- I will review this article after Dough4872 -- Nbound (talk) 22:41, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Alright, I got bored... Too bad Dough :P
Lead
It is signed in places as the Grand Army of the Republic Highway - Where? or is it just intermittantly? The main US 6 article gives the impression that this name covers all of US6, if so it should be mentioned as such, and then noted the signage is intermittant.
- Iowa is a little funny with how and where GAotRH is signed. The signs are indeed intermittent, not every US 6 signs has an accompanying GAotRH sign, but some do. It is mainly signed along the parts of US 6 that do not overlap I-80, but it is also signed on the former sections of US 6 that are now county roads. Weird, huh? –Fredddie™ 04:42, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- If the signage along former US 6 is remnant, it should probably be ignored. Better yet, if the situation is complex -rather than say what it is "signed" as, mention that it is "declared" or "<insert term>" as GAotRH instead-- Nbound (talk) 12:47, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I
did a little more digging on this reread the part I wrote about it, and where the GAotRH is signed today is where US 6 was located in 1947. Hope that explains it a little more. –Fredddie™ 05:08, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Whats an auto trail?
As a result, the least-traveled sections of the route were moved onto I-80. -- As a result, the least travelled sections were decommissioned and parts of the original route where moved onto parallel sections of I-80
- I don't like the word decommissioned, but I get what you're saying. –Fredddie™
- Ill leave this one upto you. Ill consider it
 Done in any case -- Nbound (talk) 12:47, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- How does that sound now? –Fredddie™ 05:02, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
RD
When describing the physical construction of the highway is it single or dual carriageway?
- In the mini-lead, it mentions that it's mostly a 2-lane road. Is that not enough? –Fredddie™
- The four lane sections were what I was mainly refering to :) -- Nbound (talk) 12:47, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The route parallels I-80 for most of its length; however nearly one-third of the route overlaps the Interstate Highway - its mot going to be immediately obvious to international readers that I-80 is an interstate highway
- Isn't that the purpose of the I-80 article? –Fredddie™
- Possibly, but if so, then we probably dont need a separate link/mention for Interstate Highway. Thoughts? -- Nbound (talk) 12:47, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
US 6 crosses the Missouri River via the Grenville Dodge Memorial Bridge into Council Bluffs, Iowa with I-480 --> ... as part of a duplex (or insert term of choice here) with I-480Mentions of CR routes, or perhaps just the first mention, should link to the appropriate article concerning county routes, international readers have no idea what CR stands for
- Oops. That was an artifact from copying over some text from the I-80 article. –Fredddie™
- There actually no articles about Iowa's county roads, just a section on the primary highway system article. Given that, I don't think a link to county highway would be appropriate here since it doesn't really mention Iowa in depth. This doesn't mean I disagree with you, though. –Fredddie™ 05:02, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
For one-half mile (0.80 km) -- convert to 800m instead. (similar with other sub 1km conversions)
- Some information on the type of landscape would be good. I dont know what Iowa looks like :)
- Would a paragraph in the mini-lead supported by pictures in the body work for you? –Fredddie™ 05:02, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
History
It would be great to get a shield, signage, or other marker for the early routes (all appear to be pre-23 so hopefully no major copyright issues) [just noticed that this was mentioned by the nom, consider this a public request then]
This should be safe to consider a pre-FAC goal. -- Nbound (talk) 12:47, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The primary highway system should be linked from the first instance in the Great White Way subsection
General
Might have to use better terminology than "overlaps" (and similar), such as duplex or concurrency
- I disagree here. I think two routes "overlapping" is an easier concept to grasp than two routes "being concurrent". Plus, a road "duplex" is a neologism. –Fredddie™
- Sounds fair enough, Id personally prefer concurrency to "overlaps" but your usage is consistent. Done
Information to do with previous versions of the US6 shield (if applicable) would be interesting
- Are you suggesting something similar to what I did on U.S. Route 30 in Iowa? –Fredddie™
- That would do nicely, though you could alternatively link to another generalised article that shows example or template versions rather than re-do for each road - your choice :) -- Nbound (talk) 12:47, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Managed to do both, though I'm not entirely sold on it here. –Fredddie™ 05:02, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Needs some pictures (esp. in the RD)
Why do the exit numbers reset in Davenport (I'm curious)
- US 6 exits I-80 where I-280 begins, which is exit 290 on I-80. A mile south of that is where US 6 leaves I-280, which is exit 1 on I-280. –Fredddie™
- Curiousity satisfied XD Done -- Nbound (talk) 12:47, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You might be able to dig up some more history by trawling some newspaper archives (just a suggestion)
- Suggestion only Done -- Nbound (talk) 12:47, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
For the most part the article is quite interesting and informative  -- Nbound (talk) 04:30, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I realised I had forgottent about this recently, Ill try and reply/pass/whatever in the next day or so :) -- Nbound (talk) 13:12, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Most things are fine or reasoning explained - Await updates on remainder -- Nbound (talk) 12:47, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, I think I've replied or asked enough questions to address everything. –Fredddie™ 05:02, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
