Merging Berry Road

The article for Berry Road should be merged into MD 228 because it is short and it basically describes the same road. Dough4872 (talk) 17:07, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merged - Berry Road is a redirect now. I thought the "Berry" name applied only to the Charles portion, but I re-checked the PG 2006 HLR and noticed they list the name there too. Kumba42 (talk) 21:41, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pass/Fail:
I will put the article on hold for the few prose issues I have.

What project? (lead)
- I rewrote the last two sentences of the Lead to remove the ambiguity. V C 03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The description of lanes in the route description is pretty confusing. I don't have many suggestions for rewording, but I suggest that you reword it somehow.
- Can you be more specific about what confuses you? V C 03:44, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Never mind that. I read it over again and again and can't find any better way to say it. The article is a pass. --P C B 04:16, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are several overlinking instances, such as the continuous-flow interchange and MD 210.
- Both items are linked twice: once in the prose and once in the caption of the photo, which is MOS-compliant. V C 03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could you specify what Piney Branch is?
- I added a clause that Piney Branch is a tributary of Mattawoman Creek. V C 03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's a repeating pattern in the first paragraph of the history. "A BLA was BLAHed to/in BLAH in YEAR." Maybe you should mix this up a little.
- There is sufficient variety in how I phrase the content of that paragraph. It is not like I am using the same words in every sentence. V C 03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could you get a little more information about 228A? History if possible? Maybe a little more about the route?--P C B 01:50, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I have a general idea of when MD 228A was built or assigned, but I am unable to support it with concrete sources. The road is a very short state-maintained section of a county highway that is not notable. V C 03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
