I will review this article immediately. TCN7JM 00:11, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have the following concerns:

  1. You should modify the conversion template to read "17.263-mile-long" by having it read {{convert|17.263|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}}.

  2. Try to cut down starting so many sentences in the lead with "K-232".
     Done Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 16:46, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Regarding the first sentence in the history, I don't think it's referred to that often as "Route K-232".
     Done Sorry about that...that was someone else's doing while it was on the main page. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 16:46, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Is it possible to reword the first sentence so that it reads "between Interstate 70 and what was then U.S. Route 40" or something? I think this would be better for flow, despite the current name of the road being "Old U.S. 40".
    I'd rather not, but if you insist I will. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 17:33, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    It's okay as-is, I guess. TCN7JM 11:41, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Was the route paved when it was designated? If not, when?
    I can't find this information, but knowing Kansas it's highly likely that it was. I just don't think there will be any sources out there to say. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 17:33, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Looking at the first map that had K-232 on it is usually enough. I tried to check the map myself, but my browser won't open the file for some reason. TCN7JM 11:41, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
     Done Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 12:21, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  6. "K-18/K-232 highway" doesn't sound common either.
    Discussed this on IRC. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 12:21, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  7. You start both paragraphs of the route description with "K-232" and that does look overused within those paragraphs. You should try to switch up the nouns a bit.
     Done Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 12:21, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  8. You should use {{convert/spell}} for the single-digit mileages near the end of the second paragraph.

I will put this article on hold to fix these concerns. TCN7JM 00:49, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, all of my concerns seem to have been addressed. I will pass this article. Good job. TCN7JM 12:29, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
