Not promoted - stale. We considered fixing the issues ourselves and passing, but the issues turned out to be too big to be fixable. --Rschen7754 05:08, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Interstate 470 (Missouri)
review
 * Suggestion: Promote to A-Class
 * Nominator's comments: Wee 2x 470s at the moment are at ACR. I have taken comments from other ACRs and tried to implement them here first so that this will be as easy as possible.

 * Support - I will now support this article for A-class. However, I would suggest a little historical research be done and a picture be added before this article goes to FAC. Dough 48 72  00:30, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Infobox - if you're doing a map as the source for the founded date, you need two of them.
 * I looked at the MoDOT maps back to 1967, and I-470 is still there. This discrepancy needs to be resolved in the infobox and in the history.
 * Lead - Between about 38,000 and 75,000 vehicles use the freeway on an average day. - the first two words don't really go together.
 * RD - Lakewood Lakes, a pair of connected lakes, passes to the west of the freeway as it travels north. - not very well phrased, the freeway would pass near the lake, not the other way around.
 * penultimate - is it allowed to link to Wikitionary like that?
 * US 40 is named after Corporal Michael E. Webster, a Missouri State Highway Patrol officer who was killed in the line of duty by a drunk driver. - way too tangential
 * History - The north-south portion of the highway, then designated US 71 Bypass had been in existence since 1970 and was renumbered to Route 291 between 1970 and 1971. - needs comma after Bypass
 * The first addition was an interchange with View High Drive, which was constructed in early 1993 costing about $2 million to complete. - comma after 1993. Also what's the status of the stuff regarding inflation?
 * The third interchange, with Strother Road was first planned to be constructed in 2008. - no comma after interchange
 * Seems like a slight imbalance towards recent events - can this be rectified?
 * Should be a support once these issues are resolved. --Rschen7754 09:06, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose per issue with the history above, and since the nominator is inactive, this doesn't look like something I feel comfortable fixing, knowing nothing about Missouri highways. --Rschen7754 04:58, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Otherwise, if you fix Rschen's comments and my few additional ones, this should also be a support from me.  Imzadi 1979  →   07:52, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Could you specify a break down for the letter suffixes in the exit list's notes column when the exit column lists multiple letters?
 * 2) A thought that same out of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald FAC and preparations is that when there are twin cities with a common name (in that the two Sault Ste. Maries in MI and ON, here the two Kansas Cities) the references should specify which city is the publication location of a newspaper, even if the city name is in the title.
 * 3) Fn 11 probably should have an access date just for consistency.
 * 4) "Two rail lines surround the cloverleaf interchange, both operated by the Union Pacific Railroad, however only the eastern line is operational." Can you change the work "operated" to "owned" to prevent "operated ... operational."


 * I propose setting a maximum length on this; maybe 6 months from the original date? We can't let this go on forever. --Rschen7754 20:51, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
