Comments[edit]

"3 miles (5 km) to the north of Honeoye Falls" - new sentences should not start with numbers.
- Also, that sentence is a run on.
  - Revised slightly. – T M F 01:35, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"New York State Thruway (Interstate 90 or I-90)." - is there a need to mention Interstate 90 at all here?
- Why shouldn't it be? – T M F 01:35, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - It seems redundant, but its not a reason to hold the GA. --Admr Boltz 01:41, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - How is it redundant? A casual reader from Kingston who isn't brushed up on their geography could read this article, see the Thruway link, and assume it was I-87. – T M F 01:43, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - True, then since you do not refer to I-90 anywhere else drop just the I-90 portion and leave just the linked Interstate 90. --Admr Boltz 02:18, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Now that I can agree with. Done. – T M F 02:32, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"CSX Transportation-owned West Shore Subdivision" - doesn't seem to be supported by the Y! Maps reference.
- I sincerely question if this claim even needs a reference. It's hardly controversial and I doubt anyone would ever call it into question. The other alternative here is to just say the road passes over a railroad line, and I think doing so detracts from the quality of the article. – T M F 01:35, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fair enough. --Admr Boltz 01:41, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
