Some avenues to improve this article
I hope these suggestions help.  Imzadi  1979   →  00:57, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Remove the bannered routes. Put them in a Bannered routes of Arkansas Highway 1 list. They dominate this article too much. Leave behind a summary section with a paragraph that briefly summarizes the different bannered routes. As "bannered route" is a bit of a neologism, you could use Business routes of Arkansas Highway 1 as the title of the article, and "Business routes" as the summary section header. A brief mention that one is called a "spur" route in the paragraph here and the lead paragraph in the other article will resolve that discrepancy. ✅
 * 2) Merge the two infoboxes together. infobox road supports up to 4 sections of a highway. You can list a length for each segment as well as one for the whole highway. ✅
 * 3) I'd even merge the two junction lists, using a colspan to mark the gap between the two segments. ✅
 * 4) If I can be a tad blunt: "Segment 1" and "Segment 2" are clunky-sounding names. How about "Southern segment" and "Northern segment"? ✅
 * 5) You can even merge the RDs together if desired by using "McGehee–Jonesboro" as one subheading and "Clay County" as the second. If so, then I'd use the Southern/northern segment names as subsections of the history. ✅


 * This article is my attempt to standardize AR. I think that AR is in awful shape, but I have found some great resources and I am now ready to clean it up. I used "Segment 1" because on articles such as Arkansas Highway 74, north and south couldn't be used. I know it's not the best solution, but I don't know what should be used that could apply in all situations. I also have avoided using the word "section" because it has an actual meaning in "AHTD language" that could be confusing to readers. I really want to make this article a showcase for the rest of the state, and am willing to improve it before moving on in AR. Any input is welcome, I really think that getting some standards in place would help AR significantly, and possibly attract some other editors. I am especially open to doing anything that would attract folks from other states.  Brandonrush   Woooooooo pig sooie  01:26, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That's fine, but when you have a better option than Segment 1 and Segment 2, use it. In casual conversation, I will use section, segment and even portion interchangeably, but that does not mean when there are specific meanings I will use all three. Just as we should use common names for article titles, we should use natural language in our writing, unless there's a good reason to use a technical name.

B class
I am wondering if a willing editor could help me in my effort to make this a B-class article by checking against the criteria for B-Class status. What else does it need? Thanks.  Brandonrush   Wooooo pig sooie  17:22, 19 April 2011 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.184.160.174 (talk)
