Comments

Lead

"and the eastern terminus" would probably be better suited as "and its eastern terminus" but if you think I'm wrong feel free to say so.

I agree

Fixed

You stylize the first mention of a U.S. route as (US 54) but every instance later is US-54 or US-56. Is that on purpose?

Oops

Fixed

"the highway travels through flat farmland and a two-lane road its entire length." Some sort of preposition like "it is a two-lane road" seems needed here.

Not sure how to change this?

Route description

By in large I think it is good. The main comment I have is where it says "the school" in Fowler. It looks like it passes multiple schools, a grade school and high school simultaneously. I was originally going to say it would be nice if it was more specific but at the least I think it needs to be plural.

Fixed

"K-98 then reaches its eastern terminus at US 54." No dash in the US-54. Also, an actual or approximate length between the two would be nice.

Fixed

"On K-98 in 2020" Not sure that "On K-98" is needed, as you've already established we're talking about K-98.

I think it needs to be added because of the sentence prior, a reader wouldn't know what highway.

History

Theres a weird ": 12" next to citation 16. Other than that, I don't see anything right away.

The 12 is the page number that has the content in the reference. The reference is multi-paged so it has that so the info can be found quickly.

Major intersections

No issues.

@420Traveler: Here's my thoughts at first glance, let me know if you have any questions.--Ncchild (talk) 04:16, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ncchild: HI sorry for delay, I will get to it soon. Just been really busy working. -420Traveler (talk) 11:06, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ncchild: hey, fixed most things and have a few questions on others. Let me know, sorry for long delay. -420Traveler (talk) 18:33, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@420Traveler: Hey, I'm really sorry about the delay as well, I've been moving and starting law school. Let me look over everything now and I'll get back to you. Ncchild (talk) 15:49, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@420Traveler I only see one thing, and it's picky so apologies about that. The second, third, and fourth sentences all start with "the" which gets a bit repetitive. If one could be changed (preferably the third sentence) to start a different way, I think it would flow better. Other than that, it looks good to me!

@Ncchild: No problem, I agree. I think I got the one you mentioned. -420Traveler (talk) 16:18, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@420Traveler Cool, I'm good with it now, so I'll go ahead and pass it. Ncchild (talk) 16:26, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
