Great Northern Highway (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) review
- Suggestion: Promote to A-Class
- Nominator's comments: Great Northern Highway is Australia's longest highway, with a length of almost 3,200 kilometres (2,000 mi), all in a single state – that's longer than the whole of I-95, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was the longest road to be nominated at ACR.

I feel really badly that this nomination has dragged on this long. I've been wanting to review it, but I've been busy lately. If it keeps dragging on I will eventually review it, but if someone else wants to, feel free to take it. --Rschen7754 23:04, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

A couple of quick comments to start. All of the footnotes use the same date formats, so that's good. A couple of general comments though:
Now that those formatting comments are out of the way, I can say that every source is appropriately reliable for use in an article on Wikipedia. They're all good maps, good newspaper articles, books, or government publications that pass our basic reliability tests. So if the formatting is polished up, this should have no problems with any future FAC. Imzadi 1979 → 05:02, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Review by Rschen7754
editI'll admit upfront that this review will probably be really slow and might take a month, just because I have so little time right now... but I think it's better than Evad having to wait another 3 months for the review to be closed (which would likely happen otherwise). So, I'll break this up into small pieces.
- Preliminary stuff
- Some sections were effectively just sand - "effectively just" seems a bit colloquial here.
- NorthLink WA should be linked in the lead. --Rschen7754 23:04, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
- Done these - Evad37 [talk] 02:16, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- Route description
- 7830 and 17,710 - inconsistent (also see other numbers in that sentence)
- Fixed - Evad37 [talk] 02:16, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- Out of five stars, 21% was rated -> were? same with 79%
- I used "was" here because the percentages are of the highway (singular) – i.e. 21% [of the highway] were... doesn't seem right. - Evad37 [talk] 02:16, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- Great Northern Highway begins in at Morrison Road - don't need "at"
- Adjusted to "begin at" - in isn't really correct.
- paralleling the coastline for 455 kilometres (283 mi), passing - needs an "and" before "passing"
- Done - Evad37 [talk] 02:16, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- Some of the climates should probably be linked
- Linked tropical monsoon climate - Evad37 [talk] 02:16, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- The highway continues on for six kilometres (3.7 mi), - no need for a comma after that. --Rschen7754 23:54, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- Removed - Evad37 [talk] 02:16, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- History
- The Midland Junction Municipal Council - run-on sentence
- "with the sealed road ending just past the Wheatbelt town of Miling in 1950." - Do we know how the sealed road got there? (There may not be info on this, but I thought I would ask)
- rather than the historical but slow cattle drives - not following why "historical" is mentioned here.
- However, the resources allocated to Great Northern Highway were needed just - don't need "just"
- Same with "even just" later on
- "Newman was reached" - passive voice i
- eleven route corridors were investigated - by who?
- $2.5 billion - there should be a nbsp here (and in similar places)
- Take a look at MOSNUM - I'm seeing some inconsistencies where you spell out the number versus where you use the numerals.
- Future
- Is the first paragraph still up to date?
This completes the review. --Rschen7754 21:42, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
