GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Warning: you will need non-map sources to take this to ACR or FAC.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   The history section is vague; the maps just aren't covering the whole story.

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):

   Again not a criteria for GA, but the image is a little dark and could be adjusted.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• The road runs through areas of woods and farms with some homes In Blackiston, - lost a period
• Try and cut down a little bit on the zoning.
• In Clayton, the road crosses Norfolk Southern's Delmarva Secondary at-grade - explain that it's a railroad?

Hold - sure, a few minor things, but the history is quite vague. --Rschen7754 04:04, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

I have addressed the prose issues and have added some more detail to the history from non-map sources. Dough4872 19:37, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

My main issue that remains is the sentence "By the 1990s, DE 6 was routed onto its current alignment through Smyrna." - we're given no context for what's changed or why these changes were made. --Rschen7754 20:42, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

I have added details about what changed with the rerouting. Unfortunately, I cannot find a reason why this happened. Dough4872 22:09, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

You might run into issues in future venues but I think this is good enough for GA. It might take me a while but I intend to pass the article. --Rschen7754 22:18, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

I brightened up the image a bit... let me know what you (plural) think. Juliancolton (talk) 22:09, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Looks great! Thanks! --Rschen7754 22:18, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
