GA review

[edit]
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    There is a sentence in the #Utica area: "At the exit, the three states are joined..." I think the word "routes" is missing there.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  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):
    Some photos would be nice, but not necessary for a GA
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    Looks good to me. The issues in the prose are trivial.

Excuse me? One whole section is unsourced. I've made a post at WT:GAN about this. D.M.N. (talk) 17:37, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Issue corrected. --Rschen7754 (T C) 17:47, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, looks better. D.M.N. (talk) 18:20, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NY 8/NY 10 Discrepancy

[edit]

I’m posting this on the New York State Route 8 and New York State Route 10 talk pages because I plan to resolve the discrepancy about the former NY 8 and NY 10 overlap. The NY 10 article indicates they no longer overlap and uses a 2017 NYSDOT document to justify that position. The NY 8 article claims the 2017 document is erroneous and the routes still overlap.

I contacted the NYSDOT 9 Public Information Officer, who pursued this with the NYSDOT 9 Traffic & Safety Director and the Delaware South Resident Engineer. I was informed that Reference Marker 1000 (the indication of the start of a New York Route) for NY 8 is at the former split of NY 8 and NY 10. Therefore, NY 8 begins where NY 10 turns right to head east along the Cannonsville Reservoir. No one was willing to state definitively that all NY 8 reference signs were removed between NY 17 and the current start of NY 8.

I plan to perform the updates to both articles in about a week. Incidentally, I checked GoogleMaps and MapQuest. MapQuest identifies the section of road in question as NY 10. GoogleMaps identifies it as NY 8. I’ll contact GoogleMaps after I’ve made the changes.WarrenFW (talk) 05:58, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
