# Talk:Hanlon Expressway

The MTO also has been wanting to upgrade the Hanlon Parkway to freeway standards for a while, connecting the new Highway 7 freeway alignment all the way south to roughly Highway 403 in the Hamilton/Ancaster Area.

Nope, Highway 6 between Flamborough and Milton is not going to be expanded beyond two lanes for some time into the future. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 23:19, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Although both terms are used, Expressway seems to be much more prevalent. The recent news regarding the Laird interchange as well the original construction reports from 1971 both use Expressway. As such I'm moving the article. - Floydian τ ¢ 21:03, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi! I'll be reviewing this article for GA status, and should have my full review up shortly. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 05:17, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

1: Well-written

a. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors: .
b. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists: 

Check for WP:WTW:   Done Fixed

There is a statement in the History section - "opened on November 29, 2013, ceremoniously, with Guelph MPP Liz Sandals in attendance." It uses inline citation or in-text attribution to Source 5. The source says "Today the Ministry of Transportation and the City of Guelph celebrated the opening of the Hanlon Expressway/Laird Road provincial interchange.". I think juxtaposing the MPP with ceremoniously may make it contentious because the source gives credit for the opening of the Expressway to the Ministry of Transportation and the City of Guelph in general.
Check for WP:EMBED:   Done

The table is standard in such articles. Checked other FAs - Ontario Highway 401 & Ontario Highway 416

2: Verifiable with no original research

a. Has an appropriate reference section:  Yes
b. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:  excellent Random check on accessible sources (1-7, 11, 13 & 14).

c. No original research:   Done

3: Broad in its coverage

4: Neutral

5: Stable: No edit wars, etc:  Yes
6: Images  Done (Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license)

As per the above checklist, the issues identified are:

 Short paragraphs in the Route description section and the History section.
 The word ceremoniously and the MPP are placed together in the statement "opened on November 29, 2013, ceremoniously, with Guelph MPP Liz Sandals in attendance".
This article is a very promising GA nominee. I'm glad to see your work here. I'm putting the article on hold. All the best! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 18:08, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

I've joined the widowed paragraph in the History section. However, the one in the Route description doesn't seem like it would fit in either paragraph as it discusses the naming of the route rather than the... err... route of the route.
Reworded the ceremony bit to avoid boosting the MPP, and added another source to validate that she attended.
Thank you once again for taking on all four of these GANs. Your reviews are very thorough and I appreciate that, expecially for an article such as this one that may be a future A or FA candidate. - Floydian τ ¢ 19:10, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. In fact, my mentor Quadell deserves all the credit for all the good work that I'm doing here. The mistakes are all mine. It's been a pleasure and a privilege to be reviewing your articles. They are phenomenally meticulous. So thank you very much for your service to Wikipedia. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 19:34, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
I think the "orphaned" paragraph should be left as it is. It can't be deleted because it satisfies "The most general scope that summarises essentially all knowledge" and "All material that a reader would be likely to agree matches the specified scope is covered". I still regret the deletion of "speed limit" because it was not contentious and hence did not need an inline citation. But it struck me later.
OK. I'm passing the article to GA status. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 19:34, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Awesome, thank you :) I'm sure I could find some source that colour-codes the whole highway network based on speed limits, or use Streetview imagery. Minor giant steps. - Floydian τ ¢ 22:19, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
