Interstate 5 in Washington
review
 * Suggestion: Promote to A-Class
 * Nominator's comments: Overhauled over a two-year period with the intention of running straight to FAC at the next available opportunity. As much of it was written in spurts, I'd especially like critique on its cohesion.


 * Nominated by:  Sounder Bruce  06:12, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Review by Rschen7754

 * References
 * I think FAC is again going to ask for locations of newspapers where the location isn't obvious - for example, ref 11.
 * Ref 226 - generally all caps is not preserved if it is not an acronym.

Infobox/lead/RJL: no issues.

More later. --Rschen7754 08:18, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Just FYI, "FLOW" from Ref 226 seems to refer to an acronym, but I can't find the specific meaning out of the newspaper articles I searched.  Sounder Bruce  07:32, 17 January 2021 (UTC)


 * RD
 * and the state's Highway of Statewide Significance program... the first time I read this, it sounded like that was one of the criteria for NHS. Needs an adjustment.
 * Tossed the NHS criteria out, as it would be explanatory via the link.
 * Not sure what the connection to the Cascades is - unless you're trying to say that the route parallels the route.
 * Exactly that. Added a little note to make it clearer.
 * Cowlitz River turns away from I-5 as it... what is "it"?
 * Fixed.
 * I-5 and US 12 ... passes - agreement
 * Fixed.

More later (reviewed 1.0 and 1.1) --Rschen7754 05:33, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * 1.2 had no additional issues. --Rschen7754 23:59, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Fixed the 1.0 and 1.1 issues.  Sounder Bruce  07:12, 9 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Northeast of the mall - at the end of the sentence, maybe a serial "and" is needed before the third highway listed?
 * HOV lanes terminate and leave the freeway at six total lanes - meaning that they exit the freeway on their own ramp?
 * that are noted by motorists - that motorists have noticed?
 * A pair of rest areas... is home?
 * As a general comment: you have about 5 paragraphs for the Snohomish County section, which seems to be the longest section in the RD part (longer than Seattle, and longer than South Sound which is Olympia/Tacoma combined). You may want to even this out. --Rschen7754 07:19, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Review by Fredddie
One of the first things I noticed is something I caught on my review of Pennsylvania Turnpike a few years ago. It's the use of  and. There are about 75 instances of ing and 25 of ", with". Like I said in 2013, not all of these are wrong, but rearranging the verbs will make stronger sentences in most cases.

I'll continue after these have been addressed. –Fredddie™ 20:58, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

This has been suspended after well over 6 months with no activity from the nominator. --Rschen7754 23:19, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
