Interstate 80 Business (West Wendover, Nevada – Wendover, Utah)
review
 * Suggestion: Promote to A-Class
 * Nominator's comments: I would like to try again after the last failed ACR for this article, which can be found here.

 * Support - My issues have been addressed. If an establishment date for NV 224 can eventually be found, that would be great.  Dough 48  72  05:09, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Support My issues resolved. Dave (talk) 18:36, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Let me add one addendum. You have the fact that I-80 BL is signed sourced to a photo on flickr. That will raise some eyebrows at FAC, should you decide nominate this article there. If you plan to nominate at FAC, I would advise to just not source it, if no better source can be found. That I-80 BL is signed is not controversial, and as such can probably squeak by without one. (Everybody's getting so anal about sourcing these days that few have actually read what WP:V actually says when citing that policy =-) ). Dave (talk) 18:42, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks :) Imz suggested I get pictures of the signs into the article and let the reader figure it out on their own. Also, can you collapse your comments? --Admrboltz (talk) 18:50, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Another PS, the article fails the ALT text test To be fair most of the images that are not in compliance are not used directly in this page, but via embedded templates. Still, that will have to be fixed before nominating to FAC. For the map in infobox road, there is a map_alt parameter for this. (and yes I've had to fix many templates for my nominations to FAC) Dave (talk) 22:22, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Map and Wendover picture corrected. And per Template talk:Portal/Archive 2, no ALT text is required for Portal boxes. --Admrboltz (talk) 22:31, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well shoot, the article looks good. I just have a few points to make:
 * In addition to US-40, US-50 Alternate (and before that US-50) ran through the area, coming west from Salt Lake and then turning south in Wendover at present day US-93A. I'm not sure when exactly US-50 switched alignments with US-50A (sometime in the early '50s I'm guessing), but there are plenty of maps and sources that they did run through Wendover.
 * Added into last paragraph of history section. --Admrboltz (talk) 04:10, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The map looks a little different from the other maps that are usually around - this is more of a matter of personal preference but I'd like to see a standard map (whatever that means).
 * Its three years old now, but it gets the point across. --Admrboltz (talk) 04:10, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * In the RD, where it says, "BL-80 continues in an easterly direction passing 100 East (Aria Boulevard)...", I think you could just nix "100 East" and put Aria Boulevard. Since the street is named, its position in Wendover's grid is unnecessary to mention.
 * Done. --Admrboltz (talk) 04:10, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Other than that (they're minor issues), I'll support this ACR. Good luck! CL (T · C) — 02:23, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, see replies above. --Admrboltz (talk) 04:10, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

The article looks good. Just some comments for the moment, starting at the bottom first. Just those few items for me, otherwise the article looks good to go for me.  Imzadi  1979   →  07:54, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Review by Imzadi1979
 * 1) This might not be something necessarily mentioned at FAC, but MOS:CAPS says to change titles into Title Case. Fns 6, 16, 18–21 should be updated. Fns 24 and 25 probably should be as well. Otherwise, I can't fault anything in your sources.
 * 2) --Admrboltz (talk) 16:06, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) It would be nice if we could get the distance measurement at the state line crossing in the junction list. I'd span the first three columns with a blank cell, use the distance and then either use the state line as the destination or span that across the last two columns and run the concurrency note on a second line in that span.
 * 4) --Admrboltz (talk) 16:06, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Can include the statutory definition in the prose? The effect of these last two comment would be to create copies of information in the infobox in the body of the article.
 * 6) --Admrboltz (talk) 16:06, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) "BL-80 was routed over the former US 40, through West Wendover and Wendover, along Wendover Boulevard since 1926." That sentence is missing a few words, unless you're trying to imply that BL-80 existed there since 1926. Something like: "BL-80 was routed over the former US 40, which followed Wendover Boulevard through West Wendover and Wendover in 1926."
 * 8) --Admrboltz (talk) 16:06, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I have changed the above items. --Admrboltz (talk) 16:06, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't see anything left in the artilce that's obviously in change of changing. Thus I can support promotion to A-Class at this time.  Imzadi  1979   →  17:50, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
