• "a 226.241-mile-long " bit too precise for intro prose.

• Could link County (United States) for "counties".

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 17:29, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 17:29, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "Dallas-Canadian-Denver" en-dashes.

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 17:29, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• Not sure how useful that map in the infobox is if you're not clear on where Denver is.

I agree, but not sure how to change it. this is the type of map that U.S. Roads WikiProject wants.

• "changes time zones not once, but twice, during" see above.

• In fact, this part of the description normally comes after the route itself.

I agree but not sure what type of subheader to add because I dont want readers to think its part of the "Sherman and Cheyenne counties" section.? -420Traveler (talk) 18:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "about .5 miles" leading zeros throughout.

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 18:08, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "BNSF Railway" what's one of those?

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 18:08, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "enter Saint Francis as " looks like the formal name is "St. Francis".

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 18:08, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "from Colorado Springs, Colorado to " comma after Colorado.

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 18:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "Kansas-Colorado Boulevard" en-dash.

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 18:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• Is there a link for Union Pacific Highway?

There is not one. -420Traveler (talk) 18:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "went from Colorado Springs, Colorado to " comma needed, and overlinked.

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 18:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

There is not one. -420Traveler (talk) 18:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "crosses the Smoky Hill River, in " overlinked.

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 20:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "Realignments" this section is pretty repetitive prose-wise, "resolution" appears almost 20 times in two paras.... it's almost like it's a candidate for a table...

Should be fixed now. -420Traveler (talk) 21:17, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "and I-70 / US 24 in Goodland. In a" all overlinked.

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 20:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "was in Goodland, Sherman County" both overlinked.

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 20:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• ""c. 1: 211,200" why the space after colon? A few of these.

 Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 20:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• External links section looks empty.

That's it, on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:23, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: Got mostly everything fixed, just have a few questions. -420Traveler (talk) 21:17, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Ok, I still think the map is not helpful really, but understand that it may be the "style" of the project. I'm okay with the structure, there are still overlinks (Goodland, Sherman County) but they seem to be templated that way, which is a shame too. But the rest is satisfactory.
