GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Pinkie Road, Saskatchewan/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Comments:

Done The infobox is messy. For instance, by putting Pinkie Road in the rotue parameter, you get a shield that you can see part of the name of the road and "Highway Pinkie Road" for a name
Done Specific names, such as Dewdney Avenue West, should not be in infobox -- Dewdney Ave West- the title - is much more notable than Saskatchewan Highway 730. These are both the same naming outside of Regina in the Rm of Sherwood No 159. Dewdney Ave West is a huge road of the capital city of Regina. Highway 730 is a secondary highway of Saskatchewan
Done I do not understand how there can be a browse when this is not a numbered route.
Done The lead of this article is too short, it needs more detail about the descriptive and historical aspects of the route
Done "Saskatchewan Highway 1 the Trans Canada Highway and 11 will..." needs comma. Also "11" needs to be clarified
DoneThe article is lacking a history section about the planning of the route
The pictures in the article do not directly pertain to Pinkie Road itself -- There are no actual pictures of Pinkie Road available, these are the closest, the aerial shows where it will be constructed and the existing rural Pinkie Road not a 4 lane highway.
Done Commas are missing again in sentences within Travel route section
Done The intersection list needs cleanup. Information about construction is not appropriate for the notes section.
Done I do not think "Pinkie Road, Saskatchewan" is an appropriate title for the article. If this is the only notable Pinkie Road, you do not to indicate Saskatchewan in the title. Otherwise, Saskatchewan should be in parentheses

Due to these issues in the article, I do not feel it currently meets the GA criteria. Therefore, I will have to fail it for now. You can make improvements to this article based on these comments and renominate it. Dough4872 (talk) 04:01, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking the time to review this article. Many of the items have been initially addressed, will tend to the others shortly as well. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 17:18, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved to Regina Bypass. Jenks24 (talk) 07:08, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pinkie Road → Regina bypass – I noticed that the Government of Saskatchewan is constructing the Regina bypass (see: http://www.reginabypass.ca/), an outer beltway for Regina; however there is no article that pertains to the entire project. The Pinkie Road article talks about what is now the west leg (a.k.a. Area 1) of the project (http://www.reginabypass.ca/project/map-facts/); I'm wondering if the article should be expanded to cover the whole project and renamed Regina bypass? Cheers! --MuzikMachine (talk) 23:22, 9 February 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. SkyWarrior 00:41, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support. It appears that this article has always been primarily about the future expansion and not the current Pinkie Road. If the whole project is termed Regina bypass, a move seems in order. Any reason not to move? — AjaxSmack 19:19, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. This article was created at a time when Pinkie Road itself was the main project, and the south and east phases of the bypass weren't actually happening yet. But as things stand now, the south and east phases are underway — and we can't really justify having an article about the whole project and a separate article about the Pinkie Road segment. So, yes, we should move and expand this article accordingly. I think the right title might be "Regina Bypass" (both words capitalized) rather than "Regina bypass", though. Bearcat (talk) 23:29, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Agree with Bearcat to capitalize Bypass as is done on the two websites linked above. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:55, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Scope & Cost[edit]

Under Scope it lists 12 overpasses, though it would be more accurate to use the word interchanges. The total number of bridge structures is 36, which includes the 3 built under the former west bypass project. Several of the bridges aren't even at interchanges (4 for Wascana Creek, 8 for rail lines). It doesn't help that the government's own website got this wrong.

The listed cost in the intro for the project is misleading, though it is more accurately described in cost section further down. The actual cost of construction is $1.2 billion. The contract value is $1.88 billion with the difference representing 30 years of labour, equipment & materials for all types of maintenance from snow clearing & mowing to road resurfacing during that period. The project itself would just be the construction. Once construction is complete it is no longer a project, and remaining cost is simply operations. https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/transportation/regina-bypass/regina-bypass-project
