Reviewer: Newyorkadam (talk · contribs) 19:14, 18 January 2014 (UTC) I will be taking this review :) -Newyorkadam (talk) 19:14, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam
Quick-glance comments:
- As always, if you can find a picture of this route, please add one.
- Has a 'Route description' section
- Has a 'History' section
- Has a 'Major intersections' section
Comments:
- I suggest changing 'Then, it continues east' to 'It then continues east'.
- Done.—– 22:28, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- I suggest removing the comma here. "All of Route 246 is a two-lane, undivided highway."
- Done.—– 22:13, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- I suggest removing the comma here. "It starts at Route 148 as McPherson Street in Hopkins, and heads eastward."
- Done.—– 22:13, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- I suggest removing the comma here. "The road soon leaves Hopkins, and enters widespread farmlands."
- Done.—– 22:13, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- Please wikilink 'Worth County'
- Done.—– 22:13, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- Do you think 'toward' sounds better than 'to' here? I'm not sure. "Near Sheridan, Route 246 shifts slightly north, and continues east to the center of the village."
- Yep.—– 22:13, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- I suggest adding a comma after 'terminus' here. "Route 246 intersects the southern terminus Route H, and leaves Sheridan."
- I added "of" instead, forgot to add it. :P —– 22:13, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- This sentence is pretty confusing. Was it extended in 1926 or 1933? I suggest either clarifying or breaking this sentence off into two sentences. "In 1926, Route 46 was extended to Sheridan, and was extended south, two miles east of Sheridan in 1933."
- Added "later".—– 22:23, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- You wikilink spur route in the 'History' section but not in the lede. I suggest moving the wikilink to the lede section.
- Done.—– 22:23, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- Please wikilink 'Nodaway County'
- Done.—– 22:23, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- I suggest changing "around 1948-1949" to "in either 1948 or 1949". "The spur route was then extended west into Nodaway county around 1948–1949"
- Nah, it's fine the way it is.—– 22:23, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- 'By next year'? Is it 1954 right now and I'm looking in the future? :) "In 1954, Route 246 was designated, starting from Sheridan, and ending at Route 46.[8] By next year, Route 246 completely replaced supplemental route D"
- Fixed.—– 22:23, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- I don't really understand this... It starts in Sheridan but also ends near Sheridan? Where does Route 148 in Hopkins (the West end) come in? "In 1954, Route 246 was designated, starting from Sheridan, and ending at Route 46."
- Slight clarification.—– 22:23, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- A map and/or picture would be nice :D
- It'll get one eventually.—– 22:13, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
That's it for now :) Looks good so far! -Newyorkadam (talk) 15:48, 21 January 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam
- I spoke to you about s'more comments on IRC.
