Merge[edit]

This one seems like a bad merge; Conduit Boulevard is a major road in NYC and is not all NY 27. --NE2 08:08, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely correct.Dogru144 (talk) 00:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The merge proposal - the discussion of which should have been on NY 27's talk page, since that's where the link in the merge box went - has already been closed as no merge... – T M F 12:12, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's not where the link in the merge box went. --NE2 18:54, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Heh, point taken. That's a bad job by whoever tagged it then, but it's all water under the bridge. – T M F 20:04, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Conduit under the boulevard? --NE2 20:40, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

Shouldn't this article be named Conduit Avenue because most of the length of the road is in Queens? - SkipperRipper (talk) 03:00, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What is the significance of having "Conduit Highway" bolded in the lead?
"...as part of the construction of Belt Parkway." --> "as part of the construction of the Belt Parkway."
In the first section in the "Etymology" section, link to the Brooklyn Waterworks article.
The entire "Etymology" doesn't flow well. The name of the conduit should be mentioned first, instead of "...for the conduit of the Brooklyn Water Works". Also, "the roads were constructed on the former right-of-way of the aqueduct" should be its own sentence.
"Brooklyn and Ozone Park and Lindenwood in Queens" - One to many "ands".
"The aqueduct was located on the north side of what is now Conduit Avenue, and was built on a right-of-way yet to be developed" - Yet to be developed at the time or currently?
What is the significance of having "Conduit Highway" and "Pipe Line Boulevard" bolded in the "History" section.
"The project was completed around 1942..." - None of the references provided support this statement. The article that mentions the project would be completed in 1942 was published in 1941 so it was just an estimate at the time.
Please add the Subscription Required tag to references that need subscriptions.
Ref 6 needs to be formatted correctly and include an access date. Also, "nycroads" doesn't appear to be reliable at first glance. Have there been any discussions about this source in the past?
This is me just being picky but some of the references include links to the "The New York Times" wiki article while others don't. For consistency, either link to it all the time in the references or don't link at all.

Good work!--Dom497 (talk) 17:24, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dom497: Thanks for the review. I removed ref number 6 and made all the fixes you suggested above (though NY Times only requires subscription to five of the ten sources that are listed, and bklyn.newspapers.com is free). "Conduit Highway" and "Pipe Line Boulevard" redirect to this article, and so are bolded. epicgenius (talk) 17:57, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: Looks good! Pass!--Dom497 (talk) 20:00, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
