I've reviewed a few of these, and they're relatively quick to do, so I'll go ahead and do a few more. Comments to come in the next day or so. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 04:57, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

I've left comments about my concerns below, so I'll place this on hold for you to address them. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 16:33, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

@PCN02WPS: Everything should be fixed now, let me know if I missed anything -420Traveler (talk) 22:17, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Looks good to me, happy to pass! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:27, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Lead/infobox

• Looks like it'd make more sense to have the citation for "1927-present" after "present" rather than after "1927"

I'm not able to add a reference for present, but the reference here refers to the establishment date. -420Traveler (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Good point. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:21, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

• "U.S. Highway 81" → The page title references "U.S. Route 81", should this be changed here?

• "Before state highways were numbered in Kansas there were auto trails." → comma after "Kansas"

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

• Even though it's linked in the infobox, you could probably link Kansas Department of Transportation

 Fixed I agree -420Traveler (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

• "Then by 1928,..." → comma after "Then"

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Route description

• "The highway continues north to an at-grade crossing with a BNSF Railway track then reaches an intersection with US-160." → add a comma after "track", and perhaps change to "and then".

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

• Link the first mention of "at-grade crossing" to Intersection (road)#At grade railways

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

• "The highway continues north, crossing Slate Creek, before crossing into Sedgwick County." → a bit repetitive (emphasis is mine), consider rewording to eliminate one instance of "crossing"

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

• "K-49 soon enters Viola as Grice Street. The highway soon exits the city..." → "soon" sounds like future tense and sounds a bit out of place to me

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

History

• "The southern terminus..." → specify that this is the southern terminus of K-49, rather than the southern terminus of the auto trail system as a whole

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

• "Then zig-zagged northeastward from there to Wichita." → sentence fragment

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 22:15, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

• "In a resolution approved on December 10, 1957 resolution, the overlap..." → remove bolded word but keep the comma after "December 10, 1957," per MOS:DATECOMMA
