(

  • ... that Interstate 59 only has three exits in the U.S. state of Georgia?
  • Reviewed:
  • Comment: Even though the source shows a blank site, simply click the drop-down menu below and select "Interstate 59" from there. It should display the exits the Interstate has.

  • Kind of dull as is, especially since the much shorter Louisiana segment also only has three exits. How about ...
    • ALT1: ... that there are only three exits along the 20 miles (32 km) of Interstate 59 in Georgia? Daniel Case (talk) 21:49, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
      • You mean 33 km? Because there's only 20 miles (32 km) of I-59 in Georgia. I assume you might have made a typo there. I can definitely accept that, though. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 21:52, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
        •  Fixed You are correct ... I confused the km and miles. Daniel Case (talk) 04:42, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
  • To be honest, I don't think this angle is working out. The hook seems rather specialist, requiring knowledge and familiarity with how highway systems work, which most readers won't have. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:47, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
    • Yeah, I'm actually not sure what to say, since that's the only interesting hook I could come up with. I-59 in Georgia is pretty rural and I had to try and scrape together as much information as I could from older newspapers dating back to the 1960s and 70s. It depends.

If that's the case then it might be for the best to let this one go. Unfortunately not all articles are meant for DYK and this could be one of those. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:01, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
I don't know if this is a good idea, but in my opinion, I think this review should get the feedback of another reviewer. At least that's based on my thoughts. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 00:31, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Something you could mention is that only one of the three interchanges is with a state-maintained road. It is somewhat unusual in this part of the country for a majority of an Interstate's exits to be with local roads. Bneu2013 (talk) 05:46, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
Also skeptical of that angle. It might not be as understood by readers outside of the United States, or indeed even many within the US, given it would require familiarity with how highways work. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:39, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
  • @Z1720: Hmmm... I'm still not sure yet. I think this can be withdrawn, since not a lot of coverage is available for I-59 in Georgia. It seems to be in the shadow of other Interstate Highways like I-20 and I-75, which are both much longer and more DYK worthy. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 16:16, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
