New York State Route 175
review
 * Suggestion: No suggestion given regarding A-Class
 * Nominator's comments: NY 175 is the twin to the Featured Article, New York State Route 174, and I'm trying to get this article up to the same condition as 174. I know some of the prose is horrible, and probably will need some kind of expansion, but the article was put together well and it could have the same possibility as NY 174.

 * Comments Get a ref for the citation needed, expand the lead, copyedit the history. This is at first glance. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  22:01, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question. You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, Holderca1talk 23:12, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -  between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 100 yards, use 100 yards, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 100&amp;nbsp;yards.[?]
 * Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]


 * Support for now, as long as no other issues are brought up. Prose suffices but may need a bit of brushing up. --Rschen7754 (T C) 20:32, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Support *In the lead, Marcellus is wikilinked twice, de-link the 2nd instance. *"Forests begin to return along the highway, with many of them surrounding it." When "them" are they? Suggest, The highway then enteres forested area, at times surrounded by trees" or something like that. Dave (talk) 01:05, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * the phrase "unsigned county route" is overused IMO. To me unsigned also means un-notable. I'd prefer to see these mentioned by street name or other instead.
 * Imo only Marcellus should be wikilinked, not "the town of". (be consistent with the other mentions)
 * The highway then leaves Wellington Corner uneventfully. Uneventfully sounds of WP:OR.
 * De-wikilink city, this is overlinking.
 * IMO de-wikilink maintenance company.
 * Comma splice in the 1st sentence of the 2nd paragraph of the history section.
 * Last sentence of history section, Some people at FAC are picky about the order of sources, i didn't get bit by it but others did. To be safe you should re-order the sources used in numerical order.
 * Re: linking of Marcellus. The first instance is for the Town of Marcellus while the second is for the Village of Marcellus. Because the names are the same, it is in my opinion more useful to clarify whether one is talking about the town vs. the village. --Polaron | Talk 01:42, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ahh, thanks for the explanation. In that case I would change my suggestion to have the first instance of each wikilinked as "the town of Marcellus" and the "village of Marcellus".Dave (talk) 03:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * All done. Thanks! Mitch 32contribs 18:41, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Whoops I did miss one that has been fixed. Mitch 32<sup style="color:red;">contribs 10:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Support Looks good to me. Improved greatly since the ACR started. Juliancolton <sup style="color:#666660;">Tropical <sup style="color:#666660;">Cyclone  00:38, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support I concur with JC on this. It's much improved since the ACR was opened. There's always room for improvement, but I say this merits A-Class. Imzadi1979 (talk) 00:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
