... that the Irish N53 road from Dundalk to Castleblayney has a gap for 6 kilometres where it enters Northern Ireland? Source: "The N53 Castleblayney to Dundalk road slices through the southern tip of Co Armagh .... For the six kilometres that the N53 is inside Northern Ireland, it is known as Concession Road" [1]
Comment : Non-admins won't be able to verify the 5x expansion as I had to revdel some earlier edits since they were direct paraphrases from the source. The size before I expanded was 728 characters, which makes the minimum required length 3,640 - as I write, there is 3,883
Overall: @Ritchie333: Good article. 5x expanded from the last revision i could check since the others have been revision deleted. Though I will say that you can probably just name the article N53 road since there's no other wikipedia article named N53 road. Onegreatjoke (talk) 14:40, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
That is true (though technically that dutch article is named N53 only and not N53 road and I've seen wikipedia do technicalities like that). Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:11, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
