I thought everything on wikipedia should be verifiable? I also thought I could request a citation without getting harrassed about it on my page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ArmAndLeg (talk • contribs) 19:04, November 23, 2006 (EST).

Sure, you can request a citation for something that desperately needs one. A basic, matter-of-fact statement about the general location of a route does not fall under that category. Now, if the statement read "New York State Route 19A is a state highway located in western New York that was originally planned to be part of an eastward expansion of U.S. Route 66", then it would need a citation due to the last portion of the statement, which deals with a theory that NY 19A was to be part of US 66; however, the first portion of the statement, introducing the route and its location, still does not need a citation because this is common knowledge. That is the difference between when a statement needs a citation and when it does not. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 01:40, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
