Kansas Turnpike

I have been working on this article on and off for about a year, helped along by SPUI, and finally feel that it is ready to become a featured article.—Scott5114↗ 07:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - I think near the middle of the page, there are too many green Exit signs. I think one or two would be fine, but it seems to jumble up the prose of the article too much. Also, there's several redlinks in the article that distract from the rest. Overall, it's well written and the references are good, but I think some of these concerns need to be addressed before it goes all the way. Anthony Hit me up... 13:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Okay, the green exit signs have been removed. That was one of the few things I felt uneasy about, but now it's been taken care of. —Scott5114↗ 19:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose, refs should have consistent format, web refs should have retrieval dates, like ref7.Rlevse 18:20, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Should be fixed: refs have all been converted to {{cite web}} and {{cite news}}, and retrieval dates added. —Scott5114↗ 21:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
• Comment There's way too many red links. You should take off the the non-notable ones which I think is most of them. Warhol13 02:19, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • I've removed the ones that probably won't have an article in the foreseeable future, and probably shouldn't. I kept the Kansas state highway ones linked because they should have an article, and traffic study is still linked because it seems like a subject that could be worthy of an article.—Scott5114↗ 07:32, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
