For many years, this has been an impressive list. In fact, this was the list that was influential in my decision to join Wikipedia way back in March 2005. It meets most, if not all, of the criteria. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reference format needs to be improved. [1], [2], [3] isn't good. Rmhermen 06:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Second one has been fixed. I'll take care of the first and third tomorrow. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 06:22, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, just fixed all three. This issue has been addressed. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 06:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1. Please, use wikitable instead of an "html" table.
2. The sentence "Notable exceptions to these numbering standards are Interstate 238 in California and Interstate 99 in Pennsylvania." makes me wonder whether there are any more exceptions, why they are notable, and why they became exceptions. Please elaborate.

- The wikitable will be constructed shortly. In regards to the exceptions, these should be addressed at Interstate Highway System, not here. I've removed the sentence. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 02:12, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wikitable has been put into place. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 02:33, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the wikitable. I have one more concern, under I-22, it states that "Under construction - opening 2006", this information to me is certainly outdated and needs to be updated.--Crzy cheetah 04:58, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately, the Interstate 22 article says it will open in 2007... I just removed the date. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It might be useful to add lengths to the list. --Polaron | Talk 15:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I would disagree, as that adds too much information to the list. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Look at all the other featured lists. They typically have some other useful information in the table. I would even add states passed through. A featured list should be something that people frequently refer to to quickly get information about the items in list. --Polaron | Talk 12:37, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - I concur with Polaron. (→zel zany - review) 20:25, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
