Talk:New York State Route 10/GA1

GA Review

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   "6 miles (9.7 km)" is a rounding error. "The run of NY 10 through New York's largest park is predominantly rural yet scenic in nature." - borderline subjective, unless it's marked as a scenic route on a reliable map, or described as such by a reliable source.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   "The entire length of NY 10A is kept clean under the Adopt-A-Highway program by the Residents of Route 10A." - needs a reference.

Removed; only possible reference would be a photo. Fwgoebel (talk) 11:28, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Maybe want to mention elevation or whether or not the route is in hilly terrain, but that's optional.

2. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

3. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

4. 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):

   Umm... no images for a 155 mile road? This qualifies as a dealbreaker, unfortunately. :-(

5. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Needs an image, IMHO. If it was a short state route 200 miles from the nearest city, I would understand, but this one seems to stretch, and I can't really imagine it in my mind. —Rob (talk) 03:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Done - The ones that Fwogebel didn't get I have fixed.Mitch32^(UP) 10:24, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh and - Pictures are not easy you know :P Mitch32^(UP) 10:24, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I know... it seems kind of arbitrary, but pics of a road are much easier than people - the road's location is known, it's just a matter of getting there. (I don't even think fair-use pics of living people are allowed on Wikipedia, so we should exceed that standard.) —Rob (talk) 16:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Actually, the image that was removed is OK... it looked like NY 10 was on that road. Alternatively, a good overview image of a city on the route (that just happens to have the route of NY 10 in the picture) would also be acceptable. —Rob (talk) 17:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

There are now five (5) photos, not including the deleted one (I did get one of the same intersection, but showing more). If five is too much, we can reduce. I concentrated on the northern 2/3 of the route for those. Oh, and...there have never been any cities on NY 10. :-) Fwgoebel (talk) 03:06, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Cities, hamlets, towns... they're all the same to me. :-D Looks good now; thanks! —Rob (talk) 16:02, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
