Sources moved from references section

These should be refactored as citations for a longer article (I'd like to do it but I'm on the way to bed), but I think they demonstrate that the article is actually sourced. LouiseS1979 (talk) 21:52, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

LouiseS1979 I struck two refs as they don't mention the highway. The fourth reference is not independent and doesn't say they highway began or is anywhere near beginning or even if it mentions the E04. Bgwhite (talk) 23:21, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I struck the 1st ref. It is the wrong highway. That is in the Southern portion of Sri Lanka. If the E04 is going from Colombo to Jaffna, your ref is going in the wrong direction. Bgwhite (talk) 23:27, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Bgwhite. I didn't have a chance to look at those last night - I just cut-and-pasted from the original article - so welcome your help on this. LouiseS1979 (talk) 07:17, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lstanley1979 No problem. I've had many of those, "What was I thinking late last night" scenarios. Your statements at AfD and here got me searching more than I would have, so in the end, it was a good thing that you did. Bgwhite (talk) 08:39, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
