Ruhrfisch comments: Interesting article and topic. While it is clear that a lot of work has been put into it, some more is needed to improve it further. Very briefly, here are some suggestions for improvement. If you want more comments, please ask here.
- The lead should be an accessible and inviting overview of the whole article - my rule of thumb is to include every header in the lead in some way. The lead is too long for the article length. Please see WP:LEAD
- Article is too list-y and these lists should be converted to prose
- Per WP:CITE references come AFTER punctuation, and are usually at the end of a sentence or phrase. Article needs more references, for example the whole Popular culture section is uncited. My rule of thumb is that every quote, every statistic, every extraordinary claim and every paragraph needs a ref.
- Internet refs need URL, title, author if known, publisher and date accessed. {{cite web}} and other cite templates may be helpful. Refs 2 and 24 need more information - see WP:CITE and WP:V
- Wikipedia is not a reliable source for "(Source: comparison of Reasonable Drivers Unanimous historical chart against Wikipedia Speed limits in the United States.)"
Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:03, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
