Figure since I'm reviewing Shibuya Route, I might as well look at this one too. Intriguing article for a road that is definitely unusual.

Prose and MOS

[edit]

The article has well-written and interesting prose. Except for the ref issues (see below), I don't see any MOS violations. Definitely a pass in both of these fields.

Coverage

[edit]

Only looks at the relevant aspects of the route, and while it reports on a lot on what is on the side of the road, it is not overdetailed and serves to demonstrate the broader context of American influence on Okinawa, which also contributed to this highway. There isn't any bias here either that I notice. Pass in all three

Stability

[edit]

Doesn't even have daily edits, let alone edit wars. Passed

References

[edit]
  • Same problems with Google Maps as last time, see if you can replace them in a similar manner
  • Minor one: The articles says 245.3 km, but MLIT says 245.2 km, whats with that? I assume that 現道 means "actual road" and thus is the figure for how much the length of the land segments are.
  • No OR, all statements are backed, so a pass here
  • Inconsistent linking of publishers (eg Japan Times is linked while MLIT isn't)
  • Okinawa Hai seems to be a blog. Is there a better source for the Okinawa Expressway info?
  • Where does Military Road 10 come from? I see 軍道1号線 (Military Road 1) and 軍営繕1号線 (according to a Wiktionary lookup, Military Camp Repair Road 1) in Gazoo. If you can find English sources with official English terms, that would be great as well, but if there isn't any or it's hard to access, I understand and you shouldn't worry about it.


Pictures and copyvio

[edit]

Earwig detects to problems, and given the formatting of the sources, I don't think there are any copyvios. Good use of the OSM map and relevent pictures, all of which are free to use. Passed on both of these fronts.

  • Actually, on second thought, I changed the wording of the sentence on Chatan as it resembled the Japan Times article a bit too much. But yes, I think its better now and still a pass.

  • Thanks again for taking the time to review this nomination that's been languishing for several months! Must have been a typo I copied and pasted throughout the article with that distance discrepancy, even the Google Maps reference had the distance between the last two junctions at about 0.22 km rather than the 0.3 that was posted before. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 01:37, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • No problem. Thanks for making the changes. Another user noticed my review for Shibuya Route and notified me that Google Maps is a reliable source for distances and has good editorial control (even with the feedback stuff, the map data itself is from reliable datasets), so articles using it have passed not only GAN but also FAC. Sorry for the mistaken suggestions and being so particular over distances. It might take a while for me to finish this review because I've been busy with other stuff, but it should definitely be done by the original one week deadline.
