• What is "one at-grade roundabout"??

  Linked. According to dictionaries, this is an American term, but I have no idea what its UK equivalent. I've reworded a bit.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

• "giving it a reputation" what's it?

  The road. Clarified.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

• "A roads" link.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

• Link Kenilworth.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

• Barely any links in the second para of the lead and, unless I'm mistaken, absolutely ZERO in the third para. Do you hate Wikipedia?

  Yes, how did you guess? Some links added. Let me know if I've missed any obvious ones.  — Amakuru (talk) 17:09, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

• "both a Scalextric and " track?

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

• A429 is linked differently in lead and "infobox".

  Yeah, that was the {{jct}} template behaving oddly. Honestly, these things are more hassle than their worth sometimes, and the A429 was also coloured green when it should have been white for a non-primary route at that location. I've ditched those and just gone for a straight bulleted list instead.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

• "designation A4053 in" should that be A4053 as a redirect back here?

  REmoved.  — Amakuru (talk) 17:09, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

• "View of Junction 6 of the ring road" from the south, north,...?

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

• "only at grade junction" wouldn't proper English call that an "at-grade junction"?

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

• Link "roundabout".

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 17:31, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

• It's a real pity we don't have a decent drawing of the ring road with junctions. Could you put in a request at the map creation people? I think it would really embellish the description section instead of that very generic photo which is not particularly useful.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 17:31, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

• "a turn off to stay on" you're honestly telling me there's no actual link for this right now?

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 17:31, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

• "including the cathedral, were left" overlinked.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

• "the first bombing" was it singular or perhaps a first series of bombings?

Any thoughts on this? The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 19:00, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: done. Turns out it was a much simpler issuer than I thought at first, I've just changed it to "series of bombings" are you suggest.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:31, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 17:32, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Epic. But my first pass, so be wary. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 15:15, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Amakuru there's one issue you perhaps didn't see? The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 21:48, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: hmm yes, I hadn't got around to checking that issue yet, sorry. Bit silly when it's the last one though, hopefully I'll get to it tomorrow, then you can do your second pass. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 22:14, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
