FYI, The "See also" section is for related articles that are not already mentioned elsewhere in the article. A link on a webpage is equivalent to a "see also" in a printed book. As such, if a term is already linked in the body of an article, a separate link in the "See also" section is redundant.

Template: U.S. Routes

Hello,

I recently undid the changes you made to the U.S. Routes Template. For one, your edits broke the formatting of the template. Please refrain from modifying the layout without approval and discussion first. Secondly, your edits consisted of modifying the pink shading to certain routes. This is only to be allowed after discussion occurs, and a consensus is reached. Please ask on the Template: U.S. Routes talk page BEFORE making any changes. Thank you. --Hans404 (talk) 19:44, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

US 141

I partially reverted a recent addition you made to the article. Your edit introduced speculation about why a highway designation was decommissioned in 1928. Without a source for the "why", we can only state that it happened. The fact of the matter is that in 1925, the one original US Highway Numbering Plan had US 41 turning west along US 2 from Powers to Crystal Falls and running north to Covington. US 102 would have run from Rapid River to Marquette to Covington. In the end, US 41 was routed where it is now and US 102 has the Crystal Falls to Covington route. Why? I don't for sure, but I would assume that it was so that Marquette would be on a mainline US Highway instead of an auxiliary US Highway. Marquette has been the largest city in the UP for most of the last century, but I don't have a source for why it was done. No source, no reason can be added. All information must be attributable to a source. Mere speculation isn't good enough. Fast forward two years to 1926. US 141 was extended north through Wisconsin to end at Iron Mountain, MI. They probably continued to extend it to replace US 102 to simplify and consolidate numbering. No more, no less. It also had the side effect of US 141 ending on US 41 at each end, but without a source for the why, we can't add a reason to the article.
