About six months before this request, I completely rewrote the article about Path 27, because I've been very fascinated in HVDC technology and chose this page in hopes of earning it a "Good Article" badge. See what you think, and feel free to add any citations you see fit.

The only changes I wish for are more photographs of Path 27, including close-ups of the pylons. I also want a photo of the converter station at the IPP in Delta, UT, for the subsection on the converters. Lastly, there should be images of Path 27's electrode lines and grounding sites if possible.

If you ever need to revise the text, remember this: Avoid intricate detail that might digress from the page’s main subject and context. In short; "Eyes on the prize, keep off the nitty and gritty."

Comments from Z1720

Comments after a quick skim:

"The number in "Path 27" is assigned by the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), which oversees the electrical transmission grid across the American West, to distinguish this line from the other critical transmission routes." Needs a citation
"Depending on official tallies and news accounts, the total cost was $5.5 billion." Needs a citation.
"Path 27 transports electricity from Utah to California under normal circumstances." Needs a citation.
"The converters are located at the IPP station north of Delta, UT, and the Adelanto Converter Station in Adelanto, north of San Bernardino, CA." Needs a citation.
"Path 27's valve halls are also fortified against earthquakes." Needs a citation.
"The electricity is then sent on its way down Path 27." Needs a citation.
"with the Adelanto terminal becoming a rectifier, and the IPP an inverter, although this seldom happens out of practicality." Needs a citation.
"Each node covers an area of approximately 0.25 square miles (0.65 km2)." Needs a citation.
"found on other HVDC projects such as the Nelson River Transmission System in Canada." Needs a citation.
Each paragraph in the "Route" section needs a citation at the end of the paragraph.
"The sources will beget 840 MW and 300 MW at peak, respectively, or 1,140 MW when combined, still lower than Path 27's maximal capacity. Neither is anticipated to alter the power line's structure." Needs a citation.
Suggest incorporating the Further Reading sources into the article or removing them.

Those are my thoughts. Z1720 (talk) 14:54, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Z1720 !

I reviewed and considered your suggestions, and several citations have been added in earnest. However, at others points of the article, references may not be necessary for the sake of common sense (see Wikipedia:Common knowledge). Thanks very much for your input!

@Nebulous2357: WP:CK is not a policy or guideline, but veribility is. Also, some of the uncited statements are not common knowledge. For example, "The number in "Path 27" is assigned by the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC)," is not common knowledge. I suggest referencing everything, and others can determine later if the reference is unnecessary. Z1720 (talk) 03:27, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
