Maryland Route 36

 * Nominator(s): Algorerhythms (talk)

This is an A-class article at the U.S. Roads Wikiproject, and comments on how to improve it and hopefully make it a featured article would be useful. - Algorerhythms (talk) 23:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * It is marked north–south, and runs from the WV 46 bridge at Westernport to U.S. Route 40 Alternate near Cumberland. What? First you say it's marked from north to south, then you go on to say it starts in the south and ends in the north.
 * I'm not completely sure what to change here. The road is marked as a north/south route, and its termini are in Westernport and Cumberland. Could you clarify what is confusing about it?
 * The beginning of that sentence indicates the route travels north–south. But in the later part of that sentence, you describe the route from it's southern terminus to its western terminus, which contradicts that previous statement. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  13:16, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Is it better now? - Algorerhythms (talk) 16:29, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, although we encounter that same problem later in the article: After leaving Frostburg, MD 36 is known as Mount Savage Road, as it travels eastward, though the route remains marked north–south, toward Mount Savage. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  16:32, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've reworded that to: "as it travels eastward, perpendicular to its signed direction, toward Mount Savage." - Algorerhythms (talk) 16:38, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks good. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  16:46, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Near this interchange is God's Ark of Safety, a church famous for its attempt to build a replica of Noah's Ark. Needs a references, as I doubt the highway source covers that sentence.
 * Added a reference for this.
 * MD 36 is among the earliest of the Maryland state highways to be assigned a route number, having been assigned a route number at least as early as 1927. The last half of that sentence is worded poorly
 * I've reworded this sentence. - Algorerhythms (talk) 05:57, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:35, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Comments on images
 * Image:Maryland Route 36 map.png - The description of this map needs to indicate what the source for its information is and, ideally, needs to be in svg format. Awadewit (talk) 20:24, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added the information source data to the description of the image. - Algorerhythms (talk) 21:49, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Image issues addressed. Awadewit (talk) 21:47, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - the prose is of a very high quality. I made some minor rewords but nothing significant. All sources and images check out, too. —Giggy 10:59, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 *  Comments 
 * Can you cite "named Georges Creek Road, named for Georges Creek, a Potomac River tributary which the road parallels"?
 * Delink mph and kp/h in the next sentence.
 * Other than that it looks good. -- Admrb♉ltz (t • c • [ log]) 22:38, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. - Algorerhythms (talk) 22:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
