This is the first Washington and Oregon Interstate GA. I hope this article can be a FA soon, after some expansion and more tips from some reviewers. So, start reviewing! ~~ ĈĠ ☺ Simple? 21:50, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Ruhrfisch comments: Very briefly, here are some suggestions for improvement. If you want more comments, please ask here.
- I know the map is a standard format, but I find the two maps difficult to interpret - I do not know where the OR/WA border is or the cities mentioned in the article are, and it took me several views before I could figure out where the green planned extension was in the second map.
- I am not a fan of refs in the lead and this may be an issue at FAC. Presumably all the refs are also in the body of the article too, so they are not absolutely required in the lead. I also think the lead should mention the important points in the article, so why not include the proposed extension to Tacoma over Naches Pass in the lead?
- Is it normal for use stats to be the course description section? Also the stats for I-82 in WA are not given that I saw.
- It seems very short for a FA, which is probably a sign that it is not as comprehensive as it could be.
- A model articleis often helpful for ideas and exmaples to follow - see the highway articles at Wikipedia:Featured_articles#Transport
Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:53, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
