Arizona State Route 67

Arizona State Route 67 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) review

Suggestion: Promote to A-Class

Nominator's comments: I have little intention of ever bringing this article to FAC; however, I wish to get more familiar with the A-class criteria.

• Comments - I have some concerns with the article before I can support it for A-class:

1. "and is surrounded largely by evergreen trees" sounds awkward, perhaps remove largely.
2. "where official ownership by ADOT begins", remove official.
3. In the route description, you use "heads" too much, can other verbs be used?
4. "The highway, with the new name of Grand Canyon Highway in addition to its other designation," is a sentence fragment and should either be reworded or merged with another sentence.
5. Are there any more attractions that can be mentioned in the route description. The current route description seems a little dry in describing the turns and direction the route heads in.
6. The sentence "At that time it was still just a dirt road" sounds awkward and should be reworded.
7. The NPS logo should be removed from the junction list. Dough4872 01:46, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

All addressed except for number 5; there are no attractions that I know of. The route is all trees, dirt road intersections, and clearings. — PCB 03:17, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

• Support - I will now support this article for A-class. Dough4872 00:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Comments

• You never source the statement that part of AZ 67 is maintained by the NPS.
  • I'm trying to find a source that states that NPS maintains all roads within their system. — PCB 23:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
• "heading back northerly." - to the north?
  • Changed wording. — PCB 23:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
• "The highway is maintained by ADOT, who is responsible for maintaining SR 67 like all other highways around the state." - conflicts with the first paragraph
  • Fixed. — PCB 23:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
• History first sentence - you need to cite 2 maps if you're going to use maps to source that statement.
  • I can't see why, and I don't have any maps earlier than that. — PCB 23:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
    • How do we know that it wasn't in 1926? --Rschen7754 22:20, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
      • Is it possible that it could be simply reworded, or should I find a new map? — PCB 02:04, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
        • I would at least try, but if not, you could reword it. --Rschen7754 03:37, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
• Ditto for sentence #2.
  • Removed. — PCB 23:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Otherwise I don't see any issues. --Rschen7754 06:20, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

• Comment If there are no attempts made to resolve the above issues by November 10th, this will be archived. --Rschen7754 22:39, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
