Lead
  • Please state the total length of the highway in the lead
  • I think you should state that it is the main road between Baltimore and Philadelphia.
    • I elaborated that the highway was a post road between the two cities in the second paragraph. MD 7 has not been the main road between the cities in over 70 years.  V 23:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Would like to see an external link to a google map highlighting the whole collection of routes in the top right of the page like Delaware Route 5.
    • I think the google map links showing each individual route are sufficient if a person wants to look at the route in more detail. The map in the infobox provides a snapshot of the whole collection.  V 23:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Route description
  • You can wikilink the town names again, once in the lead and once in the article body.
    • I prefer to wikilink each item only once among all prose sections of the article. Please let me know if I have been inconsistent.  V 23:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Its a pity that you or other editors who work on road articles don't provide coordinates. It makes far more sense when you can read the description and follow it on a google map. I guess you provide a link in some of the refs but that isn't always immediately obvious to the reader..♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:51, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
    • We will agree to disagree about coordinates. Thank you for the review, Dr. Blofeld.  V 23:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
