This is currently a B-class article, and I'd like to get it to GA-class, A-class and then a Featured Article. I think it needs some work, but I'm looking for some outside opinions. --Son 21:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most citations need to be converted to {{cite web}}, {{cite news}}, etc. Also, please provide more references especially in the route description. -- JA10 TalkContribs 22:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The route description needs some references for the facts that are not obvious from maps, like the direction changes in Washington. More importantly, there's very little early history. US 101 south of San Francisco was part of the Pacific Highway; the Redwood Highway was an auto trail that used US 101 from San Francisco to Crescent City. It looks like parts in Oregon and Washington were some of the later U.S. Highways to be paved, and were probably not originally main roads; were these built as scenic roads or just to serve the coastal communities? Detailed history should go in the "US 101 in state" articles, but some more general history should be added. --NE2 20:21, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
