Talk:New York State Route 61/GA1

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

Once again, a well-written article that just needs a few minor changes:


 * 1) A map would help quite a bit.
 * Will as soon as possible. Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) The wikilink to Niagara Falls should go to Niagara Falls, New York.
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) Italicizing "Hyde Park Boulevard" doesn't seem consistent with other road articles.
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) "the roadway widens to include a center turn lane" - maybe it's just been a long day at work, but I can't picture this. Is there an intersection that just isn't mentioned in the prose?
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) should "turn lane" be "turning lane"? I've never heard anyone talk about a "turn lane", but this might be a regional difference.
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) "NY 61 meets Ferry Avenue" - does this mean that they join (become concurrent)?
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) "in the shadow of the Niagara Falls Courthouse" - "in the shadow of" doesn't seem encyclopedic.
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) "NY 61 meets northbound US 62" - again, does this mean that they join? Is there another way of phrasing it so that it doesn't use exactly the same word (meets) as the previous sentence?
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) "The pairing of Gill Creek and NY 61" - What is meant by "the pairing"?
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) "(355 feet (108 m) long)" - parentheses inside parentheses are frowned upon. Since a conversion template is being used that automatically inserts parentheses, it seems like the sentence will have to be rephrased to get rid of the parentheses around "355 feet long".
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) "before separating" -> "before they separate"
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) "here carrying NY 182" - does this mean that Porter Road is designated as NY 182 at this point?
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) "where it turns west toward the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge" - "it" needs to be clarified, as three roads have been discussed in the first half of the sentence.
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) "originally constructed in 1950, was reconstructed" - can one of the "constructed"s be changed to avoid repetition?
 * Done - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) References 7 and 8 need publishers.
 * I tried, I don't think its a reliable source - but it'll do for now. Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll place this on hold for now. Comments and questions can be placed here. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:59, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * All done. :) - Mitch 32(UP) 10:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It's getting close. The map would help quite a bit&mdash;any word on that? In "The paralleling of Gill Creek and NY 61", "paralleling" sounds awkward. The "here carrying NY 182" sentence hasn't been changed, so I still find it confusing. Aside from this, everything's looking good. Thanks for the quick response, GaryColemanFan (talk) 15:52, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably should promote without the map. The rest are done though. Mitch 32(UP) 19:51, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm happy with everything except the lack of a map. I agree that holding the nomination until a map can be made isn't productive, so I am promoting it. I have placed a request for a map at WikiProject U.S. Roads/Maps task force/Requests. If you are able to make or obtain one before the task force does, I would really appreciate it if you could delete my request. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:15, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
