U.S. Route 12 in Michigan

 * ... that U.S. Highway 12 followed the route of the St. Joseph Trail until 1962, and since it has followed the Sauk Trail, two former Indian trails in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan?


 * Reviewed: Indium(III) sulfate

 * Symbol question.svg Promoted to Good Article status within the last 7 days, is long enough and meets the necessary guidelines. Checked online sources for copyvio using Dup detector and no plagiarism was found. User has reviewed other nomination, as stated, so all good up to here. However, I feel the hook is too long. I think dropping the link to Indigenous peoples of North America would help make it a but punchier, and "and since it has followed" could possibly be changed to "and has since followed". Also, the information given in the hook isn't explicitly stated within the article. I feel that this would be a helpful/useful addition. — Gasheadsteve Talk to me 20:49, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * that one link was supposed to be piped, and the hook has been fixed to read as it was intended, removing the apparent redundancy and shortening the verbiage.  Imzadi 1979  →   21:49, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Much better! Offline sources accepted on good faith. I think a second opinion from another reviewer may be in order though because I'm new to reviewing and it would be good to be reassured that I haven't missed anything. &mdash; Gasheadsteve Talk to me 20:42, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
 * In case anyone needs reassurance, File:Michigan's Indian trails.png is the scan of the map on the page cited on footnote #10.  Imzadi 1979  →   00:03, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
