 * Comments:
 * "The route quickly turns to the southeast." - you may want to rephrase this sentence, as I'm not sure "quickly" describes it well.
 * Done. Mitch 32(UP) 02:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * "Route 73 now longs along the East Branch, intersecting with county and local roads as its heads southward." - I don't quite understand the first part of this sentence. - Algorerhythms (talk) 04:43, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Mitch 32(UP) 10:56, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Comments Got some grammar errors: Dave (talk) 01:57, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * "with U.S. Route 9 1 mile (1.6 km) of Underwood." is missing a word, maybe NORTH of Underwood?
 * Done. Mitch 32(UP) 02:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * West Branch of the Ausable River, is this the proper name? In the western US it's rare to see "of the" in there, just checking.
 * That is the proper name.
 * However, this is not accessible via NY 73 except from the intersection with CR 35. This sounds rough.
 * Done. Mitch 32(UP) 02:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The abbreviation NY 73 is never explained
 * Done. Mitch 32(UP) 02:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The abbreviation CR is explained on the second instance, not the first.
 * Not Done. Mitch 32(UP) 02:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * "The area had been big with the lumber and iron industries." The use of "big" is a non-standard use of the word. Try to avoid that, for non-native speakers.
 * Done. Mitch 32(UP) 02:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * "However, exporting the stuff made" Surely there is a better word to use on a FA candidate than "stuff".
 * Done. Mitch 32(UP) 02:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * See Also -- this section is used to link articles not already linked in prose. Keene, New York is already linked multiple times.
 * Done. Mitch 32(UP) 02:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * There is an unacceptable level of WP:Overlink violations. Overlap, Lake Champlain, Keene etc. etc. are all linked multiple times in the same paragraph.


 * All Done. Mitch 32(UP) 02:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * "The area had been powerful with the lumber and iron industries." The word powerful doesn't quite fit, try to re-word this sentence. Pending this change, I support promotion.Dave (talk) 04:27, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Done - :) Mitch 32(UP) 10:31, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Support then. Dave (talk) 23:07, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
