{{Wikipedia:Featured article tools|1=Interstate 675 (Michigan)}} Interstate 675 (Michigan) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) review

Suggestion: Promote to A-Class

Nominator's comments: Since ACR isn't busy, and this is a shorter article, I'll put this up as well. In order to bump the Interstate Highways in Michigan topic from GT to FT, it needs 3 more FAs at the time of this writing. I-275 is at FAC now, and I-94 has been nominated above here at ACR before a future FAC. As to why I chose this one, other than the fact that it's a simple little article, it also falls numerically in the middle of a bunch of Michigan's other FA highways. I-496, Capitol Loop (CL I-496, Connector 496), M-553 and I-696 are all FAs. The writing is straightforward, so this should be easy to review.

Comments - Here are my concerns that need to be addressed before I can support:

1. "in 2009 through 2011" does not sound right. If it took place between those two years, it should be "from 2009 through 2011".
2. Do you think you can mention how many lanes wide I-675 is in the route description?
3. When you mention I-75 in the route description, you completely ignore the fact that it is concurrent with US 23. You should refer to the road as I-75/US 23.
4. Is there a way an image of the road itself can be added to the article?
5. Are there any more details about the planning and construction of the highway that can be added to the history? The section seems a little short and only mentions the years that construction started and was finished. Dough4872 01:39, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

1. Changed
2. Added.
3. Added.
4. I will endeavor to get something located before any FAC, but I don't know that I'll be successful before the ACR would close.
5. Sadly, unlike the other 3dIs which have names, this one doesn't, so Barnett didn't cover anything about it in his book on the named highways. I have added some other stuff, expanding on the freeway's role connected to the Zilwaukee Bridge, but that's about all we're going to get at the present time.

@Dough4872: replies made above.

• Support - I will support the article for A-class. Dough4872 15:41, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Review by Rschen7754

I will review this article. --Rschen7754 02:47, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

• A lot of "crosses" or "crossing" in the first paragraph of the RD.
• to merge back to I-75/US - something missing
• The entire length of the freeway has four lanes (two in each direction) - is it okay to be using Google StreetView (I assume) to source this?
• What was "Initially planned"? The Michigan State Highway Department?
• The I-675 freeway was under construction starting in 1969 - the passive structure is awkward here.
• I-675 was to serve as access to the downtown area... does it today? It seems like a contrast is being set up here that perhaps shouldn't be.
• for upwards of four hours -> for over?
• the state even considered - don't need "even"
• as a mishap during a maintenance project - what sort of mishap?
• Then starting in May 2009 and ending in November 2011, - need a comma after "Then". --Rschen7754 01:09, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Fixes applied for the above, Rschen7754, although there were only three uses of "cross"/"crossing" and only the middle was swapped out for now. Imzadi 1979 → 01:34, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

• Support issues resolved. --Rschen7754 01:57, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Image review by Rschen7754

• I would have to agree with the comments about the image above. I won't hold it up at ACR, but it would affect any support at FAC.
• File:I-675 MI map.svg - GFDL 1.2/CC-BY-SA 3.0, sources noted
• File:Saginaw, Michigan 1955 Yellow Book.jpg - PD-US-Gov (dept of commerce)

 Done --Rschen7754 16:40, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Source review and spotcheck by Rschen7754

• All Saginaw News links need to be switched to the archive.
• 18 - good on CP and V.
• 17 - not supported by source.
• 15 - good on CP and V. --Rschen7754 06:47, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

@Rschen7754: All of the Saginaw News links were flipped around, and the sentence was tweaked for n17 to track the source a little closer. Imzadi 1979 → 01:42, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

 Done and ready to close. --Rschen7754 03:50, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
