GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   The article contains poorly structured sentences such as "Route 27 is part of the National Highway System as either a part of the Strategic Highway Network (west of the Mixing Bowl) or an arterial highway (otherwise)." and "As a result, this ramp was eliminated and replaced with a ramp from the Eastbound Route 27 into the Pentagon South Parking Lot." In addition, the article needs an adequate lead per WP:LEAD.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Citations needed for "Route 27 is part of the National Highway System as either a part of the Strategic Highway Network (west of the Mixing Bowl) or an arterial highway (otherwise). It is a limited access four or six lane divided highway for its entire length." and "...Henderson Hall, the headquarters of the United States Marine Corps, the Air Force Memorial, the Pentagon, the Navy Annex, the Pentagon Memorial, the Pentagon City Mall, and Arlington National Cemetery."

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   The Exit list could include mileposts as well as information on the location of the route. In addition, the route description needs better organization.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

The prose of the article needs a lot of fixes before it can even be considered for GA. Therefore, I will have to fail the article. The article may be renominated once these issues are addressed. Dough4872 04:04, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Mileposts

There are always mileposts on a highway, even if the signs aren't physically posted. At the very least, the southern/western terminus is MP 0.00(0) and the northern/eastern terminus is the length. Michigan doesn't post any milepost signs on non-freeway highways, yet the distance from the starting terminus to the intersection in question can be determined and located in the articles. The junction list for this article fails MOS:RJL because this column is missing, and either the location (county/location) columns or the location table note are missing.

• I appreciate your help on this and thank you for your edits. If an entire road is all within one city or one county, what purpose is served adding that to the table? " If the roadway only passes through one geographic location, the column(s) should be omitted and a note placed above the top of the column." MOS:RJL Racepacket (talk) 20:04, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
