Sea Routes are the parts of sea shores which have following qualities : 1. They should have the loading capability. 2. They should have trading type all facilities.
Expansion
I have expanded the article and written a new intro. However what bothers me is that this article in particular followed a format of a definition and the a List of the trade routes. Don't get me wrong, a list is important and interesting for any reader but this article is not about a list of trade routes but about trade routes and their history and impact in development of civilizations etc.
I'll try to write a short, soured passage about the importance of trade routes to various civilizations and the political and cultural impact of these routes. Also will try and check for typos and phrasing once I recover from the current phase of fatigue due to the recent edits.

- OK I couldn't keep away. I have created a section named "Strategic significance of trade routes" and plan to expand it and then place it accordingly once I get the citations for strategic importance during ancient times (right now we have Tiglath-Pileser III etc. but not enough). I also plan to create and expand another section called "Cultural significance of trade routes" which would deal with the cultural aspects. Then we can actually have a intro, a cultural section, strategy section and put the list of trade routes below them (every section in the list already has a separate article for it; this list here is essentially a summation for someone who doesn't like the details and should be treated as such).
- Sorry for the long, rambling post; I'm just tired. Havelock the Dane 22:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- Done, I have created a "Significance of trade routes" section with two subsections (cultural and strategic). I wanted to create a "Material" subsection but that's already covered in the main articles and we would just be repeating that information.Havelock the Dane 15:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Passed GA nomination
You've clearly completed all the work, and honestly I'm amazed that you did the job you did in less than a week's time (when comparing to most holds). I completely admit that in consideration of your dedication to the article, I should have just held this one. So my apologies, and congrats! VanTucky Talk 00:19, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

northern arc
This page links to the northern arc page which no longer seems to exist and searches for it are redirected to Varangians to the Greeks Guive37 (talk) 05:45, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Maritime / Inland
Shoulndt both these topics have their own section each? As it is Inland canals are part of the Maritime section but the feeling I get is that it was just pasted there, It seems out of place.
PS. Nice job on the article Havelock, its quite good. I'm sure that after a few tweakshttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Trade_route&action=edit# it can be renominated and achieve FA status. RIP-Acer (talk) 12:55, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
