Wikipedia:Peer review/Texas State Highway 195/archive1
I'm new to Wikipedia and I was wondering how my article on Highway 195 could be improved or otherwise cleaned up. I was also wondering if there was a project regarding Texas state highways out there. Thank you for your consideration. Reav67 07:47, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
- Currently Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways does not have a child project dealing with Texas, though there is nothing to stop you from setting one up and seeing how much interest there is. Wikipedia:WikiProject Texas is a related project. Although the article itself is still relatively small (in fact Peer review is generally used to look at articles a lot bigger) it could already benefit with being split up into sections such as "Introduction", "History" and "Current construction". Good luck with the page and welcome to Wikipedia. CheekyMonkey 14:52, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
- First of all, write the article so that somebody outside of Texas or the US can understand and follow it. A map of the road, showing where Killeen, Georgetown, and the other roads you mention are and their relationship to one another will help orient the reader. When was the highway originally constructed? When was it originally designated a highway? Why was it built (for what purpose)? Has its dominant purpose changed over time? Are there any references to this "Highway of Death" designation or the claim that 21 died on it? There are no traffic counts? What about technical details? How wide is the right-of-way (ie. easement)? What is the highway made of? and what is it patched with? Try contacting your department of transportation or whatever dept builds the highways in Texas for info. --maclean25 20:37, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
