Talk:M-35 (Michigan highway)/GA1
Failed GA[edit]
I've failed this article as a GA candidate for the following reasons:
- Bessert is not a reliable source. Please research further into more reliable sources. I recommend using driving directions for the length, and some historical documents for much of the history.
- "M-35 is the faster highway..." is POV.
- There are some parts of the article that are questionably original research, such as the points of interest.
- Some parts of the article that conflict with MISH standards:
- A route description is required.
- Communities along the route should be inside an infobox. This does not deserve a section or a subsection.
You are welcome to renominate this article once the concerns above have been adressed. V60 干什么？ · VDemolitions · VRoads (路) 03:13, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- How is Bessert not a reliable source? Michigan Highways is the most complete source of information on Michigan highways short of internal MDOT documents not readily available online to the general public. His sources include MDOT among many others.
- The historical information is supported by Fred Rydholm, local area historian as well as the Huron Mountain Club in two separate books.
- M-35 is the more direct routing between the two places. Reworded that sentence. Can you help identify any others?
- The points of interest along the route come from Rand McNally atlas as well as the Wikipedia article on Gwinn, Michigan itself. Would those citations nullify OR questions?
- I couldn't find any MSHP page that has the communities infobox used. In fact the example article from the project page doesn't have one at all. Did I format it correctly? Too many communities? Wrong location on the page? I think it looks bad where it falls immediately under the main route infobox myself, but where else is it supposed to go?
- What needs improvement with the route description. What is missing? There is one present under the heading "Current routing"
From your critique, there aren't many details to go on for me to rework and fix things except the POV comment and the infobox list comment already addressed. Please help me if I am to improve this any more. Imzadi1979 03:27, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- A section called route description needs to be included and to describe the routing. The current routing sec needs to be renamed and expanded. This is standard for all WP:USRD articles. (It is a generic requirement). --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:32, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
