Talk:Maryland Route 55

GAN
Since I originally created the article and it would be considered a conflict of interest for me to review the GA nomination, I'm just going to list a couple things here that I think should be addressed before the article is considered for promotion. Overall, I think this article requires a bit more research before it can be promoted to GA status. - Algorerhythms (talk) 02:00, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * More detail than is necessary is included in the route description (e.g. the power lines probably aren't all that important).
 * There are some potentially notable landmarks along the road that aren't mentioned at all and have historical importance in the area, such as the Vale Summit church and the old Clarysville Inn.
 * This is a minor detail, but I'm originally from this area, and other than Google Maps, I've never heard of Loartown being referred to as Loarville. Just to check, I tried searching the local newspaper for the names Loartown and Loarville. Loartown gives several results, but Loarville gives none. It's possible that the USGS or some other reliable source disagrees with me, but I think Google Maps shouldn't be trusted.
 * The history section is somewhat lacking, considering it only mentions the few realignments that can be found using the MDSHA maps available on the Internet. A bit more research may help make this section better. One book that may be very helpful is "Glorious Old Pompey Smash" by Harold Scott. My parents had a copy of it, but I haven't been able to find one here - the nearest library that has it is over 1000 miles away from where I currently live. That book has a very extensive history of the area, including maps that show the realignments of Vale Summit Road. There are several events in the history of Vale Summit that would make the history section more interesting if included, such as the coal mine fire that burned through part of the seam under Vale Summit.
 * I have addressed the first three points. As for the fourth point, I do not have access to the suggested books and cannot find any relevant history on Google at the current time. If I find anything, I will add it to the article. Dough4872 (talk) 16:37, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
