Talk:County Route 236 (Onondaga County, New York)/GA1

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

A short article about a short road. For the most part, things seem good. A few things that came up during the review:


 * 1) There is a redlinked image in the infobox.
 * Can't solve that -that is an infobox glitch.


 * 1) A map would be helpful. I know you will want the article promoted without one, but I would at least like to see a request placed for a map.
 * Request made.


 * 1) "Route 236 actually terminates" - no need for "actually"
 * Done.


 * 1) "named for a reason" - sounds awkward; can it be rephrased?
 * Done.


 * 1) wikilink "concurrent"
 * Done.


 * 1) If it is going to be referred to as "CR 236" in the article, this should be in parentheses after the first mention of the name.
 * Done.

" The highway is then known as Shepard Road, quickly intersecting with County Route 244,..." - this is awkward, as "intersecting" is grammatically incorrect as it is used here.
 * Done.


 * 1) Can anything more be said about the history? There isn't much about the road itself.
 * No, I did this because it seemed like an interesting highway to write about, especially that it ends with itself, I'm sure later digging will find something.


 * 1) Is there an explanation for the naming of Shepard Road?
 * No. :(


 * 1) "passes the same surroundings as it had on Limeledge Road" - I am unsure of what this means.
 * Clarified.


 * 1) "Acme Mapper view of Marcellus, NY" - can more be said about this? I have no idea what it is.
 * That is a deprecated ref, I have removed it.

I will place this nomination on hold to allow for these concerns to be addressed and/or discussed. Any questions and/or comments can be left here, as I have placed this page on my watchlist. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:56, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Replies & dones made. Mitch 32(UP) 03:13, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused. If more can be said about the history ("I'm sure later digging will find something"), why can't it be added now? GaryColemanFan (talk) 16:30, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Found what I could. Mitch 32(UP) 18:46, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I would still like to know if more is available. Is there absolutely nothing written about initial construction, history of the designation, improvements, etc.? GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:33, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Due to a lack of response, I am going to request a second opinion. I am not convinced that this article is sufficiently comprehensive or that sufficient effort has gone into finding the missing information. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:04, 1 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I'm not always that fast to reply. Do you really expect every road article to have the same information in it? Mitch 32(UP) 18:06, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. I expect that something can be said about the history. The additions you just made are exactly what I'm looking for. I need to do a bit of copyediting to the paragraph above that, but I'll pass the article once that's done. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * As we speak, I am adding even more :) - Thanks. Mitch 32(UP) 18:47, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. I'll wait for that. I'm also a little confused by "The New York State Department of Transportation marked in a 1989 and 1990 Digital Roster Quadrangle for the towns of Marcellus and Camillus marks the County Route..." It seems like a word is missing. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Stuff added, comment fixed, and the rest is up to you. Mitch 32(UP) 19:03, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry to drag this out, but I still don't understand what that sentence is saying. Perhaps if you explain it here, I could help work on the phrasing. I did some copyediting, so everything else is fine for a GA pass. GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:30, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Tried again. I split it up a little better for flow. Mitch 32(UP) 12:47, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's easier to follow. I'm now promoting the article. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:14, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
