Hi there, I'll be reviewing this article. Comments will follow. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 05:15, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
Lead/infobox edit
- Is there a reason why "circa" is used in the infobox when giving the establishment date of the highway?
Route description edit
- Based on the table in the "Major Intersections" section, it appears the highway begins in Rest Haven; could this be mentioned in the body?
- I removed Rest Haven out of the Major Intersections section. On further research, it appears to be a neighborhood located nearby. The area is not incorporated and the nearest CDP is Bayview, but that is a bit away. So I just put "none" for location.--Ncchild (talk) 02:15, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- At times, this section gets a bit repetitive wording-wise, with repeated use of "NC 99" to refer to the highway. I think it would read a bit better if the wording was switched up a bit, although I admit there aren't a lot of alternative wordings to switch to.
- "makes several curves that adjust its direction to an easterly orientation" → would "makes several turns to the east" or "makes several turns and begins running east" convey the same meaning with a simpler wording?
- You can link U.S. Route 264 at first mention in this paragraph since it's only linked in the lead/infobox previously.
- minor, but "Coastal Carolina Railway" is mentioned in the first paragraph and "Coastal Carolina Railroad" is mentioned in the second paragraph
- "1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Belhaven,..." → MOS:NUMNOTES advises to
avoid beginning a sentence with a figure.
- "Several businesses are located in the area surrounding the intersection" → if this is a necessary detail, I think it could be merged with the sentence before it.
History edit
- Do you have any specific dates for when the original NC 99 was decommissioned and the current NC 99 was opened? It reads a little strangely to see that one happened in 1940 and the other one appeared on maps also in 1940.
- I do not, because the only sources that I have from that time are NCDOT maps, of which the old one disappeared and the current one appeared in the same map. I have been unable to find a 1938 map and the 1939 map appears to not show as much detail so NC 99 nor other routes in the region appear. So perhaps a circa would be warranted?--Ncchild (talk) 02:15, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- What is meant by "earth road"?
- Would it be accurate to link "topsoil" to Dirt road?
