Thank you for nominating this article. No disamb. links or invalid external links.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   " the route passes over the rail line just east of the county line" - at grade or bridge?

   "Now in the town of Dix" - drop the "Now"

   Done.Mitch32^{(Erie Railroad Information Hog)} 19:19, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

   "where it merges with NY 14 at its foot"->"where it merges with NY 14 at the foot of the hill."

   Done.Mitch32^{(Erie Railroad Information Hog)} 19:19, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   The route description is uneven in its use of local street and road names. Can you add more road names? For example, North of US 20, it is called Mound Road. North of Magee it is called Ridge Road. In Glascow, New York, it is named Mill Street and Glascow Street. It is Main Street in Rose, New York.

   I would describe the end point of 414 as being "near the tip of Sodus Bay."

   Not really necessary.Mitch32^{(Erie Railroad Information Hog)} 19:20, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

   Lake Ontario is very big. The tip of Sodus Bay more accurately describes the northern terminus. Racepacket (talk) 21:53, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

   Was done.Mitch32^{(Erie Railroad Information Hog)} 19:54, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

   Is there any major construction planned?

   One, the Waterloo Bypass, will let TMF handle it.Mitch32^{(Erie Railroad Information Hog)} 19:19, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

   As far as I can tell, that bypass is slated to head southwestward from the River Road Connector to a point on NY 96 in Fayette, meaning it's only tangentially related to NY 414. I wouldn't call it related to NY 96 either - if the road is built, I highly doubt either route would be realigned to use it. Rerouting NY 96 would require taking over North Road, and rerouting NY 414 would require the state to either give the Romulus-Seneca Falls highway a new number or turn it over to the county. – TMF 11:33, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

   It will affect traffic load and will have impacts during the construction period, so it is worth noting in the article. Racepacket (talk) 11:49, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   No edit wars.

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   Thank you for your maps and photos.

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

• Fixed to some degree, a couple things TwinsMetsFan can handle. I am doing this for him because I have been lazy with helping him.Mitch32^{(Erie Railroad Information Hog)} 19:19, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, we're waiting on your decision to pass or not.Mitch32^{(Erie Railroad Information Hog)} 02:21, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am waiting on TwinsMetsFan, who has not edited since March 4. Racepacket (talk) 06:55, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On what? I finished the rest of the stuff on the review. He already emailed me a few days ago saying he won't be very active the next few weeks.Mitch32^{(Erie Railroad Information Hog)} 10:59, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for explaining that. I hope he is well and wish him a speedy return. Your treatment of the Waterloo Bypass is appropriate in view of the time horzion and funding challenges of New York State. My congratulations to both of you on a Good Article. Racepacket (talk) 14:04, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the bypass mention for two reasons. The first, again, is that the bypass is hardly related to NY 414 - if it's related to any existing highway in the area, it's related to NY 96. It's called the "Waterloo Bypass" because it bypasses the village of Waterloo - which NY 96 enters, not NY 414. The second is that the way it was worded implies that the bypass will become part of NY 414 upon completion. Not only is that OR, it's highly unlikely for the reasons stated above. – TMF 15:55, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
