State highways in Hamilton County, New York
This list, although it isn't "list of", still doesn't disclude nomination, as it is more of a summary rather than a normal article. The article summarizes all 5 state-maintained highways in Hamilton County, New York, and although it uses only 13 references, every fact in the article is cited. I am open to any comments and or improvements. Thanks!Mitch32(UP) 20:53, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:54, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - Looks pretty good, love the intersections table. ĈĠ ☺ Simple? 22:05, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments This is a perfect example of an exception to the "10-item rule".
 * I think you're forcing the boldface here, just lose it
 * Removed.
 * After "New York State Route 30", add "NY 30" in parentheses; same with "NY 8".
 * Done.
 * I meant add them in the first instance, i.e. in the lead.--Crzycheetah 01:25, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The second paragraph has just one sentence, so either expand/merge.
 * Changed.
 * Isn't the "county" column redundant here? The title states clearly that we are going to read about highways in Hamilton County, so why are we mentioning it over and over?
 * Something in the template I cannot fix.
 * Why are you using a template for such a short table?--Crzycheetah 01:25, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What does the blue-ish color indicate?
 * Overlap between routes. That's used in all road articles.
 * Mention it somewhere.--Crzycheetah 01:25, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * There's already a link to the Hamilton County in the lead, why do you have it in the see also section, as well?
 * Removed.
 * The current ref #6 states "PDF", but there is no pdf file in that citation.
 * Replies and dones mentioned.Mitch32(UP) 22:36, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I'm sorry, but I think this should be expanded to cover all highways in the county, a la List of highways in Warren County, New York. The only reason I can think of that might have led to the exclusion of the US/Interstate/County routes is because it is less effort to exclude them, but I feel this leaves the article much weaker than it could (if not should) be - rst20xx (talk) 20:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * This cannot happen. Reasons being, there are NO interstates, U.S. Routes or reference routes in Hamilton County. Other than the 5 (6) state routes I've mentioned, there is a very limited CR system and that can be covered in County routes in Hamilton County, New York. So this is a better format to keep it in rather than having a bad condition list.Mitch32(UP) 22:36, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Well then, surely just adding the limited county routes, a la the sections here and here, would be all that's needed for you to be able to turn this into a general "List of" article? I don't see what's wrong with having both things in one article - rst20xx (talk) 22:44, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Because its crap, and makes the article off topic - and btw - I hate the "list of" header. Your example, in my opinion, is crap as well, and I'd perfer keeping County Routes out of it.Mitch32(UP) 22:46, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * ...see also here - rst20xx (talk) 23:04, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Weak oppose
 * "Map locating where Hamilton County is in New York" - I'd prefer something neater like "Map showing location of Hamilton County within New York state"
 * Fixed.


 * "The five state highways travel the more rural parts of Hamilton County ..." little bit WP:ORish...
 * Fixed.


 * What does blue represent? And pay heed to WP:MOS, don't use only colours to indicate a particular property.\
 * This a USRD thing brought up in the past. Consensus is to keep them.


 * I'd prefer the columns of each table to be the same from section to section...
 * They are the same.


 * Confused between the Location vs Mile in table NY 8 v table NY 10... I think you're a column off somehow...
 * Tried something and forgot fix it.


 * "continue farther than its " further?
 * Fixed


 * "[13][8][11]" I'd prefer numerical order if there's no good reason not to..
 * Changed.


 * Table NY 30 relinks NY 8 and NY 28 but not NY 30 - be consistent with relinking throughout these tables, either link it every time or just the first time and never again, at least in the same section.
 * Changed.


 * "Herkimer[15], " move ref to the other side of the comma.
 * Done.


 * Not particularly overwhelmed by all those external links - is there a more generic link you could add instead?
 * Done.
