Your GA nomination of Pennsylvania Route 332

The article Pennsylvania Route 332 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Pennsylvania Route 332 for things which need to be addressed.

I would support sending this to GAR, or starting a discussion at WT:GAN about this reviewer. We can get DE 36 reassessed, no problem, but I don't want to encourage this user to do poor-quality reviews all over GAN. --Rschen7754 00:28, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

I believe the article should have some form of map at least linked for it to pass GA. If you can add an external link to google maps showing the route temporarily until you can get the KML ones I'll pass them. I really think though it should be compulsory for all road articles on wikipedia to have a consistent route map. It should be easier and anybody able to make them.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:18, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

KMLs

Just a suggestion, but since the {{Attached KML}} template generates links to external websites, it really belongs in the External links section, not in the See also section. Also, you might want to add |display=inline,title to the transclusions to add the links up in the title area; the reason that they don't appear as the default is to avoid conflicts with {{coord}}.

Speedy deletion nomination of U.S. Route 73 in Iowa

• Please explain. It's listed as a hoax right now, and apparently that highway doesn't run through Iowa, but I'd hate to put "hoax" on the resume of a longtime contributor. Drmies (talk) 03:58, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
  • I had created the redirect to rid the redlinks at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/U.S. Routes/Completion list/1-101 without knowing the highway had never entered the state. Now that I know it doesn't, I advocate the deletion of the redirect. Dough4872 04:01, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
    • OK, since you said that, could you change it to author requested (G7)? –Fredddie™ 04:03, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Names inside infobox

Hey. How come New Jersey Route 42, U.S. Route 30 in New Jersey, and several other pages contain local names inside the infobox but New Jersey Route 168 cannot? That's a bit contradictory. Tinton5 (talk) 23:00, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Does that highway have a single alternate name? If not, we don't list any. Imzadi 1979 → 23:10, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

NJ Route 42 has 2 names inside there, like NJ 168 did. So, I don't get it. Consistency people! Tinton5 (talk) 23:26, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

The two names have been removed from the NJ 42 infobox. Dough4872 23:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)(edit conflict) Let me rephrase slightly, is the totality of the highway named? For instance, all of M-6 is both the Paul B. Henry Freeway and the South Beltline Freeway, so both names are listed. I-75 has separate segments named the Detroit–Toledo Freeway, Fisher Freeway, Chrysler Freeway, American Legion Freeway, G. Mennon Williams Freeway and Prentis M. Brown Freeway, for six names, none of which then belong in the infobox. Now, if a third alternate name were applied to the totality of M-6, I'd drop them all from the infobox. Imzadi 1979 → 23:38, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
