 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Warning: you will need non-map sources to take this to ACR or FAC.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * The history section is vague; the maps just aren't covering the whole story.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) 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):
 * Again not a criteria for GA, but the image is a little dark and could be adjusted.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

 * The road runs through areas of woods and farms with some homes In Blackiston, - lost a period
 * Try and cut down a little bit on the zoning.
 * In Clayton, the road crosses Norfolk Southern's Delmarva Secondary at-grade - explain that it's a railroad?

Hold - sure, a few minor things, but the history is quite vague. --Rschen7754 04:04, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have addressed the prose issues and have added some more detail to the history from non-map sources.  Dough 48  72  19:37, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * My main issue that remains is the sentence "By the 1990s, DE 6 was routed onto its current alignment through Smyrna." - we're given no context for what's changed or why these changes were made. --Rschen7754 20:42, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have added details about what changed with the rerouting. Unfortunately, I cannot find a reason why this happened.  Dough 48  72  22:09, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You might run into issues in future venues but I think this is good enough for GA. It might take me a while but I intend to pass the article. --Rschen7754 22:18, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I brightened up the image a bit... let me know what you (plural) think. Juliancolton (talk) 22:09, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks great! Thanks! --Rschen7754 22:18, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
