This article is beautiful. Hard to say there's any problems with it. It meets all criteria for GA status. Mitch 32contribs 20:09, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Three fixes before TFA day
If we can, three things should be fixed:  Imzadi 1979  →   15:06, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) The press release from the Oklahoma Legislature has a dead link. Ideally, we should find an archived copy someplace.
 * 2) Based on that release, we have a construction cost figure in the article. We need the year of reference for that value. The article previously used the Consumer Price Index tool from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis to convert that to 2008 dollars. For capital expenditures such as this, we should use the US Nominal Gross Domestic Product per Capita index, which we can automatically generate using inflation. However, we need the appropriate year of reference, which I set to 2002 for now based on the date of the press release.
 * 3) One of the news articles without an external link is missing a page number. If possible, that should be added to complete the citation.

Spoken Wikipedia
Hello editors. My wife frequently suffers from insomnia, and one thing we've discovered is that reading from Wikipedia is an effective way of. . . boring her to sleep. To that end, I have been reading Wikipedia articles to her when she needs it and I've got a computer handy. Just after I finished reading List of common misconceptions, I had the idea that I could help out the community by recording the reading of the article, and contributing to the WP:SPEAK project. I plan on recording this article, soon (probably the next time she needs some help sleeping and I've got a computer). Don't expect an amazing reading, but it'll be something. I'm working under the assumption that something is better than nothing. McKay (talk) 04:13, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

FA notes
Looks like this older FA is in pretty good shape, although there are a couple spots that needs a slight-touchup. There's a single sentence in the route description that lacks a citation that should be super easy to cite. The Chickasaw Turnpike has only two lanes for the majority of its length; however, there is a short eastbound passing lane. The Chickasaw is the only two-lane turnpike in Oklahoma. Lightly traveled, the road is used by about 2,000 vehicles per day is sourced to a 2002 source - a more recent source would be nice to support the only two-lane turnpike, and a more recent source for usage figures would be nice, if available. Here's a 2014 source - I don't know where to hunt for a more recent one. A citation for the notes in the exit list would also be nice.

Overall, this is in pretty good shape. Marking this as satisfactory at WP:URFA/2020, with this note. Hog Farm Talk 00:16, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
