", what direction must the drivers turn? "The route number has since been reused in Parry Sound District.", perhaps indicate what route number was reused.
Fixed the first and the last. As for the middle, the highways meet at a three-way junction. There is only going straight or turning. Still think I should slip "west" into there? - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 04:30, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Citation needed for "Services are few and far between on the highway."
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
"This designation lasted until as early as 1974 and as late as 1978", is there confusion as to when the designation was removed?
I've only got maps to go by for that, and unfortunately I don't have enough to pinpoint the exact year it was removed... yet. That being said, this is more specific than any information available elsewhere on the net. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 04:30, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
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):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I will place the article on hold for a few fixes. Dough 48 72 22:53, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've inserted my replies above. Unfortunately that date range is as specific as I can reliably source at this point. Thank you for the review! - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 04:30, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have made the direction fix myself, and I will now pass the article. Dough 48 72 18:43, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

corrections[edit]

It should be mentioned that The Tunnel Lake Trading Post and Motel, six miles north of Wharncliffe just north of the 554 turnoff is open daily year round and is a LCBO agency store, sells gas, diesel, bait, and a small inventory of groceries and tourist type gifts. This would correct the the statement there is no gas station on highway 129. They sell gas in Little Rapids too. And I'm sorry if i buggered this up I never posted before.--Hermit2012 (talk) 20:07, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
