 * Thank you. I will try and add any comments that I have if possible. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 19:27, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, if 2c isn't fixed shortly (like in two days), I am going to have to fail this nomination per WP:GAFAIL. Keres🌕Luna edits! 23:19, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Keresluna Hmmm, I'm looking at 2c, and I'm wondering which sections are uncited. Can you tell me which sections need to be improved? Thanks. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 23:26, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * For example, the whole subsection 'Durham to Virginia' and 'Related routes' are unreferenced. Keres🌕Luna edits! 23:27, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, there's not a lot of info on I-85 from Durham to Virginia (very little sources online). I can definitely fix the "Related routes" section, and probably fix the "Durham to Virginia" section as well. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 23:29, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Keresluna Yes check.svg Done . I've added sources in the "Related routes" section. I will try and find some for the "Durham to Virginia" section. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 23:49, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Keresluna Alright. I hunted around the web for any reliable sources, and found a lot to help finish the "Durham to Virginia" section by citing the unsourced claims. Yes check.svg Done . NoobThreePointOh (talk) 00:48, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Some more sections which are unrefernced:
 * 2nd paragraph of the section South Carolina to Charlotte
 * Last sentence of the first paragraph of Charlotte to Greensboro.
 * Last sentence of Durham to Virginia.
 * Keres🌕Luna edits! 17:08, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Keresluna Yes check.svg Done . NoobThreePointOh (talk) 17:34, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Keresluna Let me know if you're still there to finish up the review. Thanks. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 13:51, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Prose

 * 'Traffic from US 321 south prior to 2017' to 'Traffic from US 321 south before 2017', optional, but probably more flowing
 * 'A couple miles later, I-85 has an exit' to 'A couple of miles later, I-85 has an exit'
 * 'Here, I-85 turns more northward and enters' not sure why more is used here.
 * Capitalize mall in 'Concord Mills mall' and wikilink the whole phrase.
 * 'They do not enter Kannapolis, but have several exits signed for it.' remove the comma. Keres🌕Luna edits! 14:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Keresluna Yes check.svg Done . Here are the responses to each one.
 * 1. 'Traffic from US 321 south prior to 2017' to 'Traffic from US 321 south before 2017' is fine. I changed that.
 * 2. 'A couple miles later, I-85 has an exit' to 'A couple of miles later, I-85 has an exit'. Did that as well.
 * 3. For 'Here, I-85 turns more northward and enters', I-85 is mostly going in a northeast direction, and even occasionally in an east direction, but I made the change anyway since it's not much of a big deal.
 * 4. 'They do not enter Kannapolis, but have several exits signed for it.' Done with that. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 15:01, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Oop, and I wikilinked "mall" as well. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 15:02, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 'Because the previous exit is a northbound-only exit,' to 'Because the previous exit is northbound-only,', optional, but would be nice.
 * 'cross above the southbound lanes and return to normal direction.' to 'cross above the southbound lanes and return to the normal direction.'
 * 'continues to go through wooded forest with no development along' to 'continues to go through a wooded forest with no development along'
 * 'provided for 90-percent federal funding of highways that would become' not sure why there is a hyphen.
 * Remove all the way in 'Interstate eight lanes all the way to where I-40 turned'. Keres🌕Luna edits! 15:55, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done NoobThreePointOh (talk) 16:03, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Verifiability
Random ref checks:

4: Checks out.

27: Checks out.

39: Checks out. Keres🌕Luna edits! 16:01, 12 May 2024 (UTC)


 * 4: This one is an official NCDOT map for Cleveland County. The Interstate is a little hard to see on the map of the county, but NCDOT maps are usually reliable sources.
 * 27: This is also an NCDOT map for Granville County, but shows the bridges instead.
 * 39: Hendrick Motorsports is a reliable source, I think, and they have several news articles, so I think it counts. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 16:15, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
