New York State Route 175

New York State Route 175 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) review

Suggestion: No suggestion given regarding A-Class

Nominator's comments: NY 175 is the twin to the Featured Article, New York State Route 174, and I'm trying to get this article up to the same condition as 174. I know some of the prose is horrible, and probably will need some kind of expansion, but the article was put together well and it could have the same possibility as NY 174.

• Comments Get a ref for the citation needed, expand the lead, copyedit the history. This is at first glance. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 22:01, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 100 yards, use 100 yards, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 100 yards.^[?]
• Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.^[?]

You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, Holderca1 ^talk 23:12, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

• Support for now, as long as no other issues are brought up. Prose suffices but may need a bit of brushing up. --Rschen7754 (T C) 20:32, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Resolved issues from Rschen7754 (T C) 18:13, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

• • You keep saying "Route 175" - isn't it SR 175?
  • 1.1 - "which ends at the town of Marcellus a while ahead." - can you be more precise?
  • What are "off-streets"? Probably not a good term to use.
  • Can you wikilink to the public school?
  • I'll stop there for now. --Rschen7754 (T C) 05:30, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
  • 1.2 - West Seneca Turnpike supposed to be italicized?
  • "builtup" doesn't show up in Wikitionary. Is it a word?
  • Can you link Cards Corners?
  • "entering" the town line? I'd choose another verb.
  • Check MOS on this - it supposed to be 0.2 miles?
  • More once these issues are addressed. --Rschen7754 (T C) 18:13, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • 1.3 - italics again - not sure if they should be there
  • In the hospital name="Of" shouldn't be capitalized.
  • Cemetery shouldn't be linked. Either link to the cemetery itself or remove it.
  • last sentence is a bit strange.
  • --Rschen7754 (T C) 20:12, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • 2 - Maybe link "maintenance company"?
  • The first and last sentence of the first paragraph seem to contradict each other. Do you mean that NY 175 runs parallel to the original alignment of the Seneca Turnpike?
  • Last paragraph - a few of the sentences are choppy.
  • --Rschen7754 (T C) 20:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Support *In the lead, Marcellus is wikilinked twice, de-link the 2nd instance.

• the phrase "unsigned county route" is overused IMO. To me unsigned also means un-notable. I'd prefer to see these mentioned by street name or other instead.
• Imo only Marcellus should be wikilinked, not "the town of". (be consistent with the other mentions)
• The highway then leaves Wellington Corner uneventfully. Uneventfully sounds of WP:OR.

*"Forests begin to return along the highway, with many of them surrounding it." When "them" are they? Suggest, The highway then enteres forested area, at times surrounded by trees" or something like that.

• De-wikilink city, this is overlinking.
• IMO de-wikilink maintenance company.
• Comma splice in the 1st sentence of the 2nd paragraph of the history section.
• Last sentence of history section, Some people at FAC are picky about the order of sources, i didn't get bit by it but others did. To be safe you should re-order the sources used in numerical order.

Re: linking of Marcellus. The first instance is for the Town of Marcellus while the second is for the Village of Marcellus. Because the names are the same, it is in my opinion more useful to clarify whether one is talking about the town vs. the village. --Polaron | Talk 01:42, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Ahh, thanks for the explanation. In that case I would change my suggestion to have the first instance of each wikilinked as "the town of Marcellus" and the "village of Marcellus".Dave (talk) 03:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

All done. Thanks!^Mitch32^contribs 18:41, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Whoops I did miss one that has been fixed.^Mitch32^contribs 10:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

• Support Looks good to me. Improved greatly since the ACR started. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 00:38, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
• Support I concur with JC on this. It's much improved since the ACR was opened. There's always room for improvement, but I say this merits A-Class. Imzadi1979 (talk) 00:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
