Upgrading article[edit]

I've put quite a bit of work into this article, and was wondering what can be done to upgrade it to guide level. Specifically, should any side trips be added? Given this is designed for cyclists, and this is rural Gippsland, any side trips require using roads, but what are your thoughts? --LivelyRatification (talk) 05:02, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'd add some side trips, and here's some other things to add:
  • Cafés along the way - with contact details at the bottom
  • Distances for each section
  • Surface
  • Speed Limit - if Victoria has speed limits on bike paths.
Apart from that, this is looking damn good. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | en.wikipedia) 07:55, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@LivelyRatification: Here are the criteria written on Wikivoyage:Itinerary status:
  • Describes each stop on the trail Yes Done
  • Describes how to get to each stop Yes Done
  • Suggests sights to see along the way
  • Suggests possible side-trips which could be taken
  • Has a custom pagebanner Yes Done
Feel free to use this comment as a checklist when the other things are added. 82.3.185.12 15:16, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Distances are listed in the prose, as well as surfaces. There isn't a speed limit, I don't think. I can add some cafes, but I think where possible readers should be directed to the main article. While I've been meaning to make a Heyfield article, there isn't much that could be added in, for example, Cowwarr and Glengarry. --LivelyRatification (talk) 02:52, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@LivelyRatification: - you can go ahead and turn it into a guide. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | en.wikipedia) 10:28, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Done! --LivelyRatification (talk) 10:56, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Good job. Hope it can one day be a star, although it is quite difficult to get a star itinerary - especially with bike paths. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | en.wikipedia) 11:12, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
