I've listed this article for peer review because I want to prepare it for potentially becoming an FA and would like to know where the article is lacking, if the sources are consistent, grammar, comprehensiveness, etc.

Ruhrfisch comments: Interesting article and thanks for your work on it. With an eye to WP:FAC, here are some suggestions for improvement.
- One dab link found in the disambig links tool on this page
- The two blue links in the external links tool on this page are to non-existent sites when I clicked on them and will need to be fixed.
- Articles have to be comprehensive to pass FAC. The infobox says this is called the King's Highway 35, but the name is not mentioned in the article. It need not be a lot (A sentence or two), but I think this should be addressed in the article in some way
- Similary alternate names are usually listed in the lead, as is the name of the article. So not only does it seem like King's HIghway should be in the lead, but the full name of the article (Ontario Highway 35) is not in the lead either.
- I think the length and the general direction of the highway (north-south) should be in the lead too.
- I think this needs a copyedit before FAC - Why is City capitalized in into the City of Kawartha Lakes? Or The terrain flattens as approaching Lindsay, which the highway bypasses.[3] is just not grammatically correct.
- After passing Minden, the scenic highway begins diving into valleys and along cliffs overlooking several lakes.[9] I really do not want to drive on a highway that "begins diving ... along cliffs" - eek! ;-) Needs to be clearer - perhaps descends into valleys and follows the edges of cliffs?
- Is there a date / year for the Fenelon Road in History?
- Do the italics in History follow WP:ITALIC?
- Does this route follow (one paragraph) or avoid (another paragraph) the Bobcaygeon Road? And should Bobcaygeon Road be italicized or not?
- Spell out abbreviations like MTO
- Not clear what refs are used for the table at the bottom.
- Last ref (current 28) is a bare URL - needs to be full information (title, publisher, accessdate at least)
- Any information on the amount of traffic this gets?
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). I do not watch peer reviews, so if you have questions or comments, please contact me on my talk page. Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 04:12, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
