A script has been used to generate a semi-automated review of the article for issues relating to grammar and house style; it can be found on the automated peer review page for July 2008.

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because its a good article that the two of us are trying to get to FAC. We are looking for more sufficient information before then, and it'll be a big bonus if we can get all problems solved before FAC, so that goes smoothly. Thanks!

In the lead: "...before coming to an end at a ferry landing." -> "...before ending at a ferry landing."
"...both of which were created in 1827." -> "both created in 1827."
If linking a day/month, link the year as well.
"Located ~~entirely~~ within Adirondack State Park..."
"The Burlington-Port Kent Ferry ~~is the ferry that~~ connects NY 373 and the hamlet of Port Kent to the city of Burlington, Vermont."
Many other prose problems. Needs a copyedit. Contact some people from WP:PRV.
Ref 4 needs a "p." in front of the page number, for consistency with ref 8.
Ref 9 date needs linking, since the date in ref 8 is linked.
Otherwise looks good, though short.
Hope my comments are useful. Let me know if you need any help!

You said you wanted to know what to work on before taking to FAC, so I looked at the sourcing and referencing with that in mind. I reviewed the article's sources as I would at FAC.
- I would not consider http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nystlawr/1850_VR_NewsItems.htm a reliable source, better to list the original.

Hope this helps. Please note that I don't watchlist Peer Reviews I've done. If you have a question about something, you'll have to drop a note on my talk page to get my attention. (My watchlist is already WAY too long, adding peer reviews would make things much worse.) 13:38, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
