Capitol Loop (Lansing, Michigan)
review
 * Suggestion: Promote to A-Class
 * Nominator's comments: A truly unique trunkline. It has a name, not a number. It's hidden number makes it a "capitol loop" of the Interstate system, and it has a unique marker. I think this article has FA potential, but I'd like some feedback first.

Comments Finished, sorry that took so long. Dave (talk) 19:49, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - An image of the road would be nice and can we have an SVG version of the shield? ComputerGuy 18:45, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Its fair use. ComputerGuy 18:46, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikilink first mention of R.E. Olds, Martin Luther King, Jr. (maybe, 1st mention in history is linked, but not rd), will finish later. have to go.Dave (talk) 05:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The last paragraph has a lot of dates, I'm not sure if the 1.08 million is a modern figure or 1928 dollars. Might want to clarify.

Support issues resolved. Dave (talk) 02:35, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I added in inflation-adjusted numbers. Since the contract would have been bid and let in 2004, all costs given are used in 2004 dollars. As for wikilinking the names, I'm not sure if this is correct, since the only MLK references I can find in the RD are contained in the name of a road. In otherwords, it seems wrong to have "Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard" since the name there refers directly to a street, not a person in that context. The same goes for the "R.E. Olds Transportation Museum". I'm not sure if I'm off the mark on this one. Imzadi1979 (talk) 21:05, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments Last sentence of lead - watch WP:MOSDASH.
 * "street is divided into three-lane north and south bound sections" - rephrase.
 * three-lane Grand Avenue - three lanes each direction?
 * four-lane street - see above
 * East of the river comma
 * 3rd paragraph RD - combine last two sentences
 * Cedar street - capitalize
 * after that - Westbound should not be capitalized
 * 1.1 - comma after (AADT)
 * Lost a period after 730 commercial vehicles.
 * Alleghan and Ottawa streets comma
 * used those streets comma
 * Last sentence - comma after there
 * History - 2.2 - floated... around?
 * Weren't - spell out
 * The city wanted to start a scaled down version of the project in 2004 however. - move however to the front of the sentence
 * Google Streetview could be considered a primary source by FAC, and a lot of the RD is based off it. FAC might complain. Just a warning.
 * Lost a period after "The project was finished three months early and opened to traffic at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Lansing on June 30, 2005"
 * Overall, a pretty good article. --Rschen7754 (T C) 04:15, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
