  • Not sure how useful that map in the infobox is if you're not clear on where Denver is.
I agree, but not sure how to change it. this is the type of map that U.S. Roads WikiProject wants.
  • "changes time zones not once, but twice, during" see above.

  • In fact, this part of the description normally comes after the route itself.
I agree but not sure what type of subheader to add because I dont want readers to think its part of the "Sherman and Cheyenne counties" section.? -420Traveler (talk) 18:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "about .5 miles" leading zeros throughout.

  • "Realignments" this section is pretty repetitive prose-wise, "resolution" appears almost 20 times in two paras.... it's almost like it's a candidate for a table...
Should be fixed now. -420Traveler (talk) 21:17, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's it, on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:23, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Got mostly everything fixed, just have a few questions. -420Traveler (talk) 21:17, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I still think the map is not helpful really, but understand that it may be the "style" of the project. I'm okay with the structure, there are still overlinks (Goodland, Sherman County) but they seem to be templated that way, which is a shame too. But the rest is satisfactory.
