# Talk:New Jersey Route 38

This review is transcluded from Talk:New Jersey Route 38/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Hey Dough, you've been doing some wonders on this article; I don't see much room for improvement should this cross the threshold into GA status, although there are are few things.
Here's what I see:

The most glaring problem I see with this article, to tell the truth, are all the redlinks. This should be dealt with accordingly; per the redlink guideline, all redlinks that you feel you can create stubs for (that would be expandable and notable, rather than a permastub or something that would end up going meeting WP:CSD) you should. Otherwise, you should remove the redlinks that you cannot create stubs for.
According to the Route description criterion in the Standards portion of WP U.S. Roads, third-level headers are not necessary when discussing intrastate routes, such as this one. I personally believe that it helps out when organized in this way, so I'll leave the decision up to you.
Something that mentions how it services the Philadelphia metro area should be added into the article; I am not from New Jersey or Pennsylvania, and I only realized it was in the Philadelphia area when I saw "Camden" listed.
I understand that the lead can go into "considerable detail," but for an article this size I think three paragraphs is too much. I nominated a city article once with ten sections and placed it up with a three paragraph lead, and I got nailed for it. Is there anything that you can shave off?
Once those are fixed, in my honest opinion, I think this will be ready.
Good luck and good work, --Starstriker7(Dime algoor see my works) 02:58, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Cool; it appears that all my concerns have been sufficiently addressed. I hope you do not mind if I call in a mentor to check my review over, and to make sure it is watertight; I am trying to get warmed up to the GA reviewing process. --Starstriker7(Dime algoor see my works) 04:22, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
You're doing well, Starstriker. I also think this article is ready for GA. The only thing that I think could be changed is this:

"The route is a four– to six–lane divided highway for most of its length and passes through commercial developemnt, residential development, and some farmland." I don't think that the endashes are needed.
Otherwise, great job, both of you. bibliomaniac15 21:10, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I have removed the endashes. Dough4872 (talk) 01:18, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Alright. I think you are ready; congratulations. --Starstriker7(Dime algoor see my works) 02:27, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

This article has failed the USRD GA audit and will be sent to WP:GAR if the issues are not resolved within one week. Please see WT:USRD for more details, and please ask me if you have any questions as to why this article failed. --Rschen7754 (T C) 04:13, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

 Done. Dough4872 (talk) 22:07, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
