GA review (see here for criteria)

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    "One of three within Essex County", need to clarify here. The sentence "Several greenhouses are visible near the southern end of the highway, a small percentage of the 610 hectares (1,500 acres) of land occupied by them in the Leamington area, more than anywhere else in North America." sounds awkward.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    Citation needed for "On January 1, 1998, Highway 18 was transferred to Essex County, and Highway 77 truncated by 1.7 km (1.1 mi) to the new Leamington Bypass of Highway 3, which opened in 1999."
  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):
    An image of the road would be nice, but not required.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

I will place the article on hold for a few fixes. Dough4872 00:29, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okee dokee. Fixed number 1 (I think) by removing the last bit about Leamington having the most in NA (better reserved for the Leamington article methinks) and by clarifying that its one of three highways in Essex County. Number 2 I spent the last few days attempting to fix. The best source I could find was a member of parliament complaining about the new bypass two weeks after it opened. The present truncated highway length is sourced using a 1990 map and 2010 map to compare, and the bit about Highway 18 is gone (as is any specific date, which I can't source at the moment). No pictures unfortunately - I've tried to get people to take one for many months now, and its several hundred kilometres from myself. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 01:21, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
