Lead

• " It is a north–south freeway despite its even number, as the Hawai‘i routes of the Interstate system were not numbered according to the mainland standard" — Not mentioned in body.
  • Removed.
    • I'm not sure you need to remove it. Perhaps you could start "Route description" by saying something like "H-2 is an 8.3-mile-long freeway that runs north–south, connecting Pearl City with Waiawa", and then add a footnote at "north–south" explaining the difference. But I'll leave it up to you. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:36, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
      • I think it would be best to explain the numbering at List of Interstate Highways in Hawaii (if that's ever split out), as it applies to all four routes. SounderBruce 05:47, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Route description

• What is the Waiawa Interchange?
  • The name of the interchange, which should be self explanatory.
• Strategic in what sense?
  • Added.
• Are there updated numbers for 2021?
  • They won't be released for a few months, if not longer.

History

• Can this be broken up into subsections?
  • Done.
• $29.2 million can take the {{inflation}} template.
  • Done.
• Ditto $51 million.
  • Done.
• H-2 was described as "Hawaii's forgotten freeway" — Who described it that way?
  • Credited to "local newspapers", as both dailies used the term.
• Can Cabrini Chapel take a red link?
  • Don't think it would be notable on its own.
• Same for $43 million.
  • Done.

References

• Newspaper titles can take links.
  • Only linked on the first use to prevent overlinking (as there was a merger between the two papers used).
    • Is The Honolulu Advertiser linked? --Usernameunique (talk) 05:38, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
• Retrieval dates not needed for printed matter.
  • Prefer to keep them in case Newspapers.com updates their scans and these are re-clipped.

@Usernameunique: Thanks for the review. I've responded to your criticisms and made the changes I felt were appropriate. SounderBruce 04:13, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

No problem, SounderBruce. Two comments above, but passing now. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:38, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

By the way, I put this in WP:Good articles/Engineering and technology#Road infrastructure: United States, but if you have a better idea, feel free to move it. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:42, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

I'll move it to the Western subcategory. It is the first Hawaiian road to get up to GA, so no worries about the confusion. SounderBruce 05:46, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
