Comments
References: The following claims are unreferenced:
 * "NY 11A begins west of the village of Tully at an intersection with NY 80 near its exit with Interstate 81 (I-81) in the hamlet of Tully Center."
 * "Here, the route also connects to Lake Road (unsigned County Route 134 or CR 134), a local highway leading south to on-ramps for I-81 southbound and a chain of waterbodies known as the Tully Lakes."
 * "NY 11A proceeds northward from NY 80 as a two-lane unnamed road, connecting to the end of a ramp from I-81 southbound before curving northwestward into a rural area of the town."
 * "The highway runs through alternating stretches of open, lightly developed terrain and undeveloped woodlands, meeting Solvay Road (CR 238) as it descends into Tully Valley, a wide gully surrounding Onondaga Creek."
 * "Across the town line, NY 11A intersects Otisco Road (CR 246) and passes several farms on its way to the hamlet of Cardiff."
 * "Here, the route runs past a line of homes prior to passing under US 20 at the northern edge of the community."
 * "Outside of Cardiff, the highway becomes known as Syracuse–Tully Valley Road as it slowly curves to the northwest, matching a similar turn in the course of the creek and its valley."
 * "As the road traverses another stretch of cultivated fields, it meets Field Lane, a short connector providing access between NY 11A and US 20."
 * "Inside the Onondaga territory, the route initially serves only a handful of scattered homes separated by long stretches of dense forests."
 * "After 2 miles (3.2 km), however, the road bends to the northeast and enters the town of Onondaga and the hamlet of Indian Village, the main population center of the reservation."
 * "NY 11A quickly runs through the linear community, crossing Hemlock Creek on its way to another lightly developed, mostly wooded stretch along the east bank of Onondaga Creek."
 * "The route passes only a handful of isolated homes before ending at an intersection with US 11 on the northern edge of the reservation." Not needed
 * "On November 12, 1908, the state of New York awarded a contract to rebuild 4.44 miles (7.15 km) of roads in Onondaga County, including the section of modern NY 11A between Solvay Road and the Tully–LaFayette town line."

The reason why I didn't fail it for so much unreferenced claims is that most can be referenced with references which are already in the article. On Hold for 7 3 days, I will come back to see what you've done every day. – Plarem (User talk) 09:55, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * What!? Not every sentence needs to be cited; we combine citations and put them at the end of the text to which the citation refers to. Please see California State Route 52, a Featured Article, for an example. --Rschen7754 10:01, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * But that article doesn't have one reference per paragraph, does it? – Plarem (User talk) 10:28, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * So what? As long as that reference covers everything in the paragraph, there's nothing wrong with that. --Rschen7754 10:31, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * And California State Route 75 is a Featured Article and does have one reference per paragraph in some areas. --Rschen7754 10:33, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for striking most of them, but how is the sentence from the history not sourced? --Rschen7754 10:39, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The date and amount of road need to be referenced at the end of the sentence, as that is a genuine claim that will be challenged. – Plarem (User talk) 10:49, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Hold on. First off, why did this even happen before I got to even look at the review. Second you have no business denying me 4 extra days to work on it, and I will protest if you fail it in 3 days. Third, no messaging my talk page on my GANs. Fourthly, your tone is rather upsetting. Fifthly, Rschen, let me look at my own damn article first.

 * Changed the only leftover claim. Mitch 32 (It is very likely this guy doesn't have a girlfriend.) 14:43, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * (1) Ask (2) I wouldn't have failed it anyway, it is of GA quality, according to me (that counts as invalid to others) (3) I left you a Talkback on your talk page regarding your GAN. (4) How is it upsetting? – Plarem (User talk) 11:17, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * So what are we waiting on? I fixed the only unstruck point. Mitch 32 (It is very likely this guy doesn't have a girlfriend.) 17:45, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

PASS &mdash; Passed. – Plarem (User talk) 09:14, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
