Talk:New York State Route 101/GA1

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

Some initial points:


 * In the lead:


 * "The highway was designated by 1931" - should that not be in 1931?
 * No. Nothing has proved if the highway was assigned in the 1930 state highway renubmering.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Then should it not be the 1931... something? Act? It makes no sense when it's just a year.  Majorly  talk  21:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There was no act. All we know its was assigned by the time NY reached 1931.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 21:57, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not too keen on the bolding in the lead.
 * Perfectly allowed.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The lead is very confusing - how are the two roads related? Are they two different roads, or just different names for parts? I can't make head or tail of it.
 * The right-of-way and designations match and follow each other. CR 101 becomes SR 101, then returns to CR 101.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * This isn't very clear in the lead though. It just sort of jumps to the different route suddenly.  Majorly  talk  21:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:45, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Route description:


 * What is an allignment?
 * The routing of the highway.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Is this explained in the prose?  Majorly  talk  21:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Doesn't need to, Alignment, although it has different meanings, is not WP:JARGON.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 21:57, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * "A short distance after the curve, County Route 101 edges close to Williston Park, New York, becoming more developed in the process" - what is "more developed"?
 * Clarified.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Some idea of distances would be good.
 * US Roads stopped that process over a year ago.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * OK.  Majorly  talk  21:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Not too keen on red links - is Christopher Morley Park and Golf Course really notable?
 * Depends.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * "short commercial buildings and one short complex" What is short referring to, their heights?
 * Fixed.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

More later.  Majorly  talk  17:39, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * History:


 * "No other documents or inventories produced by the department do not follow suit" - I can understand what it says, but I'm not liking the double negatives there. But then I don't get the rest of the sentence: "No other documents or inventories produced by the department do not follow suit, marking Route 101 along the highway's northern terminus at Astor Lane" - what is marking Route 101? What is marking?
 * Done.3 1/2 years of Mitch32
 * "The 11.5-mile (18.5 km) long expressway, which would have cost $45 million and instead, the construction went to extending the Meadowbrook State Parkway northward" doesn't make sense. I'm also not too keen on "killed off" - it sounds very colloquial. How about "canceled", "scrapped" or "abandoned"? Killed off just sounds a little odd.
 * Reworded.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:45, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Major intersections


 * An extremely short section - is there any way it could be merged with another? Also, is there any point in the notes column?
 * Changes. And I can't fix that, template issues.3 1/2 years of Mitch32 19:45, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
