[edit] GA Review

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):

    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Maybe add a note in the text to "See diagram" where the historical map applies, but overall I'm okay with the level of detail in that section.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

Very impressive. Meets all the standards I can think of. If it is decided later on to compress I-82 exits into one row ("See I-82 for exits on I-82"), that's OK too. —Rob (talk) 18:11, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
