    Sorry, but this article needs a lot of work before GA. ~~ ĈĠ ( - Review!) Simple? 14:08, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
What needs work? You didn't specify any prose issues, the lead does not have to be cited, and images aren't a requirement. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 21:24, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
This article can be quick-failed since it has an {{expand}}. However, this is an unacceptable review. CG, you need to be specific about the problems that the article has. The comments you made above are unacceptable. --Rschen7754 (T C) 18:39, 25 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

GA review (see here for criteria)

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS):  
    In the History, it describes a past construction project in future tense.
    Done. --Rschen7754 10:14, 21 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
    • In the route description, is it possible to mention how many lanes SR 149 is and whether or not it is a divided highway?
    • What kind of rural features does it pass? Farms? Woods?
    Not done; I think the article's specific enough. --Rschen7754 09:11, 26 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
    • In the route description, indicate the termini are interchanges.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
    An image of the road would be nice, but not required.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  

I will place the article on hold for some minor fixes. Dough4872 02:20, 21 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'm going to need at least a few days. I just noticed that there are some dead links that need to be dealt with. --Rschen7754 22:03, 24 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I tried to get the dead links resolved; one remains. Got everything else except for one that I disagree with. --Rschen7754 08:16, 27 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Once the remaining dead links are taken care of I will pass the article. Dough4872 19:59, 29 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, according to the external links too these links are dead but they came up for me. Therefore, I will pass the article. Dough4872 20:01, 29 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
