 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * A couple of small issues:
 * The description of the northern terminus is really confusing. Perhaps say that M-38 is a continuation? Or just remove the seamless phrase.
 * Changed.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:50, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * So what is the traffic between US 2 and the Gogebic–Ontonagon county line?
 * Added. I don't know why I missed pasting that figure before.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:50, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * "By July 1, 1919, the first roads to carry the M-64 designation were signed in the southern Lower Peninsula." I thought Keweenaw County was in the UP. This says "first roads" (plural).
 * Yes, that's correct. The first highways were each made up of several different roads strung together. The first M-64 was in the LP. The second was in Keweenaw County, and the third (current) was in Gogebic and Ontonagon counties.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:50, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Everything about M-129 is a little redundant as it is in two sections (both the previous section and the current section)
 * That's because MSHD moved the M-64 designation by flip-flopping it twice. The current M-64 was M-129 before the second flip-flop.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:50, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * What I am trying to get at is that "The next year, the M-64 number was swapped with another highway, the original M-129 that ran along the west side of Lake Gogebic and south to the Wisconsin state line." and "By the beginning of 1930, a highway called M-129 was designated south of US 2 to the Wisconsin state line and and north along Lake Gogebic." are kind of redundant, if I understand what happened correctly. &mdash;  P C  B  01:54, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a necessary redundancy though. The first subsection is on the previous highways that carried the M-64 number. The second subsection is on the history of the current roads that carry the number. I can't help that the second highway to carry the M-64 number became M-129 and the current highway was also M-129 because of the flip-flopping.  Imzadi 1979  →   02:26, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Unless you can provide a prose reference for the sentence describing that it was one of the last roads to be paved, I think it should be removed. Otherwise, in theory, you'd have to provide reference to every other map after that. I could be wrong.
 * As of the early 1960s, no state highway in Michigan has been a gravel road per  Imzadi 1979   →   01:50, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * 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):
 * The map caption doesn't tell me that it is a picture of the Upper Peninsula.
 * I'm adding an inset to the map.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:50, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Assuming you are finishing this inset, unfortunately I won't be back until late Sunday to finish the review. Sorry. &mdash;  P C  B  03:16, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's already done.  Imzadi 1979  →   03:18, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * Putting article on hold for a couple minor issues.
