 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * See below for the prose issues I have with the article.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):

 * 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):
 * There are a couple of pictures depicting the bridge here and here. I'd suggest picking one or two for the article.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * I will put the article on hold for the prose issues listed below.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * I will put the article on hold for the prose issues listed below.

Lead: Route description: History: Other:
 * I don't think you need to include the OH 253 abbreviation if it's not used in the article. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
 * Perhaps include the length in the first sentence instead of the last.
 * Maybe you should split the history summary in the lead into two sentences, one describing the first part and one for the second.
 * Maybe it's just me, but "commences" usually refers to a time event.
 * I think you should reword "picking up where KY 10 left off." It sounds silly to me.
 * "The highway exits the bridge via its eastern approach, then soon after, crosses a bridge over the Norfolk Southern Railway line." This sentence has several issues. "Then soon after" should somehow be replaced, or the sentence should be split. Exiting a bridge via an eastern approach sounds confusing, perhaps you shuld reword it a little.
 * Why is the end abrupt?
 * Are traffic counts given most often in terms of AADT or always?
 * The word "iteration" is uncommon and used twice, perhaps you should find a synonym for one instance.
 * The second sentence of the first paragraph is pretty long. I think you should split it up into 2 sentences.
 * Any sites for possible external links?
 * Any other categories? Is there a category for Scioto County?-- P C  B  00:57, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I think all the issues have been addressed and the article is now ready to pass. -- P C  B  23:29, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
