• Images are a bit dark; not part of the GA criteria, but just noting.
• Reflinks, disamb good. --Rschen7754 21:55, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Lead

• "The route" begins two consecutive sentences, paragraph 1. Before you nominate a GAN, please at least skim over the prose and fix simple stuff like this.

• Fixed. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

• "large interchange"? To me, this seems subjective.

• Removed. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

• In the 1990s, several improvements were planned for DE 141 north of Prices Corner. Among the improvements made were a grade separation at Rockland Road completed in 1997 and relocation of the northern terminus to its current location at an interchange completed in 2007. - eliminate the redundancy.

• Reworded. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

RD

• "comes to" in two consecutive sentences.

• Changed. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

• Ditto with "back" except now that's three sentences.

• Removed two instances. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

• "Here, DE 100 joind" ...

• Fixed typo. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

• Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children - time to abbreviate or just say hospital.

• Abbrieviated. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

• What year does the AADT come from?

• Mentioned. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

History first paragraph

• Sentence 1 - I am definitely not seeing the line along the entirety of today's DE 141, so you need to clarify. In fact, I am having difficulty identifying today's routing at all.

• Clarified as to what would become DE 141 was a county road, as the road has undergone changes since initial creation. The map is not of the best quality, but I was able to make out the roads. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

• Sentence 3 - and past Newport too, if I'm reading this right.

• Changed as map does not label DE 41 as Newport Gap Pike. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

• Please add bounding citations for the first paragraph if they're available. For example, 1957-1971 is a long timespan...

• Added bounding citations. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

History second paragraph

• $20 million... in today's dollars?

• Added inflation template. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

History third paragraph

• Environmental Assessment should not be capitalized.

• Uncapitalized. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

• an a new interchange with US 202 and DE 261 - and?

• Fixed. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

• Between 2007 and 2010 - you don't have a source to back up the 2010 part. You have a source that says that it was planned to be completed in 2010, but we all know construction falls behind schedule.

• Added additional reference from 2010. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

• But that doesn't indicate completion. --Rschen7754 01:16, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Media

• Please put in a request for a map.

• Added requested. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

• Please add a KML.

• KML added. Dough4872 23:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
