 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * You should explain how SR 25 is 251's parent route. Not everyone is a roadgeek, so the concept of a parent route may be novel to some people.  Route description has a pretty glaring run-on sentence.  RD also says the route continued on 1st Street.  A highway can't continue from its starting point, but it can begin.  The road is still there, so I think you should talk about the road in the present tense, but still refer to SR 251 in the past tense.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * I can't find anything that says Boundary, Washington, is anything more than the border crossing. A Google search points me to that border crossing, but I don't see anything that says it was a community at any point.  A US Postal Service search verifies it's not a community.  Please either explain what Boundary, Washington, is or remove the references to it.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * The history section stops after the highway was turned over in 1983. Certainly, the highway is still there, so any mention of what it is now would be an improvement.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * 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):
 * Images would be nice. It's a very picturesque area.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * These are certainly fixable issues, so I'm placing the article on hold until they can be resolved.
 * I have fixed the run-on sentences in the route description and eliminated the reference to a parent route, since the term "Auxiliary route of SR 25" is in the infobox. All references to Boundary are now pointing to it as just a location/name on the map and not a community. Added something stating that the highway continues to be maintained by the county and that no realignments have occurred. Also, I can't find images at the moment, but I'm scouring several sites to find them. – CG Talk 00:34, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You didn't fix any of the mentions of what Boundary is, which according to the WSDOT map, is an unincorporated community. I have fixed that for you.  I will reluctantly pass the article. –Fredddie™ 01:15, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
