File:Washington State Route 28.svg
- The uploader is an active user, you can get rid of all of the assumptions on the page.
- What's up with the blue lines?
  - Map has been replaced with an interactive version. For future reference, the blue lines are Interstates and freeways, as laid out in WP:USRD/MTF's color standards.
    - I think the new version is great. Thanks! Kees08 (Talk)
File:WA-28.svg
- The description says 24x24 inches, but the source page says 20x22 inches is the size in that range. I do not see any option for a square sign. Am I missing something?
  - The source lists 24" as the dimensions of the whole shield, rather than the silhouette, which I assume is the 20x22" figure. I'd have to ask the shield maker for clarification.
    - Yup I read it wrong. Thanks! Kees08 (Talk)
File:Wenatchee and Columbia river - Flickr - brewbooks.jpg
- Weird file name, probably don't need to move it.
- What does "12q3 290" mean in the description?
  - It was carried over from the Flickr description. Not sure what it means.
    - Can you remove it then? And what does BNSF stand for? Kees08 (Talk)
      - Commons description has been re-written. For future reference, BNSF is the railroad name and stands for Burlington Northern Santa Fe (but it's officially known as BNSF now). Sounder Bruce 03:30, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All license information and captions seem fine with the images.

- Date does not match up with article, does it have to do with online vs print?
  - This article was used to cite the existence of data centers, which is cross-referenced with the Google Maps citation for their location in relation to the town. I'd be happy to swap it out with a local source.

Sources are reliable, spot checked some of the information in the article and it matches the sources. Kees08 (Talk) 20:58, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Prose

"1.000 mi = 1.609 km; 1.000 km = 0.621 mi"
- Why is this in the table? Both mi and km are included as columns.
  - @Kees08: It's part of the agreed standard at MOS:RJL and I believe it's there to back up the two columns and their respective values. Sounder Bruce 22:37, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - I would love an RfC for this in the future, because having the conversion factors in there looks dumb when both columns already exist. Not your problem, if I get passionate about roads I may try to do one. Kees08 (Talk) 03:28, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have for prose and MOS. Kees08 (Talk) 21:08, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
