List of state highways in Marquette County, Michigan[edit]

A new list I recently created. I believe it meets all the FL criteria, but I welcome any constructive critiques, suggestions and improvements. Imzadi1979 (talk) 02:41, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • business loop disambiguates to the wrong article
    • "forming a major artery for Michigan and even Canadian traffic.." - theres an extra full stop before the reference
    • "There have been at least eight state trunkline highways in Marquette County" - at least? Is there not a definite answer to this?
    • "across the UP crosses Marquette County as well." - I know what the UP is but you have not defined this abbreviation yet in the article.
    • Year Created - This is fine if there were to just be one date in the field, but in the former routes, this is not mentioned. Maybe rename this column to "Years active" and then add –current or something to the active routes
    • decommissioned should be avoided, replace it with former.
    • Delink Michigan Department of Transportation in ref 2 please.
    • The table header mentions towns, but the table says municipalities, pick one and stick with it please.
      • I've redirected business loop to Business route which is a much better redirect for it anyway. Stray period removed. The ambiguity over number arises from the fact that there have been two trunklines in the county have that have been renumbered to their current numbers (M-15 -> US 41, M-45 -> M-95) and the fact that "state trunkline" includes US highways, leaving no official term for a trunkline that isn't a US Highway or an Interstate. I'll clear that up as best as I can. I should have cleared up the other issues as well. Ref 2 does not link directly to MDOT, but uses the name of a predecessor agency. In other FACs I've done, MSHD has bee pipe-tricked to the MDOT article on first mention and not linked after that. This was done here to maintain consistency with the practice in the linked articles.

Quick comment - can you make the space between the n and the number for the notes nonbreaking? The Rambling Man (talk) 17:37, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't. It's the way that the <ref group="n" name="cn"/> code makes it. This is the first time I've used the notes function, so if you have suggestions, I'm all ears. Imzadi1979 (talk) 19:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 12:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
