Preliminary Review by Robert Skyhawk

edit

I have reviewed this article, and have found just a few things which I think should be fixed, detailed here:

Note: "Done" and "Not done" status indicates whether an issue has been fixed. Once a particular issue has been addressed, editors are free to change this status and use this list as a checklist.

  • Infobox:
    • The map could use a caption; it is a tad unclear at first which road is US-89.
  • Route description section:
    • Breaking this section into sub-sections would be a good organizational touch; how this would be done is up to the editor(s).
      •   Done
    • "US-89 enters Utah inside the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area..." Perhaps add "from the south" or something similar; technically the highway enters and exits the state from the north and south.

With these issues withstanding, I would rate this article in the following manner:

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This is not the final review; I am putting the nomination on hold so that the above issues may be fixed.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:  
    I'll hold off here until above issues are fixed.
    B. MoS compliance:  
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:  
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:  
    C. No original research:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:  
    B. Focused:  
    The level of detail on the Route summary is amazing, yet it doesn't list details to an overly exhaustive extent. Well done.
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:  
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:  
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:  
    The images on this article are also impressive. The inclusion of some of the Scenic Byways is a nice touch.
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    As stated above, I'm putting the nomination on hold.

For the most part, this looks like a very good article deserving of GA status. As a Utah resident, I believe this article accurately and thoroughly describes one of this state's major highways. When the above issues are cleared, please contact me on my talk page and I will happily resume the process. Robert Skyhawk (Talk) 01:10, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

It needs more details of the history, for instance the bypassing by I-70 in the Sevier Valley. I stopped work on it without finishing it, but will hopefully get back to it in the future. --NE2 01:32, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the improvements. Despite this lack in the History section, I believe this article is deserving of GA status. I will proceed to make the necessary changes. Congratulations to all involved editors. Robert Skyhawk (Talk) 19:06, 2 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
