[edit] Help?

Where should El Toro Road be categorized to? -- Artisol2345 00:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Edit: I got it; never mind. Artisol2345 21:30, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

Rschen, why do you believe that El Toro Road should be merged to County Route S18 (California)? 68.4.104.141 (talk) 00:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

The articles describe the same stretch of road. Furthermore, El Toro Road may not be notable by itself. --Rschen7754 (T C) 00:52, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

All of El Toro Road is part of CR S18; this probably calls for a merge. Is the road particularly "notable", or is it just a standard suburban arterial? --NE2 17:26, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Not to my knowledge, but then I don't live in Orange County. --Rschen7754 (T C) 03:42, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I do live in Orange County, and I know of El Toro Road. But only half of CR S18 travels on El Toro Road. Do you still believe it calls for a merge? AL2TB Gab or Tab 01:22, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Um, thats basically what NE2 said above... --Rschen7754 (T C) 01:51, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
NE2 uses a higher level of vocabulary than me. I could not comprehend the words "suburban arterial" accurately. And no, the dictionary did not help either. I'm just in 10th grade... AL2TB Gab or Tab 02:15, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Articles merged. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 05:57, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    This article's prose quality is beautiful, especially for a county route
    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:
    There is no history pre-2008 in the article - it says 1970 in the infobox, but there has got to be more history pre-2008. There is now some pre-2008 history.
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
    Not as far as I can see
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
    This article has been stable, as well as quiet.
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    Not applicable per below.
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
    No pictures, not even a map of the highway
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:

This article meets almost all of the criteria. There are no pictures, but I won't fail or On-hold the article for it. I do wish to see a map request in the next few days however. Anyway, fix the comments listed above and I will pass this article. Thanks. Mitch32contribs 12:30, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

One comment. In the sentence, The route follows in a convoluted pattern from State Route 133 in Laguna Beach to State Route 55 near Orange, "convoluted" is very POVish, and not suitable for an encyclopedia. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 12:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the pictures; I'm not a photographer. However, I'll see what I can do about the pre-2008 history. Can you please hold this GA Review until next Monday? I'm kind of busy this week in school, doing homework, and studying for tests. And I really don't have time to address the problem right now. And yes, my username used to be formerly Dabbydabby.

"Convoluted" - POV removed and sentence reworded. Dabby (talk) 02:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
