GA Review

Comments:

1. The sentence "PA 112 originated in the commonwealth's 1928 numbering of state highways in Pennsylvania." sounds wordy.
2. Can another word be used instead of " decommissioned", as it is a possible neologism? (this is seen a few times in the article)
3. The lead of the article is a little short. Can some more descriptive information be added?
4. Is the note in the route description standard for former highways? Many former route GA's, such as M-554 (Michigan highway) and New York State Route 20N, do not have a note.
5. From Yahoo Maps, the southern terminus of present-day Cheyney Road is at Concord Road, not US 322, which is located a short distance to the south. Can you verify that Concord Road was possibly a former alignment of US 322?
6. From a map of the Philadelphia area I have, the correct name of Markham City Park is Newlin Grist Mill Park.
7. The sentence "After that intersection, PA 112 turned to the northeast, weaving through Markham before leaving the community, and the highway continued on." sounds awkward.
8. Do not need to indicate Thornton is in Pennsylvania.
9. In last sentence, indicate that PA 112 enters Chester County again.
10. Can more descriptive information about what settings the route passes through be added to the article, such as that it passes by the Delaware County Prison?
11. "state numbering of state highways in the commonwealth" sounds wordy. "numbering of state highways in Pennsylvania" would suffice here.
12. The sentence "Although they made the adjustment, PA 112 ended up becoming one of the many routes decommissioned in 1946, when the commonwealth of Pennsylvania removed several hundred miles from their system." sounds awkward. "PA 112 was removed from the state highway system in 1946 when Pennsylvania removed several hundred miles from their system." would work better.
13. Is the mileage for the US 1 intersection known?
14. The northern terminus of the route is at PA 926 not PA 946.
15. In the notes column, PA 122 should be PA 112.
16. Can you add the street names in the major intersections table?
17. Can you add a picture of the route as it looks today, a historical picture of the route, or an old map scan to the article?

I am placing the article on hold. Dough4872 (talk) 00:48, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Done for all but #10 basically - this route is decommissioned, we don't need to be descriptive.Mitch/HC32 13:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Issue #5 still needs to be addressed. I looked at a 1946 topographic map and verified that US 322 used to run along Concord Road. Can you rephrase the sentence "Pennsylvania Route 112 began at an intersection with U.S. Route 322 in the community of Markham." to say "Pennsylvania Route 112 began at an intersection with U.S. Route 322 (now Concord Road) in the community of Markham." and change the major intersections entry for US 322 in the junction list to say Concord Road, with "former US 322" in the notes column?

Well, its done a little differently, but its now changed.Mitch/HC32 16:13, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Since that point has been addressed, I will pass the article. Dough4872 (talk) 16:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
