review
 * Suggestion: Promote to A-Class
 * Nominator's comments: I've got a request for a map in place, but it It has been suggested that this article is FAC-able in the near future. I'd like a review here to prep it for a nomination.

First of all, some housekeeping: I don't think that Imzadi1979 will be proceeding with the full length of the review before a FAC due to the low activity levels across the project, so this is structured more like a peer review and I don't expect responses here. Accordingly I won't be doing a image review or source review at this stage either.


 * Preliminary checks
 * The sourcing of the more recent history is a bit heavy on maps. I'm not necessarily opposed to this, but I assume you've checked the archives.
 * No other issues.
 * Lead
 * Its general routing took it - a bit repetitive
 * RD
 * there-unnumbered - then-unnumbered?
 * Last paragraph - two consecutive sentences starting with "North of"
 * History
 * principle -> principal
 * although all sections of it are still state highways - needs a cite to a recent map

Otherwise it seemed pretty straightforward. --Rschen7754 22:12, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * all done, if you'd like to take a look. I have checked the various news archives, and I will do so again right before any FAC nomination just to make sure that we've exhausted the options to replace citations.  Imzadi 1979  →  07:32, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Comments by Dough4872:
 * 1) "At the crossing of the Huron River, US 24/US 25 crossed into Flat Rock and Wayne County." you use the verb cross twice.
 * 2) I noticed US 25 is overused a little bit in the route description, might want to change some instances.
 * 3) When US 25 was created in 1926, what route was the northern terminus at in Port Huron? This should be clarified in the history.
 * 4) "The first, in Port Huron provides access to the Blue Water Bridge from the mainline of the highway in 1940.", this should be in past tense.
 * 5) Do you have the AASHTO minutes for the date they approved the decommissioning of US 25 in Michigan? That would be worth mentioning in the history.
 * 6) In the related trunklines section, you should clarify where the termini were for both the US 25As along with Bus. US 25. Also you may want to consider giving each one a mini-infobox and a subsection as I assume they are not covered anywhere else.
 * 7) If possible, I would suggest getting more pictures for the article, even historical map scans that are appropriately licensed would work.   Dough   4872   02:01, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * all done except the photos/maps. I'll work on that a bit later today.  Imzadi 1979  →   11:25, 31 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Support - The article should be good for FAC.  Dough   4872   15:45, 31 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Image check

I'll go ahead and claim this one. Shouldn't take too long.  Sounder Bruce  20:57, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

 * 1) Captions: I don't think including the months on modern images is all that necessary, but it isn't something that warrants a no vote.

Support. Images are in order and do as good a job of illustrating a former highway as one can today.  Sounder Bruce  21:10, 9 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Source review - I had already checked source reliability when I did the first review, but looked again and found no issues. I looked at the formatting and couldn't find anything to note either. --Rschen7754 21:54, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
