- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- You should explain how SR 25 is 251's parent route. Not everyone is a roadgeek, so the concept of a parent route may be novel to some people. Route description has a pretty glaring run-on sentence. RD also says the route continued on 1st Street. A highway can't continue from its starting point, but it can begin. The road is still there, so I think you should talk about the road in the present tense, but still refer to SR 251 in the past tense.
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
- I can't find anything that says Boundary, Washington, is anything more than the border crossing. A Google search points me to that border crossing, but I don't see anything that says it was a community at any point. A US Postal Service search verifies it's not a community. Please either explain what Boundary, Washington, is or remove the references to it.
- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects):
b (focused):
- The history section stops after the highway was turned over in 1983. Certainly, the highway is still there, so any mention of what it is now would be an improvement.
- a (major aspects):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- No edit wars, etc.:
- 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):
- Images would be nice. It's a very picturesque area.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- These are certainly fixable issues, so I'm placing the article on hold until they can be resolved.
- Pass/Fail:
- I have fixed the run-on sentences in the route description and eliminated the reference to a parent route, since the term "Auxiliary route of SR 25" is in the infobox. All references to Boundary are now pointing to it as just a location/name on the map and not a community. Added something stating that the highway continues to be maintained by the county and that no realignments have occurred. Also, I can't find images at the moment, but I'm scouring several sites to find them. –CGTalk 00:34, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
- You didn't fix any of the mentions of what Boundary is, which according to the WSDOT map, is an unincorporated community. I have fixed that for you. I will reluctantly pass the article. –Fredddie™ 01:15, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
