M-1 (Michigan highway)
review
 * Suggestion: Promote to A-Class
 * Nominator's comments: Michigan's Main Street, The Father Road, the first urban National Scenic Byway and only All-American Road in Michigan, its history as a roadway originates in the Detroit Fire of 1805, but it dates back to pre-colonization days. Woodward Avenue is the number one road in Michigan in a number of categories. Please note that I am awaiting a replacement photograph from for the "Oakland County" section of the RD, and I'm working to secure permission to use an image related to the propose light rail line.

 * Support - My main points have been addressed. However, I still think renaming the article to Woodward Avenue is a good idea, even if it involves a slight restructuring. But I will leave that for others to discuss.  Dough 48  72  03:22, 21 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Support issues resolved. --Rschen7754 21:03, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * OTRS images check out. --Rschen7754 09:13, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Mmph, I'm never a fan of inconsistent naming, but I won't oppose it in this case. --Rschen7754 08:37, 21 October 2012 (UTC)


 * This is awkward. I don't have any issues with the article itself; I will gladly support it.  I do, however, agree with Dough that it would be best titled Woodward Avenue. –Fredddie™ 23:34, 20 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Query would the reviewers please look over a recent change? I added a bit of information to the history section, and in the process pulled all of the streetcar stuff together with the added material on the failed subway into a third subsection. So that the last street car running had some context, I added some information on the decline of the system. There's probably room to condense things a bit, but I think the reviewers should give this a quick look in any event.  Imzadi 1979  →   09:24, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of mentioning the public transit in a separate section. Looks good to me.  Dough 48  72  15:26, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comma needed after "afterwards". Also, the last paragraph is a bit choppy. Otherwise, seems fine. --Rschen7754 17:34, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I did a little copy editing... I wrote that paragraph a little too close to my bed time, perhaps...  Imzadi 1979  →   18:13, 22 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I have to agree with Dough and Fredddie in that the title should be Woodward Avenue. Every section is about Woodward Avenue as a whole except for the Major intersections. In fact, the only mention of M-1 in the Cultural significance could be easily replaced with Woodward Avenue.-- TC N7  JM  07:36, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * As the third fourth reviewer, it looks like everything major has been checked already. Michael's got this ACR thing down to a science, in any case, so I wouldn't expect anything to be out of line. Before I can support, though, I have to ask—is "the MDOT" (first para of RD) correct usage? I understand it may be different in Michigan, but in Oklahoma, we always refer to ODOT without the definite article. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 03:06, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking that the "the MDOT" is from when the sentence might have said "the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT)" and the "the" didn't get removed when it was edited down to just the abbreviation. Either way, I removed it.  Imzadi 1979  →   03:55, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * In that case, support. Good luck at FAC! —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 06:13, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
