I would love to review this article. –TCN7JM 22:18, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

  • "rural land between Ellsworth, Kansas and Salina, Kansas." You mentioned in the previous sentence that the highway was in Kansas, so adding the state after either city is redundant.

Route description

  • There are three instances in the first paragraph in which the citations are not in numeric order.
  • "Just after passing through Carneiro K-140..." This would read better with a comma.
  • "After traveling 1.001 miles (1.611 km) through the city of Brookville..." This seems too precise. Saying it's approximately one mile using {{convert/spell}} will suffice.
  • Refs. 1 and 2 seem to be a bit over-cited. You do not need a Google Maps citation after every sentence. One at the end of the paragraph is fine.
    • Red X Won't fix I cite after each sentence in which a source is used because I do not use the sources universally throughout paragraphs. I use ref 1 for some sentences, ref 2 for some sentences, and both for some sentences. Ks0stm (TCGE) 23:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Rural farmland" is redundant.
  • First sentence in the final paragraph seems like a WP:OVERLINK violation. I don't think either pavement or concrete needs to be linked.
  • The preciseness in the traffic info...just...seems way too technical. Is it necessary for you to have high/lows for every single piece of the highway with measurements down to the hundredth of a mile? It seems like overkill.

History

Major intersections

  • No outstanding errors.

    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.

    No edit wars, etc.:

    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    Inappropriate due to lack to images
  7. Overall: My concerns have been addressed. I feel this meets the Good Article criteria.
