6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "State Route 76 (SR 76) is a 52.32-mile (84.20 km) state highway" > I'd use {{convert|52.32|mi|km|-long}} here.
  • Adjusted. --Rschen7754 19:17, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
• "It is an important..." - POVish? Maybe?
  • You mention important again in the very next sentence.
    • Adjusted. --Rschen7754 19:17, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
• File:California State Route 76.svg needs better sourcing past the GA level.
  • I plan to redo the entire map anyway at some point. --Rschen7754 18:01, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

RD

• "SR 76 begins at County Route S21 (CR S21) in Oceanside. It quickly has an interchange with I-5" - Your postmarkers show this as the same point in space, and your infobox shows I-5 as the beginning, which is it?
  • I've attempted to clarify this. --Rschen7754 18:53, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
• Wikilink expressway to limited-access highway.
  • Done. --Rschen7754 18:53, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
• "current routing of I-15 15 in the community of Pala Mesa Village." - double 15s.
  • Done. --Rschen7754 18:53, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

History

• Wikilink gasoline tax, and mark as "five-cents-per-gallon" (convert to L as well like I did in Interstate 470 in West Virginia).
  • Done. --Rschen7754 21:44, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
• "Caltrans tentatively approved the first 2.5 miles (4.0 km)" I know {{convert/spell}} isn't perfect but {{convert/spell|2+1/2|mi|km}} should be used.
  • Done. --Rschen7754 21:44, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
• Wouldn't File:Least Bell's Vireo USGS WERC.jpg be a more appropriate image as its the actual sub-species of bird being mentioned?
  • Done. --Rschen7754 20:13, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
• CTC is abbreviated in all mentions but not written out out anywhere.
  • Done. --Rschen7754 20:53, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
• "The cost of this portion was $10 million; at that time" - inflation template?
  • I plan to do a pass through and get all the inflation templates before ACR. --Rschen7754 20:53, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
• "Construction began on widening the highway in April 2008.[99] In March 2009, two lanes of a new 1.3 miles (2.1 km) realigned segment of SR 76 opened east of I-15." - Can these two sentences be combined. That first one seems very short.
  • Done. --Rschen7754 21:12, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
• "new four lane divided highway planned to open in September 2009." - did they open?
  • I couldn't find any source saying that it actually opened then, so I used that wording just to be safe. --Rschen7754 21:12, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
• "For environmental mitigation, Caltrans purchased Rancho Lilac, which was 902 acres." - One, waht is Rancho Lilac, and 2 - conversion.
  • Adjusted, and done. --Rschen7754 21:12, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Major intersections

• Looks good to me.

References

• Theres been talks on recent FACs on discouraging the use of {{reflist|2}} and using {{reflist|30em}} instead.
• Ref 3: Thomas Brothers (2009). San Diego County Street Atlas (Map). - Can we get an OCLC or ISBN for this source?
• First instances of items in your references should be wikilinked (e.g. Ca State Legislature, Caltrans, FHWA, etc.
• I-805 has OCLC links for all the newspapers, if this is going to ACR next, I'd suggest getting them in sooner than later.
  • Reference formatting isn't part of the GA criteria, and I do plan to address this before ACR. Unfortunately, I am not equipped to do so while on vacation. --Rschen7754 19:48, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

External links

• More of a personal preference, but I like to use {{commons category-inline}} as to not stack with the {{attached KML}} making unneeded whitespace in the section.
  • Generally the California articles use the box as is... I suppose it could be changed, but it's not very high on the priority list. --Rschen7754 19:48, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

All done. --Rschen7754 21:44, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Passing article as the External Links and References section are not part of the GA Criterion. --AdmrBoltz 21:47, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
