DYK

@Narutolovehinata5: Here's an improved hook:

ALT1: ... that Magnolia Way opened in 2009 to serve a manufacturing facility that opened two years later? Sources: Daily Journal and The Clarion-Ledger

It is probably the most interesting fact from the road itself, so it is unlikely there will be a better alternative than the one proposed above. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 04:49, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

I'm not really sure if this works either. I'll come back to this nomination in a few days with a fresh mind to see if it's interesting to a broad audience. That or I could as for a second opinion. Pinging original reviewer Zigzig20s. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 10:34, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

ALT2: ... that while Magnolia Way is officially designated as Mississippi Highway 780, the road offers no reassurance that drivers are in the right place? Yoninah (talk) 00:56, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

I will be fine with whichever one above. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 03:21, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Review needed, once again. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 05:46, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

User:Nova Crystallis: Is it the new hook you want me to review? If so, could you please add a reference at the end?Zigzig20s (talk) 06:23, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

@Zigzig20s: Google maps for ALT2. You can review ALT1 and ALT2 and see what you like best. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 06:33, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

User:Nova Crystallis: I don't understand ALT2.Zigzig20s (talk) 07:35, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

@Zigzig20s: So basically, although the road is designated as Mississippi Highway 780, none of the signs on the road show it as that, but as Magnolia Way. I hope that makes it a bit easier to understand. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 04:43, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

I guess ALT2 might work, but if I was confused, our readers are bound to be too. Maybe use "road signs" instead?Zigzig20s (talk) 04:46, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

@Zigzig20s: I think using that phrase would be a bit too simple, considering there is a link to the reassurance marker article. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 04:53, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

@Zigzig20s: the hook is meant to be humorous and "hooky". And, as Nova Crystallis pointed out, the word "reassurance" is linked to the real meaning of the word. Writing "road signs" would be incorrect, as there are road signs; they just don't say the road number. Yoninah (talk) 13:02, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

I guess it's fine.Zigzig20s (talk) 17:58, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

@Nova Crystallis: the only question I have about ALT2 is where does information appear in the source, which is a Google map? Yoninah (talk) 19:30, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

@Yoninah: The information appears inside Google Street View inside the site, where the signs are located near the two termini of the road. I know it is not the most reliable source it could rely on, but most road articles use the site as a backbone for descriptions. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 19:42, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

• OK, based on the images, these do not look like reassurance markers, which are in the shape of a shield and are inscribed with the highway number. Zigzig20s could you please add a tick for ALT2? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:50, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

• I'll take this one. Courcelles (talk) 00:15, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

• "also known as" If it is unsigned, it really isn't 'also known" by the designation, perhaps just say "officially designated"?
  • Done? Nova Crystallis (Talk) 20:55, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
• Clarify somehow that I-22 and US 78 are the same road here.
  • Done. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 20:55, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
• "announced its plans build a manufacturing" plans to build
  • Oops. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 20:55, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
• "The manufacturing plant produced its first Toyota Corolla in November 2011,[9] after an economic downturn caused construction to cease from 2008 to 2010.[10]" I think it could be argued that the exact model of car that was first off the line is excessive detail...
  • Fixed.
• Ref 6 does not prove the highway is unsigned.
  • Used Google Street View, which was allowed for DYK too. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 20:55, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
    • What you've proven is that there are no MS 780 signs at the termini, which is what you should state, instead of saying there are none at all on the road, which is a much harder ask to prove. Courcelles (talk) 21:06, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
      • Fixed again. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 21:50, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
• Just not much wrong here. Courcelles (talk) 00:30, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
  • @Courcelles: Fixed everything, thanks for the review. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 20:55, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

• Promoted. Courcelles (talk) 22:17, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
