This article is a very promising GA nominee. I'm delighted to see your work here. I'm putting the article on hold. All the best! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 01:43, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

That may be tought to do in this instance. Like it says, there were two separate highways with the number, both of which have their endpoint mentioned. Do you think I should mention the more recent incarnation in the lede sentence and then mention the older route after? - Floydian ^τ _¢ 23:31, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

A tough question for me to answer too. I think we should mention the latest answer to "What?" in the first sentence. Then the rest should follow as it is. At present, we need to read till the end to get a jist of it's "definition". But you have the most comprehensive knowledge of the article scope. So feel free to tweak the lede as you like, as long as it's clear and to the point. Update me when you're done. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 02:09, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Ok. Took a complete rewrite of the lede, but should be good to go. Cheers, Floydian ^τ _¢ 23:21, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Perfect.--Seabuckthorn ♥ 23:53, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

OK, everything looks good now. Passing the article to GA status. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 23:53, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
