Talk:Rika's Landing Roadhouse

Comments
Of these comments, some are positive, some are negative, and some are neutral. This is mostly just my pre-FAC think through/walk through for the article based on what I see.


 * 1. Article is 20k. The lead has two small paragraphs, which can be expanded.
 * 2. Multiple images, so appealing. Images would need to be checked for Alts as well as appropriate tags during the FAC process.
 * 3. "but with the" A comma would need to follow after "but" in order to make the final comma make sense as part of a reason for the "but".
 * 4. "an important route through the Alaska Interior" - someone might want the "important" aspect explained. Important for commerce, for travel, for fun, for tourism, etc. I think "an important transportation route" would suffice. Minor issue and I doubt it would come up.
 * 5. "some 37 in all,[4] and" - Kill the comma in order to keep your clauses in order.
 * 6. "They were typically about" - You might want to add "located" before "about".
 * 7. "A ferry was established just upriver of the Tanana's confluence with the Delta River, at a location then called Bates Landing, about 12 km (8 miles) north of the current settlement of Delta Junction, in the area known now as Big Delta." - Very complicated grammar. You could add a period after "Delta River". Begin the next with "The location was then called Bates Landing and was 12 km...".
 * 8. You have many "___ was". You should probably cut down on the passivity - "____ created ____" or other phrases to change up the phrasing and avoid repetition.
 * 9. "at Bates Landing in April 1904" - Add a comma after that in order to protect your clauses.
 * 10. "However since" - One or the other, don't get greedy. :)
 * 11. "post to store his gear.", "the operations prospered." and "then still known as McCarty's." - Probably need a cite. I'm sure they will be easy to find.
 * 12. "Although John had many business interests" - Add a comma after this.
 * 13. "goats that she raised " - You don't mention raising the sheep, so, you can probably drop it for the goats. :)
 * 14. "1922, and due to other factors " Remove the comma and "due to".
 * 15. "early 1950s although" Probably a comma is needed before "although".
 * 16. "In 1976" - Comma.
 * 17. "1920s-1930s" - Use a medium dash –.

I will check over sourcing tomorrow. I see nothing that stands out. Ottava Rima (talk) 02:21, 13 September 2009 (UTC)


 * 2. Images all have alt tags now, checked with ~dispenser/view/Altviewer ... I like images too, all the photos in the article were taken by me. :)
 * One down, 16 to go. ++Lar: t/c 05:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * 1. A coment, not actionable. (yes, it's short but it covers all the key points)
 * 3. Fixed, broke the sentence up and lost the but.
 * 4. Fixed up why the route is important.
 * 5. Killed.
 * 6. Located the place for "located".
 * 6 down, 11 to go. :) ++Lar: t/c 03:30, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
