Notes

[edit]

*Section 1.1- contains the word "some" in referring to residences. This is a weasel word and is not for an article.

*Section 1.1- routes cannot "leave". That is personification.

*Section 1.1- "A short distance after"... Could we be a little more specific?

*Section 1.1- What is Harding Highway?

*Section 2.0- Second last sentence, loses neutrality "However"

*Intro- Intro (as I see a lot in transport articles) is too specific. It should summarize the article, not provide details.

*All over- Wikilinks only need to be done once per section.

*External Links- Need at least one, you could put NJDOT

*"Web references need the author, publisher, publishing date and access date." (from User:Ealdgyth/GA review cheatsheet)

*Portal links belong in the "See also" section. (from User:Ealdgyth/GA review cheatsheet)

*All over- Withs are all over, see if we could be more specific. (i.e. "Using "with" as an additive link leads to wordy and awkward prose, e.g. "the town has ten councillors, with one being the district mayor" → "the town has ten councillors; one is the district mayor" " from User:Ealdgyth/GA review cheatsheet)

*Avoid vague words, such as "various", "many", "several", "long", "a number of", "just", "very" and "almost". (from User:Ealdgyth/GA review cheatsheet)

Thanks for the review, I have replied to the above suggestions given to this point. I have removed the two original research tags as they are supported by the SLD and Google references. ---Dough4872 22:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC) [reply]

  • ok, still finishing up my review, (have to check sources, which takes a while, and have been busy). Could use a little more cleanup as above, I may post more here. --MWOAP (talk) 02:54, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
