Talk:Delaware Route 82

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • two lanes without a median could use linking or explaining.
  • Generally, think that are written in capital letters (Red Clay Valley Scenic Byway, etc) should be linked. They are usually important enough for an own article.
  • byway could use explaining or linking.

Otherwise, I think this is a fairly good article. Anything else which probably will come up during the PGA process will surely be easily fixed. -Barras (talk) 18:42, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have made changes to the article. Dough4872 (talk) 03:05, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not a fan of this one as a PGA; it has little interest for anyone who does not live in the area. Lots of "first it turns left, then it turns right.." Why not have a map?

Some spectacularly bad prose, such as: "DE 82 was first given its number by 1952 on the same road it is on today". !! Macdonald-ross (talk) 12:18, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review[change source]

Positives[change source]

  1. The article is broad in its coverage and does not leave any major aspects out.
  2. The article has picture(s) to illustrate the article.
  3. It is well-sourced by reliable sources.
  4. The article is consistent in the way it retrieves the dates and uses proper cite templates.

Negatives[change source]

  1. It is fairly small, but this is ok as it is not a strict rule at WP:PGA
  2. There's only 6 sources. Any way of finding more?
Well that's ok. I believe its safe to nominate it at WP:P(V)GA. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 03:00, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Final thoughts[change source]

Route description
  1. DE 82 heads to the west of DE 52 near Greenville as Campbell Road, which has two lanes cars can travel on without a median, which is a physical divider between the travel lanes in each direction. - this sentence is too long. Consider breaking it into two small sentences.
  2. After making a turn to the northwest to go on Creek Road, DE 82 heads north next to the Red Clay Creek with the Wilmington and Western Railroad turning to the southwest. - another large sentence. Consider breaking them up into two small sentences.
History
  1. Wiktionary the word "scenic" --> scenic
Overall

The article has a high chance at passing at WP:PGA. Just fix the concerns made by me and the other reviewer. Note, I do not watch peer reviewed articles. If you have left a message here, please contact me on my talk page. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 14:46, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although the criteria are slightly different, I thought it deserved to be a GA on En Wikipedia. Racepacket (talk) 15:03, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
