 * What project? (lead)
 * I rewrote the last two sentences of the Lead to remove the ambiguity.  V C  03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)


 * The description of lanes in the route description is pretty confusing. I don't have many suggestions for rewording, but I suggest that you reword it somehow.
 * Can you be more specific about what confuses you?  V C  03:44, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Never mind that. I read it over again and again and can't find any better way to say it. The article is a pass. -- P  C  B  04:16, 22 February 2011 (UTC)


 * There are several overlinking instances, such as the continuous-flow interchange and MD 210.
 * Both items are linked twice: once in the prose and once in the caption of the photo, which is MOS-compliant.  V C  03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Could you specify what Piney Branch is?
 * I added a clause that Piney Branch is a tributary of Mattawoman Creek.  V C  03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)


 * There's a repeating pattern in the first paragraph of the history. "A BLA was BLAHed to/in BLAH in YEAR." Maybe you should mix this up a little.
 * There is sufficient variety in how I phrase the content of that paragraph. It is not like I am using the same words in every sentence.  V  C  03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Could you get a little more information about 228A? History if possible? Maybe a little more about the route?-- P C  B  01:50, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I have a general idea of when MD 228A was built or assigned, but I am unable to support it with concrete sources. The road is a very short state-maintained section of a county highway that is not notable.  V  C  03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
