Some highway article formatting tips

Some of this is covered at WP:USRD/STDS, the project standards page as well.

Please don't use |marker_image=Connecticut to insert the state name in place of a missing graphic. If you leave the graphic missing, someone will create it soon enough because the infobox will flag the article as missing that graphic.
It's a best practice to use {{convert}} to supply the metric conversion for lengths mentioned in the article.
Headings are written in sentence case per MOS:HEAD, so the heading should be "Route description" with a lower case "d".
Cardinal directions are not capitalized unless they're part of a proper name. "Route 2 South" isn't the correct way to refer to the direction of that highway carrying southbound traffic. Rather, "Route 2 southbound" would be best in running prose, "Route 2 south" in a junction list.
Since the infoboxes and {{jct}} drop the state name, and because it would be overly tedious/repetitious, you should pipe links to drop the state name from highway names. So [[Connecticut Route 2|Route 2]].
It's a best practice to link to the state detail subpage for each Interstate or US Highway rather than the national parent article. So link to U.S. Route 6 in Connecticut and pipe that on first usage to "U.S. Route 6" and the abbreviation on any subsequent uses. When you mention any U.S. Highway the first time and spell out its name, follow the link with the abbreviation in parentheses. After that, you can abbreviate all other U.S. Highways. (Mention US 44 first, no need to spell out US 6's full name.) The same goes for Interstates.
We don't repeat links to other articles too many times. It's acceptable to repeat them from the lead to the body, but unless the article is very long, we wouldn't repeat them in sections of the body. See WP:OVERLINK for details.
Don't add |keys=concur to the bottom of the junction list unless there is a concurrency. It's just wasted in that case.

I've made these changes here if you'd like to see them, and some others, in practice. Imzadi 1979 → 23:42, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Photo uploads

The various photos you uploaded of The Earth Tower come from copyright-protected sources. In short, they cannot be used here unless you can satisfy WP:NFCC. Since the building is currently open to the public, you cannot satisfy that policy's requirements because you, or someone else, can drive to the hotel and personally photograph it. The photos have been tagged for deletion on Commons, so please do not restore them to the article again. If you have any questions, please let me know.
