I'll be reviewing the article. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 08:48, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    Overall looks well written. Some comments:
    • H-63 is a county-designated highway (CDH) in the Upper Peninsula of the US state of Michigan. — link US state
    • The road is called Mackinac Trail, named for an Indian trail used before European settlers reached the area. — the transition here is choppy. I'd recommend "The road is called Mackinac Trail after an Indian trail used before European settlers…"
    • I would also highlight that H-63 is only one of the modern roads that received the name of the Native American trail (in particular, mentioned the Mackinac Trail in the Lower Peninsula).
    • Later the roadway was used as a section of US Highway 2 (US 2) — I would say, "originally, the roadway was built as a section of…" to further delineate that you are not talking about the ancestral Mackinac Trail
    • H-63 starts a winding trail at Business Loop I-75 (BL I-75) — "Interstate 75 Business Loop" sounds like a more natural phrasing.
    • As it continues , H-63 has a connection to the southern terminus of M-123 — fix spacing around the comma
    • From Rudyard northward, H-63 once again runs parallel to I-75. — I thought I-75 separated and headed northeast? When did they come together again?
    • Later in 1962 and 1963, — Add a comma after "later", or simply remove the word.
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
    Again, these sort of articles really need maps, but this is not something that should hold up a GA nomination.
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Essentially a GA, as the requested fixes should not take long. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 09:24, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    All of the above copy edits are done save two. Business loops more commonly use the full name as used in the article, although the inverted order you suggested isn't unused around here either. Tony1 suggested not linking "US state" at an FAC to avoid diluting the value in the link to the state name. Imzadi 1979 → 10:15, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Fair enough. Passed. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 10:32, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
