Talk:Colorado State Highway 112

Recent edits
I made a few recent edits concerning the references and lengths in the article. If the junction list gives the length to 3 decimal places, then the infobox and other usages should as well. There's no need to round some of the figures, but not all of them.

As for the references, I converted the map references to use cite map or bing maps instead of cite web. I added the  as needed. I found dates for the references that were missing, and harmonized all of the dates to the same format. I assume that the National Geographic map is on paper and not online, so an  parameter should not be used. Additionally, per the guidlines on overlinking, only one link, on first usage is needed to the Colorado Department of Transportation article. I removed the extras, and put the link on the first usage, and fixed all of the publisher references that weren't correct.

These are all issues that both the nominator and the reviewer should have caught and fixed when this was at GAN. Please keep this in mind for future, similar, nominations.  Imzadi  1979   →   02:42, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Some additional edits I just made:
 * Three consecutive sentences don't need three consecutive footnotes for the same reference. The extras were removed.
 * County lines should be indicated with an en dash, not a slash. Since Rio Grande County has a space in it, the "Rio Grande — Sagauche county line" should have a spaced en dash, per the MOS.
 * The common abbreviations should be introduced on first mention. In the case of the subject, the abbreviation is rendered in boldface inside parentheses. Others should be used on first usage, and the abbreviation used consistently afterwards. Previously, the only places that used the abbreviations were the infobox and junction list when the prose should have included them as well.


 * One suggestion: given the length of the article, the place names and highway names may not need to be linked in all three prose sections: lead, RD and history. Many highway articles do relink from section to section, but they are usually much longer in terms of text. My last suggestion is more of something optional, but many highway articles use the  infobox parameters. If the maintenance is added to the infobox, then somewhere in the article a mention of CDOT should be used, complete with the CDOT abbreviation in parentheses.
