GA Review[edit]

This article is well-written and does a good job of explaining the history and features of the road. I had three small concerns as I read it:

  1. The lead is supposed to summarize the article, so there should not be any information in the lead that does not appear later in the article. The following section is from the lead but does is not found elsewhere in the article: "In 2006, the Atlantic City Expressway counted almost 68 million toll-paying vehicles.[2] The speed limit on the Atlantic City Expressway is 65 miles per hour with "conditions permitting" on the posted sign for most of the route. Call boxes are located every mile on either side.[3]" This should be moved to later in the article, and the second paragraph of the lead should be expanded to make up for this removal.
  2. Is a source available for "However, the proposal was not enacted due to opposition from the state of New Jersey."?
  3. "A few years ago" is vague and informal. If the date is known, it should be used. If not, more encyclopedic phrasing is needed (eg. in the mid-2000s). This will also avoid the problem of dating the prose, as the sentence (as it is currently written) would have to be updated every few years.

I will place the nomination on hold to allow for these conerns to be addressed and/or discussed. Any questions or concerns can be left here, as I have placed this page on my watchlist. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:52, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have gone back into the article and made the suggested changes. Dough4872 (talk) 02:01, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • It looks good. The only remaining issue is with the references. They should all have publishers listed. Once they are added, I will promote the article. GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:47, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I have fixed the references Dough4872 (talk) 03:19, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Looks good. Thanks for the quick response. I am promoting the article. If you have a chance, it would be great if you could review an article in return to cut down on the backlog at WP:GAN. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 13:40, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
