 * Symbol confirmed.svg &mdash; good to go. I would like to see more detailed citations, but that doesn't bother me. --Thine Antique Pen (talk • contributions) 16:42, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg Close paraphrasing and sourcing concerns here. Several of the sources are wikis. Compare for example "The original route of the A968 was entirely on the mainland of Shetland. It was extended across Yell on the B9080 and then to Unst via the B9085 and B9084 in the late 1930s. At some later time the route across Yell was swapped with both the B9081 and B9082 to produce the route we see today" with "the original route of the A968 was entirely on the mainland of Shetland. It was first extended across Yell on the B9080, and on to Unst via the B9085 and B9084 in the late 1930s.

 * Done, added refs to Ordnance Survey maps.Wilbysuffolk (Talk to me!) 20:54, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * While you have added references to the History section, none of the text there has been changed. It remains almost identical to the original source, and such close paraphrasing is not allowed. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:55, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hows this. Wilbysuffolk (Talk to me!) 14:48, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Paraphrasing is better, but you're still citing wikis (and it's a bit on the short side). Nikkimaria (talk) 02:57, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Got rid of the wiki refs. Wilbysuffolk (Talk to me!) 21:10, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Nope, you're still citing Wikitravel - and that's the only citation you've presented for the hook fact, which is doubly problematic. Nikkimaria (talk) 17:26, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Done, got rid of all wiki references and found a new reference for the Hook. Wilbysuffolk (Talk to me!) 16:22, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, much better. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:49, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Nikkimaria, as you're the one who used the "X" symbol that meant the nomination had severe problems, it's up to you to include the tick when you feel it's good enough to pass muster. "Much better" is not the same as "approve for the main page". BlueMoonset (talk) 15:17, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
